Its not about Salford and similar clubs being left behind/ lost, rather they shouldn't hold SL back.
In reality, moving to that ground with aspirations of 4k max crowds is not a SL club. Salfords support and difficulties filling a pretty small ground as it is, has shown they are not a sustainable SL club and are only really there to make up numbers.
The poster is only saying what is logically correct.....and probably what will happen next year anyway where wakey or salford are almost guaranteed to drop as Toulouse will stay up IMO. That will ultimately make SL stronger and Salford stronger as they are playing on a more level playing field, competing with clubs at a similar level, rather than crippling themselves as they are stretched beyond their means.

In terms of who to replace them, i think we can all agree that SL would be a lot stronger if you had Newcastle, York and Bradford in place of Salford, Wakefield and Huddersfield. York and Bradford already outstripping said SL clubs in terms of attendances at a lower level, and Newcastle with much greater potential.

Salford negotiated a deal prior to heir tenancy and are blatantly unable to afford it based on current attendances. As in any rental in the real world if payment isn't received the tenant is removed. Smaller premises will cope with the attendances currently seen but if franchises are ever bought back then Salford, as a club, would not be offered a Super League spot.

London moving to plough lane smacks of franchising being reconsidered.....because they rarely make bad decisions regarding moving grounds

No, we can't all agree this.

The idea that Bradford, a club bust 4 times in a decade, have any claim on SL is unacceptable in the extreme.

The club that rattled buckets, sold medals and sold players shirts to "save the Bulls", only for the directors to pay their own loans back - no, no way.

The club helped out at every turn by the RFL, a move that cost every other club in the game money, money they will never get back - no, no way.

And forget the "it's a different club" and "it's not the fans fault" - Bulls should own their history.

I agree. As much as Salford have no place in SL neither do Bradford and their buckets

2 finals in the previous 3 seasons says otherwise. You are so controversial aren't you, shall I send you a 'virtual medal', if so just let me know.

Is that the "BUCKETSHAKING WE"?

Really?
As the 2021 season attendances weren't properly recorded I have looked at the 2019 average attendances for said clubs

York 2,129
Bradford 4,339
Salford 3,677
Wakefield 5,346
Huddersfield 5,132

While I am not saying the SL clubs average attendances are anything to shout about only Bradford have a higher average
than 1 of the clubs you quote.

And still can't generate enough business activity to pay their rent, or get more than 3000 locals to follow them!

Salford has no future as a top division club.

Ah, the "Salford Board of Directors" emoji...
