Excellent game. And fantastic performance, Not many visiting teams will score 60 going up the slop in the 2nd half.

Much better than staying to watch 'Britain's got the x-factor voice strictly talent dancing'.

Was there as 'Neutral' stood with sheffield fans.

Shame about of the abuse from the fev fans.

About as far away as you can get.

My 75-68 prediction in the Fax thread wouldn't have been far off!

Funny how on the Fev forum, in the build up to the game, they were all going on about how we don't have any fans, yet after the game there's not a single comment about our following. Special mention to the Fev fan that wanted to take on the whole of the away end on his own.

Still not quite sure what happened! Was convinced we had lost at 40-44, great spirit to dig in and close the game out; we didn't actually concede any points in the last 17 minutes.

Match report is on the website.

That has to be one of the most bizarre games I've ever been too..

I would of been happy with a bonus point from the game but our 1st half performance and the way we started the second half was excellent.

I did think at 40-44 Featherstone would just carry on and we'd lose by 16-20 points but credit to the team we dug deep and even denied them the bonus win.

Great game!

Far from it, I'd say (that was actually meant as a back-handed compliment as it was a pleasant surprise to see so many Eagles fans there last night). There were no more than maybe 30-40 at Leigh, albeit understandable for a Thursday night, whereas I thought there were maybe 100+ there last night.

Ok I'll bow to your judgement!

Matt, your eyes are clearly playing tricks on you, everybody knows that the local taxi doubles up as the away travel for Eagles fans!!

You're exactly right, I do apologise!

I did the head count and there were at least 3 extras that weren't on the register!

The 3 who weren't on the register would've been me, me mam and our mate Chris (a Huddersfield fan).
We were stood on the side terracing near the Blue Lagoon Bar - would've swapped ends at half time, but me Mam had gone to get some chips and they'd already kicked off by the time she'd got back; so we couldn't be a*sed to move.

Only abuse we had was having Janet Krankie jnr stood at the bottom of the terracing from us. Heard the "You must have come in a Taxi" chant - did you get some other abuse from the family stand in 2nd half?

We've conceded 90 points in 2 games and we're 2nd in the table, with only Hunslet and Swinton having conceded more points than us!

Best way I could sum up the game is: Men of the Match - Brian Rix & Jacques Tati !!

As my Fartowner friend said "Would've loved that to have been the televised game - just to hear the interviews with DP & Tubbs immediately after the game".

Definately the most bizarre game I've ever been to. Had good banter with the Fev fans near us - think we both need to train with the Giants next week to work on our defence before the cup games.

Ah well, onwards & upwards - here's hoping for a grand day out in York next Sunday with a bit more of a one-sided tryfest from the Eagles!

Somebody else said to me that there was some verbal abuse towards the end.

I have to say that, for myself, I came across nothing but courtesy and congratulation, albeit through gritted teeth.

A few Fev fans congratulated us, just one moron decided to give it the big 'I AM' but every club has them.

Can't remember many games like that one (and I've been to a few over the last 33 years). I wish we could play well for the full 80 minutes, we'd be top of $UPERLEAGUE by now. The atmosphere last night was brilliant among our lot and it shows what can happen when we all manage to stand (or sit) together (although I only managed the second half on the scoreboard end). Looking forward to York next week now. Although we can't get complacent, I don't think we'll have too much to worry about, having seen York today at Hunslet.
