Whilst this may not be the club / stadium company’s fault it is a massive wakeup call as to the actual position we are in as a club. We no longer have an identity a place we can call “home”. The moral of the fans and the relationship between the fans and club is at breaking point if this fixture goes ahead at Leigh for a lot of people it will be the finally nail in the coffin. Playing home games at Leigh regardless of who’s fault it is a true kick in the teeth for fans.

The club however only have themselves to blame for the way the fans are feeling now. Time after time they fail to produce where it matters both on the field and off the field. They need to pull off a miracle in the off season if they want to get fans back on side, however no matter what they do I don’t believe it will be enough, promise after promise , idea after idea , and every time us the fans gets let down. People have really now had enough. We are at the moment on a shoestring budget with all out best players leaving and if/when in the off season fans of years are not renewing season tickets what sort of position does that leave us in for next season and so on, this has the potential to be a major disaster for the club and on what is an already rolling snowball I feel if the fixture at Leigh is confirmed this snowball will get bigger and faster in the off season when people don’t renew.

This season was one the club had to get right in order to generate interest at the new stadium, they have yet again failed miserably and almost everything has gone wrong that could of.

The club said season tickets info for next year will be available for next year at the last game. Yet again it is not going to happen and playing at Leigh you are going to lose around a potential at 2,500 Salford fans who would have been there at Barton, great. We can’t afford to be letting potential customers slip through our grasp like this.

The only way out of this for is new owners and fast. I honestly fear for the clubs future however most of the problems have been foreseeable and could of in many cases been avoided had Salford of acted in the way they should of.

Why ?

Because the decision to upset 3000 people rather than 20 odd thousand and a whole lot more viewers....

Quote: u45d "The reply.
Whilst your frustration at the change of venue for the Stobart Super League Round 27 fixture, Salford City Reds v Wakefield Trinity Wildcats is understandable, please be assured that it is not the case that ‘no consideration was given to supporters.’



The scheduling of televised Super Leaguer fixtures can sometimes create thorny issues, not least in the latter half of the season when matches are selected because of their relevance to the race for the play-offs/the battle for the League Leaders Shield etc.



This is further complicated when the matches involve host clubs who do not have full ownership of their home venue. However there have been very few instances where a club has had to find an alternative venue due to broadcast requirements, but unfortunately it can happen – the last time was three years ago when Wigan Warriors switched a play-off fixture against Bradford Bulls to the Stobart Stadium in Widnes.



Where possible, the RFL and Sky Sports work closely with the Super League clubs to minimise disruption to supporters. An example of Sky being flexible came last year when a play-off tie involving Wigan was rescheduled from Saturday evening to Sunday because Wigan Athletic were using the DW Stadium on the Saturday.



However in this case, circumstances combined to mean that no such switch was possible

got the same answer, ask for another answer not one from sky

Interesting that Sale's media bod (and ex RL media bod) Dave Swanton was fairly vocally blaming the situation on the RFL on GMR earlier.

That was from John Ledger from the RFL, I`m assuming by your post you get the same reply from Sky.

While John Ledger could`nt wait to bugger off when he was questioned about the timing of our game and that of the Cats V Bradford game.
