I had a chat with Mark Campbell, the Featherstone Chairman, on Friday night at the Exiles game. He came straight over asking about David Singer and every time I see him he asks me how he is doing. Mark said he would like to offer his executive box if David wanted to go to the game on Thursday with his family. I know a lot of people over at Fev and they always enquire about David.

. You blame Fax fans for starting a fire when there is no proof Who the person was who started it.

The same as there is no proof about who commited the attack

Trust me - that has already happened!! Several times.
However, the burden of proof lies with the CJS to prove guilt, No-one has to prove their innocence! and there lies the problem, while ever this country has the fundamental notion that a man is innocent until proven guilty.
I believe the police know who the perpetrators are.

I should take my own advice - and that of the Grinder! Must butt out of this crapola!

Bang on mate! I dont give a monkeys about the banter and the talk, its the assault that gets me. Get the idiot/s arrested and imprisoned and the crowds will come back when Fev play Fax. Someone is protecting them and they should be ashamed of themselves. We have had good banter with Fev fans for decades and our club just like theirs has a few idiots that need bringing into line.

I also think the police know who it is but without the Crown prosecution service agreeing to prosecute nothing can be done, I know the man who was attacked on water lane 2 years ago who suffered brain damage as a result, the police know exactly who did it and arrested him, Again due to the CPS they basically said it was unlikly to get a custodial sentence and so the CPS dropped it. Garys life has never been the same but the scumbag allowed to carry on with life. Unfortunalty in life these things happen. I am sure David would not want Fans of both clubs at each others throats especially when non doubt the good fans of fev, had nothing to do with it.

Come on now enough is enough. Boycott if you like its your decision but these threads are damaging and indeed tireless now.

Thats enough from me on this thread.

I'm sure, nae positive, we have a group of Fax fans at the back of the South Stand who have constantly been sighted for throwing things, being racist and in one case trying to start something with Widnes fans in the car park who come to 'bigger' games yet Halifax have done f**k all about it and they still go. I literally cannot believe that Fax fans are still wound up with the ENTIRE Fev Club because some ed yobs beat up a Fax fan and a few more local yobs are hiding his identity, non of which probably go to the games anyway.

By not going to the Semi you aren't helping your own Club both financially and in terms of vital support to get us into a Final. Reaching a Final should be one of the best moment you can get as a sports fan and most of you lot are going to miss it based on very little.

No one likes Fev, their own residents probably thinks it's a sh**ehole

but as a match day experience it is no worse that a number of Clubs we've all been to, and will go to, plenty of times. If you feel your safety is at risk, bring a pool ball in a sock or a flare.

Plus these thread don't help and should be locked straight away (well these types of comments, it was a normal thread asking a normal question to be right). If you don't want to go keep it to yourself, putting escalated terror on a public forum isn't going to help bring potential floaters.

Not true! The police have been repeatedly told the names of the aggressors. Building a case that would convict is another matter.

Tommy, Faxhali, your posts have balance and some insight. I keep trying my level best to butt out of this crapola - but when you keep reading some of the stuff I am being associated with, I can't help chelping back.
I'm a big ginger nurse who has never hurt a fly! - ever!!
I appreciate your comments.

I don't believe you, i think when you was younger you used to burn the wings off flys with your magnifying glass !!. You absolute monster!!

I have to admit to farting in a lift on a cruise ship 3 years ago! Some say that should carry a life term!

But your boycotting are you not all the same?? Kind of takes the edge off your argument really??

Thanks for asking, no i won't be going on Thursday as it is the cricket season and my son has a match and i'm the taxi driver. Thursday games for Fax cause me loads of issues and also for my son as he ballboys.
Hope it's a good game and we come out on top in the end.

Just trying to get back on track.

I will be going on Thursday along with my Brother and Dad. Remember those who boycott the game on Thursday will be hitting the club we love in the pocket.

Sorry won't be going Neil. Think I'll do something else to get the club a few quid instead!!

Was it a ' silent ' one ?

Yes I am not going to those venues. My decision, doesn't mean we have to go round in circles with the same thread over and over again.

I don't have a argument to make chris, I am saying these threads are now boring and damaging.

wouldn't miss it

No but you clearly post as someone who disagrees with boycotting the game and the reasons why people (including me) won't be going to Fev for this game or any game again at POR. Yet you are quite clearly one of those people?? Confused me that's all you give your logic on why you shouldn't be put off going?? Yet you clearly comment on another thread that Fev is somewhere you won't attend again? Surely you can see your statement on this thread is flawed??

Goodluck in the Semi final and i will be watching on sky.

I was certainly "stupid" in assuming you were one of the decent fans.

Re-read my post and you will see that it is pro Fev. I didn't say that Fev fans were withholding valuable information. Clearly somebody is though or are you that "stupid" to think the only chance of a conviction is by extracting a confession from the alleged culprits!

Your aggressive attitude simply reinforces the (mistaken) views of some on here that all Fev are the same as the minority.

I will be there, lets do em when it matters again

.come on the fax!

Not at all, I am not going and that's my decision as others are entitled to there's. What I am saying is that banging on about why not to go etc is not doing anyone any favours. As I put we and I included myself are not saints when it comes to shouting, swearing at times when not realising we have a go at other clubs. I honestly don't care who goes and who doesn't that's up to each individual.

I am sick of theads slating another club at any opportunity because of one very unfortunate and nasty incident which involved one or two people. Not one or two thousand. I have had my two penneth at them in the past but draw a line under that now, I don't have to criticise every time we play them for the next ......(to be inserted after 27th July )

Oh dear you have over stepped the mark pal.
Yer it might have been Fax fans smoking in the stand causing that fire but it could also have been fans attending the Championship One Final or even staff who knows? We have been through this all before.
As for who attacked Dave Singer well what you trying to say it was not even a Fev fan?
Well let me tell you I was in the same coach park and was there only minutes after the attack apparently (I did not know until I had boarded my coach and the driver told me who was from Leeds by the way and he said it was Fev fans who attacked one of our fans) and I do know there was a lot of very angry looking Fev fans hanging around outside their coaches, luckily for me a decent Fev fan walking near me as we got near to all the coaches warned me to put my flag away (I have said this before a huge thanks to him) as we approached the coach park. This after how long were we in the ground celebrating our win 15 to 20 minutes [iat least [/iso why were they hanging around?
We all know it was Fev fans so do not try deflect this onto who?
Anyway enough lets concentrate on the match, we are underdogs and I would expect Fev to win but you never know its cup football, come on Fax!
