I take it us Fev fans arnt welcome then

You know its a peaceful protest?

Bolx to the lot o u then

That's more like it.



Seriously I am sure you are just as welcome as any other fans.

I don't know why you don't think your not welcome.

You are, as is everyone,

This guy got in touch showing some genuine interest so let's stop the childish digs please?? I'd like a lot more Fev fans to join us on this too!!

Chill out GD , at the moment it's essentially a Fax thing until proper contact with supporters groups can be arranged , hopefully then we can bring in others and build , besides which I don't think they,ve got your size

The day after The Grand Final ( the proper one at Warrington ) I will be cancelling my subscription to Sky.
Where can I buy a shirt tomorrow night ?

Thank you at least we have some people who seem to still realise what this is about. I will be in the Shears from about 5-30pm and then outside the ground from about 6-15pm they will be £3-50 or above donations.

Shock , Horror , RFL actually being influenced by proposed actions of Championship clubs fans

See there's a first time for everything

However it also once again shows up the ridiculous situation where the sports governing body is willing to potentially harm a club , because of their own incompetance

Difficult choice

Quite simply if Fax are on ' standby ' to replace one of the ' Chosen few ' if they dont keep their promises , then the RFL should come out and say so , why the need for ' nudge , nudge , wink , wink ' ?

They are meant to be grown men running a serious proffessional sport , if the actions of a few hundred disgruntled fans means they would deny Fax that promotion , how pathetic are they ?

They need to grow up , stop behaving like a group of giggling schoolgirls telling tales and become the strong leadership this sport needs

I agree with Starbug it`s the RFLs own incompitance that has been shown up here and for all those that said we shouldn`t protest because it will not make any differance they are not bothered about us just shows the opposite.
They most certainly are bothered and if we can get other clubs involved they will not be able to put pressure on all the clubs to bring their fans into line.
We may eventually end up with a much fairer deal any fans from other clubs are most welcome to come along tonight and show your support.

The statement is laughable actually as it shows whoever wrote it knows nothing about why we are making a stand and it is more or less saying that our fans are spiting the dummy out because we didn`t get in Super League.
When in actual fact it has nothing to do with it , it was merely the catalyst . In fact the statement as other people have said reinforces the very issues we are challenging they have no comprehension whatsoever the way ordinary fans feel about what they are doing to our game and that statement shows that.

My mate from Fev is chuffed that Fax supporters trust have been in contact with their FRISA to try & make things right.

Good work by those involved i say.

Yes indeed it may be the key that unlocks the way forward for all Championship clubs to work together maybe your mate would like to contact LISA as I am sure if they work together on the SPIRIT OF 1895 it will give them a commom cause.

Maybe a Facebook Group could be setup and maybe events could be coordinated on their as well-first event tonight for example then whoever is on TV next week. If we get the fans of ALL championship clubs working together and wanting changes it will have more weight in my opinion. Also Facebook you will reach more people than just on here-you will reach a community outside of Rugby League.

what do you mean "whoever is on tv next week"? Its us!!!

Well we know what Sky are liek and how they make last minute changes!!!

too true







The danger is that, too the public, it just looks like a "fax" sulking thing, which is dangerous.

How , do you think it will put people who dont currently come off coming to watch them ?

It will affect how fans of SL look at Fax ? , so who cares about their opinions

Well yes it does look like it`s a Fax sulking type of thing because that is what they want everyone to think ,even the Boards statement says so when it most certainly is not.

Also while im on a bit of a rant.

"but would urge them to avoid actions which could detract from the spectacle of a vital match and distract the team."

I think it is you BOD who are giving them distractions not the loyal fans and the boys must know that we are behind the team 100 %. It is you the BOD who have left us with no coach. It is you the BOD who have left the boys not knowing if they are going to be signed next year or if they need to look elsewhere. Exactly the same as last year so if you are going to make a statement, make sure it isn't contradictory to what you have already said and grow a pair of Balls. Micheal Steele has clearly been made to look like a jester with all his ranting and interviews and now this statement.

I know they do their best as the BOD but i do wonder sometimes with everything over the last 2 years with tribunals and being kicked out of the challenge cup, is it the BOD who are not up to the task of getting us into SL ?. Make your own minds up.

As i mentioned before and got shot down, Surely you could get copies of the Bids under the Freedom of information act. On the courier site today their is something about ufo sightings and they were released by the Ministry of defence under the FOIA.
