i meant in Salfords case as their fans that i used to speak to etc were always adamant that it was the Willows holding them back and a new stadium would bring them flocking in .....obviously it hasn't.

A new stadium owned by salford closer to the Willows would prove more successful than the SCS , just as Hilton Park provided Leigh with better financial results than the LSV , it isn't about the bricks and mortar , its the income streams that are the important bit

Huddersfield are a good example why salford will never be more than a medium size club

Someone has to be dropped to make way for Toulouse in 2015. It will either be Salford or Castleford.

I suspect Castleford, and I hope Castleford, because their stadium situation is unacceptable after 9 years of warnings. But if Mr Koukash walks away from a sinking ship late next year, then it might be Salford.

I know you're trolling but I'll still bite as there's an element of truth to the Toulouse SL push.

Why? Why should Toulouse get in? Another home game for 12 clubs with only half a dozen visiting supporters, a lame atmosphere and almost zero club income, and another away game asking supporters to fork out hundreds to go and watch. Yet another forced artificial team full of second-rate journeymen Aussies no-one gives a sh*t about. Haven't we learnt this lesson yet?

Yes, it would mean a nice derby for Catalans but at a cost to everyone else. If we have to, get rid of London, that other artificial team full of Aussie journeymen. At least other SL clubs won't feel the pinch as much.

Otherwise, take your Toulouse and shove it. We need income and interest at SL games, and even if Salford only bring 500, that's a few grand more in club income than Toulouse will bring, more fans engaged in supporting their team, and the game itself is more of a draw. The game in the heartlands needs strengthening rather than forcing more weak expansion clubs yet again. Get the wavering heartlands thriving and then invest elsewhere.

Oh, and it won't be Salford who leave SL. With their new backer they have a very promising future and Nigel Wood's involvement in the Koukash takeover guarantees they'll remain.

JESUS FUCKING WEPT....

average "away" attendance is between 350-750 fans...let's go top end with 20 notes a ticket at another score spent on "fun stuff' like beer....that's 30k in lost revenue.
London Broncos, one of the worst run clubs (if not THE worst) turn over 4 million.....so basically,away fans attending games at other stadiums account for less than 1% of clubs turn over.
The smokescreen laid by the CEO's who are struggling to carry on propping up their clubs is bollox ....Away fans = minor losses.......

Clubs in SL have a responsibility to fill their own stadiums....they shouldn't rely on anyone else to do it for them.

What 2 Kids ?
And they looked a bit old , like Angus Young without the Guitar ...
KR have a great away support, love their club and support them when the matches are played at a logical time

Any credibility this topic might have had evaporated with your affiliation.

The new CEO is under no illusion as to the task ahead of him to rebuild the image of the club & market it effectively to the Salford & Manchester conurbation , and the emphasis is on the pitch as much as the facilities, but I digress for this isn't a topic worthy of actual common sense .
I think most True RL fans would wish us well and look forward to Salford being a much more competitive operation in the future

personally I would have held back until after Friday when London's massive away support causes havoc with our road & parking arrangements .

can we leave the meter running?

Few more times than once old luv

Far be it from me to say something positive about our neighbours but their travelling support (and ours) is as good as any in the league and is certainly better than yours.

Rattled Much? There are extenuating circumstances as to why the crowd was low. Yes it was disappointingly low but given the (lack of) pre-season, three defeats in a row of 40+ scores amongst other things. It's disappointing but not surprising.

The club is going through a massive upheaval at the moment, good things are happening.

So enjoy your little troll moment we are a team where the only direction is up.
