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 ?

I imagine your board will be aiming all the marketing to start for next season, little point in spending money trying to get people to watch a poor team this season. Getting a new fan to come along and see Salford get hammered at home would put that fan off for life!

next year is the start of a new era for Salford, and I hope they really go at it with the marketing.

Yeah I think this year has been written off by most at the club and we're aiming for a fresh start next season on and off the field. A few seasons ago I remember huge posters in pub beer gardens allover Salford, nothing like that happens anymore although i suspect that will change next year, as you say. And Starbug that absolutely slipped my mind about the biggest advertisement we have, the stadium itself on the busiest stretch of motorway in Salford

same goes for huddersfield, marketing of the club,advertising games etc is absolutely non existant.
if more people knew about us and therefore knew we were 2nd in the league then more might turn up?rather than the diehards who would be there anyway.

yeah....much better to ignore it or pretend it's not happening

About a 50/50 split id have said, worrying from a Salford perspective. Hopefully the new coach factor will draw a few fans back

If they splash the cash and build a decent team, there is no doubt that attendances will improve but, unless they actually win something, they will end up like Huddersfield, decent team, poor support.

Problem with that model is A) very few teams win silverware in SL B) Even fewer teams win silverware every year. Of course you will get bandwaggoners who jump on board when you are challenging but building the hardcore of 6-7,000 is what is needed. Game day experience, pricing, fixture times, marketing etc are what are needed as much as signings.

Totally agree with you JB.
The trouble is everyone wants to wave a magic wand and make things rosy in the garden, without doing the hard graft and building on sound foundations.

Spot on, logically there is no limit to the number of fans any club can attract, but the old ' a winning team and they will flood through the gates ' idea is re used over and over by the lazy and unimaginative

100% cast iron clad spot flippin" on!

Yep. Agree. On average, across the league, teams will win half their games. If crowds only come to winning teams, we're just moving attendance figures around.

Nothing puts bums on seats better than star players with skill, or other box office ( like being experts at annoying rival fans). Even if they're losing!

Still only a short term fix , Constant marketing and community work is the only long term option in building a fan base
