Didn't I see something online to the effect he was not happy with season ticket sales. How many have been sold as a matter of interest?
Is there a limit to the number of RL clubs / football clubs one person can "own"? He seems to own Salford, has interest in Swinton, wants / wanted to buy Oldham Athletic and the RL club, interested in Leeds United, etc - all according to reports on the internet. Are there more?

Reportedly 2500 season tickets sold so far. Given that the club was a complete basket case last season and is an unknown quantity this season, I'd say that was a pretty fair return, and will almost certainly be the greatest number of season tickets sold for many a year (the club used to keep the figure secret, possibly out of embarrassment). Whether he's genuinely disappointed or just trying to drum up a bit more publicity, we'll never know.
He does seem to be keen to build a sporting empire. The interest in Leeds United is a new one on me, and it seems the Oldham thing was just a passing thought. The Swinton deal looks more likely, and I think he has a meeting with the fans today.

| Marwan Koukash is not the only person capable of generating publicity - Phil Clarke has managed to initiate an 8-page discussion on here with just one preposterous statement. Maybe they're working together.

I’d imagine for some people this would be worse than their neighbours winning the euro millions, you know the one’s they’ve always looked down their noses at.
Long odds on this happening but if it did it would be comedy gold!!

No way near 2500 I'm afraid. Your leader has recently stated Widnes, Bradford and Wakefield have all sold more than Salford. Wakey are currently on about 1900.

He could be not telling the whole truth. Saying x y and z have sold more is a way to mobilze your support to improve their effort to give you the competitive edge.

as I have said, patience isn't this guy's strong point.
He is ME but with 600,000,000,0000,000000,000000,0000 in cash to spend. I am a convert, I love the game, I get frustrated when fans don't flock to games.....I've been at this for nearly 13 years and spent a few grand.......if this guy's got the patience then 2024 is possible!

Yes just over 2500 have been sold, I saw it with my own eyes on the stadium computer when picking up my little boys season ticket, Seems that the recent statement made by Koukash is a ploy to get more fans off their bums and get a season ticket.

On the 5th January Koukash confirmed via his Twitter 2,500 season tickets sold.

Having read your posts it is obvious that you 'get it'.Well done !
If you hadn't been from Leeds and Phil Clarke had not been unlucky with his 'rugby league gods' timing and the player injury,a little chorus,to the tune of 'Knees Up Mother Brown' of 'Phil Clarke's Always Right' may have been suggested for the televised games involving Salford.
No worries.Spontaneity is best.
