| I don't think we could attact a crowd of 8,000 down at the Willows even if we had 'TAKE THAT' out on the paddock....
But joking apart 'wardleyred' your spot on we need to get more bums on seats at our games...Now how the club are going to do this is anybody's guess...

Yes and with being in Super League I was expecting decent attendances from away fans, but sadly away fans have not been turning up for one reason or another this season.
In my opinion we've had it playing at the Willows and hopefully when we do move to Barton one day we will attract a lot of new fans and of course all of our stay away fans hopefully will return.

In my opinion we've had it playing at the Willows and hopefully when we do move to Barton one day we will attract a lot of new fans and of course all of our stay away fans hopefully will return.
Clearly "The Willows Factor" does affect a lot of away fans - the stories (true or not!) about car vandals and local scrotes does put a lot of visitors off - so a move to Barton should definitely improve on that.
However - I do wonder about your statement "...we will attract a lot of new fans..." - is there really an untapped pool of folk willing to pay out good money to watch RL? Certainly if we start to put in better performances and challenge for the play offs, challenge cup etc then the "stay-away fans" may well come back, but I think the existence of the new audience is a bit of a myth unless the RFL (not just Salford) does something extraodinary & innovative.
All clubs need (not just Salford), I think, to be getting their average attendances up towards the 10,000 mark to be able to sustain a viable business model - how to do that without bringing in the hooligan tendancy (as in football) will be a massive challenge.
One interesting fact - Manchester Storm hold the record for the largest ice hockey attendance at a UK league game, set on February 23 1997, when 17,245 people watched a match against Sheffield Steelers. Now there's a challenge - Match That !!!

The storm were quite succesful tho during that time tho wernt they? And im sure sheffield were their main rivals Even i went to watch a few games to see if anything we could nick and use at salford.
I think its a mixture of things are needed to increase our attendances:
1) win more games home and away - might sound obvious but results matter a lot of people look at our results, i have a mate who doesnt come to salford but looks for the result and texts me after match, we win more matches we'd be further up the table so that fair weather / challenge cup fan might see us in or around a playoff place and think ''oh ill go'' regardless how entertaining we are.
2) become a bit more media savvy, watched the superleague show today and they had a part called king of the kickers why wernt we there? It didnt have to be rachford or smith or wilshire could have been a random youth team player but us being there would have given us a spotlight
i remember this also happening regarding our mascott at the superleague launch we had no represtation.
3) In the ground we are moving forward, we can go in the club before during and after the match and can order any drink you want to take outside, might sound reaily mad but its near impossible to get any alcholic beverage which isnt beer or bitter in most superleague grounds.
4) Being positive in our media stories, i cant wait to hear who we have signed next season normally happens november or december but its going to happen during the season which is great.
For next season when the new kit is out before christmas a picture in the men, the advertiser and the league express preferbly being worn by our new sighnings would be nice.
5) Us fans help to promote the club even little things like fixture lists in our local pubs, trams or trains we travel on each day, taxis posters in your window or newsagents we live amongs the people we are talking about lets try and get their attention.

| We got higher crowds last season due to the Golden Angel.
We have tried any number of things to get even the locals in but they aren't interested. I think we would have more luck with the Uni students.
Why not have a mini season ticket of some random number of vouchers, so they can attend during term time.

| Here's a great Idea
Lets try advertising next year !!
Last time we were in super league there were Boards up out side the Hope advertising a Game on flyers on lamposts letting people know there was a game on. Since then the last two years have had nothing.
At times you wouldnt even know theres a game on
. And what has happened to the school scheme ? I thought that was a good idea to get them interested in rugby and particulr salford at a young age(even if they were annoying with there hooters blowing every 5 mins)
i think there is a hell of alot more that can be done for next year and I hope that the people responsible get off there ass and do something about it

| The main problem with marketing that salford have to face is that football man utd down the road and manchester city this is what makes marketing salford a difficult process and there is no easy way to market any better than they have done its just not a rugby town anymore which is a pitty as rugby league is a great idea. I think they might attend if things where going great on the field it dont help when your not winning games.
