tremendous gesture : Tue May 12, 2009 4:50 pm  

It seems that at the Featherstone match against Donny this weekend there is a special turnstile for Donny season ticket fans to use. They intend to give half the money taken through that turnstile back to donny.I think this is a magnificent gesture and hopefully will encourage more Donny fans to turn up knowing half of their money will go back to their own club.

Great Gesture, I think there may be some serious problems at Donny, Players leaving, Public Meeting with the chairman next tuesday ect. Lets get down there in Numbers next week and put some money into their coffers.

Would also be a nice gesture if they let season ticket holders at any other clubs who attend the game (there won't be many/any) go through this gate and that many go to Donny.

Well done Fev.

Feel sorry for Donny and a couple of seasons ago when we were in a mess they supported our club.Just been on there message board asking them to maybe try to get Featherstone to widen the turnstile for any other season ticket holders from other clubs who would probably have not come to the game anyway.Would not be any good for us as we are at home but Cas for instance I do believe play Fri night .I am sure if a call went out some would attend from other clubs like they did for us.They would of course have to ask permission from Fev.

i'd let anyone through the gate, and make it clear which gate it is, so the Fev Die Hards who want the money to go to their club can still have their way, but those who want to help donny can.

Did they not get a penny for a appearing in that cup final? A lot of fans to our aid when we needed it and now look at us. We should do the same.

Think they get a share of the gate receipts, albeit from a hardly outstanding crowd at reduced prices, but only the winners receive any serious prize money.

Was thinking that myself, I may take a look and if they are at home when we play over in France go down and watch them play. There were a few Donny supporters came for our match when we asked for help would be nice to pay some back.
