7891.jpg 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!!!

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

| Yes he does, he owes the people who pay his wages. If he doesn't like it he can go somewhere else.
Like any employee you don't abuse those paying you.

| Having an opinion isn't abusing, He tells it how it is, good on him.
He can't wait to get away from here just like most of the team
And that's what you get when your an Halfway house

as a continual advocate of how much better it would be for players to find another team, have you ever considered taking your own advice? please?

Not true, YOU care about the club as do many others.
2006 was the last time I really enjoyed watching the team. Beating Wigan at home twice in a month and thinking we could get to the Challenge Cup Final.
This season; London and Warrington games at home. Magic weekend; beautiful weather, great atmosphere and superb team performance. Walking out of the Etihad bursting with pride and hugging random Salford fans, wearing the shirt on the walk back into town feeling on top of the world. They are the games I will remember in years to come, not the dross served up last night and in other games this year.
Thats the reason I will be renewing my ticket for next year, with the hope and expectation of many more such days. The sad thing is with all the negativity on here from many posters and the rumours (many of which are without substance) could mean we end up like other once proud clubs such as Rochdale Hornets, Oldham and Swinton. No offence intended to supporters of these clubs, just the reality that they will probably never compete at the standard that they once took for granted.

Cheers for that, spot on, it saved me typing it

Most fans know how it is, they arealso realistic to know money is tight.
Patten tells it how it is, interesting that I haven't read that much from him saying how poor he is in defence, how poor his mate's kicking game is. If he told it how it was he wouldn't look for easy excuses, Matty Smith could have been injured.
Patten takes the asy option in blaming others rather than taking a good hard look at himself. He is overpaid and far too quick to blame others.
