Yeah but it's not exactly flying a plane over the stadium after winning a cup final. Been a bit obsessed with Cas lately matey. |

Believe it or not the majority of us were more concerned about what was going on during the game be bothered. |

Got to fear for Salford if they do go, it would be just the excuse that the doctor needs to walk away.
That said, given how deep the disconnection between the fans and the club seems to be, would it be the worst thing for them if the fans have to step in and build the club up again, even be it at a lower level with a prolonged period outside of SL.

Yes it would be: the most common statement on here regarding Salford (apart from the lie we do not develop young players) is that we have very few fans. It follows we have a small population from which the persons with sufficient wealth would appear.
(Cue comments telling supporters to put in a £1000 each; as usual we're generous with other people's money.)
There's a very good discussion on fan funded clubs here:

If the good Doctor walks, or if any businessman walks, that club is probably toast. |

I think you are right.
If the other solutions were so easy to achieve, surely Mr Koukash would never have been needed a few years ago.
Of course, everything is easier in hindsight but, Salfords situation would have been better served had Dr K embraced the sport, instead of
being so abrasive from the start.
I know that when Trinity visited the new ground for the first time, not long after he had taken over, there was a good buzz about the place and lots of families with kids were at the game with a decent crowd (around 7000) and Salford won.
Something changed within a couple of months and you crowds dropped back to 3500ish.
Was this down to the accesibility of the ground or drop in form ?
The work done up to that point had been excellent.
Also, how do Sale cope with the access issues and are their crowds much better and if so, why ?

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"
If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

I wouldn't want to swap a Yorkshire team for a Lancashire team (Leigh) so I'd have to say Salford.
There are a host of reasons to back up my reasons why but the most selfish one is that Salford probably has the worst parking situation of any club in SL. It really puts me off wanting to go there.

I don't specifically want any team out - other than the one who loses the requisite amount of games to deserve it.
In terms of impact on SL, Salford would probably be the easiest to take; their idiotic owner has done absolutely nothing to enamour the club to its supporters, and despite all his potential, I'm not sure that he's added anything of value to the sport.

I could weep when I compare how Salford does it with how Sale does it:

Well just take the helicopter then, you'll be home in a jiffy

| Salford for me and not even close, they only have 3 fans all of which were falling over themselves to continuously tell us we were going down and chase would lead them to glory. even with a millionaire owner they offer nothing to the game. Youth development is disgraceful etc etc etc get Leigh in (who more than deserve another crack at SL)and Salford out and we have a better league  |

Really? We're we? All 3 of us? I don't recall saying anything of the sort but you know best.
Genuine question, who has come through the cas academy in recent years?

There's a very good discussion on fan funded clubs here:
Some interesting comments, if slightly on the negative side.
The one recurring theme for me is the smaller clubs who are looking to and blaming the RFL for not bankrolling them with grants. How can they really expect to survive without a sustainable business model? It's like they expect that they deserve to be in existence just because, and it's someone else's fault if they're struggling. This is the big problem in the game, and for me, how better to solve it than engaging with the fanbase to get out into the local area and spread the word to build a genuine community club. You don't need money (or much at least) to do that, just a committed, organised group of people. Once you can get that in place and a club has genuine thriving roots, then that's where you're able to build a sustainable professional model to compete at the higher end of the game.
It probably doesn't fit in with the demand society that we live in today, but that's the difference between doers and naysayers.

I'll answer that one for you :-
Of the current squad regulars - Shenton, Lynch, Milner, Holmes, Massey, Boyle and Maher.
Players featured this season are - Ashley Robson, Tom Holmes, Keiran Gill, Brandon Westerman and Connor Fitzsimmons.
We are giving debuts this weekend to 2 more - Luke Million and Brandon Douglas.
We also have another "coming home" next year in Greg Eden.
So - this season that is a total of 14 academy products. Recent years (depending on what you regard as recent) is probably the same. |
