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.)

| Quote: Red Preacher "Beat me to it. Just one addition, singing all of the above towards the North stand when their fans are at the Willows end. Oh, and an absolute corker the other day. The chant, whether rightly or wrongly, "what the f****n 'ell was that" was sung by a large section of the shed towards the Salford players after yet another Crusaders try. About 20 of my favourite morons started singing the same song and flicking v's at the Crusaders players. How stupid can people get... Furthermore, it makes the rest of us look bad.'"
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

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 |

| 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.

I'd welcome it if they just stuck to the right side.
I also remember a bottle throwing incident from the right side accelerating the start of segregation.

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.

| A few points, FWIW...........
TR - [i"At salford over the last three years there has been a right side of the shed, and a left hand of the shed"[/i
Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book :Others/NA.JPG |

| Quote: Iain "I think the circumstances mentioned here come back to the inappropriate timing that KOTS mentioned. There has been a tendency to sing songs at dumb times
Good call.
I also feel that we don't abuse the referees often enough.

| The club have been told about the behaviour of certain fans including their recent behaviour on the club organised coach. The reaction was a shrug of the shoulders and "what can we do?"

They were quite capable of banning people last season following certain incidents. I'm not sure why the same action can't be taken again?

3596.jpg this will not be the end, or even the beginning of the end.
It is merely the end of the beginning
