Quote: wigan_rlfc "Embarrassing ain't it?'"
Did you go? Not bad for a pre season friendly, 100 miles away on a freezing cold day.
What contribution do you make to improving the atmosphere at Wigan games?
Will you be at Salford? Come over and tell us all how you get behind the team.
Mentioned it in League Weekly that the vociferous Wigan Ultras made it a noisy afternoon for anyone sat around them in the Roger Millward Stand.
We took a coach with 30 lads on it and knew that we'd be the only Wigan fans up for singing. We knew it wasn't going to be the San Siro but we are trying to grow the group and create a proper mentality home and away.
This is us an hour before a game last year www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_yGoLOY ... plpp_video
And this was our last game of the season www.youtube.com/watch?v=gikLr86f ... re=related
We'll be at Salford in greater numbers than at Hull KR trying to give the club our backing again. |

I read this thread and didn't really know what to make of it.... However... I back any group of fans attending a game and trying to make an atmosphere... be it Salford, Wigan... or any other supporters.
The game of rugby league deserves every ground to be bouncing.
One thing that does make me laugh though is a Saints fan coming on here.... 100-200 Salford fans have been outsinging 8-10,000 Saints fans at Knowsley Road for years...probably won't be any different in round 2.

Yes i agree,but how come a town like Sts produce such fantastic teams like they do year upon year,yeah we know about how great there youth programme is,i lost players,when i was coaching3 of my lads turned pro,not one to Salford,these were Salford lads,and believe me or not another 3 at least could have made the grade.Salford did not once send any scouts to any of our games.Wigan,Warrington even Leeds sent scouts,one of my lads ending up signing for LEEDS.four lads we had at training at the start of the year,by the end we had 30.It needs people like you to give there time up to help,if teams like ours are going to succeed we need you. |

I really hope we can get something going for wigan, just to see what the acoustics are like in the south stand.
Glad this topic has risen up, I can't remember who suggested it but do we think trying to get a bit of stand interaction between the main stand and the standing section like FC united do at gigg lane, it would be ace if we get the balance right what is everyones thoughts?

It's good to see a group of lads trying to improve the atmosphere at games even if a lot of what they're doing is cringeworthy.
We'll never see a return to decent atmospheres at Salford - too many people are too apathetic towards the club now.

Not forgetting that, sometimes, people are just too nervous to sing... |

This is a huge bugbear of mine... Salford's scouting system is awful. I have been involved at an amateur team in Salford (Cadishead Rhinos) for over 10 years... and have yet to see a Salford scout down there. The club now have a number of teams competing at different age groups and the potential at the club is huge... yet nothing. We do have players trialling for the town teams... but it's up to the club to send who they see fit and hope that they meet the grade. I'd sooner see a scout looking at a real game and picking out players. I've seen a number of players at the club who I would love to see given a chance to prove themselves... but they have no chance if the Salford club aren't interested. |

Danny, I don't know how Salford's (or rugby league in general, to be fair) scouting works, but I know that a lot of football clubs send scouts down incognito to have a look at players. There may well have been someone down there to have a look, you're just not aware of them being there.
I'm not saying that's a definite, by the way, just that it could be a possibility.
