I have eventually gained a grudging respect for the Crusaders. Surely though it's time we produced a performance and a win against them. Unfortunately,

Looking forward to this game. Should be very close. We were denied a well deserved win against Leeds, and given our track record against you, I think our lads will really fancy this one. A few of you are on about the 'Summer Sizzler' ticket deals. You will have to pre-order them. You can then just collect them from the clubshop. Your pint and pie have to be claimed before 7.30pm though. Make sure you remember that. Here's to a great game. Sure you will be eager to beat us, seems as we have been your ''bogey'' team in recent years. Hope as manyof you can make the trip as possible. Enjoy your visit.

How much is it on the gate friday anyone know and what stand we in ?

Think you will be in the Eric Roberts Stand. If not, the Yale Stand. Think its £20 to pay on the gate. £15 if you pay before hand. £20 for a ' Summer Sizler '. That includes entry, a pie, a pint and a programme. Can't go wrong !

Cheers

It did (last week) but despite having paid an additional postage cost, the ticket office has retained the tickets for collection on the night.



Can you actually pay on the gate? Or do you have to first queue up at the Club shop to buy a ticket on the night and then queue up at the turnstiles to get in?

Yep. Think you do actually, sorry. Think you have to get ticket in the clubshop beforehand. Sorry, didn't read the post properly !

another massive game coming up, crusaders are a bit of a bogey team for us so getting a result would be fantastic, the top 8 race is still in our hands at present so a win would give us the momentum to build a charge.

Need to watch that Witt and sammutt both dangerous players who can do a lot of damage if we give them space and time, in defence they hide Sammutt very well we need to isolate him and send our big units over him a few times every set

Most importantly we need a strong pefromance from the referee, away from home it will be a difficult task but not impossible to get a result but with a referee that will play to the crowd when the pressure is it becomes impossible. the penalty count will be interesting to see after the game.

Lets hope Salford give us an 80 minute performance and come pack with the 2 points and full of confidence moving to next week

I think I'll get the £15 ticket and use the fiver saved to buy my pie and pint at my own leisure rather than before 7.30!

Where have people been buying tickets then? Last year we were in the corner of the Yale stand because the normal away section behind the sticks wasn't open. This year they appear to have tickets on sale for behind the sticks.

Mold Road stand to the right of the half-way line.

Got my tickets at the Willows last Friday for the Mold road stand

Gutted at missing this one as i have to work a bit later tonight, so wont make the kick off . Instead i am going to the Willows and have a laugh at the Swinton pussycats.
