suddenly were the most arrogant fans around and Fev have a larger following than us.


according to the Rovers fans.

Well we'll see!! - They only brought 200ish last time around. I hope they do bring 1000 with them for a big game and they can have the other stand then, making a better atmosphere.

The North stand should be open so everything should go smoothly.

Some of behaviour from both set of fans last time was embarrasing and laughable to be honest. Just drunk kids thinking they're hard shouting stuff from 20 yards away. I wouldnt worry bout it. Hopefully the normal fans from both clubs can shut them up (like i know many did last time to be fair)

To bicker about it on here is just silly

Good god man there have been endless threads on your forum from your own fans piissssed off with the little section of bother causers that have tagged onto the club, open your eyes

200 ish about the same as you brought to ours then

According to EVERY fan. are we already forgetting the country mile and MP *****, and the easy easy chant when 18-0 up. Your arrogant all right even after being humiliated on sky Thurs your still very confident / arrogant well done

Att 2,673 your biggest gate of season and on SKY.

Yeah, about two years since they beat Oldham at Headingley to get into NL1 !!!!!!!!!!

interesting....



I forgot bout that...bluming heck Barrow were in NL2 last year and Fev in NL2 the year before...crikey, us NL1 boys are getting our s kicked

Yes and if you watched on sky behind the goal where you were, you would see you brought few fans,

Maybe if we can get 20 or more players all in a room and get them to think positive thoughts then we can get a result on Thursday.
Lets start with the players and caoaching staff........

It did look a poor following form us on the TV, however i was there and we definitely took a lot more than it looked on sky. Like somebody else said it was your biggest gate of the year-granted there would have been promotions/freebies etc.

Mind you, at least you get behind your team, myopic or not.

rovers get behind his team?????? Are you understating that???

The man is as "one-eyed" as you get when it comes to rugby!
Post office Raod is the finest stadium in the world.
Featherstone Rovers are indeed the finest club team ever to play the game.
We have 3000 fans at every game
and all our fans are ladies and gentlemen who only engage in social discourse, repartee and exciting badinage at matches.

I found the taunts at half time at your gaff by (a small section) of your crowd to be unnecessary and provocative. Many of the posters on here agreed at the time.
It's an objective comment and I've seen similar provocative action from Rovers fans getting too excited.
Arrogant?? Possibly, possibly not.
But, having been the recipients of the taunts when they came, I can see how and why some rovers fans took great delight in advising their Halifax counterparts of their previous comments when Rovers won in the last minute!!!!

That's history, tho we are still enjoying that one!!

Thuirsday is a different game. Fax have home advantage and I would imagine are just about the bookies fav but not by much.
I'm hopeless at predicting so I won't except we will bring more than 200 fans!!!

I don't know about anybody else but I feel our luck is changing. To play Featherstone rather than Widnes makes me feel somebody upstairs is giving us a chance! No disrespect to Featherstone but fax would not have beaten Widnes no way! Maybe next season when we have rebuilt the side in terms of personnel and mindset. I just feel that our moment is arriving again because we have a golden chance to prove everybody wrong (including me at times!) and put this great club back at the top of the tree. If we can win the GF I am convinced we will go from strength to strength and the momentum will be with us for more success. Failure this time is not an option so come on fax keep your composure and give 100%and Warrington here we come!

All this kerfuffle over a poxy 30G





If your that skint we will get Des to donate his copper jar






Only kiddin yer puddin

To finish 6th and be in sniffing distance of the final I would think so. Plus it [imay[/i be Harris last game as a player so he's going to have a point to prove isn't he? Fev as a collective will be coming to our house to show us up on national telly. We need to show 'em which club's the daddy

God knows how you work that out, i have just watched the Widnes DVD and we murdered them, plus we will have 2 top players who didnt play in that game available. Darrel Powel is the best coach in the game and has got Rovers peaking at the right time, i think you would of been better off playing Widnes.
As for the last time we went to Fax you all know what the problem is, you have some young fools gathering at the back of the stand trying to create a football atmosphere, singing childish songs, trying to intimidate families and throwing things, generally been very disrespectful to other clubs / fans. You have watched this all season and done nothing the only time you worry about it is this week because you know Fev will be bringing hundreds of fans and many still bitter about there treatment last time. GET THEM SORTED OUT

How do you work that one out then?
It did look like a poor following but there was more there. It looked like a poor following because it was.
The reason there was a big crowd is because Rovers fans turned out, dont forget we averaged nearly 5k before we were dumped from the top flight and we took 5k to the grand final in 2007 those fans havent all died you know they are still out there. Thurs will be the biggest, most passionate, most vocal away following that the shay has seen for a few seasons

Will be good to play FEV again

Lets hope so, but I am afraid we will be disappointed. only ONE team has almost filled our away end and that was WIDNES. The crowd that day was just short 4k.

If you bring 1/2 what Widnes did that day I will be happy, but with an avg home attend half of Widnes I DOUBT IT!

Please sober up and look at your attendance stats

so far we're on our 4th bus and filling it quick.
I reckon about 6-700 of us will make the journey, though many believe i'm being conservative in my estimates.

Excellent... but still WELL short of Widnes in NRC semi, they brought > 1,000

I am sure it will still be a great atmos tho'

of everyone I've so far spoken to, I think my estimates are the lowest for travelling fev fans!

Glad the north stand is open

And yes, the atmos should be great. Play off footy is exhaltation and heartache! It'll be a right ball ache for the loser and a buzz like a tumble wi her on the one show for the winner!!
