Well the situation would get better very quickly if the long-promised Metrolink line ever gets built...

Then Salford need to market it more - starting with the crowds that Sale Sharks get.

Having said all of which Salford have taken a prudent financial approach (IIRC they don't spend anywhere near the salary cap) and have done OK over the last 12 months.

Just a couple of points here jeannie, first of all your not stating a fact, just an opinion.
Secondly I see what you've done here, this thread is about your opinion of Salford and it's alleged financial difficulties and has nothing to do with catalans and Toulouse, but once again you have managed to turn this into another opportunity to spout your rhetoric about 2 ordinary mid table teams in their respective leagues.

This weekend’s game is irrelevant to SL and it’s problems as it’s just a one off fixture that doesn’t hold any baring on the 29 Rounds of regular season action. Wigan were averaging 15/16k 7/8 years ago and getting 17/18k for the Leeds home fixture.

No club has seen worst drops in attendance than Wigan over their last few years so actually yes Wigan are indicative of SL’s problems.

They don't announce away fans numbers but think it was around 1,000 give or take a few, good turnout.

I AM A London fan who attended last Sundays game at the AJ Bell. We drove up leaving at 7.30 am. We got home at midnight. Okay, we stopped to eat both on the way up and on the way back, but it was over 500 miles for us and I would say it cost us over there hundred pounds for the day for the four of us.
Next weekend we are off to Hull, same again, but then it is what we do on a Sunday.
I might also add, I drive 140 mile round trip to a home game.

You are a true fan Bostwick.

Any knockers haven't a clue.

What is a "true" fan?

one who supports the club not just for silverware

We have always struggled with money, even under wiky (chairman before Koukash). The SAS meeting was horrible, we needed to raise 600,000 in 6 weeks then koukash stepped in. Think the council have helped us out a lot paying our rent for the ground (when that stops i will worry). Thing that annoys me was the likes of koukash, saying hes leaving because the fans wasnt backing him (many reason why the fans didn't back him) As for crowds, we have proven in semi final cup games and bank holidays that we can have a good crowd, success bring crowd in not a good run of games. Also marketing at salford apart from this year have been terrible

That’s a load of rubbish. Look at cas. Not had any success nor will they with a smaller catchment area than Salford yet still have much higher crowds
