Some sort of banner or sign facing the Barton bridge would also make sense. I have spoken to quite a few who drive past on the m60 everyday and have no idea who plays in the stadium. Often having no idea who SCR actually exist and what game they play.

Also if they are closing the unreserved seating in the east stand, they need to make some available in the west, I know a couple of St holders that have wanted to bring friends to game but cannot sit next to them and that kinda puts new people off coming if they are sitting on their todd.

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?
