2700 not a bad turn out, if you had brought any kind of decent amount we would of had 3k
Anyway it is not us bragging about support it is your whatever he is, saying it is the envy of the league, IT IS NOT.

Wouldnt say we only brought 250... if thats correct, then your fans must be really fickle as your crowds have been:

Fev v Donny 1577
Fev v Fax 2673
Fev v Eagles 1612
Fev v Haven 1555

This would tend to say that Fax did in fact bring far more than you suggest.

No way have a look at the sky broardcast, couple of hundred behind the sticks, fev had a big promotion on that night and that was why the crowd was bigger

He clearly missed addition lessons at school if he could only count to 250. There was way more then that there from Halifax.

At least with all these fans bashing us it means we're at the top. Usual case, knock the team that are doing well to make your own ego feel good.

I see you've learnt something from iestyn harris, how to moan like a baby.

What was the promotion, come and watch a decent side because Halifax are coming to play??


All you're really doing is trying to detract that Halifax are doing something to help out Doncaster, just like your club did. However our game is away so the club have generously put on coaches to get the supporters there.

Grow up and see the bigger picture. Without clubs like doncaster that are struggling, we won't havea league to play in if they start failing.

Yes I agree stop moaning Donny helped us out ,you`ve helped Donny out and so are we.That is what being in "the family" of rugby league is all about.The helping out of other clubs has nothing to do with what goes on ,on the pitch.Just because the Fax club and fans want to help Donny we will still expect our team to beat them and you.

From the Fev Daily Echo the week before the game:

This week there is a chance to see real entertainment when the Rugby League Entertainers come to the village to show their exciting, entertaining, energetic style of Rugby League and will be accompanied by the Wakefield District Council Bin Men Ensemble.

Featherstone Rovers will also be appearing.

You are allowed to count the 800 free tickets that all clubs get for Sky games whether they turn up or not.
Look I was there and Fax had around 20% of the crowd that night so thats a lot more than 250.
At 5 minutes to ko the crowd was small apart from the Fax fans then you all turned up but not as many as you think maybe???
At the end of the day clubs can say what crowd they like they only pay VAT on paying speccies and I bet you there were not 2600 who paid that night!
