The fact they can call themselves fans if thats the case is beyond me.

Mate I know one thing, the fact that Wigan and Saints were playing on sky had absolutely nothing to do with our poor attendance. Fact!

Ermmm because I love the club, I go to support my team and have no complaints about yesterday as I've already said on another thread, the passion and everything was there form the players and they looked genuinely gutted at the end.
And I don't have to project a "negative message" to outsiders the clubs been doing that themselves for years! Hopefully now things will start to change!

| I think the sky games make a small difference. I reckon some people who pick and choose their games are unlikely to fork out £20 for Salford vs Cas in the rain on a Friday night when they can stay in and watch Saints vs Wigan on sky. Sad but true.

| I think we need to drop the price or something. I know there are various offers/membership schemes but a few friends I know wont fork out 20 quid to go to the 'odd game'. 15 quid...maybe.....20 just feels too expensive (certainly when attracting new fans)
Also, I wonder if our fans will be dropping more now as I know some fans will consider it season over now a playoff place is looking doubtful. Us hardcore will of course always be there., but with little to play for (if indeed, our playoff challenge is effectuively over), will less casuals come?
Come on marketing department, need to pull something out of the bag for the rest of the year. Don't just put things on our website cos its only our existing fans who read it. 200,000 just in salford, lots of big companys in the area - get out there and get just 1% of them to come....and that boosts us to 5-6k average

| The text a Salford fan sent into GMR phone in hit the nail on the head, "The Salford Public don't care" and sadly i have to agree with him. Obviously a wining team would help boost attendances but we are in a City where the majority of people couldn't care less about us.

And after many years of failure, you're surprised ? ?

Where the hell did that assumption come from?
Have you never heard of a little thing called 'State of Origin' (SOO)? I'll not explain the whole thing, but it's like the champions league of our sport. In that, the standard is probably higher and more skillful than that at international level. Our new coach is currently an assistant for one of the two teams playing in SOO, the same team that has had its asses handed to it for roughly five years. Matt Parish wants honour his commitment and ensure he does his all to reverse that teams current slide.
So, as stated by the club, recruitment has been put on hold until SOO has finished. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if Steve Simms is already scouting potential recruits for next season.
On the whole Cashmere/Henry debate. I feel Big Ray is worth another year, probably two, Henry on the other hand? If he was English I'd be saying the club should definitely get him signed up. Except with overseas quotas the way they are, I'd say, see who else is available first.

I would certainly put hard cash that JAW & HC paid their own way.
My £50 against one of your UCP Tripe shops.
You do come out with some ill thought out comments.
Have you found anybody to take over the poisoned chalice of running Salford yet? No - thought not.
