What a great gesture from all at Fev.
Thanks

Well as a Fax fan who have a home match this weekend I would not be able to attend but why not put a call out to other rugby clubs who may not have a match Sunday see if Featherstone would allow them to use the same turnstile.It`s worth asking.

That's a fantastic gesture from one famous old club to another. I hope all goes well for Donny.

Bang on - update on this!!

I'm now led to believe that Featherstone Rovers have now extended the offer for Sunday. Porceeds from the gate receipts from season ticket holders from any other club (not just Donny Supporters) using the turnstile identified for Donny fans, will been shared between our two clubs!!

Fantastic!

Brilliant gesture from Fev

Well done Fev!!

Thanks Fev that is very kind of you,,, we'll be there..

Please can someone update the Halifax message board people are wanting to know what time the legends match is before we play you.
Also why don`t you post the info about the season ticket offer at Fev on all the other boards I know Cas play Fri evening some of them might come also there may be other teams that are not playing Sunday.

A great gesture, and the first line of the first post in this thread says it all for me.

If we didn't have a match this Sunday at Fax I would be there myself.....although I would have to wear an Eagles shirt so you lot probably wouldn't want me there anyway



I sincerely hope things aren't as bad as they currently appear. There is a lot of support for your club out there ..... I supect that also includes a few Seagulls' fans



Good luck!

And then again why don't you............?

Well he could do but as a Halifax supporter I would think the call for the rugby community to attend would be more apropriate coming from a Donny supporter .When my own club was in trouble 2 /3 yrs ago I did just that ,thankfully many supporters turned up from other clubs and we have been very gratful.If we were not playing at home Sunday I would be there myself ,instead we are trying to see if a group of us can get down in July .
As long as that is ok with you of course.

Well yes I don`t mind but it`s better it`s from the Dons.

Fantastic offer from Fev, have posted this thread on my teams board (Cas) to try to get some interest.

Thanks - appreciated.

A cracking offer from our friends at Fev, on pitch rivaly is put to oneside at times like this, its one of the great things about the game of RL.

Saw this on my teams board (cas). Think it is a great thing for Fev to do, and as we are playing on Friday I will be there on Sunday to support it.

Maybe it's worth switching one of your home matches to a Saturday so more people can come down?

The latest press release is :-

Rovers Support the “Rugby League Family”

Featherstone Rovers have released details of a ticketing initiative to be implemented at this Sunday's home game with Doncaster Dons that they hope will raise some much needed funds for their South Yorkshire neighbours, who themselves are taking drastic action to ensure the financial future of the club. Featherstone are inviting Season Ticket holders from any other Rugby League club to attend Sunday's game at The Chris Moyles stadium between the two clubs and upon payment of the standard £14 entry and presentation of their own season ticket at a dedicated turnstile, Rovers will donate 50% of the entry fee back to the Doncaster club.

Andy Prout – Rovers Chief Executive stated:-

"It is a very challenging economic and financial time for all clubs, but it is particularly sad that having achieved promotion from division two last year, Doncaster are now facing tough times both on and off the field, and it is times like this that the Rugby League community must pull together for the long term sustainability of the game.

Whilst only a small gesture we at Featherstone Rovers are pleased to be able to make this offer available and hope to be able to provide some form of financial assistance on the back of people watching rugby league at this level, so we are asking all season ticket holders and “true” Rugby League fans show their support for Doncaster in this difficult time. "

Dons’ chief executive Dave Marshall added: “On behalf of the Dons I’d like to thank Featherstone Rovers for this tremendous gesture. “It just goes to show what a close knit community rugby league is and I cannot thank Andy enough for his generousity.” www.doncasterrlfc.com/article.php?id=75

Check out the reactions on the Batley board before getting too dewy-eyed about the RL community.

I don't understand what you mean.

I don't think there is anything wrong with any of that Batley stuff.....fair comment I would say.

Some of the anti Fev comments were uncalled for. Sad for you loyal fans but the bottom line is you need more bums on seats. Hope you pull through and become a force in the game.

Thank you everyone for your concern. Some home truths on the Batley board and some unnecessary gall aimed at Fev.

A great gesture from Fev. You can't blame those in charge now for past misdemeanours on the financial side. On the playing side, however.........hmmm
