I have a theory that all posters of the losing team should not be allowed to post until at least the day after. Read the thread where the guy moans about the ref, and how he eventually, over time, changes his mind!!
It's how it is. Personally, I am delighted with our season, thought we gave you a game last night, and am really looking forward to next season.
Good luck in your next match!
Good post DD and you are right it's only a very small minority of Batley fans that always use the same statements which include "arrogant" "big time charlies" etc etc, in their haste to have a go at Sam Barlow they were saying the Barlow try was never a try, well they were right because he didn't even score it was Bannister who did clearly ground the ball.
The small number of Fev fans that claim to support Batley are actually just using any oppourtunity to have a go at Fax and take great delight in anything that goes against us.
The bottom line is because it was Fax that knocked them out of the final elliminator in 2009.
Beat them in last years grand final and knocked them out of the NRC semi this year.
The pain of these defeats is what is behind it all and has nothing to do with their so called support of your club,no matter what happens in the future history is history and can't be changed.
Irrespective of what these few say I hope Batley and Fev remain at the top of their game because they deserve it.
It is shear hard graft and with all the efforts that it takes just to survive in Rugby League these days.
