The simple answer is yes, yes it does matter.

Whether it makes a personal difference to you is a different issue. We've announced a raft of new signings and there is so much positivity around the team it's unbelievable, and I'm absolutely loving it. The stadium in general however is a massive elephant in the room. It's been said countless times that we need to own the stadium to improve our financies - this is yet another example of how far away that dream is.

The naming right's alone isn't the single issue here. It's the lack of identity to the name Salford in a stadium in Salford, designed and built for a Salford team and the fans/community of Salford. Whilst we may play there, we really don't have any obvious affiliation or say in what goes on there. It's a sad indictment of where we were as a team & a club when we moved into it.

There stadium is now branded up, do think it was nice of them to get the local special school to do the banner that has been thrown up. Looks like Bell's might have run out of money and done the signage on the cheap.

What Sale did to Stockport is common knowledge and has been written about many, many times. The info is out there, it's even appeared on here before now if you care to do a bit of rummaging. Funny how no one's ever been taken to task by Kennedy when they have written about it, eh?

I wasn't condoning what Kennedy apparently 'did' to Stockport, but, surely the relationship between Sale and Salford is a different kettle of fish?

DREARY ME blue seats

What are the chances Mr Koukash will purchase or part purchase SCS from Peel/SCC? I really hope he does and rips out the blue seats.
