TBH if people could afford to pay an additional £ 116 per season in sponsorship they could afford to pay an additional £ 5 per game ticket price ...

if everyone who pertains to be a Salford Supporter and posts on this site paid £ 10 to Forever Reds rllink hererl they would be in a much better position to support our junior sides & invest in our future .

that's much easier to do (1 minute online ) and more plausible , 100's of people post on here 1000's view .

NRL teams offer membership to supporters who can never go to games due to finance, distance or are just armchair supporters who want to feel they are playing a part .
we could spent weeks going on about how our club can never get their act together, it would be nice if they did , or we could be proactive and support an trust that is already in existence? it's a start anyway .

up until the disaster that was July , playing wise we were having ( by Salford standard) a pretty good go . then there was the Widnes Home game & London away the two low-lights of the season.
players are leaving , but that is freeing up supposedly 350K + to support hopefully players that will put pride back into our Shirt win lose or draw.
I don't expect us to win SL next season , I'm not that bothered with all the rhetoric with 5 yr plans. I've had a lifetime plan to be a supporter of the club and nothing will change that , no matter how much trouble we're going through .

Middleman I agree with you but we have less than 50 members of forever reds, no matter how hard we try, we even get people turning up to meet the players who are not members and wouldn't even think of joining, £116 is spread over the season and you could sponsor home or away tries only, I am not saying that all the fans have spare money, but most want top players at the club and to win trophies with somebody else paying for it, perhaps it is a Salford thing where we expect something for nothing or cheap and not the true cost. All I have done is put forward an idea that is quite simple but raises quite a bit of money and again it is not too hard, no exercise is involved and if paid in at each home match is only about £7-00 a game or the price of two pints at the ground.
But apathy rules and the owner according to some takes money out of the club so without more fans getting off their backsides and doing something who in their right mind would invest in the club when fans object to paying for what is on the field. If the fans shown more commitment perhaps certain businessmen in the city might just thing about putting the big money in, this could be a massive surge in forever reds membership.

thats bad , how many did we have in 2007-2008 ?

Re FOREVER REDS

I am a member of forever reds, I joined the past season

From what I can observe, its like a secret society. If I didn't go on Scarlet Turkey I would not know when the meeting are. I am not on Twitter or Facebook and there are probably a lot of fans not on Scarlet Turkey.

Need more publicity i.e. Reporter/Advertiser, League Express, League Weekly even asking Neil Barker for a mention

Meetings seem to be arranged willy nilly instead of at a regular time table (Accept if you are trying to arrange players to attend it makes dates a bit difficult)

There are regular meetings and I always get an email notification. Maybe you should ask try asking the question and checking they've got all the correct details rather than thinly veiled digs at how things are run.

To be fair - they haven't been very regular this season. More likely this year that there hasn't been a meeting than there has been a meeting that's been kept quiet. The meetings that used to happen pretty much every three weeks got stale with the same people asking the same questions to different people (or even just talking at them) in front of smaller and smaller crowds. It was decided to have fewer, bigger/better events this year, however it's been a bit of an awkward year with the club's off field issues and them getting accustomed to their new surroundings. The last event was the hugely successful Curry & Quiz night at the end of July.

O dear I've upset GT now.
It was not intended as a thinly veiled dig, but as I saw it. All my details were given when I joined including E mail. Never had a Email regarding meetings, had others re:-membership badge, so they have my correct E mail

Whatever that's supposed to mean?

The point I was making is that I've had emails about meetings, including ones this season, even when my membership had lapsed. So I'm sure a quick email enquiring as to why you weren't getting any updates at all about would have solved the problem.

Re:- Forever Reds

My main point is they don't advertise the meetings, mainly to non members, general public. its only the same people attending all the time.
Tell people about it

Scoot, has Iain has already said, this year has been a difficult one with regards meetings and there haven't been all that many but apart from emails etc, which I have had, the meeting details are always posted on here and what actually was discussed gets a full report from BBM a couple of days after each meeting.

With regards it being like a secret society that's a little unfair as I find it strange that people who to my knowledge have never attended any FR meeting always know what has gone on and in some cases they hear of things that were not on the agenda and then add to it.

If you are in the loop.Buy a programme, Know when to listen to the radio, Have the internet for E mails, no doubt you will find out details of events, meetings,.... Preaching to the converted
This is what I mean about getting out to people to join FR. Some may only get the Adverter, League Express etc
Lets get out there and tell them

Think the farce that has been and following todays announcement that still is Bradford shows that vastly reducing prices and making season tickets too cheap can only lead to meltdown (lest we really have got a new owner with money to throw away).
What is needed is a quality product on the pitch and an experience pre and post match to make £20 for 3 or 4 hours entertainment seem like brilliant value.

Christ it's £10 at the pictures now, throw in a fiver for a scoop of ice cream & cup of ice with coke splashed over it and your looking at 90 minutes entertainment (if you take of 30 minutes of adverts before the film) for not far off the same price as 5 hours at Salford.

Who are these people that spend 5 hours at the match !!..you must have deep pockets my friend...

Bit of a misprunt

Meant 4, with the new bar quite conceivable to get there 7 and leave at 11.
