Are these threads only restricted to televised games?

Big game for both teams tonight, both coming into it on the back of gusty wins at the Magic Weekend. Can't really tell which way this one will go.

I wish it was a televised game, I think its gonna be a cracker. I'm gonna back Wakey to sneak this one

Of course they aren't ) and we're strong at home. Will be a cracking game I'm sure.

Both teams 17:

O'Brien;
Evalds: Jones: Sa'u; Vidot
Lui; Dobson
Kopczak; Tomkins; Griffin
Murdoch-Masila; Hauraki;
Flanagan

Lannon; Walne; Bibby; Joseph


Jowitt
Hall; B. Tupou; Arundel; Jones-Bishop
Miller; Finn
Scruton; Sio; England
Kirmond; A. Tupou
Arona

Simon; Ashurst; Annakin; Anderson

Seems I was overly pessimistic. Salford put in a decent performance to end Wakeys run.

Classy performance from Salford. Our lack of discipline contributed but taking nothing away from the Red Devils. I just hope we can improve for Hull KR which is another big game. Race for the top 8 getting interesting!

Well that’s my brief illusions of grandeur over.

For a short time I’ve felt like I was supporting a top side, hey-ho, back to reality.

I’m sure after years of misery I’ll soon adjust, unlike some Leeds fans right now .

Not wishing to bash Salford, BUT...the owner must be secretely getting fed up now with the realisation that the support is never going to pick-up. 3000+ for a Super League game is shocking. Didn't he have visions of 10,000+ attendances when he took over? I still genuinely believe that it's largely geography that's the problem; in that area you simply have too much competition for support. I haven't looked at domestic RU attendances lately, but I'd wager that Sale draw three times as many people as were there last night.
He is clearly passionate about our sport, but ATEOTD he is first and foremost a businessman, and such people do not acquire their fortunes by throwing it away for extended periods of time.
I still fear for Salford that he might realise he was mistaken about their potential and pull the plug at any time.

He might want to take that advice from the Catalans owner who has managed to almost double their crowds since joining Super League.....

It's a disappointing crowd. Didn't look that low to me, I would have put it more like 4500. I know about 8 regulars who weren't there cos of half term hols but that must affect all clubs the same I guess

Take nothing away from the performance though, we did a good job on Wakefield. Looked like we wanted it more than them which was nice for a Salford fan. Thought the same after Widnes too. Hopefully it's a sign that the players are responding in the right way to the point deduction. Think we'll have to play better against Wigan next week though

Thanks to Wakefield fans - no griping, they've just taken the loss. And the chairman on Twitter praising Joe Cobb (who I thought had a good game). Makes a refreshing change

Marwan wont walk :-

a) He signed up to a long term CVA (10 yrs +) to repay old creditors
b) He wont walk away from his personal £5 mill + input
c) He loves Rugby League


Sale - Their attendances vary between 3,000 & 8,000 depending on away followng.

The new road will help ease of access and with luck attract new fans.

Sadly, the area is a football-orientated region. Two of the "top 5 clubs" play very close and many RL clubs would kill for the support other football teams get ... even lowly Stockport.
I would hate to compare to Sale's figures as they are more successful at marketing/media and (more importantly) the way they are counted differs from how Salford counts their crowd.

Yes, it's a concern.

Nothing has changed since Marwan took over. We had a brief spell of major marketing after signing the likes of Chase, Puletua, Meli, Hock, Morley, Hansen etc and I remember the crowd for that first game of the season vs Wakefield was 6,500. Since the disasters which were the two seasons that's followed our marketing had died a death and as a result crowds have gone back to what I would consider the "core" support.

This is the best Salford team (granted not on paper) that we've had for many years, they play some very entertaining stuff and deserve a bigger effort from the club from a marketing perspective. We don't even do the basics ie posters in and around Salford etc.
