Salford City Football Club is disappointed with the behaviour of some individuals in the away section of the ground at Newport County AFC on Saturday.
Firstly we would like to apologise to Newport County FC and their stewards, particularly those who may have been harmed and we wish them a full and speedy recovery.
The club are cooperating fully with Newport and the Police to bring those responsible to account.
We would like to remind all supporters of the Supporter Code of Conduct, and we will make sure that any further breaches will be dealt with accordingly.

2On hols Saturday so missed the game. What happened with the away fans ?
Re: Salford City Club Statement
3At half time, under the Bisley, a chant came over the dividing partition, and I quote, “ I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Newport's a sh*thole, I wanna go home.”
Now, I know we've all heard that particular anthem before, but to hear it from Salford fans astounded me on so many levels. I mean have you ever had the unfortunate experience of going to Salford? And Newport is a 'sh*thole?
I would like to state to everyone, as someone who grew up in Manchester, that Newport, in comparison to that bastion of northern ignorance, is a veritable Henley-on Thames darling. It is Esher and Godalming combined when it comes to sh*thole comparison.
In short, it is a horrible place to venture from. But they do of course, contaminating the rest of the league as they go – all three bus loads of 'em. So dedicated are they to spread their bile that a whole 148 ventured outside their otherwise safe hovels.
Honestly, I've seen more County supporters on a wet field in Caldicot on a rainy January afternoon than that dissembled shower of human detritus could muster, for what for them, was a relatively important match.
As for the intracranially-challenged moron who decided to self invade the pitch when Salford scored I hope he gets the punishment that the shameless deserve. I won't hold my breath.
Apologies that my rant is so long.

Re: Salford City Club Statement
4They were an odd mix. On the one hand they never stopped making a noise but equally some of them spent the entire 90 minutes offering the nearby County fans out/flicking V-signs, pausing briefly to celebrate their goals plus penalty miss. This included one lady. They didn't give a very good impression of their city.
The other thing that struck me, and maybe it was because we were losing, but they were the first set of away fans I can remember not to receive applause when the attendance was announced.
Edit: Salford Quays is alright.

Re: Salford City Club Statement
5Am amazed nobody seems to have seen the Video on Facebook.
JonD is being polite.
The lady (slag) is shown firstly V signing both hands at the Stewards and County fans across from her.
She then goes into simulated sex movements laughing all the time.
Finishing with slashing knife movements across her throat.
Guess in her twenties.
Somebodies daughter

Re: Salford City Club Statement
6I've seen classier away fans at Rodders. As Ronnie Barker might have once said," I'm distinctively working class except when i visit me aunt up in Salford, then i become middle to upper class".
Good on their board for making a stance and apologising.

7The two individuals who approached me on the way to the game seemed as high as kites. I suspect drugs may have possibly been influencing the behaviour of a few other Salford fans as well.
Re: Salford City Club Statement
8Can't help but feel it was mostly kids giving it the 'Big I am'. They'll no doubt kick off in the wrong place and get a pasting at some point
Re: Salford City Club Statement
9According to reports on twitter one of the female stewards suffered a broken nose from the incident.

Re: Salford City Club Statement
11There was a bona fide tv cameraman in there with them, though he was at the back, so probably missed the worst of things.
I noticed a commotion (stewards and police congregating, possible ejection/arrest)) but hadn't realised anyone had been hurt.

I see in the news some Salford supporter has tried to launch a firework rocket from between the cheeks of his backside, with inevitable results. What an arse!

It's a song we sing as well Jon just change the town/city etc I can't see a problem with that in fact every club fans do the same
Re: Salford City Club Statement
14Same old. New clubs gets promoted, party boys make a short term effort going to away games and getting smashed, happened to us a few times over the years as well.
5 years or so ago they'd have been smashed to pieces down here, but I think most of our fan base has moved with the times now.

15You're right Jim, it's just that their aggression under the Bisley at half time really annoyed me.UPTHEPORT wrote:[quote
