Worst moment has to be the mauling at bradford away. I remember standing there at the end of the game thinking thats it I give up with it all, only for a couple of days to pass by and be eager for the next game to come around.

Best moment too many to think of. Probably just being a kid and living on weaste lane and the general magical feeling game day would bring, from being about 6 and doing the con club car park, then climbing onto the roof to watch the game until the gates opened 10 mins before the end and then rushing in to see the last moments. To then getting a bit older and getting a season ticket and becoming apart of the shed atmosphere silenced by no one...Thinking about it now stil gives that old butterflys in the stomach feeling, good times.

1. Either that embarrassing defeat to Warrington at Murrayfield (at least our other hammerings were only witnessed by one set of 'other fans', OR the game v Leeds when Botham's son made his debut: I was at a conference in Llandudno but skipped the 4 course meal and the evening meeting to drive to the Willows, watch us being nilled, drive back, could not get owt to eat,and get a royal rollocking from the national executive the next day for missing the evening function.

2. That "recent" victory over Leeds at Leeds. BF, your expression was priceless.

3. I hope I never miss the Salford fans with which I have grown up. We are possibly the hardest SL club to support. In a football-mad area that dismisses our sport and with 30+ years of grief. Only the best could have stuck it out.

this will not be the end, or even the beginning of the end. It is merely the end of the beginning [img:1mcv36at]http://homepage.eircom.net/~bray/em/oguinn.gif[/img:1mcv36at] [img:1mcv36at]http://homepage.eircom.net/~bray/em/msperv-l.gif[/img:1mcv36at]:3596.jpg



1. Worst memories - Definitely the drubbing away at Bradford and the semi final challenge cup loss at Headingley. Losing the other two Challenge Cup semi finals, one at Burnden Park against Wigan, if we had drawn either of the other semi finalist that day (Hull or Oldham we would have gone to Wembley!) the other semi at Central Park V Saints. Every time a game was called off due to bad weather at The Willows. Every defeat apart from the one against Keighley on a balmy Wednesday night, one of the best games of RL I have witnessed!

2. Best memories - Travelling to and beating Catalan away the first time. Beating the all conquering pies in the challenge cup. The first Semi Final at Burnden Park V Wigan, even though we lost heavily on a terrible rainy day it just stood out as a great memory along with the defeat in the Lancashire cup final against Wigan at Knowsley Rd. Travelling to watch us away in the 80's, one stand out memory was away at Blackpool Borough when Les Boyd got sent off after a fight only for the Blackpool player to be sent to the stands too and he chased Boyd threatening to hit him, as we shouted to Boyd he turned around and put up the old boxing stance and the Blackpool player decided to give it a miss. The re-play away at Workington after we had drew 9-9 at The Willows in the 2nd Div Premiership, we slaughtered them with Martin Birkett scoring a hat-trick. Standing at the back of the shed on the ledge with my shoulder in the girder with my dad and all the family when I first started going and the flat caps and aroma of Oxo/Hot Vimto and piped tobacco. My mum working in the dressing rooms from my childhood right the way through to my adulthood and having every day access to the ground! The smell of liniment on everything we owned! The day Hull FC supporters came to The Willows in droves and trashed the place, invading the pitch and wrecking The Variety Centre. Sunday games in the eighties when me dad would take us in the Variety Centre after a game and buy us a coke with a slice of lemon and a cherry in! Away games at Station Rd. Jeez I could go on and on and on!

Demonstrations of Salford spirit - Still being here after all the sh/te they have put us through!

"In his autumn before the winter comes man's last mad surge of youth." "What on earth are you talking about?":986.jpg



Worst moments - too many surely ,St Thomas Church Dec 2012 , the last few minutes of the 1998 semi final at Headingley , the last minute of the final game against Cas in 2002.

Best memories - Any Wigan win , Beating Keighley in the 1995 season ? and the team doing the Cougar Crawl. Actually seeing Salford win at Headingley in 2009.

Demonstrations of Salford spirit - when we applauded London Broncos off the field after a particular classly wipping of our hapless home side. still remember the look of confusion on Richie Barnetts face as he walked off.

Stood on the terracing at Headingley deciding whereabouts we were going to sit at Wembley.
The best.....anything involving Watkins,Richards etc. (possibly Richards scoring 7 tries against Wire in 2 games one season.)
