As Fax fans who live in Wakey and work less than 5 miles from P O Road we have often gone to Fev games when Fax have not had game on sunday.We have done so openly wearing Fax shirts,have enjoyed banter with many fans and sat with ex work colleagues and their family without any problems.Not this season as we have not felt it would be a good idea meaning Fev miss out on cash from supporters who just want a couple of beers and some banter and to watch a game of rugby.Till this gets sorted we wont be going to a Fev game again-their lose not ours

What upsets me is unfortunatly our club will be tarred with the same brush because some fans will be in trouble, all clubs would be better off just staying away like I wish our club had. Don`t return till they get their house in order `cos who they going to fight with if clubs stay away ? each other and good luck to them.

You know out of all the people that post on here you annoy me the most, Just after the grand final the then Rovers director Martin Overton posted on here about getting some kind of fans charter for the next time we played to try and nip in the bud any bad feeling, he did it with the best of intentions, he got slated for it and one of the worst was YOU. The bloke was genuinely trying his best and thats what this thread is about but again gets turned into a slagging match, so why dont we keep to the title and try and think of a way forward.

What about a fans tag match before the next game, or even all forum posters meet in a pub for a drink and a chat before the next game, there must be some people with good ideas out there, lets talk about them

In fact i would even organise our tag team and play myself and charge all the players and give the money to Dave Singers upkeep

Agreed! That would be a start for both sets of fans. I hate the idea of not being able to watch my rugby and i know hundreds of people are likely to feel the same. Either way we have to move forward and i feel that positive dialogue between both sets of fans is very important right now. I, like many Fax fans have felt bitter and angry regarding the issues covered since Warrington and im sure that genuine Fev fans feel the same. We all know that both sets of fans have a few fools and its up to us right now to weed them out and build the bridges again.

Things must change m8 starting now, a start would be stop bickering on here

m8 I'm not your problem... so wind your neck in.

I feel sorry for you mate, honest, must be hard trying to keep sticking up for your own club when you have these idiots about.

Hopefully they will go away but probably not when we are in town, thats why I think it best we just don't go for a couple of years until it hopefully blows over.

Thats true on Look North what do we get first mentioned?

Fighting at the game inside and outside the ground, then it went on to say it was a great game and Fax won and are off to Blackpool.

Sad, as you say we are tarred now as well.



One thing that sticks in my throat is the lack of respect to Dave Singer, come on Fev fans if this was the other way around I would slam our fans for yet again having a go at opposing fans. That was why i was annoyed some of our lot reacted and fought back but if you get hit it is not easy to stay calm is it, honestly?

Featherstone statement: We have some mobile phone footage which we are reviewing to identify individuals, we also have a number of names of the people who started the trouble. These people are not true supporters of Featherstone Rovers and will therefore be banned.



Halifax statement: Those who instigated and participated in threatening, abusive and violent behaviour when the match was over should not have done so, regardless of the provocation.



Says it all....

Lets use the subject has a way forward. What do we do next about Fev v Fax games? If your response is don't go then what do we as a club need to do before you go again? What can we do to make amends? How can we bring our 2 great clubs together?



Apart from identifying the thugs which both clubs are working on where can we start to build bridges? A tag charity match has been mentioned, which sounds like a good idea (but we are not playing golden point extra time if it is a draw

)



There are plenty of threads on here to have a tit fot tat blame game, lets use this one as a way forward.

A tag match has already been discussed prior to the game on Thursday and it WILL take place at somepoint.
