I don’t think there are any plans to opening a cash turnstile. I’ll never understand why people can’t pick tickets up from their own clubs ticket office in the week(s) prior to the game, buy online from Salford and print the ticket off or buy online/over the phone and pick it up on arrival from reception. It’s quite simple really.

Whilst it's true that since Koukash has arrived Salford have done more to ease pre-purchase by scrapping booking fees and allowing print at home, it really wouldn't be rocket science to have cash turnstiles and the refusal of the stadium company to allow it cannot be defended. As much as Salford RL plead for it, the stadium co seem to trot out an excuse about not having the insurance to take cash on turnstile. The solution therefore is to get the insurance - everyone else has managed to do it - it's blatant penny pinching on premiums.

Funny that, the news article says that crowds have dropped from 8000 to 6000 since moving, now who to believe

There is no shortage of parking options if you're willing to park a 15 minute walk from the stadium. I've done it every time I've been to the ground and it's never been a problem.

to be fair, re: the parking, i have been 3 times, once on a coach for the semi final and twice i have driven myself and parked at the airfield, by the time we had walked back to the airfield most of the traffic had dispersed so had little hold ups getting back to the M60.baring in mind that on those 2 occasions there were only 1500-2000 there it might be different with a larger crowd

however i have had issues with the ticketing arrangements which were farcical both times i went for league games,despite arriving at the stadium a good hour before kick off, it took me and a few hundred other giants fans 45mins to get into the ground as most people were unaware you had to buy a ticket before the game, which meant a walk to the other side of the stadium and back,which incidentally, was £2 more than pre bought but yet salford failed to relay this information to supporters.
not only that but the tickets were issued for the north stand and yet the north stand was closed so even more confusion for supporters arriving who didnt know they were in the east stand but had tickets for the north, no one at the stadium or officials of salford relayed this information,it was the stewards who had to tell people to go to the east stand.

i know emails and complaints were sent to salford and they said they were looking into improving this aspect of match day experience.

The time spent on the car park will depend how lucky you get with your parking space. Get stuck behind the away end and you are in for a long wait.

The communication over ticketing and matchday arrangements has been poor as mentioned above. It has been quite unwelcoming all round for many although with the drab concourse areas supposedly getting a sprucing up hopefully things are on the up.

get into perspective you only go once a year . fair play to the fans that will be on there 3rd or 4th visit this yr but you will definately see an improvement , send all complaints to the stadium company , you`ll be doing fans who have to suffer the group 4 idiots for a full season a favour

Went to Wigan's preseason game at Salford 2 years ago and it took about 45 minutes to get off the official car park (there were about 2,000 there IIRC). I've parked on Eccles RL car park for the SL games since with no problems. Though it is a bit of a joke the same problems are an issue when they're about to enter their 3rd season in there. I think this holding cars back to let pedestrians leave is an unnecessary policy, Hudds do it as well and that can be a pig to get away from.

Just to clarify, the stadium isn't owned (yet) by Salford - it is the stadium operating company, under the control of Peel Holdings and Salford City Council, where complaints should be addressed. I'm sure that if Dr. Koukash manages to buy a stake in the stadium he will shake them up a bit, starting with the ticketing issues. Meanwhile keep the complaints coming.

I agree it does seem odd, but I don’t think a cash turnstile is necessary to be honest. Obviously it would a little more convenient rather than purchasing a ticket first, but from my experience cash turnstiles aren’t the quickest due to the handling of money. At least with tickets only, it’s just a case of swiping the ticket and you’re through (they’re even slow as this so imagine them having to work out/hand out change etc – nightmare scenario).

It took me 45 minutes to get out of the Wigan car park a few years back. Didn't really bother me or the other 20000 people there for an RL match that night.

The 3:20 at Southall was won by a Marwan Koucash owned horse probably

I find it strange how fans are bagging the RFL over not promoting the game enough but the same fans never miss an opportunity to moan and talk the sport down.
You know the I won't go to Salford because of the car parking or I'm not going to Wakefield because it's not safe or don't go to Hull the locals might frighten the kids or I'm not giving any money to the bulls because they have been badly run same excuse for London and don't get me started on I'm not going to Saints/Leeds because they have no carpark and the 45 minute wait I had at the DW means I ain't going there again or Wire or Widnes for that matter it's too near the river and in these times of biblical flooding it's not worth the risk.

To all the club's I've named I will make at least two visits this year and hope I can find a St Christopher to protect me!

Just get a grip people you're starting to sound like a bunch of softties

If they do up sticks and move, then i hope they end up at the LSV.
