We noticed that when we were at I think 56 our kid said he might as well leave the six there, whilst he was throwing them back down t'hill.

All depends upon where you were sat, we were next to the most bitter bunch of old men I've ever seen at a match, they were awful. We tried to show them some repect but were met with all kinds of anti Salford abuse.

Some snippets.
Ten mins in I'm glad we are playing these and not Featherstone.

We've come to see your stars but you havn't got any.

On Ratchford's first attempt at goal well he should get it he's had enough practice.

Glad we're not playing a decent super league team.

F this forward that, if it wern't for the ref....
And on and on and on....

Nice little stadium though..

Me and my dad were sat in the top tier in the middle. It bordered on hilarious at times. Every pass was forward, every play the ball we were offside. The ref was a cheat, etc

Sounds like you were sat next to us! It was truely cringeworthy, they gave Salford no respect whatsoever. I couldn't honestly understand the bitterness, I was prepared for some friendly banter but nothing of that sort, at one stage it even sounded as though they had come to the game expecting to win?

Lovely stadium, their players gave it all but it was never going to be enough and like I said to one of the Hunslet fans when it was 0-0 after 10 mins and he was ribbing Salford - Just check the scoreboard at full time pal not after 10 mins its an 80 min game, well he left right on the final hooter without any comments and didn't even clap his own team off!

The guys we spoke to wished us well for the rest of the season and generally were friendly.

Every club has nutters. I did hear a woman shouting about off side all ganme she was funny.

Re: HAWKS v REDS [Challenge Cup [SUN 8-5-11] : Mon May 09, 2011 12:24 pm  

We were on the top tier too and though most of the fans were OK we were told that Salford had gone bankrupt two days after the last round of franchises and that our new Stadium would never be built. As one of us said, "Never let the truth spoil a good story."

The fact is that we were a National League side not too long ago and we never exhibited any of the resentment towards Super League sides that some Hunslet fans seemed to show yesterday.

On a separate note, Ryan Boyle impressed me very much yesterday. He never seems to get the plaudits but he seems to be getting better and better week by week. Long may it continue.

I think all that was lacking on the top tier amongst the moaning Hunslet fans were those two old guys who used to sit in the balcony on the Muppet Show. Reminds me of our last visit to Dewsbury. They were all bitter as well!
