"says nothing at all" a bit like your post then really? Read my post again I think that is what I was saying, over the thread two Warrington fans discussing Salford's plight and quite sympathetically IMO rather than simplistically rubbishing your club and you select half a line to prove what point?
So on reflection your post far from saying nothing at all perhaps says it all

And as I live 25 miles away from headingley and 3 Rl clubs are closer to home for me I just see driving to any game home and away as just part of the game day. If Cas ever get the new stadium I will use the short rail journey, but can walk from my parents house to Cas ground anyway. I can probably see why home fans get a bit miffed if public transportation to the stadium is poor, but surely the entire Salford fan base was not 800m radius from the willows and people still had to drive before, surely for a number of fans the stadium is now closer.'"
I agree a 5 mile move shouldn't be that difficult to replan and whilst it might put a few off it might make it more likely for others to go or certainly make it easier for those Salford citizens in Cadishead, Irlam, Eccles, Patricroft Peel Grean Worsley

Scatalan tried that, and the driver was singing to himself.

Five miles might not sound a lot, but imagine if we had moved five miles away from Wilderspool, thus taking us right out of the centre of Warrington. Would we be getting five figure crowds? No chance. I travel to home games (from Didsbury) and obviously we would have our core who would go anywhere as long as it was still technically Warrington, but in the grand scheme of things we'd be a minority. Premier League football clubs would easily survive such moves, but clubs at a more community level - not just RL clubs - that don't have Premier League football sized fan bases don't have such flexibility.

Really? What does it say?
No Salford fans have joined in this thread because no Salford fans bar a handful read this site (cue the moronic quotes of "Salford fans" and "handful"icon_wink.gif.
I read the last paragraph differently than you suggest you intended it to read.
My bad.

| i went along yesterday, car park fee wasn't too bad as there were 4 of us to share the cost. Took 5 minutes to get away after the game. To be fair most of the crowd had left well before the end though. thought the crowd as a little on the disappointing side as salford had started well, the WCC being on might have led to a few neutrals like me attending, and leeds brought a reasonable number with them

| To be honest why can the club or fan group arrange a coach or coaches from the willows? And have it preferentially parked for an easy exit? We're talking a couple of quid a person maybe sell it as part of the tickets?

Good on you, as well. There are plenty on here that dont actually go to ANY games but, just love to moan.
Could have done with Salford beating Leeds though, Trinity are at their place next week and I was hoping that we'd catch them lacking in form.

I thought you had done 30k trips in a taxi to the games?

I think we all know that's botty talk isn't it Barry? You've got more profiles on here than I've had hot dinners (although being a pauper from Salford that isn't many I have to admit ).
