P.S. How can a chav be a lady? One or t'other. Lol!

Dear me, this post should have come with a spoiler alert on it. The Toronto and neutral fans sat near me found it very amusing as well. It was light hearted, she wasn’t abusing or threatening anyone, this is RL where fans have a bit of banter with each other, like a laugh even when their teams are losing and don’t take offence. It’s not football.

I agree 100%

She has just moved back to the UK after living in Australia for a number of years and spent a fortune flying backwards and forwards to attend matches in Toulouse, Blackpool for the Summer Bash and as many other matches as she could fit in. She lives, eats and dreams Fax! She is also by no means chavvy!

Message for East Standup: Please stay away yourself! We would miss her much more than we would miss you.

The reported attendance was over 2000? I didn't make the trip down south, but are you saying that there was a lot less than that in the ground?

The reported Att in League Express was give as 1658 looked about right the Fax support was tremendous but pls we dont need somebody bashing a drum leave that to Leeds,Wire ,Sheff supporters.
Our Chav Lady bit of harmless fun didn't seem to upset anyone Lighten up onwards & upwards to OLP

The players and coach have already stated they love the drum and fires them up. Stop living in the 1950s and lighten up

I couldn't make it to this one but virtually everyone I have spoken to estimated the attendance at around 700. Similar to the match in Toulouse which gave an attendance of over 2,000. I believe that, as is allowed these days, Toronto included all their ST holders as it was their "Home" game.

As for the drum, I'm not a big fan personally. But so long as it is not persistent I can live with it and apparently most fans, and the players, like it.

Can't believe this thread, this could be any Fax Lady fan, I know a few and they like a drink, although Hudd Shay likes to dress up.

This could be an interesting Topic for Discussion Pros/Cons of Drums lets bring back Rattles thats what i say

Haha, you know me too well Ian!

I think a Fax win at the week end is certain.Hope to see you and Di at Blackpool Bash, we are in the same end as Fax for the Saturday game.

The drum is OK in the scratching shed as I sit in the east stand. Wouldn’t want it behind me. But it does as something in games that’s are a little dull on atmosphere. I’d also like to see Fax fans with flags. Blue and white hopped or checked. We should try and up the Fax atmosphere. Drums flags and yes even rattles.

I've heard of dry hopped and triple hopped but never blue and white hopped! Lol! Three Pig's, Ossett White Rat 4.0% Mmm!

You know that’s hooped you ed up git. Although I enjoy a more malty beer myself

CC To quote Oscar Wild " Nothing in Life is certain except Death & Taxes " We shall see.

Charlie knows , Mick

we are going to Blackpool for the week end , our Dani, is coming to the game with me, she says it's a while since she has seen you, looking forward to it.I will even be cheering Fax on .

Allowed ?



As far as I recall, there never have been any rules about what to include or not include in the attendance disclosed to the press.

Consider this, if it was a cup-tie, would you be expecting a share of money from tickets sold to people who didn't turn up ?



I think you might.

No because season tickets don't cover cup games...

Ok, perhaps "allowed" was the wrong choice of word. Substitute "generally accepted" and, don't get me wrong, I don't agree with it anyway.

The "attendance" nominally is the number of spectators in the ground and this also includes those who attend with free or discounted tickets BUT only if they actually attend.

Was the Chavvy Lady in charge of the scoreboard yesterday?

No but I did see her trying to sneak behind it with a laptop.

I don't agree with disclosing it at all. You wouldn't do it in any other industry. Does League Express print last week's sales ? No. Does Tesco publish how many folk came into their shop yesterday ? No.

Why? What do you have against publishing attendances?

I suspect you would think differently if Eagles were getting 5,000 there every week.

Not at all.

I think it's none of the general public's business. No other business sector does it. Why should we ?

I can confirm said lady is chavvy and should know better.
