Im not one of the drummers and never want to be but while you are having a pop at them try to remeber this,Those drummers are the ones who follow the club thick and thin home and away, Hats off to you and keep on banging

Get some new and better songs.
I don't sing these days because its the same couple of cringeworthy songs EVERY time.
There has been some new stuff thrown about but no one tends to know it.

Maybe im just getting old

Salford are great arent they.....?

you'd have to be wizzed up on red bull and pills to get excited about that fixture.

I couldnt sing if Jimmi Hendrix, Elvis, and Buddy holly were in the south stand whipping up a sing song...

its a case of turn up, win the game, get back home, when we play that soulless club and its half wit supporters

It baffles me that when the atmosphere is always bad, the South Stand always seems to get the blame? It's not exactly been carnival central in the North Stand and the East Stand either.

The North Stand is poor.

What a total tool you are

I can't comment on the age thing squire as I'm 38, but the songs (when you can hear them) make me cringe especially "Barmy Army" or "She wore" sung out of context. Then the false adoration of newly signed players.

Then again I'm a luddite who used to like "Gimme a W" with a huge "EEEEeeee".

I thought the Salford fans were excellent in their vocal support and variety when taking into consideration the respective league positions.

It is mate, but it is what it is. The Bevan (seating) was hardly rocking at Wilderspool. You need a 'Spion Kop'* type standing environment to get the singing going. I think stand depth, as opposed to width is the key and this is magnified by importance/rivalry of the fixture. We were lively at Knowsley Road and we would have been lively if our "derby" was against Widnes.

*Maybe JWP, Wire_Yed, Monkey, TANCW or Sal (or others) can explain why one of our stands (and many others in sport) was/is named after a famous battle in the Boer War.

I didn't know, and whether rlthisrl is true or not, it makes interesting reading.

I moved to the North from the South two years ago and the whole experience is far superior. When the stadium rocks, it's the whole place, not just the South. The best atmosphere we ever have is Wigan away.

I like the North too TANCW but with a missus (who won't pay cos it's my thing) and a 9 year old who only likes Wembley it's a few bob. Maybe I'll get a season ticket next year as I haven't missed a home or away game this.

Yes, I'll be going to the KC with my colours hidden* and duly protected** with enough substinence to see me through***.

* see earlier post on Hull FC safety concerns.
** with a blade to produce (hidden under my cashie wear) in a blink of an eye - see earlier post
*** see PY's earlier post on the food kiosk apartheid.

Have no fear when the famous Featherstone Rovers hit town in a few weeks your south stand will have an atmosphere

This board is slowly working its way back to its best but a crucial step will be someone posting a picture of Russ Abbott on this thread...

Hear here, Ian.
