I have only just joined this site so this is my first posting. I have been a Salford supporter for 40+ yrs. Now having spent the last couple of weeks trying to unravel the complicated membership system for the new season & having decided to purchase a so called season ticket,I now find that it is impossible for me to get to the ground.
The club at the present moment are not putting on any transport from the Willows area. I haven't got access to a car & I have researched all public transport. The No 10,67 & 100 buses timetables after 6pm weekdays & all day Sundays are only every hour & not compatable with match times.
The No 10 bus only goes to the Brookhouse Estate which is a 10-20 mins walk so returning from a Friday night match you would miss the last bus at 10.20pm unless you can run that is !!!!! Not good for an elderly woman travelling alone.
There is a more frequent No 100 which runs to the Trafford Centre but then I would have to get from there back to the Willows & the No 67 bus which passes the ground is practically non-existant.
So even though I did want to go to the new ground (reluctantly I might add) It seems that it is out of the question.
I have brought this to the attention of the Club & have pointed out that there are others with the same problem & the new pricing as well so I would be grateful if anyone knows of a solution please.

some keys missing from your keyboard?

More like a brain missing from his head.

Although I do have a car it is not always available to me, also having been within walking distance to the willows travelling on my own the cost of petrol & parking would add considerable cost to my journey & I also do not feel able to cope with the chaos there will be trying to get into the car park & out again.
I considered public transport as as a pensioner I do get free bus travel at the moment but obviously this is not an option however I would be prepared to pay a reasonable amount if some transort was laid on in my area or if someone would car share perhaps.
Anyway having said that I was sad for not watching the Simpsons I think I maybe more SAD for continuing to watch Salford for over 40yrs for the way the club is run & for the way they do treat their loyal fans...........

MargieH alas unlike the old days when many of us used to just walk round the corner, me from Langworthy many of the season ticket owning supporters don't live close to the ground anymore, I reckon and this is just a quess the majority possibly live in the M27 and M30 postcode areas.
I concur that something must be done to get supporters to the new ground but if only 10 people want the transport and not a 100 then the club are in a difficult position. Look at Man City they moved from a mainly blue area Moss side to a mainly Red area Bradford and increased their fans base because they noticed that the local residents were not season ticket holders and the majority lived in other areas, there is still poor public transport links to the ground, with many walking up from Piccadilly.

I do agree about walking to the ground but years ago public transport was not as few & far between as it is now also I do know that quite a few people are finding it difficult but if Salford themselves who are trying to get more support do not help themselves & at least listen & try to accomodate at least some of the loyal fans from this area then they won't be getting new ones either.
