Just because he does not concur with your hypothisis "Holmes" does not make him lucky perhaps you were unlucky or maybe you are a very sensitive soul!

You were doing so well, then showed your true colours and bitterness



Well as a good rovers fan I am going to try and help you all out here and give you some valuable advice. Do not visit our capital city, cos I have heard there are a lot of stabbings, you also might want to stop crossing the road or driving a car as this too may be dangerous.

Anyway, back to the game.

My thoughts are that we lost this in the first half, where we just continually looked for penalties, most players were asking for penalties on every tackle and then getting frustrated when they werent given.

Our first half defence was pretty much as it has been for many a game, where we just missed tackle after tackle.

The highlight was Paul White going the length of the field and the low light was Paul White going into touch 5 meters from our own line, giving Featherstone possession to take the game away from us.

Whilst Danny Jones didnt really do anything wrong at full back, he didnt really make many return yards each time he took the ball.

All in all it was brighter than recent weeks and gives Calland and Noble plenty to work with.

Onwards and upwards...

I seriously don't understand you.

There have been incidents at a number of your games and yet you keep rolling out the old 'bitterness' garbage.

Fans are not coming to your games as they are concerned about your increasingly aggressive support. This is FACT. You cannot argue with this and you should not be proud.

Maybe rugbyball should change his nik to rugbybollux .......

=#0000FFPOST REMOVED. Well out of order. Any more of that and you'll take a break. TS

I've been to a fax game back in the day when a fax fan ran onto the pitch to attack the ref but if you beleive everyone on here a fax fan would never do that cos we are all perfect. I have been to every game against fev since they have been back in this division and will continue to do so. Not once have i felt threatened . I didnt park in the car park for fax fans i just parked in the back street like normal and walked up with my fax colours on like usual and not one fev fan said anything out of turn. Infact the league game last year it was a fax fan who had had one too many shandys staggering about shadow boxing and goading the fev fans but like i say every club has these idiots unfortunately.

It's not illegal to swear in stadiums so what's the point in going to stewards?
I don't understand what people WANT Fev to do. Nothing actually happens. Fev's a ehole and clearly has a number of 'special' residents but if you don't like it then don't go.

What's it got to do with Halifax fans what happens at Fev and their attendances? Are our fans the jesus' of Rugby League and trying to help people see the light in some holier than thou way? It's madness.

Halifax only got 1,900 for a league game recently. Was that because our fans were swearing in chants (which they WERE in previous weeks)? No. It's probably because the Championship is boring and Rugby League is sh*te nowadays with nothing to play for.

Unfortunately not everyone felt like you, and if they feel threatened it is real to them, they dont feel threatened and intimidated for no reason at all.

I too chose to park where I normally park and walk into the ground, to be honest on the way in it was quite friendly, but on the way out there were plenty stood by the fence where the fax fans were walking to the car park, shouting the W@nky song, and "going down". Okay just childish banter, but there non the less.

I have always liked the passion shown at Featherston, and I too have been to every game there since we were in the same division, but I have noticed it get more and more vociferous and nasty over the last couple of games.

A shame you wasnt satisifed with todays effort either was hoping there would be a positive thread or some positive words regarding the car parking and leaving/entering/general operation of today

I guess there is going to be no satisfying some folk - we made an effort today and it looked to have run smoothly, but generally this thread appears to have been ruined by all those who stayed at home who werent actually there today and have done nothing but inflame the situation and blow it out of proportion because someone made a complaint about a few words from a few fans and come out with the usual rubbish that has been said for weeks

I feel sorry for those that didnt go, i saw a bit of effort from your guys today and things will surely improve, i thought it was a good clean game of RL that couldve gone either way, hope those that went enjoyed the whole day

Didnt see any trouble to be honest. I do find them playing the Rugby League is a family sport thing quite ironic after you can hear the chants that have been mentioned but i guess its the safety in numbers thing. The attendance spoke volumes for the relationship between the 2 clubs and i expect it to be worse for the semi final as even some of the die hards may choose to watch the game at home. The parking thing was a farce and i thought that although it was done with the best intentions its was ill thought out and badly planned.

I feel sorry for the Fev fans who are just interested in the rugby that have to get tarred with the same brush but thats just how things like this go i guess.

To be honest with the crap that is posted on here by fax fans regarding fev fans ALL the time since the GF incident is there any wonder some of our fans get heated?

Just because we dont use this board as our main forum doesnt mean we cant see what you are writing

I thought the parking thing although it was a good idea with the best intentions was actually badly planned and could have caused problems. We went to the car park and were asked if we were Fax fans we were then told that we had to drive about 1/2 around the ground to the far side to park. Obviously this when this car park is full its a nightmare to get out of so we asked if we could just park with the rest of the cars at the nearest bit of the car park. We were told we couldnt and although we protested that we had no items that would suggest we were Fax fans were still told we had to go around. If theres a big crowd obviously segregated parking and entry and exit obviously can create a sitting duck type scenario that has happened in football over the years. We left 5 minutes before the end to allow a quick exit out of the ground so im not sure how it was for the people who left at the very end.

Good idea that im not sure was well thought out especially seen as though its a non segregation ground as well.

Right, lets tell it how it is. Last year you ran out of chips this year you ran out of pies. Forgoodness sake there was only thirteen hundred there. Surely if you over ordered you could put the surplus in a freezer.

Unless I get a personal guarantee that there will be suficient pies and chips I will not attend the NRC game.

Footnote for Featherstone residents.

A Freezer is a big white cold thing filled with chips and pies.






Personally I saw no trouble, It is however stupid that we are directed to a segregated car park and ORDERED to leave by a segregated exit.

My question is, will this happen at all games?

If the answer is no, then you need to ask yourself why just Halifax.

If the answer is yes, then your club needs to look at itself and so does the RFL.

Try writing with correct spelling and English grammar included in your post !

Oh I understand you now. You are one of those who watch Jeremy Kyle... Sort of sums you up then...









By the way, that was just humour...

Isn't it time someone decided to close this thread. It's too daft to laugh at.

I didnt expect it to last this long, but the danger in closing it is that the other thread will just deteroriate into the same, at least this keeps it in one place.

Totally agree with you, im getting fed up of reading this crap now but at least it will help keep other topics ON topic

I know you won't believe this, but it's true. I and 3 others in the car witnessed it. Leaving the car park we saw 2 Featherstone "ladies" squaring up to each other, arguing over the bad behaviour of the 2 children of one of the "ladies"

cant believe some of the moaning on here. The most intimidating behaviour i saw throughout the whole day was in the first half when a fev fan was jeered and laughed at by the fax croud in the terracing, to the amusmant of his friends, just harmless banter. Of the many fev fans i walked past i was greeted with a nod or smile, with the exception of some very intimidating 11 year old boys, who were quickly brought into order by an older fan. I could just be seeing things though.

i agreed with the enforcer

11 year old boys? intimidating? blimey?

No problems for me, other than having to talk to a thick idiot in a luminous jacket who seemed to think i HAD to use the far turnstile, and a few old codgers (probably about 40 but its a hard life in fev) walking past asking who had the matches (I replied, you stopped digging coal so there's nowt left to burn).

Wasn't a bad trip, had plenty worse, and unless we make the playoffs which is looking unlikely I wont be going there again for a year or so

you not going to the semi-final then???
