Quote: BartonFlyer "I'm not sure now on the 8,000 - I don't think it was stated either way that it was still 8,000 in the "robust plan" or had been reduced so my assumption is that the plan remains at that level.
Yet more evidence why, if there is to be fans involvement we need to get moving and actually understand the situation fully.
Re FR status - thanks for the clarification Iain, I'm no lawyer so I don't understand the significance, but my question remains - would FR be in a position to assist in the way I've suggested?'"
Without trying to sound smug I posted on here at the begining of the clubs tunure at barton that your then Cheif Exec had clearly stated that 8000 fans was the breakeven figure required at Barton, only to be shot down by many on here as this being incorrect. sadly from your clubs point of view it wasn't and has contributed to the sad mess your club is currently in.
I, as stated by another Lions fan sincerely hope you get a solution which keeps Salford playing Rugby League. The loss of any club is a disaster to Rugby league especially with the current strength of Rugby Union.(albeit not in Sale's case).
At long last it seems that some of your support is now getting a march on to start fund raising via a trust vehicle and I hope you are sucessful in raising the 600K needed.
