Nice to be able to cheer for Rovers against a SL side for a change.

[Old Frightful]

 I'll be delighted by a 30 point loss and 80 grand or so in the bank

Wouldn't mind a bit of that myself.

 

Are Fev fans sponsored these days then?

[RabbitRhinoovOZ]

Since I support both these clubs I'll go a 18 all draw.

We have achieved what we set out to achieve so these matches are just awesome bonuses. No one givespecially fev a chance so the lads can just gone out there and enjoy it.

[Kris]

I hadn't considered that the 8's were as much a financial boost as anything else but I see the match is worth £80k to Fev according to the poster above - that's serious cash at Championship level - so about £250k plus finish place money if a home game is worth 80 - that's not bad going is it really well worth it for a community based club like Fev - well done

[Southern Reiver]

Can't see Fev winning this one but I think they will give more than a good account of themselves. Maybe 18 points behind at the end.

[Konkrete]

Leeds could be in for a bit of a shock here. Fev are a damn good side at the moment.

[Robin Evans]

Nah..... fev aren't anywhere near leeds.

But as alluded to...this is bonus time.

We have the current champions (and their support) down at our gaffe for the afternoon. The place will probably achieve its highest summer era crowd and give the club a massive opportunity to cash in on secondary income. These 3 games are a fabulous opportunity for the club.

The irony is the fev finishing 4th probably have greater income generating opportunities from their 3 home games - leeds kr and leigh that batley have frim finishing 3rd

[Adelaide Tiger]

As a Cas fan it feels weird cheering for the Peaky Cappers to win.

This is the tragedy of our being away from the top flight for so long. You should be wanting Leeds to humiliate us!

[stevereed100]

Forward!

[Futtocks]

Fev 0:10 Leeds after 20 minutes. The test will be the Rovers' fitness towards the end of each half.

[Futtocks]

Try for Fev! Anthony Thackeray started it and finished it, and it has been converted.

 

6:10

[BBR]

Enjoyable game. Fev still in it but fear they will tire

[Futtocks]

According to the commentators, the idiot with the firework forgot to let go of it after lighting the fuse. Good.

[Futtocks]

6:18 at half time.

 

Featherstone have shown some good passages of play, but this looks like a comfortable Leeds win in the end.
