It was for a while, and I think it was a good thing. Purely for selfish reasons that we can waltz into The Shed just before kick-off. It was becoming the case that Leeds and Hull got in there early and took it over.

:O No freakin way. When going gets tough, the tough get going... And besides, we have more than enough "young bucks" in our ranks, myself included I guess, who merely need some leadership and guidance... That's where the old guard come in! We can't possible leave the new generation in charge of the remaining time we have in the shed. TIME FOR ACTION ME THINKS!

Hmm. Still reckon it'd be great if they came back. I mean, it's not like we don't have the room for a few away fans is it? (I bet the club are squiriming at this suggestion. Don't worry, I can't see it happening somehow.)

I WOULDNT SAY IT WAS 20 OF THEM MATE. ID SAY IT WAS ABOUT 6 OR 7 DOING THE V'S. ME AND MY BROTHER WAS IN THE MIDDLE AND CLAPPED THE CRUSADERS. JUST HOPE THAT BECAUSE WE STOOD NEAR THEM WERE NOT PAINTED THAT WELL ASWEL. I WAS THINKING OF BRINGING MY SON ON FRIDAY NIGHT BUT I WOULDT EVEN DREAM OF IT NOW WHEN YOU HEAR SOME OF THE LANGUAGE OF FANS, WHICH IS A SHAME BECAUSE I THINK HE WOULD HAVE ENJOYED IT OTHERWISE

For me the shed needs to get more intimidating like it used to be. Lets give it to the away team when they come on the field for the warm up, give it them when they leave, they won't want to come out again and when they do then give it them again for the start of the game. We can do this as well as getting behind our team, for me the shed now is more hostile towards our own players than the opposition and it shouldn't be like that. We need to make teams hate coming to the willows like they used to. The atmosphere needs to start before the players even come out because believe me you can here the fans in the dressing room I've been in there. Remember the Boulevard? No one liked going there, the hull fans got on top of the away team straight away and got behind their own team at the same time often putting visiting teams off. I'm not saying lets all become a bunch of thugs for from it, but atmosphere for me isn't all about singing nicely nicely songs about your team thats only part of it, its also about having banter with visiting supporters/teams.

Imagine the Bradford team running out to a torrent of hostile boo's on a cold February evening I'm sure they could think of better places to be. Then when Salford come onto the pitch everyone getting behind the team and showing some true passion. Then at the end of the game even if we get beat we can say "fair enough, we were beaten by a better team" But, we as Salford fans have still given it everything to put them off and get behind our own lads at the same time.

Well I can't provide evidence of the numbers involved but your second sentence says it all.

Dear Salford City Reds,
Have a read of the above post and see what a negative image of the club is being painted by a minority.
Yours,
Red Preacher.

As long as it's done intelligently and appropriately. See Iain's last post.

Dare I say it, there is one issue the vast majority of The Shed are united on: the coach.

Thing about these morons is they will probably join in if it starts getting going, could actually get them on side if the shed gets as bouncing as it used to be.

DOES ANYONE SUGGEST RINGING THE CLUB TO SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THEM? CANT DO ANY HARM CAN IT?

A few points, FWIW...........

Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book :Others/NA.JPG
