What was meant to be one of the best, most exciting nights of my 40+ years watching Salford is my nadir!
We can't use the excuse that people won't turn up cos we play at the willows, that their cars might get knicked or that they can't get a decent pint!
Well, you may get a decent pint but your car certainly won't get knicked cos there is nobody about to knick it at this new gaff!
In short, after all the hype, the 10 years planning, the utter drivel spoken by fans on here claiming how hard done to we are, only 2700, yes 2700, paying Salford fans turn up!
Before you start, there were at least 1600 Cas fans, 600 corporates and 300 kids for free tkts in a crowd of 5250!
Ah it must have been the weather! Well it didn't stop the 25000 going to Trafford centre the other side of the sewage farm! We don't own the ground, don't get the tkt money, don't get the corporate!
Forgive me for being down, it's a disaster!

People like you make me sick, how dare you use common sense when all around the excepted norm is knee jerk reactions.

For the record on Saturday I thought our defensive line moved up in one more than any time over the past few seasons, thought again like the Wigan game that we put the players on thier back more than I've ever seen us do and thought that Patton showed how much of a threat he is going forward.

As for seeing that Godwin is out I'd be more than happy to let Howarth do as much of the 80 minutes as possible and maybe experiment with Moon and Houldsworth interchanging positions.

I didn't realise you were in the council Pev? Or going to stand for election? As for being good for nothings I can only speak from my own personal experience.

As to who paid for my seat - I will through tax. Where does the council's money come from santa? the fairies? or from unsecured long term loans offset against council tax for the next 30 years, you decide which one.

Gruffy first of all its your opinion that it was an abject performance, I do not agree as considering the conditions both teams performed very well, Castleford better than we did.

I got there early and got parked up quite easily,despite the stewards attempts to make it difficult.

I left early as members of party had to catch a train from Piccadilly at 8.45pm,and I had to take them I didn't see John Merry leave at the same time and again despite the best attempts of the stewards we got away in about 15 minutes.


With regards the corporate seats I spent all my time watching the game not looking at the people in those seats and if when I take up the offer of a hospitality place which I will against Warrington I will please myself where I watch the match from, when I come out from the hospitality suite and if I knew your seat number area I will give you wave.

With regards the councillor's I am a long way off being a supporter of our council but I cannot accept your terminology that all these people are good for nothings as some of the ones that I know(from all parties) put a lot of work in on behalf of the local community and as long as the tickets / meals etc are listed on the expense claims there isn't a problem.

I will of course pay for my own hospitality later in the season!

Guffy i didn't say paid for your seat, responsible for your seat, the council could have quite easily have said no, infact the Lib Dems and the Tories were against it because it wasn't a new members only golf course, but the council will make money from the deal as they can borrow at a lower rate than they lend out, as much as 3.5% - 4.5% difference. So a good deal for the council, no i am not a councillor just know quite a few who work full time as well as sit on the council and the various committees, but not all are the same granted.
