v Warrington....On SKY.......Last year 6,260. Could be the straw that breaks the Camels back if he get's less than last year.

Offering cheap tickets is fine, though is question why that cheap, but the crucial part is who is being offered them, who knows about the offer, what else is done to encourage attendance, and what will be done to try and retain those who take advantage of the cheap tickets?

If none of that happens then the crowds won't increase much, if at all, and you've just lost a load of money.

Agreed, marketing is more than just free entry for kids and cheaper tickets!

Have a word with Hughes when you see him Pete

He's only offered locals in the immediate vicinity cheap coupons (and I think that initiative has come from Barnet FC rather than Hughes' team), for a self made millionaire he really is clueless, lmao.

I believe the Times' 'Rich List' was published recently. Anyone see if Dr K got in this year?

He didn't make the list. But he's a billionaire you know. Honest.

Salford the new Broncos. Getting desperate

Malcolm Allison did similar for Manchester City during his tenure. For them it created a very loyal following through some very hard times. Get em in young!!! It's not the answer, but i applaud the efforts.

Think people need to be realistic , even when we had a semi decnet team the crowds weren't massive , definitely not the 8K which gets mentioned as a minimum. I'm a season ticket holder and so far this year we've played on a Thursday at 8 , Saturday at 3 , Sunday at 1 + 3 , Fridays at 8 . It makes the commitment to get one next year waver a bit as having a 9 year old who plays 3 sports my commitment is to get him to and from his games. That said , we've lost the last 4 including one against a team in the division below , the stadium and location is what it is and on Friday the traffic and weather was anightmare to get to the ground BUT I still got there. There is a level of apathy but being a Salford fan for as long as I can remember we've never challenged for much so to expect people to just decide to turn up is wishful thinking , it's a steady improvement with building on solid foundations that will do it , not quick fix signings , twitter rants etc. I'll still turn up as it's the team I support , it's the 50/50 or 40/60 people we need to get on board and good match day experiences will get those people but consisent match day experiences

I think you'll find there were very few Salford fans that took that opinion but it's far easier for you to generalise as you've probably encountered 3 or 4 of those aforementioned gobes. While we're on the subject of gobes, any chance you can take the likes of jools and meast back to your board? Thanks in advance.

Jesus Christ there are some obsessed fans on here. Let's just leave RL to the handful of teams that can pull 6k every match and throw the world conquering Leigh RLFC into the mix.

go back to the Salford board at the time he took over, it was cringeworthy at times.....

This 'inundation' sounds quite avoidable.
