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.

Yes, that must be infuriating, but I'm puzzled as to the timing of it in this thread - indeed, my own previous post was fulsome in its praise of London's travelling supporters.
Have to take issue with the comment "We will see the true Featherstone fans that night" though. There will be a lot who go to nearly every game home and away who simply can't make it, due to work or family commitments - there won't be many kids there either I'd have thought. I simply made an observation that the crowd will be down because of the kick off timing, it wasn't blaming anyone, especially as our club wanted to play Saturday rather than Sunday.
