Does seem a lot under but according to Michael Carter that's how much we were under this season. Point still stands though, if we had your crowds we'd be able to spend the full cap and probably get a top class half back and full back which would probably put us in the top four. And that's without the owners needing to put another 500k in on top.

| Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"To get back to the question posed by the op.
It's difficult to see just how Salford can keep on breathing, with rent on ground high enough to make a successful side struggle and the lowest crowds in SL and no wealthy backer (assuming that Koucash is not lurking in the background like a pantomime villain), the look to be on borrowed time.
Hopefully this isn't the case and they can pull their fortunes round but, from the outside looking in, it doesnt look great.'"
one ominous sign, and i'm sure this almost applies to the whole of the superleague is that they don't seem to be growing their fanbase. if the next tv deal is a bad one, then clubs have to offset losses by either cutting the wage bill or growing their crowds and commercial income, and they should be making efforts now in advance of the deal. i don't see too many signs that clubs are looking to do this. the poster who commented on semi pro rugby might have a point

With absolutely no financial facts so no basis for his argument, just pure speculational trolling! He’s ignored the fact that Salford have signed Hastings and Sio, with more to come, and spouts some right old garbage about not being able to field a team. Did it ever occur to him that Salford have released players they have deemed haven’t done enough for the wages they’re on so are replacing them with new ones?

| Strangely, we're in a better situation now than the whole of last season. MK said he would write-off the debt if we stayed in SL. Whether that happens is anyone's guess, but considering that Salford have just spent the whole of last season paying-off debt, it will be considerably lower than it was originally. High wage earners were sold, and still are being. We brought in cheap replacements, crowd-funded one and MK brought in one. We've survived in SL for another season, and while any clubs financial situation is precarious, we're sitting in a stronger position than we've been in for a long while. Hastings, Lussick, and Sio with more to come. Season tickets so far have sold more than the last few seasons.
We'll be fine.

| Kopczak now confirmed by Trinity on a one year deal. Salford have been making some good signings recently but only time will tell what depth the squad will have.
Good to see they have listened to their fans & are going back to Sunday afternoons for home fixtures, albeit subject to sky tv demands.

On 26th June this year we were £336,000 below the cap, since then we have offloaded our first choice halfback in Finn, and released other players such as Mason Caton-Brown and Baldwinson - Our highest earner in Kirmond is now I imagine on a much reduced deal. We have signed CK and George King so I would imagine that puts us around 400k below the cap.

Indeed.
There is a lot of work going on in community also rebuilding relationships that have been broken in the past.
We have a supporter's trust which is working hard to spread the word and also organising travel options for supporters by putting on special bus routes to the stadium.
The regular Sunday request is also going to help crowds and has meant that I can buy season tickets for the first time in a few years.
As above, we'll be fine.

Well you would think that wouldn't you - you tend to think a lot of things that have no truth in them.

As you say all clubs should be doing this, not just because the Tv deal may be less, but its more likely to be less in crowds keep going down it will guarantee a lesser tv deal. Big crowds gives us bigger bargaining power. but as the clubs have no voted in their preferred system they have no excuses.

| Quote rollin thunder="rollin thunder"
If the next TV deal is a "bad one", the whole of SL is at risk, not just Salford.
We do have a strange deal at the moment, when attendances are deliberately harmed by the TV scheduling and then we moan about falling attendances.
With only 12 clubs in SL and games spread over 4 days, perhaps its time to incliude the top end of The Championship in the next TV deal.
Our "competition", football and Union, dont have 2/3 of their clubs on live TV every week AND they are generating way, way more than we are in TV revenue.
I know there are many reasons why but, we are spreading our product too thinly at present and it's no actually helping the game.
It really is time that we started talking up the value of the game, instead of selling it as cheaply as possible.
