To be fair, Hetherington was never part of the Mcmanus rebellion.

Refrained from posting until now. This hurts, really hurts. That was our big chance and we blew it, again. I find myself wondering what the problem is and conclude that there is something rotten at Fev. Our recruitment has been appalling and the revolving door for coaches is a serious concern. Big culture change required and that needs to start at the top.

I think we'd all like an answer to that one.

Something needs doing. With Skolars departing, league 1 is even less viable than it was. A merged competition with an east/west split and a play off series to determine the overall champion (and promoted club) isn’t the worst thing that could happen.

I've got flights booked. Sadly, my wife lost her battle with cancer last weekend and I don't think I'll be in the mood to travel, but I'll decide on thursday night. Not been since 2019 and it'll be a shame to miss it.

Liquorice.

Only 1/2 an hour walk from Pub O'clock. Or an hour's stumble after a few Cherry Choufes.

This We probably shouldn't get too excited for an instant result. It's likely that we'll only begin to reap the benefits towards the end of this 3 year period. Lots of work still to do.

Yorkshire is in decline and has been for years. Fev haven’t been in the top flight for nearly 30 years. Coincidence?

Powell won't be coming to Fev, think bridges were well and truly burned last time. We've appointed James Ford as head coach until the end of the season. Most of us predicted Long would soon be for the chop when Ford was announced as DoR.

Pretty sure that mutual agreement means fired, but contract paid up.

Correct

Yep. All Harry’s fault. Bloody Leythers, always cocking it up for Rovers.

Neither do I, my favourite away day. Just fancied Leeds, Wigan, Perpignan for a change.

Doubt it. Don't think DP left on the best of terms.

I’m working on the basis that I’ll be visiting Halifax, Bradford, Batley again next season. We’ve cocked it up again

Certainly explains the dross we served up yesterday. It's been rumoured for weeks that he was on his way out.

Will we ever hang on to a coach for more than a season?

Another season, another sacked Fev coach. I really do despair. There's no way we're going up now, another wasted year.

Make him famous if you've any pictures. Disgusting behaviour. Sorry you has to see that. Sadly the games against the bigger clubs do attract the numpties. Make sure you send the pics to Martin Vickers at Rovers too.

4 hours of my life and £22 I’ll never get back. Absolutely abysmal team selection and an even worse performance. What did Joey do? Didn’t see anything in it myself.

Absolutely abysmal performance from Fev. Created nothing. We picked a 18 year old kid and a full back in the halves. Knew we’d lose as soon as I saw the team sheet. No way we’re getting promoted with selections and performances like that.

Bit rough on Last, speaking as a Fev fan I thought he was a great coach for Cas. At least as good as Radford.

Let's hope they're knackered after last weekend. The only team other than Toulouse that really worry me. Hopefully we'll sneak a late win. Is Ainsough still playing?

That Brewdog Elvis Juice must be stronger than I thought.
