I thought I was being realistic based on Wire and Hulls surge in crowds

But I was wrong, and I am sorry for that maurice.

Why is it stupid? Warringtons crowds were pretty much the same as Salfords are now before they moved stadium. Warrington and Salford are both Rugby League towns/cities. Salford being the larger of the two. I don't see what's stupid about it. What Birmingham has to do with it i'll never know, maybe you don't want to actually have a discussion like an adult, that's why you add immature little comments on the end of your posts.

Name me 3 big junior clubs in Salford with 300 plus members.

A business doesnt grow if it doesnt have a market, Salford may eventually create one but both Wire and FC had them in waiting. It is my pleasure to educate the teenagers being so badly taught by todays system.

Not a clue how to find out membership numbers for you but in Salford you have Folly Lane. Eccles and Salford juniors. Langworthy Reds. New Broughton Rangers. Cadishead Rhinos. Irlam Hornets. South Trafford Rangers.

Also in Manchester you have Manchester Storm, Manchester St.Peters, Mancunians RL and i'd say Salfords the closest to Bury Broncos too.

lol going to be funny when you get proven to be so wrong

salford are getting 5000 in a poor ground and with a poor team

once both those turn around then saying thell get 10,000 isnt much of a stretch

Wakefield are averaging alot more with a poorer team in a poorer stadium, once Newmarket gets sorted Wakefield will grow both on and off the pitch more than and other club previous belle vue has held us back so much

Been on google ? Have you ever been to any of those clubs and compared them with junior clubs in Wire/Hull ? Folly Lane is in Swinton FFS, thats like Leyth claiming St Pats - clueless kids with broadband.

and I hope I am wrong, I love RL and want a strong Salford but the reality is they have years of hard graft ahead to get 5000 home fans.

Keep praising the emperors clothes.

their current crowds are 5000 ...

indeed crowds are rising at the willows

i dont get the negativity frankly ...its kinda depressing reading it

the crowds salford get now are only the hard core ones

the ground doesnt help attract new fans and the team is weak

mainly bottom 6 for decades really

with a stronger team and better ground it will increase a lot ..as it has with pretty much every other club who has gotten a new ground

i dont know how long but they will break 10k

im hoping its in 5 years of the move to barton, maybe sooner if they push cheap season passes

Hope you're right. Wakey is a potentially massive club.



No I havn't been on google. Folly Lane is in Salford City council. Unlike the two Manchester football clubs you were talkimg about earlier. Cheers for calling me a kid though, i'll take it as a compliment.

Why would Leigh claim St Pats as a Leigh club when St Pats is in Wigan? I could understand if Wigan wanted to say Miners or the East were in Wigan as they are under their council.

The 5000 includes 2 of their biggets gates in Wigan and Saints, the 5000 includes away support. Salford have a core SL base around 3-3500 max, any Salford fan will tell you that.
The reality is we shouldnt be killing some clubs so others can survive, we must grow our great game by inclusion not exclusion, unity not division and we must grow our target market from within and a single unified vision
