As a Salford supporter I expect a licence to be awarded to the club for the one and only reason that with the new stadium is RL's final chance to make any progress in establishing a significant presence in the Manchester area.

Over my lifetime of watching the sport, RL's meagre presence in Liverpool has been eradicated and the clubs in and around Manchester i.e. Salford, Swinton, Rochdale and Oldham are shadows of their former selves. The latter 3 have lost their grounds for one reason or another with Salford only retaining its status, though that is diminished from when my father first started taking me to the games, due to the support of the directors.

There are those that point to Salford and say that we a club in the heartlands of the game. Personally I would say that is no longer true and question whether it ever was the case.

If RL can't get on firmer footing in Manchester then what hope is there of it being a minor regional sport.

Not concerned about this is in the slightest...

The plans drawn up are a watercolour painting.... and all they are doing is throwing a roof on a couple of areas.

Clubs more than 20 miles from any other Super League club will be awarded a point.

Salford = Fail !

God the RFL really pi$$ me off! I can see it now, all their board members set round a table thinking 'How can we give Crusaders,Harlequins and Catalan Dragons a FREE Point?', Shithouses!

Commercial, Marketing, Media and Community.

i actualy think we might score quite high in this area better than last time anyway
