It is what it is, Salford are what Salford are.

You start the season with the same points & expectations, and within a couple of weeks you get to where we are now, miles apart. Watching Salford to me, it seems like going to Vegas and taking £20 to spend. It'll be gone quickly and you're left watching everyone else have a good time and win stuff.

Fair play to you, you have a dig.

Comsic...

Yep.

Err, nope.

...just as my expectations foresaw.

It doesn't take long does it? 2 years, 2 trophies and whammo: "what's a Wilderspool?"

Walked over Wilderspool Bridge today. 1957 apparently - what did people do before then. Also, I went for a swim in Salford yesterday at the watersports centre. Takes a bit of getting used to.*

*swimming in open water, not Salford.

Wow, didn't realise you Wire fans were so bitter.

Bitter, we're having the time of our lives.

We've probably never had a better team than this, add to that the stadium & off field success, throw in the junior set up and the world is well.

The only reason your lot got a mention on here was because that daft bugger Parish seemed to think we take your players, when as shown you take far more of ours. Other than that, apart from home & away meetings, our paths are very unlikely to cross.

we've not even mentioned how big our floodlights are either


Anyone remember that one?

Profound. You clearly know your stuff. How many players does a rugby league team have?

Well, point being, if you ever get a competitive side, you could meet us in a playoff, I know that's unlikely any time soon.

Highly unlikely. We won't exist after this season unless we hit the top four. FACT.

Christ. Are you this serious in the pub? Lighten up.

For some reason I'm fond of Salford. It certainly isn't anything to do with the fans on here, who all seem to be angry little nobbers.

Having said that, I think the future should be bright for the club and I hope they manage to put a competitive side together for the new stadium. If they do, and they get the marketing right, Salford could be a big club and I'd welcome that.

But is there a 'casual' interest lying dormant in deepest, darkest Salford, all ready to come bursting to life when the new stadium is ready and the team is assembled, in the same way there was in Warrington, when we were preparing to leave Wilderspool?

Yes, we were once in that same place that Salford currently are, but we always were fortunate that we were a rugby town, with people ready to jump on the bandwagon of a successful side.....I don't see Salford in a similar vein. They are a football town, with a culturally mixed population, which doesn't aid their Rugby club's ambitions.

Salford have been Rugby League Champions twice since Warrington last won the title. In fact, in terms of all-time titles, Salford have won twice as many as Warrington. Giving them a little bit of respect, no matter their current situation, would be nice. This petty sniping is a bit pathetic, and really doesn't reflect well on Wire fans.

Well, Ian 77 and JWP are messing about. It's what the style of this board used to be all the time. Not taking it too seriously. But then all the "banter" with Wigan started and it's just nasty stuff instead.
