Quote: Chico "You’d imagine the stand closure was part of the deal the club has struck to keep the rental hike down. They could still be paying more money to the SMC than last year even with this reduction for all we know.
It’s possible isn’t it. But I tell you what, you don’t half find it harder to scratch the money when you don’t have a season ticket.'"
I accept that, just seems odd to me that we'd agree to close at least one stand each game and still need to increase ST's by 30% to cover the rent. Whilst the SMC are a law upon themselves, lets not overlook the fact that they need Salford Red Devils just as much as we need them.
I know we don't have many East Stand ST holders, but I cant see many of them renewing. As I understand it they're being asked to pay the same in 2016 as they did in 2015 but instead to stand behind the sticks in the South? They'd have been much better closing the South and selling tickets, at the prices they have announced today but for the East.
