Yeah I was there. It was about minus 5 IIRC.

And let's be honest half of those who turned uo at The Willows for the Catalans game did it to say I was there (exactly as they did at the Grand Final). I'm under no illusion we get small crowds.

BTW, you and Mr DogPlop are conveniently missing the point that we were forced out of the Willows by Super League who said the ground wasn't up to scratch but have since allowed Wakey and Cas to remain in their ultra modern abodes. Those s are every bit as much to blame for the shambles.

Edit: To clarify I'm referring to those s as in SL and not Wakey or Cas.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and perhaps you should have held your ground (pun intended) and redeveloped the Willows. The 8k average attendance to support your move to the new ground was a club figure as I understand it and was always a big ask.

A triumvirate of you Cas and Wakey would be better placed to resist the mandate of new ground requirements if you worked that ticket together

Btw the previous poster saying that some local authorities should support stadiums like we Wire were lucky well yes we are but Salford's stadium is owned jointly by Salford City Council and came at a cost. The location although not as central as the Willows is there such a thing in Salford, wasn't a big surprise either I just think that you the supporters were victims of a combination of desperation and pipedreams

I miss the willows, it had character none of this breeze block plastic seat e they knock out these days

There were so many inaccuracies it just blended in.

Salford getting 8k?? There is more chance of Warrington winning a grand final

Jog on LeBron you snivelling little turd.

5000 at wilderspool climbed fairly quickly to 11,000 over a few seasons at Halliwell Jones but it wasn't great success on the pitch..

Wire didn't get to a play off final until 2012 but had an 11,000 average crowd by 2005

It was the demographics, the rise and rise of soccer in Manchester........ and the move by Salford to a wasteland............against a fast growing Town with a top RL club as it's leading footy team.........

Because Warrington can still be paying his wages it just doesn't count against the cap anymore

I agree entirely with this, that 10K attendance was for the "occasion" only

Only 3,458 turned up at the penultimate game before that at the willows/weaste...........only 5,424 at the opening of the new Barton ground

In their great 2019 successful run to the grand final improving attendances only managed to peak at 5,393.......

Then weren't the coach and best players easily picked off?

I don't either maybe you were being "wound up"

I don't remember Salford being forced out, only the fact that they got an opportunity for a new stadium that Cas and Wakey didn't get.

They understandably took that opportunity of their own free will AFAIK. Sadly it did not work out

It remained to be seen whether Wakey moving to Newmarket outside the city and on waste ground along the motorway could also have been a big mistake??

Well it shows that you know very little.then Donnyman. Do some research about why we moved and educate yourself.

Out of interest what was your previous username on here? You've obviously been around on RLFans longer than 2 years so always interested to know which previous alias/es you got banned under (like LeBron, Jean etc)
