Quote: Wheels "The problem lies in your first paragraph. If the Willows was earning you so much money, why wasn't any of it invested back into the ground rather than questionable rugby players?'"
Not quite true. Due to Salford Council's rather keen safety bods, a lot more was spent on the Willows in the last 25 years than most "traditional" RL grounds in the last 100. Two new main stand wings, large section of terrace replaced in the NE corner, new crush barriers in the North Stand and Shed, new seating in the North Stand, complete reclads and re-roofing of the North Stand and Shed, community classroom. Yes, the bogs and changing rooms remained rubbish, but much more work was done on the Willows over that period than at most grounds (many of which were in greater need).
