| Quote: BartonFlyer "If you sup with the devil use a long spoon!! Never a truer phrase to describe the dealings with Sky and the Murdoch empire!
For once though I'm in total agreement with LoyalFan's post - this immediate debacle is down to Sky but the longer term issues are a consequence of poor management decisions over the years. However what has happened is in the past - we just have to hope that Martyn Saddler in his tweet is right and there is a new owner/investor on the scene and that he/she/it brings some new ideas & a bit of dynamism to our club
I will be at Leigh - I cannot see how boycotting the game achieves anything whatsoever and as for those who've posted on Facebook that they'll stay at home and watch it on Sky as some form of protest I'm afraid that logic defates me completely.
All in all a very very sad end to a chaotic and ultimately disappointing season after showing some hope early doors.'"
I vaguely remember an old Pat Boone song- I'll be there, so me and the wife will be. |

The fact that it is being played at Leigh is making the game look like a joke anyway. |

I don't think any new investor would base their decision on this one game? Besides I think you'll find out soon that said investors have already made their mind up, dotting the i's and crossing the t's! |

Well Pat Boone won't be going because it was a Jackson 5 song.  |

| Quote: theredshed "So RCD was formed very poorly because they needed extra outside investment and that investor ended up having his business assets frozen a few years after they formed RCD? I wouldn't put that down to being badly formed, more bad luck. Have you considered that without this investors money RCD may never have had enough finance to take the project as far as they did? The bit that makes me laugh is your "we spent hundreds of thousands" comment . . I think you will find it was what the other investors in RCD spent not the club!!'"
Oh come on !!!
RCD was basically Salford City Reds board of directors... Who spent ridiculous amounts of money on a project going nowhere when it would have been better invested in a realistic project that would have given the club what it needed... Our own stadium. |

 . I doubt much could still have been done even a few weeks ago though. |

| Quote: GT "We weren't meant to be at home, though. That's the point. This issue isn't actually down to Sale, they scheduled their fixtures around ours. Sky have suddenly decided, five days before the fixture, to move it to another date. Sod all this "Sky pay us good money so we do as they say" nonsense, this just shows the utter contempt they have for match going supporters. Do they not realise that some people may already have other plans for that day? Do they think people have nothing in their lives but rugby league? Not that it matters, they only care about the 'product' for television audiences. Awful.
They've made a mockery of professional football (but the Premier League is the greatest league in the world and people all over the globe tune in, so who cares if people have to travel from Manchester to Southampton on a Tuesday night) and they're well on the way to doing the same to rugby league. Regardless of where the game is played, if it's not on Friday night, I reckon I've already watched my last Salford game of the season. Thanks a lot, Sky.'"
Apologies, didn't explain myself very well. What I meant was that if we (Salford) are scheduled for a home league game on a particular weekend (be it Friday, Saturday or whenever sky decide) then surely it can't be that difficult to ensure that Sale have an away fixture assigned for the same weekend therefore avoiding any possibilty of a clash. |

RCD spent a large amount of their own money on a project that a lot of supporters were in favour of,were you at the Civic Centre for the council planning committee votes and the public enquiry? I was and so were many others and the council vote was a huge majority in favour whilst the enquiry had no objectors which meant that the inspector called in by that well known HKR advisor John Prescott had to ask himself questions that he thought any objectors would ask, the inspectors words not mine.
You are correct that it took a lot of money(Directors money) and about 12 months time wasted. |

| Quote: Early Bath "No LF - you are totally wrong there and .......... I am surprised that being so close to the situation you don`t know it.'"
OK... fair enough... I should have elaborated more on such a strong point. RCD was Peel, Salford RL, and a few other investors. If we concentrate mainly on Salford because that's who we care about most... The Salford side of RCD invested and gambled hugely. Those Salford directors lost a lot of money during the whole RCD venture.... and I really wish they hadn't... and I do feel for them... But being part of that whole thing was a bad decision which ultimately led to Peel being owed a lot of money (or a part of Peel anyway)... and... Eventually led the club having to settle for a stadium owned by the council and Peel... It was our only choice left to us... So the decision to be part of RCD (which did involve a number of our directors) was a bad one... and look where we are now... playing home games at Leigh. |

| Quote: Alan "As a Leyther who is intrigued by what all the fuss is about Sooper Dooper League, I'll probably venture over to LSV on Saturday. Could someone please advise me what the concession (>65 that is!) price is for the West Stand?
By the way, as for Salford honouring car park passes, the parking at LSV is free anyway, but be careful where you park. Don't park on any of the roads for example, or the wheel clampers will have a field day!
I know it's not the same as playing at home, (although your players are training at the LSV complex every day) but I'm sure you'll enjoy the excellent facilities and atmosphere at LSV.'"
Bump!! As something of an exception on here, I want to take the chance of watching a SL game at our stadium. However, your official website isn't giving ticket prices.
Can anyone please tell me what price the West stand (adjecent to the pitch) will be for a concession? (i.e. what would the price have been at Salford?)
I agree that playing your home game at LSV is a big let down for you loyal supporters. However, once your stadium became unavailable, LSV is a fairly logical choice, as it is your regular training base |
