Quote: right said father ted "I dont think its as simply as handing out 2,500 tickets to fill the East Stand. The club have done this in the past, Im sure we got crowds of around 8k for Northern Rail Cup games against Swinton and Oldham on a Friday night. How long do the club keep giving the freebies out for before we expect their parents to start putting their hands in their pockets like the hardcore support do week in week out.
Re-establishing the Junior Red Devils would be a good start and reducing the price of kids season tickets. Think we need to offer a package that would not only attract young families but also keep them interested and want to return week after week. Junior Red Devils membership which costs say £50 and gives them a free pass in to every home game and a free home shirt plus stuff like posters and stickers which could also spread the message to school friends when they see kids wearing the Salford shirt. My young girl loved having her photo taken with Ignito but now hes left, whos the new mascot, I didnt see anything unveiled at last nights game?'"

All positive stuff, you could give me hope!

Quote: DogPie "The overall intention of Forever Reds is a good one. The intentions when it was formed were solely to help the club and there are still people involved with that intention. However, if people can't see that some use it to get themselves noticed, and help themselves raise their own profile within the club then they can't see the wood for the trees. Unfortunately, FR is nothing like it used to be and never will be. It also doesn't have to be. It needs a fresh approach and somebody with balls who isn't afraid to do the job of a supporters association and be there for the supporters. It needs somebody who doesn't pussyfoot around the club and the chairman and start speaking truthfully about where the issues are in raising the profile of the club. The hard part is that many at the club won't listen. It needs somebody with a spine. Someone who isn't scared of ruining their own reputation with the people at the club in order to say how it is.'"



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.

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

Quote: Iain "
And for those asking, the next meeting is going to be a Monday towards the end of March - awaiting confirmation on the venue. The plan is to hold 7 fans meetings this year and we're looking at the possibility of moving around different venues around the city.'"


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? icon_biggrin.gif)

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?
