2378 crowd WTF

Told you

How can Salford sustain a Super League club?

Huddersfield and London probably get less
Super league is really struggling at present

Thursday nights for ya. Not that there a boat load more on a weekend but still..

Things would get even more interesting if ourselves, Hull KR and London manage to get wins this weekend.

Maybe it wasn't Hastings who was the talent in their half's after all

With Salford getting a crowd of less than 2,500 I think saying super league is really struggling is an understatement, in reality its dying, its becoming a minority sport in the UK and it hurts to say this. In fact women's netball (no disrespect to women) have crowds nearly as high as what Salford, Huddersfield and London achieve. To try and defend this once great game becoming harder and harder to do. You look at the egoistic chairman of these clubs, knowingly surviving on the Sky money of £2M per club and you now know why this sport isn't getting any better. It will not be long before Sky pull the plug on sponsorship, and how many clubs will go to the wall. If Salford are getting crowds of less than 2500 why should Sky pay them £2m when their own supporters cannot even support them. Its time Super League and the farts who work there took the finger from their backsides and started to spend money in the UK and try to market this game. If that means teams like Salford, Huddersfield, and some others are removed and replaced with teams with some supporters, have a go at me if you wish, but simply to try and defend crowds of less than 2500 when its indefensible, you don't deserve a super league team. The league needs to be expanded to 14 teams so everyone plays each other home and away, and if you want promotion and relegation the scrap the cap on salaries, if you want the cap then franchise the sport. Candidly the sport is in a right mess and all the clubs with no money are making all the decisions. no wonder we are going downhill.

There seems a lot of tactical self-interest between the clubs and too little strategic planning for the overall health and development of the game.

There is more League on TV in the UK now than ever before whether it be NRL or SL. I don't know if Sky release their veiwing figures, in which case only they know how well supported it is from the armchair. This will have the biggest bearing on the next TV deal and supporters at the game really have little bearing on it

I could see Salford going into free fall and they are overpriced at 33/1 to finish bottom (London are 4/5 favourites at present).
Salford have to play Wolves home and away as well London, Rhinos and Hull away. Their homes are Catalans, Shuddersfield and HKR.
