I can see where a lot of fans on twitter (who won't come on here) are coming from, there is a section of fans who go to games who people call the scarlet turkey lads, everyone knows who they are, I can remember them all since I first started watching back in 1992, to me and a lot of other fans I know, they seem to have an arrogance about them along with a stubbornness too, they seem to think they are the doormen of the home end, if anyone does anything that doesn't live up to their standards they distance themselves from them or throw snidy comments, I also remember in the shed if anyone other than themselves started any song you wouldn't hear a peep out of them, along with the ban the drums and face painting and foam hands comments also I can 100% completely agree and see why there is hate towards them. This is where the Salford faithful comments came from I think Imo.

I cant agree with this part due to 80% of the old fans from the shed (centre singing section) haven't made the transition to the south stand

I didn't say they did, I'm recalling what I remember in the shed, I presume their exactly the same now anyway.

Care to name names?

I've always wondered who people are specifically referring to when mentioning 'The Scarlet Turkey Lads' just to see if they're the same lads who actually used to write and contribute to it.

Good grief, I don't go to Salford to take part in any of this.

Salford is a key part of my entertainment time. Even through the many hurtful decades I have attended, it ranks as a pastime: a very important one but not work, politics or trade unionism.
Give it a break. This is not Sunni v Shi'ite or Catholics v Protestants.

There are people who'd cause a fight in an empty room. Leave them alone. Feed them and we get more scenes as at the Leeds match. So don't.

The rest of us can concentrate on Salford.

I don't consider myself to be "one of the Scarlet Turkey lads", but if drums do appear in the south stand, I'm moving elsewhere...

As for the rest of it... It seems some people have taken offence at comments not aimed at them - or taking offence at things that aren't actually true, or haven't happened. I've even seen photos posted singling out people in away ends as "the boring crew". Just turn up, watch the match however you want to watch the f*cking match and go home.

Hillbilly Red has got it spot on.

God if I'd have only known it was this easy Being serious why the in fighting, I honestly don't get it. Surely as fans we all in the end have the clubs best interests at heart. I've applied and I come on here does that make me part of the Turkey lot? Never been part of a gang before I wish someone would have told me I'd wear the bloods colours more if I'd have known.

didn't know that just by posting on here I was a clique, I thought we were just fans of the same club .
Only reason I don't Twitter' is I generally need more than 140 letters to make any sense.
I am led to believe the ' Turkey Lads' all live in 'the Shed' at the bottom end of the Butchers Garden ...

It seems many have decided to use social media as an attempt to get themselves noticed by the new regime, especially since Koukash decided to join twitter. Attempts to prove top redness vary wildly however having a go at certain members of this forum seems to be quite a high points scorer amongst some.

Hopefully the new fans board will be seen to represent most parties of our fanbase, which should stop the usual tiresome accusations of cliques etc that are aimed at the likes of Forever Reds etc.

I've known you for over a decade and you've failed to make any sense in that time!
