Quote: Kiyan "While Salford lacks a centre, what it does have lots of is smallish festivals, fun/ family days etc May - September.

I had suggested to Vickers ( which he said was happening, but didn't) was to buy a decent sized side opening trailer, get it professionally wrapped, add a decent LCD TV showing some highlights and big hits and get Mitsubishi to lend us a decent 4x4.

Get it to the festivals with some Academy players talking to people about RL, flyers for the next game, run some competitions to get contact details, have some merchandise and tickets to sell! You could prob even find some volunteers to help for a free top. ( Eg Irlam live is coming up soon, with a decent line up, but I bet the club will miss the opportunity to engage directly with thousands on their doorstep who actually pay to go to events and have some disposable income)

Apart from the festivals get it to media city, the Lowry etc and places outside Salford occassionally and on match days use it as a club shop at the stadium.

My guess is it could be done well for a one off £20-30k which a decent opportunity to get get Raging Bull, Mitsubishi and the Lowry to chip in.'"



You can have all the advertising you want it goes out the window, when you get there and see a load of tripe.

The problem is and always has been simple.Win games,consistently.Make a noise for the right reasons and people will watch Salford.The League table and Cup performance are what sells the Club.If you have a headline which says Salford top the League and or beat Wigan,Leads,Saints regularly.Headlines that say fantastic rugby they will come but not before.Too many false dawns on the playing side

Your in dreamland if you think Leeds and Salford would merge that will never happen:

That's it in a nutshell, and I can't quite believe we're having this debate again. You'll always be able to get crowds through the gate in some hellhole like Castleford or Hull where there's literally nothing to do but grow rhubarb or marry your cousin, but we're never going to get crowds to stick until we've got a successful team. Any marketing effort to see a team finish in the bottom 4 and limp out of the cup is money down the drain.

Quote: middleman "Apathy , who does he play for ? is he Greek ?...

We constantly hinder ourselves,
we have effectively squandered the impact of moving to a new stadium , went bust , then shouted from the rooftops when the new owner arrived , but signed 'unsuitable ' players and wallowed in the lower reaches for the last two years.

finally with a stable coaching set up & a hardworking & effective team , we have lost the drive to promote , and when we do get the opportunity to broaden our appeal & reach out to new fans , its the ' wrong news ' ( 4th rnd loss to Cas - point deductions etc ) .

its not apathy , its resignation .'"


Apathy: lack of interest or enthusiasm! pretty much sums up the Salford public when it comes to watching Salford rugby league club in my book.
