Funny how when I compared different Saints vs Wakey attendances from the past you were only interested in the most recent attendance of 2012.......suddenly now 'the lowest EVER' counts....

Salford season tickets actually went on sale over a week AFTER the first home game.

| I am thoroughly enjoying this thread. I'm enjoying the trolling, and loving the fact that there are fans on here that are clearly getting their digs in while they can, as the potential at Salford is huge... as is the jealousy. We could be on the verge of something big and there are fans who clearly can't bear the thought of seeing a good Salford side competing in SL.
I never even expected a win this season, so each time we get one... it feels great... I don't care how many people come to watch it... I was there and I enjoyed it... as did my family.
Yes it was played by the two poorest teams in the competition... but I'll tell you what... give me that Salford - Cas game above any game of Union I've ever seen... and that sport pulls in thousands.
This sport is not put down by the lack of people attending a game... it's put down by the so called fans who claim to support it... but get no bigger joy that bad mouthing it.

| Do you want to give some credit to the fans who are defending you too?

It was actually one DAY before the season started and, unlike previous seasons, there was no direct debit option.
Jeez, there are some bile-filled wits on here!
EDIT: Iain was right the season tickets only actually went on sale AFTER the first game.

No common sense allowed! You know the rules!

Owch! Just makes it even harder for the marketers. Next season can't come quickly enough for them now I guess.

| Why was Phil Veivers fired by the Good Dr K? He was fired 4 rounds into the season that many are now saying has already been written off.......make your minds up guys. Either CashCow wants immediate response to his funding or he doesn't.
By the way, are you suggestion that all those that would have bought a ST earlier have now spent that cash elsewhere? Fans are fans......they turn up to watch their team regardless of league position or potential results going against them....and it would seem that Salford have managed to lose a fair few, despite Dr CashCow promising the moon and stars.

| The danger for Dr Kalashnikov is that former fans get into the habit of not attending. Added to the history of false dawns and a stadium that's not on your doorstep anymore all adds up to a risky presumption that they're all going to come flooding back - all 5,000 of them. Then he's got to add another 5,000 to make it all viable.
It's not impossible but rather a project for a patient man.

Hardcore support, yes. The rest, no.
Not your strongest argument ever.

Salford need Dr CashCow to be happy to plough 2 or 3 million in for 10 years or to find 7-8k gates in a hurry if this new dawn is to be the real deal....30,000,000 investe over 10 years...he'd better see some form of ROI.......

EDIT
Season tickets went on sale a week after the first game the only people who got theirs earlier were people who bought the five year season ticket in the last year at the willows, and I think that was only a couple of days before the season, the general public season tickets went on sale the week after the Wigan game as I has to pay on the gate v Wigan and then wait until a new direct debit finance application was sorted out by the club which took about 4 weeks. Other fans just haven't bothered getting season tickets this year and tbh can't blame them after all the rubbish they've been through at the start if this year.

| No point in Salford pushing the boat out on the marketing front until the team improves.
last nights game was like watching an under 8's fixture with both sets of players running after the ball like a flies chasing poop, every pass a 'Hollywood' pass and no interest at all in defence.
Noble will sort this out though I'm sure, and combined with a big name arrival or two for next season...will get crowds boosted quite quickly.

Completely true, what have they got to market at present? A shocking team that is second from bottom, you can't polish a turd. Now if they sign or produce a big player or become competitive and challenge the big teams they have a basis on which to entice the public to watch them.
