Thoughts, teams, predictions ... Fill your boots

from a salford fans point of view, I think its time we got behind the club.

YEs the club has made mistakes, yes maybe they dont have the best staff in place, yes maybe things arent the best in certain areas...BUT....one thing all sides have in common is ..we want a successful salford RLFC.

ITs about time we stopped the nagtivity and all worked together towards the common goal...people staying away etc is only making things worse as we have less money. Lets get the atmoshpere going, get behind the players, promoite the club to friends / family.......maybe the club have made a mess of this...but fans are PART of the club and so we could do SO SO much - maybe that will help the club and solve some of the obvious problems.

I know people are fed up after years of hurt, but thats salford.....very few of us were hooked on a champioship winning side.....we were hooked on the atmoshpere of the shed....the rollercoaster ride....the best game in the world and the great fans you only find in rugby league.

This is a chance to wipe the slate clean with the new ground and as fans we pay a huge part. People finding faults and spreading negativity are only going to damagae the club further....if we fail now, the fans are as much to blame as anyone else.

so come on, lets start the party rocking at the new stadium on tuesday...show the players how much WE love the club and hope it rubs off on them. How many times have we outsung teams when getting beat 60-0.....now we only boo.....lets raise our game and help the players raise theres!!

We all want the same thing - a successful SRLFC - lets start playing our part!!!

Fantastic post.

Fantastic post.

QED

Great post the adventure of playing in a new stadium is about to begin, it SHOULD be a positive experience for all, i hope as fans we can put aside the obvious negative feelings we have on certain people and aspects of the club and 100% support the boys for each 80 minutes they play.

Back in 2003 the fans and the club stood together and help to move the club on, im hoping for simular actions this season, we are making history here however you look at it and i hope it will be a positive story

I hope if wigan do bring their "ultras" it might spark an atmosphere of sorts, it is a frendly and friendlies arnt the most atmospheric but you never know new stadium new way? possibly.

Wigan are a champion team and will be a stern challenge for us, as long as we complete for the full 80 minutes both in attack and defence then i will be happy.
It would be useful if we stop a cricket score appearing as some fans who went to leigh or decided to give it a break after leaving the willows will be monitoring our progress by newspaper and Tv so no batting calapse will be good.

So better atmosphere than halifax, 100% comittment to the cause and no injuries as we need a fully fit squad would be in my eyes a succeful nights work

Christ, finally going to a game are we?

I am hoping coaching staff and players will know enough about the opposition to nullify their strengths,and with the Salford crowd staying with the players throughout the 80 minutes,The Reds can prepare for the important fixtures under the floodlights with the first of many home victories against Super League opposition.

Sorry if this sounds a little defeatist.

If the forwards can get a foot hold in the game, and we keep Wigan within 20 points, it won't be a bad night. Rather than concentrating on the result, it should be about individual players proving they can match SLs best. Certain prop forwards have much to prove, but I'm sure our backs will score tries. If the forwards can lay a platform, obviously.

Wish I could go but being a school night I have to stay home with the Boys. The late finish is to late for the youngest.

NGAR.

I ready for a bit of that, I agree with the poster lets give the club & the players a chance.

Chance after chance, year on year.........

I just know there's a really poignant reason to post that link, but I'm struggling to 'get' it...

What with your creative mind ....never.... you're LOSING it.......

Infinately better performance, defence looked a lot more structured and against a team who will be in the top 2 at the end of the season I'm very happy indeed.

Cause for optimism.

Cause for optimism? I would be very happy if I were a Red tonight. Both halfbacks showed what they can do. Quick clean passing along the line. Good defence. After 10 mins I thought you were going to get mullered. You turned it round and more. Scored two good tries and hopefully no injuries. Was not impressed with your 13 and Dewit. Did'nt look interested.
Your play the balls need to speed up when you have a team on the rack and you need some grunt up front and a more aggressive game. Two hard packmen and you wil be fine.
Well done Salford.

Not been to the game, 10 - 16 scoreline flatters salford. But being a salford fan who refrains from wearing rose tinted specs, you can see the difference in the 2 sides it's quite evident simply by the fact that if wigan play badly they still WIN, if salford play good or bad we still LOSE.

Dantes Inferno has finally jumped the shark. Within an hour of tonight's game finishing he's trolled on over to the Wigan forum and posted the following:

"Not been to the game, 10 - 16 scoreline flatters salford.

If that first sentence doesn't put the final nail in his coffin...

As a Wigan fan that scoreline certainly did not flatter Salford! I thought Salford defended well and nullified most of Wigans attacking plays. Sam Tomkins was the difference tonight, if he didn't play then Salford win IMO. Good luck for 2012.

What utter bell endery.
How could you possibly know the scoreline flatters Salford?
You really don't do yourself any favours with your narrow minded one trick pony rants.

Unbelievable post as he's not been to the game.
My first visit and all the logistics at the ground looked to be working well but A57 and motorway will be ongoing problem.
Team did well as a run out as long as we don't read too much into it.
Half backs were sound, I'm not an Adamson fan but I thought he was outstanding tonight as was Jordan James.
Right side defence looks flakey.
Both wings are quality.
Feka looks far better.
We look one aggressive forward lacking but ,overall, well done to the whole team and coaching staff.

WUM

After reading the wigan forum i see wigan ballsed up 13 scoring chances.

I can feel a spice girls song coming on that begins with w and ends with e

anybody?
