What a wonderful gesture made by the Dewsbury club. Offering free admission to any Fev fan with a Fev top on for their Home game with Goole in February 

Brilliant, be nice if a few went.

......what and spend a shed load on booze.  Who is this benefiting exactly ? 

Dewsbury being kind and giving us a fix of the game we love so much 😏......or cashing in on our misfortune ?  Depends on how cynical you are.

Dewsbury is the nearest ground to my house but I wouldn't go if they paid me.

Nearest ground to my grandson's house and I intend to take him. Last year was his first as a serious Rovers supporter and he wants to wear the shirt at as many grounds as we can get to. We went to watch Tommy Lacans at Batley versus Toulouse last year and he loved it. It's important to keep the kids going because they are the future.

At the end of the day it's entirely how Fev fans feel,and up to them where they choose to go and watch RL if at at all,NO body else. We shall be watching the Lions and the Ladies,but if we fancy going elsewhere we will ( after saying we wouldn't).

Fans can go to watch Dewsbury, dosnt mean you  have to spend a penny,never mind a shed load on booze. Imho i think it's good of Dewsbury offering this to Fev fans. Apart from Whitehaven as any other team offered us owt? Not that they've got to.

I think there's quite a lot of support from other teams. Salford fan group sharing ideas of how they resurrected their club. Hunslet giving season ticket funds back to the Rovers. When York hit bad times, they played at POR, donny and other grounds- would love them to reciprocate the gesture in some way. Quiet from close neighbours though I think? Wakey, Leeds and C@s ...

Nor me, think I'll probably get to a few Lions games this season, be good to see some of our 'old' lads in action.

Anyone thinking of going to see other teams should bear in mind that's exactly what the RFL wants, for our fans to end up regularly watching other teams and/or drift away from the game.

Any governing body that's happy to make the utterly shameful decision they did re our participation this year clearly has no interest in us surviving as a club (or the impact this could have on the town/area), which is hardly a surprise given the way they've approached us for the past 30 years.

How will the RL know how many Rovers fans go to watch other teams? Will the home club have to 'report' any that are there? Lions and Ladies and probably the odd game at other clubs,till Rovers are back,or whatever we will be called. I honestly don't think the RL wants us watching other teams, i should imagine they don't care.

They'll be counted but added to the London attendance figures

'Offers' like this will lessen the impact of our absence from the league and impact on the game on the whole. 

For me the only good thing to come from us being thrown out of the league was the adverse effect it would have on the game - to make the RFL realise they can't afford to lose the Featherstone Rovers' of this sport and certainly not to give them more ammunition to get rid of the irritating pain in the a**e that we are to them.

As Morrissey said..You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

You will be sadly missed.

Does anyone miss Morrissey, by the way?

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.
