There were some total tosspots from both sets of fans, both clubs need to sort these idiots out

I saw the guy getting carried into the ambulance after the cowardly attack by those scum so called Fev fans. There were groups of Fev fans clearly looking for trouble last night, swearing at women and children and small groups as to intimidate and single out and i made sure that our party stayed together to avoid any issues. I feel for their genuine fans as its not their fault and both clubs had there idiots there today. Personally the way i feel right now i will never visit post office road again and risk the safety of my friends and family if these type of people are allowed to roam the streets. Hopefully there were cameras in that area last night and the low life will be caught.

Hope the lads ok. We were in the wetherspoons where a lot of so called fev fans were and they were quite intimidating. I believe the police were called shortly after we left. One thing we did notice was a lot were not wearing fev colours just the flat caps. Trouble makers on a day out rather than true fans?

I didnt meet one single decent fev fan yesterday, everyone I came across summed up the low life interbred coal digging monkey stereotype.

Yes both sets of fans had problems, but when a steward gets pepper sprayed and arrested, what does that tell you about Warrington Wolves and their stadium management?

There was a few Fev scum, I won't call them fans as it is an injustice to the real fans, just looking for trouble in the coach parking area, they were goading everyone who went past so lets hope the guy is OK and the Police get the culprits

Just because you're not wearing colours doesn't mean you're not a fan. I don't wear colours when I go to an Eagles game and not many of my mates do either

Yeah but Sheffield only have 50 fans anyway, Barlow had a storming game yesterday dont you think ! true workhorse, how come he never played like that for sheffield ?. maybe the fans never got behind him

The lad has had to have emergency surgery.

Lets hope he pulls through, and that any Fev fans who know who the assailant was come forward and speak to the police

Fev fans were a disgrace yesterday.

Every confrontation was brought down to a scummy level involving swearing or violence, suprising how a little village near Castleford can bread so much SCUM!

Anyway the result was right and hopefully their conduct was seen by all and any SL dreams for them died along with their 2010 campaign.

I hope the lad makes a full recovery and that the culprit(s) are found and brought to justice.

It's a terrible shame that this has taken the gloss off of what was a great game of Rugby League and a comeback that showed true heart from Fax.

Hope the fella pulls through.

Can't believe there wasn't a police presence in the coach park, i wont refer to them as fev fans as i dont believe they were but several were just looking for bother in the car park, very poor losers.

But this was a group of about 50 people, not one in club colours!

I was shocked at how the Fev Fans were acting. I think the majority of rugby fans are used to vocal abuse by now. But the way that those 30+ Fev fans tried to run on the pitch thinking they were in a scene of Green Street or something was disgusting.

I was also amazed at when we were walking back around the stadium after the game, 5 Fev Fans all in there 20's started laughing,chucking stuff and shouting the "w..ky... chant" at a boy who only must have been 14/15. Just not needed at all in this game, really was bullying.

Hope whoever was involved pulls through. Sad end to a great day.

York City Knights fan standing with the Fev fans. Sums it up perfectly.



And before anyone cries out I know there was problems in our crowd aswell. But the Fev lot, not a nice crowd at all.

Absolute scum.

Hope the lad pulls through. What a shame such a classic game has been tarnished by this incident and the fire too.

Funnily enough, last year I saw absolutely no trouble at all. Fans from bot Fax & Barrow were drinking together in the pub just outside the ground. After the game there were hands being shaken & friendly banter - No trouble. When Fev came to Barrow earlier in the season there were Fev supporters swapping ends and goading fans. After the game there was trouble in the crowd.........seems to be a common denominator in amongst all this doesn't there?



I sincerely hope that your supporter recovers fully. I have just started taking my 5yr old to games and don't want this type of thing creeping in. I most certainly won't be attending any game involving Fev

The Barrow fans were good sport last year, I did not see one incident, Yesterday different story.

Am I the only one who expected this if we won, I have said for many a seasons when we play Fev away a lot of them get nasty if we we win at their place, htis season has been better as we lost but when we have won afterwards it's been a bit dodgy, I've seen grown men try get on teh fax coach starting, bricks and what not pelted at the coaches, kids effing and blinding tos us. When they win their more or less fine but when they lose they get nasty.

All yesterday you could tell quite a large majority just wanted to kick off, even before the game, then to win like we did well that was asking for it, I think we staying in the ground quite a bit afterwards to cheer the team was a blessing in disguise.

Really hope the fella pulls through and is ok! What a horrible end to a great day on the field but a tragic one off it!

This guy should be walking round with a headache and a massive smile on his face today after enduring the hard times with Fax!

There was a group of about 20 Fev fans waiting down the access road to the coach park, looking for trouble, all in there late teens early 20's, even a couple of females. They were chanting at us, but didn't have the balls to start on large groups, instead took to throwing full beer cans at Fax fans after they had walked past, and waiting for the stragglers

After a couple of unsavoury incidents whilst changing ends at Post Office Road in the play off game, tied to events yesterday, I will never set foot in Post Office Road again. Scum the lot of them. Poor winners - as we saw on this board after the play off, but even worse losers.

We had a few Halifax idiots yesterday, but not as many as Fev.

There is no place for this in Rugby League. We were only talking in the Ivy House before the game about the friendly family atmosphere we get in the game, all the big games attracting neutral fans wearing their club colours without fear.

Really took the gloss off a superb day for the club and fans

I hope the lad pulls through.

It's about time the RFL changed the venue for our big day out, the HJ is poorly stewarded/policed, the parking of opposition coaches next to each other is asking for trouble.
Some Fev fans were a shower of $hite yesterday, do they realy live their lives behaving like that ?
SCUM.

-Straight from the courier.

Sorry to here the bad news and hope he recovers soon.I know we all have banter and say do not like a team, but to take out a mans pleasure after a win, is shocking.Anyway fingers crossed and he can watch the replay on a DVD.Maybe the club can send him a free DVD to watch?Anyway well done yesterday.

I sincerely hope the injured guy makes a full recovery. I attend nearly all international and Grand finals, but i had no intrbtion of attending yesterday. My family and i will never attend any match involving Featherstone Rovers due to incidents at both Post Office road and Headingley in the past. The animosity to other fans is beyond belief.

Yes we were in Spoons a group of about 15 Fax fans enjoying a laugh and a few drinks when suddenly we were mobbed by the so called 'Fev fans' who were very intimidating the police were soon there and on the door we left the pub and moved on but it was the same everywhere we went I'm all up for a bit of banter and last year we had that with the Barrow fans that is what our wonderful game is about and this behaviour needs to be stamped out we don't need it ruining our game!!............ We too noted that most of them just had the flat caps on and no shirts definitely just out for trouble................ Hope the fan is going to be OK

I am a Fev Fan and would like to reply to some of the posts on this thread.

1 First of all let me wish the gentleman a full and speedy recovery.
2 I hope the thugs are arrested, charged and locked away for a long time.
3 I hope they are banned for life from ALL rugby grounds and have ther faces plastered on turnstiles, forums,club sites and local newspapers.
4 I hope that if any Fev fan knows who was involved they come forward and give the info to the police.I saw some trouble makers and can honestly say i've not seen them at Fev all season and you do tend to recognise faces of regulars, these weren't.

I know that feelings are running high but please don't label all Fev fans as scum, we're not and frankly it is unhelpful. I won't deny we have some fans who misbehave but generally the ones who attend regularly are decent fans and are not only suffering because of yesterday's result but also incidents like this.Believe me our fans (those who don't just crawl out of the woodwork for finals) are disgusted with the behaviour of our so called supporters and I personally wish they didn't attend.

The stewards and police need to ask themselves some serious questions.
Why didn't they move the Fax fans on the pitch towards the North stand where the Fax fans were seated rather than let them line up near the Fev fans.
I am not making excuses for our supporters but some Fax fans were goading our supporters and the situation could easily have got out of hand.
Why was there no police presence in the coach area when the police knew that there were incidents taking place outside the ground.I hope they learn a lesson because this could have been prevented.

I hope that the clubs can rebuild relations and it is going to take the decent supporters of both clubs to do this by joining together, condeming the thugs, identifying them if we can and when we visit each others grounds try to join forces to stamp out bad behaviour.

Enjoy the victory as we did our league leaders title and I hope next season we can start to build bridges because I bear no grudge against honest decent rugby supporters regardless of who they support.
