Do Salford Supporters Have The Most Songs ?
A question my 9 year old son asked the other day.

Yes I surpose we have a lot, better we have variety than just one

I would like a signature tune like "old faithfull" or "red red robin" I surpose "I see the salford reds arising" is the nearest we have but personally in barton i would like "dirty old town" to take off with the lyric

"Dream the dream by the old canal" and "smell the spring on the salford wind"

I would also like them to play the "craft" version over the tannoy much more rocky than the original verson.

id like dirty old town to be sang more
maybe a campaign to make it our old faithful

No point having our own song, will just be ruined by people singing far too quickly then clapping

Followed by me getting irate and screaming, "FFS, slow down!" No, for the good health of the musically capable, perhaps we best avoid an unofficial anthem.

I disagree new shed new rules



Id even change the words slightly

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Hear us sing, when the salford win
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Drop the original 2nd verse sing it in 40 seconds jobbie is a good one

Won't happen tho we will sing it too slow cos everyone else sings it too quick and clap all the way through as a protest

Just as long as you don`t lumber us with that horrible cover I `ll be a happy bunny, for what its worth 619 Red favourite song is I Am Salfordian .

And there's two reasons why i stopped standing in The Shed.

The lack of timing or timing nazis?

There have been some real belters over the years. Who can forget '**** off Myler, **** off Myler', although I always enjoyed its predecessor, '**** off Coley, **** off Coley.' And for the (slightly) older folks, who can forget the classic '**** off Homesick, **** off Homesick'?

I think the National Anthem should be "Take me home Willows Road" ala Huddersfield with their Fartown !

Quality. [size=50(I wonder how many take this post literally?)[/size

By far!!!!!

Lets be honest rugby league fans aren't exactly the most creative bunch. I mean the Wigan fans thought singing "we can see you looting shops" in reply to our chant of "We can see you sneaking out" the other week was the funniest chant in years.

The timing Nazis.

Being told what to sing, when to sing it, at what tempo and whether i can clap or not did my head in!!

I'm a spectator at a rugby match!! I'm not attending choir practice!!

I'm a big believer in sing it how you feel it.

It's classic hurd mentality one goes of and everyone follows that's been the problem, sing it @ a tempo you feel comfortable and it will balance it out the same way you never hear a out of tune crowd regardless how bad each individual is @ singing in the right key

Can't see the point in shouting people down be positive and embrace it and it will be good in the end

The Shed had finished the national anthem on the 11th before the singer had even started. I think even she was confused!

Per capita I think you defo have most songs
you've probably got a song each

Well your one song wouldn't see you in the running.

Considering that very few salford fans ever come to the KC I can forgive you for thinking we only have one song.

But it's not

"Wigan,Wigan,Wigan,Wigan"

So at least we've not got the wooden spoon.

I've been to the KC every year since 2005 and have only ever heard 3 songs!

"Old Faithfull"
"Come on you Hull"
"Salford is a hole" - sang by the scally corner.

edited for accuracy

I have not been every year but have been to the willows 4 or 5 times and can honestly say I can't remember any songs

Does this mean Salford fans don't sing???

I'm amazed that most of them even knew as many words to it as they did!

I ctually agree with you there Bobby

In fairness Wigan are actually on an upward curve support wise since they started this 'ultras' lark. Starting to get a few decent flags/banners, and when they got slapped off Wire in the league the other week all you could hear was the Wigan fans singing. Think Wire have the wooden spoon these days.
