Off topic, where is your match against Fev being played next Sunday?

Officialy Post Office Rd under we're told otherwise.

Have you heard a rumour about it being moved to Wakefield because of the pitch? It's doing the rounds on Facebook.

It could well be as they have been having trouble with their pitch, they played their game against Hunslet at our place. I can't get to Widnes for the kick off and fancied watching the best 2 in the championship on Sunday


Nobody seems to use the Fev board so I thought I'd ask on here, I'll be cheering for you btw

Wonder if there something in this. I have just been on the Bulls Website to see how much it is to sit at Featherstone, and it doesn't list any seating ticket prices at all.

Unless there's an unexpected and extraordinary turn of events the game is scheduled to be held at the Bigfellas Stadium (or Post Office Road for those of us of an older vintage). Ticket prices are all £18 (£12 OAPs/students, £5 under 16s I think). The Fev board on RLFans is virtually unused but you do get quite a lot of posts on the TotalRL board which can be found at this address: www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php ... ne-rovers/ (though the busiest site is the Featherstone Rovers Facebook fans' page).

I'm expecting a very close game. I'll say us by 4.

Bulls website states that the game will be played at the Big Fellas Stadium. www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/pos ... vers-clash

Am I the only person with a dark sense of foreboding about this match?

Where are the bulls fans going to be locates? Are we in the new stand?

Don't think there have been any statements about possible segregation (we've only done that on the odd occasion recently) but worth noting the bigger new stand at the railway end isn't ready yet and it's only the smaller of the two new stands (the 30m one) that's in the far left corner as you enter the ground that may be open.

Tickets don't specify a stand.

Can someone who has been to the ground recently (I last went in about 1980) give us a run down on which parts of the ground are seated /standing, and where is a decent place to stand? Also where to away fans usually congregate?

When we played them in the cup (Was that about 10 years ago now? Doesn't feel it), away fans tended to stand behind the sticks, just to the right as you enter the ground, on terracing.

I was back at Fev a couple of seasons back for a non Bulls game, and that terracing still looked like the natural "away end"

Ok...main stand (near main entrance) is seated and pretty much as you will remember it (though I can't remember when it was rebuilt, but basically where it has always been.

Small section of terracing to right of main stand and then all the way behind the posts at the Post Office Road end (where the houses are) and another small section of terracing, again all largely as you will remember it.

Large Family Stand (all seated) directly opposite the main stand; when we have had segregation away fans have generally been in the right hand side (as you face the pitch) of this stand).

Then from the Family Stand to the dead ball line at the old Railway End is the smaller (30m) of the two new stands (all seated), which it's hoped will be open for the game.

Then at right angles to that smaller stand is the larger of the two new stands (70m, again all seated) which runs parallel to the dead ball line at the Railway end, this isn't quite ready for use yet, though it's looking good.

Finally in the top left hand corner as you enter the ground from the main entrance, between the new 70m stand and the main stand, is the clubhouse with bar, hospitality etc.

Assuming there's no segregation, it's pretty much sit/stand where you want.

Gennerally most away fans usually stand on the terracing to the right of the main stand or sit in the right hand side of the family stand. I think now the new 30m stand has been built further to the right of the family stand its very likely any bulls fans wanting to sit will be directed towards that stand.

But bascally once your in you can go were you want and I doubt anyone would bother you.


The club house is also open to both sets of fans, before, during and after then game. Anyone wanting a drink prior to the game in any nearby pubs wont get any bother either.

Hope your bring a few should be a good crowd and hopefully a good game

When I got my tickets from the club yesterday, they had numbers on them. 40 something (I forget exact number now). So it already looks like we're taking more than a standard Huddersfield away following.

Surely we will be taking 3000. Will everyone get in? Anyone mention the farce getting in at Leigh? Went to ticket office at 1-30 and was told we could pay in at tunstile 5. Queued for 10 mins and whem we got to the front was told we needed a ticket. Got sent round corner and queued another 20 mins before we got in side stand, and missed first 15 mins of match.

If I'm going to an away game I prefer to get my ticket in advance as it helps avoid the hassles that many had at Leigh. Plus, given the size of some Championship grounds, it's more sensible to know you've got a ticket than risk missing out. And the Bulls get a cut if you buy it from them so everyone wins

That Social club / big bar thingy must get used for every christening, 21st birthday and retirement do in the village.

When you think how long it took us to get any facility to generate income at Odsal, it's ridiculous.

Not sure what capacity of the ground is with the railway end closed as it currently is. Any idea how many tickets you have been given to sell in advance?

All that is set to change. Cameron has tried to bribe them with the promise of electricity should the Tory scum win the next election.

Did your pigeon win this morning

I wouldn't trust him - it may be connected to the furniture..

Furniture will be the bribe in 5 years time.

ahah cant believe this from a Cas fan lol. Cas is stuck in a time warp. People walking round town in shell suits, amercan flat top hair cuts with tram lines or rats tails. Kids playing bare foot in the streets, blokes still racing pigeons. Strata just built a new estate in castleford and had to put a pigeon loft in the back gardens. Not to mention everyone in Cas looks the same.

Anyway this is supposed to be a Bradford page discussing the match between Fev and Bradford. Why are Cas fans so obsessed with trying to put down their more affluent neighbours at every opportunity.
