Quote: Bostwick "We will see the true Featherstone fans that night. Perhaps we will be able to ask them if they all came in the same car. It is the same old routine when you go away. They often state that they bring many more to our ground than we take theirs..
What they fail to appreciate, Sheffield is our closest away game, so every other week we have a several hundred mile round trip to follow our team.
Last season I spoke to a Sheffield fan at Doncaster who complained he had to take three buses to get to the game. How my heart bled.
Last weekend for example my trip to Workington involved an overnight stay in a Hotel and round trip of 760 miles.
It is my choice, I enjoy it, it is what I like to do. But although some do appreciate our efforts, many do not. But let them go on moaning, it is water off a ducks back.

Bostwick,
I don't get your points highlighted above.
For the 1st point even on a Saturday night for a game which is a bit pointless for both teams given that it is a comp that neither team will win the likelihood is that we will bring 2 coaches to the game. I suspect it is likely to be 3/4 for the game which does matter over Easter.
As for moaning I don't see anyone moaning on here that it is a Saturday night (though I suspect you'll twist my words into a moan), just people stating the obvious there will be less Fev fans there on a Saturday compared to the Sunday afternoon. For example personally I had left that Sunday (and Friday) free, but I have another engagement on the Saturday. This will preclude me from go to the CC game on the Saturday night. It is just the way it is, but will be there for the league game.
I guess this means I am not a true Fev fan?
Yours in Sport.
Dave
