Soccer will definitely dominate, it's true. However, for a period when they were successful back in the 1970s Salford's average home gate was more than 7,000, and this at a time when the likes of Leeds, Saints and Pies didn't get many more. No reason why they could not attract 8-10k if they had a competitive side and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether the latter, with the current shortcomings of the stadium, is achievable, not sure I know.
