I think this deserves a thread of its own.

Sunday 15th Feb & The Willows 12pm
Salford City Reds Reserves v St Helens Reserves

After our long lay off (as fans) it's another chance to see the reds in action. Looking at how the team stands there is a chance that the following first team squad could make an appearance:

Turner, Ratchford, Sidlow, Nash (maybe), Marlon Alker, Thornley, Walton, Spencer & Palfrey.

Which should make for a strong line up. If you've got a season tickets it's free entrance, so go on you know it makes sense, get down there and support the young lads.

If we move back to salford in the next few months I'm determined to get to a few reserve games this season.

Think I might drag myself out of my pit for this. I have to ashamedly admit I didn't attend one single reserve/academy game last season even with free tickets. I take it the Tav won't be open for lunchtime drinkies?

Tav is open 10-3

10?!?! A bit early for me but maybe I'll make an exception just this once

Far too early, who the hell gets up for that time on a Sunday

Should be there, i go to most 18s and reserve games to make up for the lack of 1st team away games i attend

Will have to miss it unfortunatly!

Pity about the kick off time, double booked.

must say i watched a load of under18 / under 21 games last season was good well worth making the effort to see a few we have quite a few good players making there way through the ranks !

kick off at 12.00 noon !

any idea of the st helens team and the scorers please?

wasnt free with season ticket had to pay a quid and saw some kids getting turned away with thier season tickets to lol

Good game, Ratchford stood out above everyone else on the pitch. Nice to see a bit of biff aswell

Yeah I was a bit disappointed about that, I think we should have been warned that it was a friendly and thus season tickets wouldn't be accepted.
