I agree.

Trouble is GT we already have a fair few fans who don't dress up but abuse opposition teams. What is more they give our own players terrible abuse, I'd rather they didn't come, as they are a total embarrassment and do not help us attract back genuine fans and new fans, which is what we need. I'm not one for clowns hats etc, but would rather have them supporting the team than normal dressed morons abusing our team.

What the hell is this thread about? BALLS I say BALLS. Close it

Wow I didn't realise that a thread about hats could cause such a plethora of agitation.

I’m enjoying it.

Hats mate.

I take my hats off to you for persevering with it

Pretty unbelievable, given our current state of support, that people can seriously suggest that they would rather certain people not attend.

The mind boggles.

Butcher, if you had seen the abuse away at London last year you would know what I mean. Sure the team capitulated but our fans offering to fight the subs and coaching staff, whilst screaming disgusting abuse is just not on. They certainly have no concept of how to behave and on a personal level I would happily see the back of them. If I am not happy with the team I just leave, but I guess we are not all the same, I do not abuse or boo them, I do not see how that does any good. Anyway that is my view and I will stick with it.

Let's pray there's no repetition of past lunatic behaviour at the HJ on Sunday

Fully agree.

My earlier post was more aimed at those that say people who wear silly hats etc are not welcome. No room for abusive fans whatsoever and I hope you didn't think I meant otherwise.

Salford Cliquey Reds

Cheers Butcher, I know what you was getting at, and I also have no problems with fans dressing up, just enjoy themselves and behave that is all we can hope for.

I think jester hats were the least of your worries in attracting idiot fans. Spoke to a lot of your lot and had some good banter and rugby conversations. However i was surprised to see a Salford bloke in his late 50's early 60's hurling abuse to the young lads with the drums.

"Sh1t without your drums arnt ya?" "w@nky wire scum bags" effing and Jeffing and all the rest of it. Who said it was the younger generation with no manners or decorum. A bloke of his age. You'd think he'd have more sense...

Young bell-end turns into old bell-end.

The youth get labelled unfairly imo. There's plenty of older tools to go around.
