Correct. I stand and applause the opposition at every home game upon them entering the field.

I applauded Rochdale the other week and even shouted for a forward pass from us

hardly an intimidating atmosphere for the away team.. where else does this go on?

maybe our fans are getting just as complacent as the team at the moment thinking we can just turn up.. and feeling sorry for the away team having not many away support

I clapped Salford when they came out, just as I wore a Widnes shirt and sacrificed a sheep when we entertained the Crusaders.

The sad truth is we are a bunch of boring farts at the Galpharm, it must be depressing turning out week after week in a stadium that resembles a fridge. The atmosphere is as flat as a witches tit and that hacks me off more than the below par performances to be honest. So maybe we all need to take a clse look at ourselves as fans and then we might see that we actually have a team that gives us as good as they get back (not alot).

The atmosphere has been at times rather flat this season but then so have the performances at home generally. The singing section do their bit so I don't think that area has anything to look at itself about.

We need a couple of consecutive decent performances at home.

If they want to be peurile then let them.

Nothing wrong with giving the opposition a quick clap when they come on. I always give them a couple of claps when they come on and if they score a particularly good try I might clap a few times as well. Not like I'd clap my lot, but there's no harm in applauding good play and showing a little respect to the opposition.

Because we can all sit in the stands safely knowing that our every move is not been scrutinised by 6000+ folk and we are not gonna be put on our booty by a 17st hulk at anytime.

Easiest game in the world from where we all sit, if they are playing garbage then leave early by all means, but please don't boo em.

No team/player ever goes out with the intention of losing and Sunday was a bad day at the office for all concerned but lets not underestimate Salford who did also beat Leeds!!!!!
