HA HA i come on here pretty hammered last night and wrote this!

Yeah i clearly mean the last 15-20 minutes,i thought it was great,we needed to win like that to generate ANY sort of atmosphere! For the 60 mins before that you could hear everyone chatting away,even as holdsworth was taking his kicks,not paying much attention it seemed!
Poor crowds and poor atmosphere for most of the season,suprising really being the last year at the willows,fighting for playoff spot???

I think its time we all come to the conclusion that the Shed will never be the same as it was in the 80s & 90s. doesnt matter how you try, it is finished ( which is a shame), its been going on a few years now where you have people not singing that song cos there singing and they arnt singing cos they are singing etc, etc. i feel its time to start of ways of thinking of getting the new ground bouncing, like the shed once was!

Complacency from both fans and players last night. Also I think you are forgetting it was only about 5 weeks ago we were also nilled at home vs Hull KR in the cup.

From what i can see/here it seems the 30 odd young ones at the back of the shed try and start a lot of songs,and nobody bothers joining in!! I know there are a few turnips in amongst them,but they are coming along and supporting the club,they might be a bit football orientated but at least there coming through the gates and having a go at getting behind the team!

I don't think any British grounds, RL or otherwise, have the same atmosphere as they did in the 80's and 90's.

Would be happy to be proven wrong if anyone can offer a counter-example but I certainly haven't come across one.

I can't understand why people compare the shed now to the shed in the 80s n 90s its nearly 30 years ago people are different, society is different
playing by a different set of rules which is seen as acceptable

I wasn't inthe shed in the 80s and I was inthe northstand in the 90s but I bet the mix of people was totally different, mostly blokes drinking cheap beer, lots of testosterone standing were you wanted smoking where u wanted I've heard mass pitch invasions, throwing buckets of water / snowballs at opponent/referees all seemed perfectly acceptable

now somebody throwing a plastic bottle which in this day n age is wrong , there is a man hunt n linching organised, bit of overexuberence and the stewards are all over you like a rash

If you need to compare compare now to 2000s better? Worse? 2002 was epic, 2006 was good and imo the last 12 months its began to creep back to them levels which is a good thing.

Friday 2nd half thought the atmosphere was great lots of pro salford songs not as many anti referee / anti opponents songs should not be seen as a negative imo
