Shame on you for not buying Issue 1 in August 1998 when we explained it



As others have explained in some detail, it was an old club nickname. Me and a mate saw it in Darrell Platt's excellent History of Salford Rugby League Club book and thought it could be a fanzine name one day.

I actually have no idea what anyone else on this forum looks like, so I couldn't tell you who the Scarlet Turkey crew are either. It's all a bit bizarre this thread.

PS, am I in the crew now? When is my initiation ceremony?

Edit: I actually know who GT is.

On the pitch before tonight's game, look out for this fella:

"Jester's hat? That's a paddlin'.
Banging a drum? That's a paddlin'."

I'm reletively new to being a Reds fan (1st game was a relegation tussle that we lost to KR prior to becoming a ST holder the following season, travelling to places like Batley, NR cup final at Bloomfield and the extra time GF victory against Crusaders at HJ) due to being a foreigner until 2007...

Like yourself, I only know one person on here personally (well that I'm aware off) and that's the extremely boring and drab Middleman whom I would class as my closest friend...God, occasional posts on here and personally knowing him, does that make me boring too???

Native Salfordians are a funny bunch but you do make me feel at home

Maybe this brilliant idea by the Doc will help bring the different factions together.

The main thing to remember is that the common denominator is we are all Salford fans.

Perhaps this is a good excuse for everyone to upload a picture of themselves.... I reckon I've probably spoke with most people on ST at the matches without even knowing it

Sh*t. I'll have to wear a pair of dark glasses and a comedy moustache tonight, then...

Not as if you can grow a proper one is it.

cant understand everyone's gripe here. People in life don't get on - so what. If people want to act like they own the place then is no skin off my nose - couldn't give a sh*t. So long as people renew their season ticket or keep paying on the gate and support the lads then so what. I work with some right t1ts but that doesn't have to mean I like them all, maybe folk should turn the sensitive button down a notch or two.

I'm fairly sure you've met me, even if only briefly, at Forever Reds meeting(s) - that's assuming you are who I think you are (produced the retro bags with Martin?) - if not, then as you were.

Actually, as reading these comments on Turkey/Twitter I was reminded of Groucho being told that he could not use a swimming pool as it was off-limits to Jews. He replied "My son is half-Jewish; can he wade in up to his knees?"
I cannot work out to whom I belong so can I be in both camps?

Many say the Groucho quote most accurate for me is:
“Everyone must believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer”

I grow better facial hair than your kid, though.

Bottoms, well now I definitely know 2 fellow turkeys so my goose is cooked..... My only problem is, I have no idea which one you could be lol
***had to edit due to an obviously bad word used previously, oops***

Jesus, that’s nothing to brag about. My mum grows better facial hair than our kid.

There are certain people on here who I think should be included in the 12.

Shirley - If you need that explaining to you then I'm afraid you need locking up for everyone's protection.

KOTS - For as long as I've know Paul he has been the epitome of a Salford fan for me, no agenda (despite being a mod on here) other than the betterment of Salford RLFC

Walshovski (people might think I've lost it with this one), I've had my spats with him on here but I never doubt he feels as passionately about the club as anyone and I get the feeling that he would bring a great deal to the position.

I know nothing about Salford faithful but I'd like to think if any of them offer the same amount as the people above that regardless of which alleged posse they belong too people on here would support them being chosen by the Doc.

Well I never seen that one coming.

I’m in work at the moment sat right facing him, I’ve just passed on your kind words Michigan

How do you sit opposite someone at work when you both have a paper round as a job



My gripe is his choice of friends a ginger and a garden gnome

I take any victory I can get, champ!

+1 Great shout MR. Both these 2 should be on the board as they are passionate, knowledgeable and best of all, level-headed which is exactly what the doc needs. I dread to think.what might happen if some of our so-called "fans" manage to weedle their way in somehow.



Btw, I would like to state on record that I am not a personal friend, family member, lover, publicist of either of them before anyone has a pop! I just know that they'd do a fantastic job and I just hope they've thrown their respective hats in the ring.

If I got on the boatd I'd get the urinals at the stadium lowered for the vertically challenged fans amongst us

The board needs to be a mix of fans, I'd include some that have only watched a short time as they offer something different, we need a variety of ages, and personal circumstances.

No point in filling it with people who all have a similar point of view. Need ones from the 3 stands as well.

One of my gripes with the Salford fan pages on twitter or individual's both on here and twitter, who claim to be "in the know" Even worse when they say "my sources" this is mainly about player movements.

FWIW My sources are telling me we are currently seeking a new addition to the squad due to the impending return to NZ. Club insiders say they want a "name". Moi Moi has been linked.


Easy isn't maybe i should start a fan page

'Sources' usually translates to 'a tweet from someone else I read about 10 seconds ago'
