The above has been done before hasn't it ? I remember Cas Tigers finishing a place above the drop zone but were relegated instead of Catalans in their first year.

Yep Catalans were exempt from relegation to start with to give them time to become competitive, no-one can build a squad if you are promoted in September from the championship and start again in February in SL. there are just not the palyers available. Look at Widnes in their first year back in SL, they were the weakest team but are gradually improving

£8M new North stand is in the process of being built at CP.
That clearly isn't enough for some folks.

Or they can't be bothered to do a bit of basic research.

Well there is that but they must be blind as well as I'm pretty sure it was very visible when we played your near neighbours under a month ago.

It was to those of us who wanted to see it

Saves me starting a new thread entitled .... 2000 or 3986 (after a 100 plus years).

Both shocking attendances, especially as the 2000 looks to be a contrived figure ??

Salford look like the London of the North - wealthy backer, decent ground, no fans (especially as they were playing FC with their 1000's of travelling fans.

to defend the 3986 figure a little yesterday, the game was on t.v. Huddersfield played Widnes couple of week back and managed a mere 500 more & they are a team in second in the league and flying. We are a team at the foot on the league having lost 30 of our last 38. And on the flip side, 750 more there yesterday then the week before. Furthermore, we haven't been around 100+ years.

Fair enough but, Huddersfield attendances are generally poor, especially considering their lofty status in the league.

Touche, only 87 years.

As a Salford fan I admit the promotion and advertising in the city is non existent. If I didn't have a fixture list at home or come on rlfans I wouldn't have known there was a match on yesterday. It needs looking at asap.

An issue you share with us at Broncos. On the positive side, you dont have someone like Gutterfax on your fourm repetitively picking all the issues to bits with forensic attention to detail.

How can that be, surely the often posted 20,000 people a day that drive over Barton Bridge see the signs advertising the games ?
