Hi as a committee member of the Featherstone WMC on Green Lane and a Fev fan, I would like to say that any Cas fans wanting a pre match beverage or two you are more than welcome in our club. Carling £2.60 pint, John Smiths £2.50 a pint,Worthington Bitter £2.00 pint, also, Black Sheep real ale £2.20 pint.

As I said you will be made welcome!!!!

Myself (a Fev fan) and my cas fan mates will be starting off early in the Glassblower, and heading to Fev shortly after.

Don't know if its first port of call or not in Fev, but we will be in the Green Lane club at some point. I may even allow them to buy me a pint or two if they are good!

[quote="Tigerade"]beer, pies, tea, programs, golden gamble - Not many Cas Fans will be buying these i'm afraid. If like myself they be-grudge spending/buying anything Fev related.

I've even stopped going to that lovely Indian Restaurant on PO Road. Petrol, Cigs, lottery money, its all stopped. I used to have my car MOT in Fev - not any more.

It all stopped after a altrication I had with a Fev lad. I realised how much most of them dispise Cas Tigers and everything we stand for. I love the rivalry and banter at RL matches as much as anyone - but there is something not quite right when Cas play Fev.
I won't be spending anything in Fev.[/quote]
Despite a lot of Cas hating, Fev fans still live and work with Cas fans and the banter is on the whole confined to the rugby side, it's not personal. I'm sure there are a large number of Fev fans who could take a similar stance against Castleford. There will always be individuals who take it too far but that is found in every walk of life. Come down and have a drink with the sensible lot and enjoy the game. it's a banker for you lot.

[quote="Big Man"]I take it we will be allowed in your clubhouse for a drink then seeing as though the Last Orders is for "Fev fans" only and the Lagoon is at the opposite end to the Railway end?[/quote]
I'd be suprised if you weren't allowed in there and nothing has come out of the club to say you're not. Come up and enjoy a few beers, after all Fev and Cas fans work and live with each other day to day and if we can't have a pint and a bit of banter before and after the game then it is a sad reflection on our society.

I also work with alot of Fev fans - all of them brilliant supporters. Unfortunately it is a sad reflection on our society when a small minority are hell bent on spoiling it for the majority and (like many Cas fans) a risk I am not prepared to take thanks.

We never had segregation at Fev/Cas matches before - why now ? What has changed ?

Re: Anyone seen the Fev score from this evening ??? : Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:56 pm  

Society I'm afraid.

The lunatics are trying to take over the asylum and its up to the majority, the decent fans to stand up and let them know 'Not In My Name'.

Just remind me which two sets of fans were fighting last weekend? You make it sound like any trouble will solely come from Fev fans. Given your own clubs recent history that is a bit rich.Or are you suggesting that Cas fans don't want to come because of the trouble of BOTH sets of fans as you haven't really made that clear

As for segregation it isn't really that. Fev fans usually change ends at half time, as far as I know Cas fans don't so it is to avoid any possible overcrowding, or confrontation the decision was made to allocate one side to Cas. I'm sure many Fev and Cas fans will be mingling before and after the game and it is as Sidnee says up to fans to stand up to the minority and not let them spoil it for the rest

Re: Anyone seen the Fev score from this evening ??? : Thu Apr 12, 2012 8:47 pm  

Well, I'm taking a friend who has never seen a game of League in her life.

I'll be going to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the game.

So in 2006, when PO Road was packed for Fev Vs Cas we didn't have to segregate the fans - we have been for this Saturday. My question remains unanswered - What has changed since then ? I'll give you a clue - The Halifax incedent maybe ?

Re: Anyone seen the Fev score from this evening ??? : Thu Apr 12, 2012 9:12 pm  

Or the cas incidents maybe?

Please don't try to take the morale high ground here, both clubs have had issues in the past and both clubs decided on the segregation at the security meeting. If it means the match goes ahead with no trouble then surely thats all that matters?
