I said 1-2k, there are many RL fans in Swinton that used to watch the game on a weekly basis. When they left Swinton, they stopped watching. Although i understand they would never go and cheer on Salford I as one ex Swinton fan would probably go watch a game.

Regarding the other bloke that comments on a name change, ask London. I don't think you understand that the name Salford is not that well liked. London RL is a totally different ball game.

All is well in SL, and this franchising system has saved our game!

Now onto Blackpool.

Yeah i have to agree



Wood we have you still believe our game is thriving.

I remember during the world cup and i sent a few emails to the RFL saying what i cr@p job they were doing leading up to the event. I got an email saying before the event even started they were guaranteed so many millions profit because of how well they had organised it...........we all know how that ended!

Having a negative net worth doesnt make a company insolvent.They become insolvent if they are unable to pay their debts as and when due.

Goes back to what I was saying about living within our means, but some people are happy to continue sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting "sugar daddy sugar daddy" over any such discussion.

Someone has copied the OP's post onto Salford's Facebook page and they've replied with the following. Apparently the OP is claiming to have family on the board.

As has already been pointed out, these figures mean nothing without deeper analysis. If the current liabilities are mainly additional funds injected by the directors/shareholders then they could be seen as quasi equity which would improve the negative net worth. Also, in such a case the directors/shareholders would want to do everything possible to keep the company afloat to give thm the best chance of getting their money back.

On the other hand, if the liabilities are just a mix of bank debt, trade creditors & HMRC then the clouds on the dark side of the hill will be looking very black indeed!

They need to rebrand as a Manchester team , i.e Manchester Reds and try and appeal to a wider audience.

Lowry Lynx

They could re locate to old trafford as a name change is certain to pull in Mancunians in their droves
