Am I the only regular going Salford fan that is really worried about our move to this stadium.
The team are doing their bit but off the field it's a shambles! Despite very encouraging form at saints and good win at widnes, our crowd goes down after first match when all the excuses were played.....snow, minus 5, on tv, Saturday kick off....shall I go on! After one game in our super league life in a brand new stadium and a whole stand is shut!
Hull brought 2000(min)so with 600 corporates we had 2500 Salford punters max! Can't blame the product or the team or he stadium. We took 400 to widnes and they got over 5000 so their core crowd is double ours and they are proper s....e!
2 things....don't come on here spouting if you don't go to matches and......more importantly.....why can't the management fill the east stand with 2500 kids with free tkts? The residual spend alone would be worth it not to mention showing this great product of ours to a new audience! Off the field need to take a long hard look at themselves.
One final thing, don't try and tell me crowds have gone up compared to fixtures last season.....they have, it's a fact, but we also had over 6000 against hull the previous year and nearly 7000 v Cas in 2009 (at the willows!!!!!)
Sunday kick offs might just be the answer!

I think FR and the people who run It,have done a good job,how would your supporters association work,would It also
be a voice of criticism If that was needed.

Well, Luke Patten reckons Sundays would be better for the crowds. menmedia.co.uk/manchesterevening ... the-crowds

What an interesting article by Luke Patten - a non too veiled criticism of Matt Parrish, clearly there was much more going on behind the scenes that we fans were not aware of.

FWIW I prefer Friday nights as that then leaves the rest of the weekend free, but I do understand the points made by others, Sundays would be better for many families and many travelling supporters

When you say City, I assume you mean Salford rather than Manchester? In which case, may I suggest a few venues?

Lamb Hotel (Eccles) 400 yards from my new flat!

The Hope - Everyone knows where it is! Handy for most Salford residents to get to (10 min walk from my flat!)

The Grey Mare - Handy for the Weaste/Langworthy mob. (& one stop on the tram for me!)

St Michael's/Grapes/Unicorn - Our new catchment area (& on the 67 bus route for me!)

Red Lion/Wellington - Covers the Height & Salford Precinct. (Did I mention it's a 10 min walk from my sister's? )

The Cock (Worsley) - Covers Worsley/Walkden/LH. Couple of nice barmaids last time I went in as well!

Irlam - Any of the social clubs on the main road would make sense.

May also be worth trying to tap into the Sale/Urmston/Partington/Stretford area as well so somewhere like The Wetherspoons in Sale might be an option?
