as a saints fan living in manchester and with a soft spot for salford i signed up to this thinking i would accept sitting with salford fans for the sake of getting in free.

i signed up just before the les cats game and although the advert had advertised free tickets for the saints game, i was emailed a voucher for a free ticket to the les cats game.

i tried again this monday, thinking i'd get a voucher for the saints match this time, and it said the offer had ended.

i don't think it was a con at all - i just reckon they limited the number of vouchers they were prepared to give out.

guys the tickets dont normally come through until thursday just so you know where you stand its not a con its just to make sure people arnt just using false emails and passing them round every one if you catch the drift just be patient and if you signed up for catalans you will probably get another couple of free ones mate happened to a few i know !

All e mails for this game were sent out on Tues afternoon.

I know of several Salford people who applied including the Mrs and not one person has heard anything.

Could these emails have automatically gone to people's junk folders rather than their inbox? Just a thought because I'm always finding 'non spam' messages in my junk folder. It may be worth checking.



I'd of thought the offer was directed more at local Salford people with the aim of attracting them back rather than away fans just looking for a freebie.

I also know of a number of people who applied and again they have received nothing.
Some of these have made other plans now.
Can the marketing team at Salford ever get anything right ?

Surely if the promotion is now closed that would suggest that all the free tickets have been allocated.

I didn't see the offer and I'm assuming from posts on here that the club didn't advise a date when people would be notified. If they didn't it may be an idea in future to do this and prevent any confusion? There appears to be a lack of thought, planning and ability to foresee any problems that may arise. What should be a positive campaign for the club ends up having a negative effect on some supporters.

The offer is on the first page of this thread posted by Pev.

It quotes:

'Now the best bit is we have as many FREE tickets to give away to as many people as we can!!! So that's you, your family, your friends and their friends and family or anyone who may like to come along.'

Hmmmm? 'to as many people as we can'?????????????? Suggests not everybody then??????????????

If it's anything like the promotion the club set up at work then they started to email the tickets today.

Checked and nothing there good thought though !!

Sorry what I meant to say was .. I wasn't aware of a notification date being advised during the application process. And if there wasn't it would be good practice to have one to avoid the confusion of people not knowing if they are getting a free ticket.

Not being funny, but aren't these offers supposed to be for new supporters, and not freeloaders/away fans?

Exactly, I'm assuming the offer is only available to people within the area that are not currently on the clubs database.

Correct. Anyone already on the clubs database is unlikely to receive free tickets. As for anyone from a St Helens postcode I would suggest you need to arrive with a crisp £20 note on Friday.
