To be honest fella, they are totally rudderless when it comes to organising what to sing and when to sing it (they are like a mini warrington in a way bang a drum and ill they chant in time to the beat) and when they get bored and there is no atmosphere and thats when the abuse starts with "all hate scousers clap your hands" and the like, its a nothing song, a song fans will join in along to the same as do with a "SALFORD...SALFORD" chant.
They sing something positive or about salford back them, if they sing something negative or abusive or random leave them to hang themselves, it should work both ways as getting the atmosphere back in the shed is a two way street it wont take that long for them to notice what’s going on and im sure they will do the same as we all want our game day experience to improve
We work together and after a bit you can play on it a bit “left side give us a song?” ect its with any relationship ground rules need to be set.
Quote: Red Preacher "Very valid point fella thinking back to the Hull FC and Leeds "encounters" in the Shed in the past.'"
The atmoshpere back in them days were electric from both sides as both went for it, in the main it was all lads together and pure testoterone, when we scored having to duck as bottles of pee came flying over from the leeds or Hull side of the shed.
Times have changed now tho and we cant expect to attract families to watch salford stand in a United shed and get behind the team if they think they will get smashed with a bottle as they probably wont come back.
I wouldnt want my wife or child to get caught up in a Salford/Hull/Leeds shed tear up from yesteryear.
There is enough people on here and stood in the shed who want to make it happen and get the atmosphere back, it might take a bit longer than it would if leeds or hull invaded our end but i think a start is needed.
As for banning people on club coaches cant they put stewards on the bus, keep them all in check, the worrying thing is in a couple of years they will have figured out they can get to away games on a train just as cheap and they will be drinking in the same pubs as us all day rather than just for 80 mins 1 every 2 week.
