police have analyzed the video and seen pretty much the same as me.

they believe it to be atleast 2 featherstone "fans", (i however saw 4-5 people)
i state people as not 1 person had a featherstone shirt on. most in Jeans and jackets 2 had flat caps on.

the video starts at the guy (dunno if it is David) is falling to the floor with somebody laughing and joking in the background with a deep Yorkshire accent.

the video bounces as if they have put the camera in a pocket and run and then cuts out.

Quote: wereutherein1987? "Only one team with the idiots!

Last years GF there was no trouble AT ALL, in fact there were a few dozen fax fans enjoying the game with Sparrow fans in the South stand, I think there would have been no possibility of that this yr.

Also the banter outside the Lord Admiral pub (the one nr the red lion) was non existant, it was brought down a level by the Fev fans, swearing, intimidating and just generally hostile. I took myslef and the lad into the ground earlier than planned to avoid further as trouble was brewing. Again non of this last yr.

Common denominator

It seems that it was a Halifax fan, which started the fire in the Ladies toilets.


Look, these things happen occasionally. When it does, we tend to play all the trouble back in your mind that you may have had with the fans of the offending club. This can give you a tainted view of that clubs’ fans as a result.

Fev fans are not scum, but we now know that a few are. Halifax fans are not arsonists, but it appears that one might be. Ergo, a few fans from each club have ruined the day for the 99.9% of the rest, who were all there for the right reasons. That is not a dig at either set of supporters, but praise for the majority of fans from both clubs.

As has been pointed out by ‘Frothing Viking’, we were in a similar position at Blackpool; on the all day and sharing the same car park. I didn’t see a single bit of trouble. I have no doubt that both clubs will have fans quite capable of causing trouble, fortunately, just like last years GF between you and Barrow, they didn’t make an appearance.

If Rovers have a major problem with their fans, it will become apparent over the next few years, should they continue to be successful. At this moment, I wouldn’t rush into any firm judgment.

Quote: Frothing Viking "A few months ago we also lost a final which we were comfortably winning. We had all spent a whole day drinking round Blackpool before the game and continued to do so after the game. We too were all on the same carpark next to the ground but we didn't wait to ambush Batley fans. Rugby League may not be the shiny utopia that the RFL say it is and sometime scuffles happen but this was downright thuggery. I have never heard of this happening at a game before so why would special precautons be made when not normally required. I hope whoever did this is caught as this is entirely their fault not anyone elses.'"


I take it your a new Widnes fan then, as Widnes along with Warrington were the worst in the game a few years ago

Not to paint them all but in recent years only trouble from Championship clubs gas spelled from Fev, only side to cause bother at our joint etc. Whether it is bangwaggon or not the CLUB needs to act rather than hide behind 2 pint pitchers & policing!

there is very little point to rovers fans coming on here and crying about us talking rubbish on this subject, because most if not all of us have first hand experience of the seemingly higher than average number of idiots they have 'supporting' them. three times in my life i have experienced trouble at rugby league games, two at fev and once last year when we played fev at our place. on one occasion at fev, a gang of at least a dozen verbally abused my then girlfriend and one of them (a girl) slapped my girlfriend. of course, when me and the widnes massive then got stuck in they suddenly became feeble weaklings, but could run like usain bolt. At our place last year, i saw 7 Fev 'fans' ejected from the ground, and they were just the ones sitting within a few rows of me. a nice guy from Fev even said to me as this was going on, 'they all got kicked out at halifax last week' this needs to be sorted. simple as, there is a problem with certain fev fans and has been for many years. get it sorted and stop looking for excuses.

and of course not all Fev fans are idiots. i hope and imagine the vast majority of the good people of Featherstone are just as, if not more so annoyed by this than the rest of us.

One visit to Featherstone in 2008 and my daughter decided she wasn't going to any more away games. It's quite true that all clubs have a percentage of lunatics, but the over-age boot boys that follow Featherstone are the worse I've ever come across in rugby league.
It's one of those things in soccer and rugby league that the fans of small clubs with hardly any history of winning things (Millwall, Cardiff, Featherstone, Whitehaven) have to make their name some other way. Add that to the tiny gene pool and in their logic, anyone supporting another team or who comes from another part of the country, even a part they've never visited, is the enemy. I hope they get the slime who attacked that lad on Sunday.

Fev have won every major honour in the game, Widnes and Warrington had terrible reputations not long ago

Widnes had one of the worst reputations in the game a few years ago, ask some of your older fans you saying that makes you look daft

This is the second time you've said this. First off, invoking the name of our bitterest rivals as if we're supposed to be ashamed on their behalf doesn't make sense. Secondly, we have never had a particularly bad name in the game at all. You've made that up. Warrington did, which is why you keep posting "widnes and warrington", so it's not completely made up. Thirdly, you've come on here to prove your fans are not the bad types they are being portrayed by posting in a confrontational, aggressive manner and are exhibiting the very behaviour (lumping all fans together and attacking them) that you are presumably trying to prevent other fans from doing to featherstone. In short, you are dousing the situation by adding firewood.

I'm locking this thread, and I suggest you go and have a lie down because by making excuses for the attack, bringing up completely unrelated incidents and attacking other clubs you are giving featherstone fans a bad name.
