Looking forward to coming over Friday night, hopefully we'll bring a few and get a good game, although I won't attempt to predict the result!

It's not worth trying to predict as we dont know what rovers side are going to turn up yet

It's not just us then. I'm afraid we bring some similar dimwits on our travels. If you're unfortunate enough to be within earshot do us a favour and don't judge all Rovers fans based on their antics.

Do you think theres any way to get back to the days of exuberance and excitement on the terraces and a quality experience once again? Surely there must be many others feeling the same way? Well i dont know how many will be making the journey (at least 35,000 ) but hopefully we will make some noise!

Can we swap our smithy for their smithy this boys talking sence?

As for atmosphere I think its ticked along quite nicely in the shed last few weeks, nothing massive but much better than last season and maybe the season before.
"Our" numbers are down because people have decided to watch the game elsewhere because of the lack of atmosphere in the shed @ the time and got bored with me and Gt's love hate relationship or don't come at all now but we can only do what we can do with what we have.
You have to give the kids on the left some credit at least @ home their numbers are rather large and have mixed it up a bit rather than just abuse and currently dictate what is sung and when.

Remember last season @ the willows let's send it off with a bang rather than a wimper like the last few weeks.

Aways are a whole new ball game, due to circumstances I've not been able to attend any this season but my experience of them is the exuberance of youth will make you do some crazy things, we have all done it, its just their time, they will enjoy it settle down eventuality ready for the next exuberance youth to come through

I think there's some people on here who are far to obsessed with 'atmosphere', 'singing politics' etc etc.

I don't really sing/chant at matches. It's nothing to do with what's being sung, who's started it or who invented it. It's beacuse i'm there to watch the rugby. The rugby is my main priority!! I'm at a rugby match not a chior competition!!

Don't u find that singing and chanting raises the players spirit cos I certainly do, if they know the fans are behind them it lifts them, it's not proper rugby without a good sing song

Arf.

From an outsider looking in, I've always had the impression Salford fans were enthusiastic, barmy, mental, passionate, committed (least at home games) and what not regardless of what was being served out on the field. Our 2007 game with you lot on the Friday night (the relegation decider) was a brilliant atmosphere.

Looking forward to the game, if not the admission fee (20 quid?!), albeit this is a common theme in SL, and at HKR also, needs looking at.

It's a shame both teams aren't at full strength mind.

Patten keen to see Mason stopped

Salford full-back Luke Patten is hoping to bring his old Canterbury Bulldogs team-mate Willie Mason back down to earth when Hull KR take on the Reds.

Mason made a fairytale debut in England last Sunday, playing a starring role in Rovers' 40-22 win over Crusaders, but Patten believes the big man could be in for a shock at the Willows.

"He started off well," said Patten. "Obviously he's a big guy and he does take some stopping and, as we saw last week, he creates opportunities with his offloads.

"It's something we spoke about in training. But Friday night at Salford might be a bit different to Sunday afternoon at Hull KR. It could be a bit chilly and an intimidating environment hopefully."


Lets hope he is right.

Hull is always freezing even in the middle of summer.

I noticed a few more players have pulled out tonight, Feka, Gibson, who will it be next week? The saying 'when your down your down' couldn't be more true!
