When did attendances and performances on the field count for anything? They have a new stadium on the way and have the potential to attract all of Manchester haven't they?

It should be pointed out that for a relatively minor sport, and a team from that sport that arnt doing particulary well, and with a Manchester football cup semi final derby on at the same time, its not an outrageous attendance, but its a stupid time and day to hold it!

Sanit Simon's partly right, but our attendances will only pick up when we perform consistently.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

There are no excuses for attendances like that. |

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

There are a few who don't deserve a franchise although I think Salford have a stronger case than most but sadly its mainly based on the new ground.
So maybe it should be Widnes in, and 2 or 3 out with a 12 or 13 team SL...............

this 'its the FA cup semi final today' excuse for a lower than what might be expected crowd is a load of horsecrap. any true salford supporter who really gave a stuff would still watch salford. I support Liverpool FC, but if Widnes are playing the same day there is no contest, im watching Widnes every time.
im sure the same is true for the overwhelming majority of true supporters of rugby league teams.
everyone doesnt suddenly stop going to widnes games just because there is a big football match on. and widnes is full of mancs, scousers and evertonians.
i doubt very much widnes is unique.

| I presume this match was on SKY tv 
Surely Salford wouldn't have planned to play there game at roughly the same time as the areas biggest sporting event for a number of years
Good win BTW , Also good to see the ground taking shape (must admit its a fair trek from the Willows though, are there plans to put on transport during the 'bedding in' period from the Weaste area to Barton). |

you are from widnes, so support widnes first and football second. Most Salford fans will be football fans first and rugby fans second, the timing of this game was a disgrace |
