Coming from a SALFORD fan!!!

No no no, it wouldn't just upset me it'd kill me. I'd never watch a Manchester RL team, never in a million years. This is our team, our club, our City. I honestly think changing the name would do more harm than good as I recon 99% of our fans wouldn't watch a Manchester RL team.

Do you think Salford Council would tweek the name of the Stadium for us?

I wouldn't watch a Manchester RL team and I'm not from Salford and have never lived there!

It’s never done London any good has it, so what would be different in our case?

It’s simple we win games and fans will come.

I too would never step foot in the ground again if it ever happened.

First thing for me is being consistant off the field. Listen to fans.

We have the club mainly communicating via twitter, all the info should be on all the platforms (facebook, Twitter in the media etc)and especially the club web site (this needs a whole redesign and face lift.)

Relaunch the Junior Reds and have regular functions and training sessions for a small cost.

Get a permanent presence at the new stadium. We have an area marked for the shop, switch on the lights and install a desk. This wll give fans somewhere to stop and ask questions or buy season tickets. Have examples of stuff to buy.

Promote the flames

Tell the fans about the income streams- is it worth drinking or parking at the stadium, does it benefit the club?

Not a bad WUM for your first post on here.

And yet there's plenty of us from outside Salford who go home and away. Nice theory, though.

Yes exactly, nice theory. Theres plenty of Tottenham, Millwall, Chelsea fans etc that have no links with that area of London.

I like the idea of relaunching the Junior Reds Optimist, very good post pal. In addition to "skills sessions" It would be good to get dance classes for the flames for the little uns.

The club were making big noises about re-launching the junior reds scheme last season. It was gonna be free to sign up and once signed up you could get kids tickets for £3 per game. Not sure what happened to it.

It was just one suggestion, i know it was drastic and thats why i said not all people would like it especially the die hards that have been going for years. I would find it difficult to take myself but can see the benefits it may bring.

I think the feel the running of our club needs to become much more professional. If you look at a large proportion of other teams in superleague they make each game a big occasion. They put on decent entertainment be it a Battle of the bands, opera singers, kids rugby games at half time, and a good standard mascot that can be used for marketing purposes gripping kids attention. Making them want to come back again.

It would also be good if Trafford could help the club and actually promote our club. Maybe one of them billboards on the way in, or even some sort of discount deal maybe (a card that if you spend over a certain amount in a shop you get a certain % off a ticket) unsure how it'd work random idea in my head there.

Just suggestions

Salford rugby league club is dying, right before our very eyes, it's negative beyond belief, and with this current shower of you know what, nothing can save us only a change in management to which looks like it's never going to happen,(GUTTED) a new broom sweeps clean, i'll go on record by saying this is one of the worst Salford teams i've ever seen, we;ve had some bad teams in the past but this team takes the biscuit. Crowds have never improved in fact nothing has improved only our playing facilities, even a average new stadium cannot lift our disillousioned to the bone supporters, with some folk actually blaming the salford public and businessmen for being where we are today 9unbelievable).

Manchester rugby league is a racing certainty and it will be happening within 3 years with or without JW, he'll have no choice. I'll be very surprised if we get a renewed franchise especially if we fail to improve on the level 3 graded licence issued. The RFL will back it. We all know the rugby league have been crying out for this, and it's probably provides for a better model in a business sense, and also it'll increase the catchment area. Mancunians are probably more likely to watch a Manchester brand rather than a Salford. It'll be sad to see Salford go to the wal,l but i can totally see why.

Although the demising of SCR is quite evident, most people simply choose to ignore this FACT
and abuse the one's who see the light with these failing's of leadership.

If the name does change to Manchester, would that be such a problem, its not like a merger?
