Sorry about the football analogy, I actually meant football scrum. Hope that clarifies that for you. Roll on the new season.

I didn't see how it started mate but it kicked off big style. One guy's face was a right mess and I'm pretty sure a couple of the stewards were hit in the melee. I'd like to think those on here that know those involved will name and shame but I won't hold my breath. I hope the pictures that were taken by the photographer are made public and the thugs involved are banned permanently.

I have noticed that are 2 sets of singing supporters now and sometime they are on the same page and sometimes they are not.

especially away when we are trying to get behind the team, 2 different songs start up.

Is there no way these 2 groups can put their differences aside and get behind the team.

Football scrum or football scum? Either way, stop blaming it on football fans. We've plenty of people who look for trouble who follow Salford before anyone else. The same goes for a lot of other rugby league clubs as well.

I'd left before this happened, so didn't know anything about it until I was well on the way home. I believe there were a few recognisable faces involved - I'd like to know who the forum regulars who were stood laughing supposedly are, because the handful of people I know from this forum who saw it certainly weren't laughing.

I also don't think it's down to "two groups of singers" or "two factions on Facebook" - as some of the people involved in either side of that were seen well away from the action and were not happy with the conduct of these bells. It's just f**kwits.

Also - I believe G4S did very little, including pushing people who fell over the hoardings back into the trouble. I do hope that is looked into as well.

I find the silence over this pretty unusual, you'd have thought the club would have appealed for help finding out who was involved.

Find it hard to believe that rival factions singing could be the cause, as GT says above it is just f**kwitts who can't handle a few beers without becoming thugs.

Telling that the club makes a big push to try and bring back the atmosphere of the shed and this happens, the morons who were fighting will probably be the ones crying the loudest if the club abandons the experiment to prevent this happening again.

I doubt any appeals are needed, there will be plenty of photographs and CCTV of well known faces involved.
