| With crowds of less than 2000 (particularly against the might of HKR) and being in the bottom couple they just don't deserve to be in the League
Get rid of them now.

| So are London and Widnes, but are we going to get rid of them too?

| If it went on for a few years at that level and there was no evidence of anyone having a clue to turn it around, I agree. But let's see what the new guy (you know, the one that Nigel Wood single-handedly saved the club by finding) does this year. If he doesn't nothing, we've been sold a lemon, but I think he'll start turning it around.

You'd think that would be what fans would be saying, given what they say repeatedly about London. But it seems they are not.
Personally, I would rather both London and Salford stayed in Superleague. I wish that another Koukash could be found for London.

| Except David Hughes doesn't appear to actually want London to succeed. If he does he has a very strange way of going about it.

| Doubt they will get rid of them with a multi-millionaire owner. Although the crowd last night was disappointing, you have to look at the facts. Salford haven't been that successful on the pitch last few years. All the talk is that they were heading for administration during the new year, they couldn't sell any season tickets. Yesterday's kick off time is possibly the worst for attendance figures. Last night was a poor crowd, but with a successful team, fans will come back and I think under their new owner, Salford could become very successful.

| When at your lowest you can always rely on other fans / media to kick you in goolies. Salford have barely been able to put a team together this year but they've done their best. I believe that season tickets weren't even available pre season? With that & a sunday night k/o on tv, it's understandable the crowd was low. In fairness the club should be celebrating a fantastic victory last night when they were dead and buried. On the flip side, if I was coach of KR, i'd of had my players in at 6am today to go through the post-mortem.

As a Wakey fan I remember it well and now look at us and we haven't even got a new ground (yet).
It just takes leadership and a change in fortune.

They weren't available until the season had already started - anyone buying a season ticket got a discount if they had bought a ticket for the first match at home to Wigan.

| I think if any teams are going it will be London and possibly Cas if what their ex chairman was saying is right.
Salford need money injecting and someone with a business head to start getting things sorted on and off the pitch, both of which they have got.
Give them a season or two and compare the difference.

Loving all the negativity about my beloved Salford. Last nights crowd was poor I have no defence for that although there are a few points that need to be considered.
*the club was only taken over the day before our opening match
*season tickets have only been made available a couple of days before this fixture
*we have been heavily beaten for the first 3 games of the season
*the game was 6 o'clock on a Sunday so families are unable to bring children
*we are at least 6 months behind every other super league club in plater recruitment due to disrupted per season so it's taking longer to field a competitive team
We are at the start of a new project under Dr Koukash if people expect us to be having crowds of 10,000 + after 4 weeks of new ownership then they are living in a dream world. Lets have a look at the situation in a couple of years before comments like this. Hopefully we can improve attendances week on week and with results like last night with a skeleton squad then who's knows what can happen this season when we add more quality to the squad

You need a full stop on the end of that sentence.
