I haven't posted on here for ages because I read, with utter dismay, the crap spouted by five minute super fans and then ... this wonderful post from LoyalFan. I tip my hat to you - this is the crux of being a long time Salford supporter. brilliant post mate, heartfelt and completely true.

Quality post Loyalfan.

When you involve yourself in the Club that you love. Grow up with it. Become so familiar with every aspect that it feels like an extension of your home and your life. It's hard to take the lows at the moment. We seem to be slowly starving to death as a Club and it's heartbreaking to witness it and be unable to do anything about it. Rugby League as a whole seems to have lost something over the last decade or so with it's relentless push to an unachievable dream. It feels more hollow. Less involved, at least to me.

Salford feels like a stripped down version of the old Club. Like we've peeled off layers of our hundred year history. Cast it off in an effort to keep up with the steamroller that is modern Sport. We seem to be barely keeping up and have lost so much of what we made over the years. It wasn't perfect, but it was ours. On paper we have not changed, but the soul of our Club has become hollow.

Sad days.

But you are still suggesting that people are staying away from the club because of negative posts on here. Perhaps you live in a happy little bubble, but most of the people I know who've stopped going have done so because of the way in which the club and new stadium have been run.

I do agree with the last paragraph, definitely. But, where do those negative perceptions of the initial person "slagging off" the club come from? People have been worn down over the years, but still people like yourself cannot see that things have been done poorly by Salford for quite a while. People are not staying away because of negative posts/comments or whatever else from Salford supporters, particularly on a forum which is only read by a minority.

If we had someone who cared running the club this thread would scare the crap out of them.

If.

The only thing that will save the soul of our club now is a fan taking over in a leadership or ownership role. It may well continue as a business but it'll never be something the people of Salford are proud of and can fall in love with again otherwise.

I can’t work out if you are pulling my leg or you are serious!

I point out that at no point have I said "posts on this forum stop people attending games".
Following it with clarification of what I said so there could be no misunderstanding (something which you agreed with).
And you still have a go!

You need to let it go.

Also, at no point have I said that the club is run well.
Do I still live in a bubble?

Great Post,Loyalfan.The views shared by a lot of us,you should send the chairman and the board a copy.
