u45d (bob) ure never right

Although not losing anything in terms of money,travel or accommodation - which has already been sorted - I'm a bit disappointed by this decision.

Should there be any inkling of another change - perhaps on 22nd June when the fixture list shows a home game against St Helens and The Boss,(Bruce Springsteen) is at the Etihad Stadium on the same night, - would someone be so kind as to mention it on here at the earliest opportunity,which may be to my benefit.
Thanks in advance.

Bruce has moved his date to the 23rd so he can watch Salford on the 22nd, he knew the clash of dates would effect ticket sales for his concert.

Not sure why we have moved this game. We have never bothered in the past. Have heard the main reason is so 'diehard' city fans the Mcnugget brothers can attend the football on the Sunday.

Cheers, now on the Leigh one as well. Best get boozing plans sorted now

Reds' Communications Manager Paul McNally said: "We have had two FA Cup clashes between the two Manchester sides in the last few months now and you obviously can't ignore the interest there is in the fixture locally.

"The Reds' first competitive game in the new stadium deserves not to be over-shadowed by a football match and we have a lot of fans who will want to see both, so bringing our friendly forward by a day will kick off a fantastic sporting weekend for many Salford people."

"Now fans don't have to choose between two games and our supporters can come along and be a part of a historic event."

reading between the lines, McNally has sorted it so he can get to the City match his first love.
