The situation at Salford is not good at all. The club will be lucky to crawl across the line until the end of the season without hitting administration. God only knows what will happen next season. Wigan have really helped Salford by taking Matty Smith in order to clear the debt owed to Daniel Holdsworth. They gave Salford over the odds more as a favour to Salford to get them out of the you know what. Normally, Salford would have perhaps taken a couple of fringe players at Wigan in return, but they couldn’t afford to pay them. Back to Holdsworth, he really wants out for next season. He is targeting a return to Australia and has made certain people over there aware of this fact. The club is in a mess. It has been poorly managed for years as we all know, and it is catching up fast. Those running it day to day, from the top, over the last few years have to take responsibility now. Nobody wants to invest in or buy the club. It’s not as bad as what is happening at Bradford, but it’s pretty bad all the same. This isn’t something that Forever Reds will be able to sort out either. It’s too much for a quick fan bailout, and they don’t have the clout. This needs a serious investor and fast.

If you want to avoid administration you might need to get better ticket office staff...

I went to the ticket office to buy a wheelchair access ticket for the Semi-Final yesterday (about 15 minutes before kick off) only to be told they were completely sold out. Every last space.

I couldn't believe this and I drove all the way over from Leeds (via Keighley) to get to the game so I thought it was worth a shot at blagging my way in with my media pass (That I used for Keighley v York).

Much to my suprise the steward let me straight in, and I found a free spot straight away. While I was there I counted at least 25 unused wheelchair spaces during the game.

I was happy to pay £28 for a ticket, but ended up getting in for free... A little win for me there.

PS - Thats a cracking little stadium you have there, don't let anyone tell you any different!

So all that in the papers with McGoldrick loaning the club money and taking reduced pay was pie in the sky then?'"

Don't take this the wrong way as I'm most certainly not mocking, but you were lucky as people with babies/young children arn't allowed in with there mode of transport as buggies are banned from the stadium. So for instance a baby unable to walk is either carried for the full "show" or the parent/carer is discriminated against by being refused access.

That's 2012 Salford stadium management style.

Considering there's a very decent amount of space around the edge of the pitch for wheelchair users, thats pretty poor form from the SMC!

Not to mention the family area in the east stand, incorporating a lift to get such modes of transport into the stand. Well thought out in the design/build process then handed on to morons.
