I'm sorry but those who say we wont be given a franchise come the time, seem to be living on another planet.
Ok Salford's result's on the pitch are below average, but as pointed out if the RFL were so bothered about results they wouldn't have done away with relegation/promotion. Fact!
Secondly if were to be judged off the field I think some people are forgetting one of the biggest possible positives in our favour which is the BBC moving there HQ to SALFORD !!! that alongside our new stadium/retail park. new signings, youth development program etc gives us a leg up among wakey/cas who as mentioned previously play in a overcrowd geographical area.
I think allot will be determined over the next 12 months but i think St's and Salford's Stadia are the only 2 likely to be completed come the franchise handout.
I wouldnt start the celebrations just yet but I think we have much more reason to be confident over other competing clubs.
And in terms of results I feel 2011 will be Salford's biggest season of improvement which again cant hurt.
