I have to say the general mood amongst Salford fans has deteriorated markedly over the past decade. It seems nobody actually enjoys going to games any more and that it's more a combination of ritual / socialising / self flaggelation.

So in an effort to lighten the mood slightly, when was the last time you enjoyed being a Salford fan?

There's a type of pleasure in knowing that whatever happens, there is an up or down around the corner. So no season was fully enjoyable ... pushed for one would be those two before we were allowed into SL under Gregory: we beat so many with attractive rugby.

My last really enjoyable game was at that blue dump in east Manchester when the crowd got behind the Reds and we beat Shuddersfield.

[color=#FF0000:cacsr76n]Born in Hope, live in hope - Salford RLFC.[/color:cacsr76n]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_15409.jpg



Good thread, being a Salford fan at the moment is a weird one personally I think some of the players we have just flat out don't want to be here and I've never felt like this about a squad before I don't even want to go to the match because of their attitudes and the stuff we see on Twitter, I suppose if it was around a few years back then we might have had some of the same problems. I don't think I could ever walk away from this club but at the moment its thin ice. Need new people running the club imo but there's more chance of pigs flying

My answer to the question is probably 2006 everything was coming up Langi for us and the general mood around the club for 95% of the season was brilliant, the day of the game was excellent some good times back then before including and after the game couldn't wait for the weekend to come. 2008 was also not bad, back in the lower league obviously it was the die hards going to aways and we had some good days and some memorable games like the battle of Featherstone and the semi final at Celtic Crusaders etc I'd give anything to have days like '06 again.

1973-1975!!

On a serious note, it's probably when Andy Gregory was in charge, as i was genuinely optimistic for the future. Since then, it's been more or less the same every season, not even a good cup run to fire things up!

I'm always happy to be a Salford fan, no end of bickering and infighting to keep us entertained. This year we've had some sparkling rugby and some unpolished turds.

All in all I'd not swap it for anything.

The last time I enjoyed being a fan all the way through a season was 2003 or 2006. This season has had a few really good moments though, especially towards the start when we won 3 on the bounce.

Salford RLFC Folly ARLFC Good john wilky last looked out on the pitch at salford. when the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even brightly played the lads that night though the frost was cruelllll when poor swinton scored a try we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg



I know we had to move from the Williows and times change etc, but for me going to a home game hasn't felt the same since we left. I just don't get the same feeling anymore!!! icon_sad.gif

About a month ago rugby wise, although the last time I was actually positive about the future of the club and the direction it was heading off the pitch was a long time ago.

I'd also say 2006. We had a team that really played together for each other and a coach who everyone respected, and I still do. Since then it has been relegation, inconsistency, moving to a new but ultimately soulless ground that I hate and now ongoing rumours of financial oblivion.
The worrying thing is a lot of us have gone past the point of getting wound up by yet another defeat. Personally for me it is just a habit now and seeing people I don't see that often. If it all disappears, then at least I've met a group of people I wouldn't have otherwise that I am happy to call friends now.

I suppose this is about more than the odd game.

I have been disillusioned about the club for a number of years this has been as much about the club as it is about players.

We have a new stadium and should have made this home but we have allowed the stadium company to bully and dictate everything.

I hate the memebrship scheme, just give me a quote for my season ticket, membership is a good idea for occasional watchers.

I am sick of players like Patten rubbishing the club at what seems every chance.

Having said that we have had a number of brilliant performances this season, so full of hope.

Patten has a point, the club is rubbish.

Where is his loyalty? The club pays his wages, it's easy to complain but I don't see him offer any solutions.

Like many on here.

He doesn't owe any loyalty it's a job, I'm glad he's outspoken . Again the folk on here can't handle realism
