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 shitehole 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.
