The problem lies with the fickle, stick-with-tradition-and support-United, procrastinating Salford public.

It's the years and years of ingrained belief that "if you're from Salford you must follow the football" mentality, despite Salford and surrounds never ever having any kind of serious soccer fraternity. Salford [iis[/i technically an RL city.

i don`t get you 1 bit worzel , you said on the turkey you`ve just switched to league from watching sale , your not a salfordian you havn`t watched salford as a fan yet and your procrastinating about what being a salfordian is all about , love to know what you base your knowledge on , you used to be able to see old traffords floodlights from all over salford , salford docks were right next door , as is ordsal a tough council area why wouldn`t they watch united , if you dont like us stop trying to be 1 of us and talking crap in our name

I dont understand Worzel either, Salford is and always has been the closest town (obviously it is now a City) to Old Trafford. Salford has been and always will be a Manchester United and football town/City.

It's been a city since 1926. I would wager a lot that there are very few people alive who distinctly remember its status as only a town. I'd say you would have to be 93 and very alert.

RFL advertising to replace halibut?

He does have some very interesting views for someone who's new to RL and Salford, doesn't he? Seems to 'know' far more than you'd expect...
