Who are these people that spend 5 hours at the match !!..you must have deep pockets my friend...

I agree with regards to forever reds! If you did not come on this forum how would you know about it? How about speaking to the club asking to have flyers on the tables in corporate, hospitality. I know for a fact my group of associates have no idea whom and what forever reds are about. Not knocking the idea but if it's just a group of the same cronies who post on here who fail to see wrong in the club, to be honest it is not something I'd like to participate in, in the main it would infuriate myself while trying to do a good deed. Not good for the blood pressure.

We as forever reds have had flyers around the ground we appear in the programme which is given free to the corporates, meetings are/were put in the Advertiser, I have seen "fans" take a forever reds leaflet and then walk a few yards and throw it away. It is not a secret society but a group of fans who care about the club and want Salford to do well, we are critical of the club as well, we take a balanced approach and don't blame the club for all the worlds ills. Even now somebody somewhere will be blaming Salford for the unrest in the Middle East just as one poster on here was blaming the club for the RFL scrapping the U20's. The more fans who get involved the more we can do for the club and the more involved fans are with a club the better it looks to investers, but we are up against the other supporter group the Apathy Reds who seem to be more popular and you don't have to do anything to join them.

Here's on for you then Pev, have FR approached club sponsors, local businesses with regards for sponsorship to help funding? I believe it was Hull KR approached the locals to help fund their juniors to tour to Aus and was done successfully. I understand FR are up against it but I still say the average Salford fan would know nothing what so ever. What about a group of facebook, listing up and coming events, past it on the clubs page. I believe they had over 100 comments on a status recently, so think of all the potential "customers" that could be attracted rather that complaining that only a handful participated.

Programmethrower, FR have in the past approached local businesses to sponsor a calendar which we produced for a couple of years, but the club do one so we were asked not to step on their toes, plus the club were approaching the same businesses as well, so they have already given to the club and they don't have the spare for FR. We have done joint stuff with the players in the past for testamonials which generates quite a bit, so our hands are tied and the sponsor a try is now our biggest fund raiser and pays for equipment for the juniors.
As for facebook I have got bored with it, as somebody pointed out SCR's page has over 7k likes but i would reckon less than a thousand actually know who or what SCR are, people just tend to tick like because it gives them access to more "friends" and quite a few of the large compaines who were in the early days paying for advertising on facebook are now not investing as much because they don't get the returns on investment they had predicted.
To be honest I haven't a clue how facebook works i seem to get some notifications on email and other times i don't and i have only ever seen one debate on SCR on it and i can't find it now even I am a "member" of the group.

I am a member of Forever Reds, It is my opinion that anybody who gives their time and effort to help any organisation
deserves a lot of credit.But I was amazed when I found out just how many members we have,at this time.I was
speaking to someone not a member and I asked him why he had not joined,he said we are just the clubs mouthpiece.
I wonder his that is the opinion of other people and If that is why the membership is so small.I do remember when the
vault closed and we were allocated another room,and had to pay room prices for ale,was a bit much,seeing we were
their supporting the club.
