We, the Undersigned demand those whom currently Own and Manage The Salford City Reds RLFC to urgently arrange and hold a public meeting to discuss and answer questions that may be proposed by your supporters ,Customers and potential investors.
The Supporters of this once Great club have no option find the lack of transparency from Salford City Reds Rugby League Football Club to be unsatisfactory especially as in the Most recent MatchDay Programme the Chairman of our club John Wilkinson talked about improving communication with the supporters. The fans of this Rugby League football club have as always remained Loyal and very supportive ,not only in the last year or so but during times when the club needed us the most. I believe the Supporters of our club should always be at the forefront of the clubs minds when decisions are made.
This unsatisfactory position of the Club being served a Winding Up Notice has cemented the viewpoint that We deserve Answers from those in a position of power .
As always the Salford faithful supports the long term ambition of the Chairman and the board but we respectfully request our voices are heard.
We believe this can only be achieved by Holding a Supporters Meeting with representatives from Salford City Reds to discuss our present situation and our future sustainability.
It is our hope that the Club will respect this request and that the supporters embrace any forthcoming changes and see them as a positive step forward.
We would finally like to wish the Phil Veivers, his coaching staff and all the players The Best of Luck for the impending Pre season and urge the fans to get behind the playing squad as they have done every season.
Please get behind this and sign the Petition here www.gopetition.com/petitions/sav ... -1873.html
Together We Will have our voices heard. |

Sorry, but just what is that going to achieve? The club needs cash, not public meetings IMHO

| Very harsh comment... as a Bradford fan I hope you get answers you need and that your club is honest with all of you fans. Without the fans meetings we held we wouldnt have raised £500,000 ( not that it did us much good ) but it's a way for fans to pull together and see if together you can do anything to help your club.
Best of luck  |

EX.Salf.UNI?
As usual I expected you to say nothing but use your condescending lowest form of wit. You don't after to agree but try & show a little intelligence to a serious issue.

No not a question of apathy, more an antipathy to futile gestures!
The Bradford fan hit the nail on the head - call a meeting to actually do something - signing that petition is quite meaningless |

That's just the case, how many Salford fans would actually put money into a trust fund or something similar to run the club? For one we are in the middle of a recession which has been going on for nearly 5 years here in the North West, so people don't have the money and secondly how many think that paying £180 a year or getting freebies is the best way of supporting Salford, as you know any public meeting would degenerate into a slanging match, I admire you in putting forward this petition and hope you get something out of it other than despair because you are completely right about the apathy it is a Salford thing, too many people just can't be bothered and won't somebody else to pay for their entertainment. |

Cheers Pev, Out of curiosity what Could and Should we do? Are we too sit back and carry on regardless? |

Without trying to force the club to hear our voice how can we request our questions are answered? It's clear that all other avenues have proved futile , eg Emails, Letters to the chairman, Comments left on Facebook |

CavendishStreet I've read your blog and I understand how passionate you are about the club - but in someone's words (I can't remember who) "Politics is the art of the possible", and clearly there has been an intensely political situation surrounding the management and funding of SCR over the last few years which has now come to a head.
The reasons for my response to your post are:
1: Will the current management respond to such a call? I think you've already answered that
2: If the board were stood in front of the fans now what could they say that would satisfy what we all want?
No one has a magic wand to fix this, unless of course Peel Holdings do want to throw a bucketful of cash at us and make us the richest club in SL (as I've just seen posted over on the Wakefield board), painful though it may be I think we just have to sit it out and wait and see....

Did you see how quickly we went from "always Loyal and Supportive" to "3000 mugs"?
As for taking this particular OP seriously, I suggest you read their post history and perhaps you'll see why I'm struggling. |

Cheers fair enough Mate, I guess myself and others are just fed up of the same drudge Year after Year. But appreciate your response!

Ok then , Obviously you are the only respectable "Supporter" that posts on this forum, TBH I can't be ar*ed to trawl through your posts so that I can attain an opinion about you. Unless your an employee at the club which I doubt you are because I do believe I had a decent relationship with the McNally Brothers.
Can you honestly say our club has been managed in a professional and Healthy Manner for the past 30 years? |

Would very much hope that the club now do the honorable thing and make a full public statement.
I'm still of the opinion that investment is being sorted but do think that fans nerves, anger and in some cases stupidity need to be addressed and allayed if there is some level of disclosure as to what exactly is happening.
I'd hope that the club go public with this directly rather than letting some incompetent hack from the MEN get the story and make a hash of the facts.
