We reported it to the stewards. The result was totally irrelevant as I am not talking about the actual game. I am not talking about being intimidated by "a group of women". The way it works is that a woman in a group of men makes an insulting comment hoping to get a reaction, at which point her menfolk have an excuse to leap to her defense (often violently).



Sitting in the stand you are isolated from this as you can only judge by the people in the immediate vicinity. When you stand on the terracing and change ends at half-time you come into contact with far more people. Case in point, there were a group of 3 Fev fans stood in front of us, even though their team were playing the other way. They made comments thoughout the game waiting for a reaction and even changed ends at half-time. These people may be a "minority" but at Featherstone they are an extremely significant minority.



As Chris Dalton said previously, similar reports have come from a number of clubs now so there is definitely a problem. If you choose to ignore it then so be it.

If we had another ar$ehole maybe we'd get rid of the e this season.

Spanishbob, Fev fans have been a bunch of animals for as long as I can remember. They were a disgrace when they came to our place this season. The older ones amongst us will also remember their obscene chanting through a minutes silence at Thrum Hall following the Sowerby Bridge incident. And I also remember how they reacted when Dave Watson was decapitated by Andy Fisher. Fev fans are only second to Hull in the "RL Thug fans league of shame".

Whether there is an issue or not an attendance of 1337 tells you everything you need to know. People will/have stopped going to fev.

Don't be absurd. Making comments aimed at getting a reaction is not a crime. It only becomes one after the reaction has become violent. I would prefer not to stick around for this. What I am saying is we were made to feel extremely uneasy throughout the game which is a feeling I have never had before and do not intend to experience again.

So did anyone take offence and wade in and smack you then or is this all hypothesis. have you been to many rugby matches before? cos wise cracks and wind ups is often on the menu from other supporters.



Why did you not insist action was taken? Why not mover a few feet a way from the trouble some 3? why come on here spouting off about a non event? You had the power in your hands to change behaviour, you could have sort out a director, found one of the police officers at the game, asked another steward.... but instead you come on here.

Exactly no crime committed, that's my point your scraping the barrel, Just move if you don't like the comments, its like when your on a double decker bus with a nutter, you move downstairs problem solved?



Ps I did notice one Halifax nutter, carrying on all afternoon swearing and making necessary comments and generally acting a prat and making a nuisance of himself........ Penky

Spot on.

And you lost ...... not a good day all round eh ?

Apart from the moaners and crap stirrers

Trouble is, when "other club supporters" is pretty much everyone who visits your place it is your club who is missing out because you are gaining a reputation as the worst club to visit in the whole league and it's turning loads of people away.



It's not me who needs a plan, it is Featherstone, and if you ignore the complaints or, as happens every time some bad behaviour is reported, come on here and whinge about those complaining, your own club suffers more than anyone. Worst away experience in the league, and that's very unfortunate.

You miss my point. I have been following Halifax for 20+ years now. I have been to every single ground that there is and when I go to the away ground I ALWAYS sit with the relevant home supporters. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that the nasty chanting by Featherstone fans are, without exception, the worst I have been close to, and that is even worse than the Hull fans at the Boulevard (which took some beating).



I am a grown up and I know that it goes on, but even the screeching banshee that was sat in front of me was joining in with the W@nky and the B@stard chants and SHE had a couple of 10 - 11 year old girls with her (great example).



One woman behind me, following a high tackle from us, screeched I hope you fckuing go down you bunch of morons, and she had children with her (another great example).



That said, I'll no doubt be back there for our Norther Rail Cup semi-final.....
