Salford Fans

They have copped some bad press this season but the guys I came across were great yesterday. True rugby league spectators, good banter and gracious in defeat.

All that we ran in too took the defeat well and wished us well,always the few that spoil things for the many.

Hope the club can build on this and move on,the sport needs as many strong clubs as it can muster,theyve had a good season i just hope the good doctor knows he's finally on to a winner with Watson and co.

Some we met coming out of the ground said it was a great game wished us good luck ????

On the down side.....

Wigan prop Tony Clubb took to Twitter after yesterday’s semi-final to describe how he and his teammates were pelted with bottles by Salford supporters.

Shaun Wane’s side came from behind at half-time to secure their place at Wembley with a 27-14 win at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.


The Warriors dominated the final half hour, scoring 15 unanswered second half points in front of where the Salford fans were located.

It is believed the Wigan players were hit by numerous plastic bottles and beer from a small minority of fans as they celebrated tries from Michael McIlorum and Oliver Gildart.

Clubb sarcastically tweeted last night: “Wembley!! Thanks to the Salford fans for throwing bottles and beers at the lads appreciate it.”

One supporter questioned the tweet by insinuating that the Wigan players had antagonised the Salford fans by rubbing their noses in it.

But the Wigan prop responded saying that they were also on the receiving end of thrown objects in the first half when Salford scored two tries.

The defeat was a heartbreaking one for the Red Devils who were appearing in their first Challenge Cup semi-final for 19 years.

For Wigan it was a day of celebration as they set up a final against holders Hull FC at Wembley on Saturday 26 August.

Oliver Gildart got hit with a cigarette lighter as well!

It was pretty clear on TV after the last try went in, I think you could also hear the referee telling the players to move away. Hopefully it will have gone into his match report.

All the Salford fans I know personally (admittedly it's a relatively small group) are all great.

Shame they have a group of fans who just can't handle it when they concede a try. I've seen it at their home games too with plastic pint pots coming out of the 'Shed' stand. I suppose that's why they're plastic, easier to make the cups less threatening than the people less idiotic.
