Fair play to fev today. Would be nice if fev could have provided enough seating for all fax fans today. Know of several that couldn't sit in the allocated fax area. Not too impressed either with the antics of the goading ball boys, but hey ho, we still top of the league and proud of it!

Good day today for championship rugby but I thought it would of been alot closer The turn out was great from both sets of supporters but I have to laugh when people singing we are top of the league Funny when your teams not at the top the league doesn't matter but when they are it's great Anyway we will be crossing paths again this season I would think more than once so you will probably even it up As we all no one game doesn't make a season

It's just something supporters do when they are top of the league, it's called fun.
I promised To myself that I wouldn't mention this, but your comment has made me change my mind.
We payed £17 to sit in our "segregated" stand, there was no room so we were ushered to behind the posts.
We were a group of 10 adults and 7 children, as we walked in front of the Fev part of the Stand we were greeted with "wanky etc etc with the hand signs, nothing wrong with that you say, well actually there was, the only reason Fev fans would have known we were from Halifax was that all 7 children had Fax shirts on, none of us adults had.
Don't think "we are top of the league" compares.
Right that of my chest, well done Fev, won the forward battle, won the backs battle, no sour grapes, as I was leaving one of our fans said, " it was the fault of the ref and the touch judges"
Bol"ocks, we were out played.
Simple as that.
Good luck to Fev most of us wish you the best of luck, we just wish you could find a new song.

We got one but you took it off us

Re: Fev v Fax final score : Sun Apr 28, 2013 7:20 pm  

Have to agree with above regarding the seating

Earlier in the week i said what you have been allocated would have been enough, turns out it was well short

Think the next block along needed to halved and that would have been enough

Think i called the car parking arrangement - looked chaos before and after the game, the buses didnt help blocking the streets off, suprised they didnt drop and pick supporters up from the main road but we all know why that didnt happen

Should be back to normal next season

Not for long I fear,

Well played.

The way Fax have been going this season could go up to the last game Hope we can carry on from here And improve Just need to win game in hand to keep close to you

If you win the game in hand I think Rovers go top on points diff, but when that happens being top won't mean anything again.

If the response is right todays result could be a good reminder of what level of play is needed against the better sides.

So Fax beat Sheffield, Sheffield beat Fev, now Fev beat Fax!

Cracking league at the top section.

Re: Fev v Fax final score : Sun Apr 28, 2013 9:07 pm  

Part quote. Have to agree with above regarding the seating.

I sat with the Fev lads who i know today and apart from
The result.
Every Fax pass being forward.
Every Fax tackle being high.
Fax being offside at every play the ball.
Half the Fax team should have been sin binned.
The ref being a bent Fax Cheating individual with dubious parentage until Rovers went in front it was a very enjoyable experience.

The top stand will sort out the seating problem and I can go back and sit on my own.

Yer we were outplayed 2nd half but that ginger git did give them a lot of good field position pinging us for offside on our own line twice, how many refs bother with that one usually???
We tired from all that defending, some from our own stupidity lie Sams offload that was knocked on, stupid why try force the ball in front of your own posts?
My biggest concern is the same old argument can our half backs create something in tight games? Not enough imo, yet Finn seems to still get his quota of assists and a try in these type of games, why do we stand off him we should put somebody on him to smash him, he is not one for the rough stuff keep at him put one of the big guys to run over him. Worked in the NRC Final, take him out you take a big chunk of Fevs attack away, 50% goes through Finn.
