You mean they have knock on's I thought it was part of the game

I watched about 10 minutes and then my eyes started to bleed
At one stage in the game there were 16 phases and they had moved about 5 metres.
OUR ground however looked very good on telly with the East stand full.
There were around 8K there looking from the TV but my son who works in the ticket office said the scanners had it as 6K

A question to which the answer is difficult to find but could be very powerful in marketing terms.

My guess is it's cultural. That crowd will be mostly male, employed, lower-middle class, who have been involved with RU all their lives at clubs, university etc. They go because they can watch the highest (bar international) standard of the game fairly locally but above all its a social thing. There's just a rugby-union 'type' of person isn't there and not many top-level clubs around up here for them to follow.

Sale match report in this week's Advertiser

Really,anybody who as supported Salford in the past would be interested,why would any youngster from Sale Alrincham or even our own city be interested in a club like ours,it as nothing to offer.Miles out of the heart of the city,an unatmospheric concrete smelly craphole that produces performances off the field that stinks like the farm close by.Don`t look at it now look in 5 10 years time,what Salford kids are going to be attracted to that dump to support this team.Its a complete and utter balls up created by MR Salford and mugs like you and me for letting it happen.

I dated someone from Sale once who's sister often took her kids to the Willows and know that other youngsters from the school attended games so there is obviously interest in that area. I've often thought that if someone looked at Wythenshaw there would be interest, it's not the wealthiest area so a cheaper friendlier alternative to football might appeal.

You lot are so obsessed with Sale.....14 post pages. I'd be far more worried about the state your once "well run,debt free club" is. Most clubs have posted lists of retained or new players, nothing from your camp.
A statement made over two weeks ago stating new investors would be announced, yet nothing. The companies accounts not yet filed and yet your harking over whether or not Wythenshaw can add to your fan base.
Worrying times for one of our former great rivals.

Wish these Warrington fans would stop clogging up our forum.

I'm not sure I understand the point about Wythenshawe here. Because it's a poor area, people should support Salford? Seems like you're putting Salford down there.

Wythenshawe is a Football area. It's a 49/49 split in favour of United and City and then the other 2%......Sale. I know this, being a Wythenshawe Sale fan. Lots of Wythenshawe folk get on my coach from Brooklands station to Salford City Stadium. Wythenshawe is nowhere near Salford, however part of Wythenshawe and Sale share the same boundaries. Brooklands, where Sale FC play (Heywood Road - where Salford U16s or something play) is in both Wythenshawe and Sale. Wythenshawe and Sale are also in the same boundaries when it comes to voting and stuff. We're just Sale's poorer Cousin. A sign was recently put up saying "Welcome To Brooklands, Wythenshawe" on Altrincham Road. That's sure to p!ss off those folk trying to sell their fancy houses on Brooklands Road.

In fact, Heald Green residents recently voted to get a sign taken down at their train station as it had Wythenshawe Town Centre on the platform signs. A few years ago Northenden folk were outraged because of the same thing. A sign said "Welcome To Northenden, Wythenshawe". That one was a bit odd as it's actually in Wythenshawe. They'd rather they were associated with neighbouring Didsbury.

So I'm not sure you'd want your club associated with here. You'd get looked down on more than you would for attending a Sale game Speaking of which - saw 2 lads with Salford City Reds shirts at the last game of ours. Heroes in my eyes. No doubt they got a kicking when they left the ground though.

Before I get a telling off for a geography lesson, I was just confused as to why an area 10 miles away would be targeted as a Salford City Reds area. Most people in Wythenshawe wouldn't even know what Rugby is. In fact, they wouldn't know what Football was outside of the Premier League. You never saw a blue shirt around here for years and now City have won the league they wear nothing but the things, even if it's raining. Whenever I get a taxi to the station, the taxi driver never knows who Sale or Salford are. They only start to know what I'm talking about when I tell them it's that new ground off the motorway.

Edit - I understand what you meant. A cheaper alternative. It's a good point but then with 75000 people, in theory Wythenshawe Town or Altrincham FC would be getting some of their money every week. They don't though. That's what I was getting at with the Premier League thing.

Edit 2 - I assure you I don't say "folk" that often in real life

Oh you are still alive, then. You still finding Sale being the "puppet masters" to be a wonderful thing?

Like I said...obsessed.!

Stick to the Warrington forum in future son.

I'll take that as a yes, then. And speaking of obsessed, you do spend a lot of time on here, don't you?
