The Lad Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It was a great game on Sunday real big hits, line brakes and good carries by both teams a good arm wrestle and a good game to watch. Unfortunately watching the game was not so enjoyable as the Crowd where less that friendly and not as expected. Every tackle we made was high, every pass was forward and every defensive line was offside, Hull KR and Bradford Bulls don’t beg so much, from start to finish there where a large group of fev fans who continually begged and begged, and when you did score you would then shout at the ref and call him very unsightly names most of which was out of the mouths of people over 45. And then there where the names that were called to us, names like t***s are not in the spirit of rugby especially where there are kids present and may need to be address by the fev faithful. A man over the age of 60 flipping fans off when fev scored, terrible. Previously we have always had a good atmosphere at fev or our place but this one seemed different, could it be that you thought you would be playing Widnes not us or was it that it was 33-24 not 100-0?. Featherstone Rovers is a great club and it was embarrassing to see members degrade themselves and the club in such a manner, I hope if Swinton or barrow two similarly smaller clubs like ours make a game of it they won’t be subject to the rude and childish behaviour of a lot of the fans.

sentoffagain2 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Some so called supporters think we only have to turn up against lower sides to get two points.You only need two or three players to be off form and make mistakes then the result is not a forgone conclision.

Disgusted to read this. I was there but not with the people referred to. We sat with some Rochdale fans (including a very elderly former player) and had a very pleasant time with them even though the match was dire.

I hope it is only a small number but there where a good number of fev fans being very disrespectful at everything that isn’t Featherstone rovers, the problem is that no one in the fev pack said anything if that was a Hornet fan I would have told them that they are embarrassing themselves and I know dozens of hornets fans who would. Great preview on the game btw a really in-depth look at us mate it must take a lot of time to look up all of that stuff about squads and history of games between our two teams.

jamescolin Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Looking at the gate perhaps there is something not quite right about the attitude of your supporters. We have already said that the majority of us do not subscribe to that sort of conduct. We cannot answer for a few hot heads. If we followed your recommendation then perhaps you would have had a fight at your ground making the circumstances enough worse. At Fev we have loud speakers telling people to watch themselves and their attitude. Perhaps you could set up somet5hing similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you even at the game?, that’s why it happened you expected to be in the qualifiers and beat us 80-4 last time out so when a team who is lower in the table puts up a fight in a league you don’t want to be in and part of the crowd turned, abusive to the ref us and everything not rovers related. Sad really as fev would have been the last team I would have suspected. You have two options take the report at face value and like others have on here said if it’s true it’s horrible and where embarrassed it happened or pretend it didn’t and carry on believing that a great club like fev is all moral and the fans are gods gift to rugby. 5 hours ago, gingdong said: be that group that arnt regulars and only go to big games, ow wait a min Takes one to know one.

Takes one to know one. stop press a rugby crowd gets abusive to the ref. my advice to you is next time go and tell a steward instead of bleating on a fans forum 3 days later to fans who can do nothing about it. makes you look like another sore loser.

Weve had brawls from Hull KR fans at home leading to a rediculous high fine for us to pay as an inocent party and bad intimidation at home by Leigh fans but we get on with it.I am sure this is only hand bags at dawn .Just get on with it and stop embarrassing yourself.

And the sheep come out, the reason you lot where ###### is because you are in a league you didn't want and nearly lost to a team you beat 80-4 last time out and the fans got annoyed, if you got on with vile language going on with kids there thats your life but it shows a total disregard for the credibility of the sport.

The Lad - I have seen that behaviour from our fans and there is no excuse however it does go on at almost every club and once again there is no excuse, it isn't the way to promote the game to kids and families.
