Hopefully he gets full control of the stadium, and some decent performances start to put bums on seats. I'm sure he's got good marketing ideas in the pipeline, good luck Salford.

The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings"..
Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

I watched the Watkins era but never thought of myself as part of the older generation (47) maybe I am 
but my dad started taking me when I was 4 years old (1970).
Apart from the nostalga me and my mate are like two giddy school kids and have been waiting for tomorrow since my mates boss was emailed with an invite a few weeks back now.
Can't wait for it and I don't know about anyone else but we plan on having a few cheeky drinks to celebrate the gifts Dr.K bestows on us tomorrow. 
Don't know if anyone else plans on celebrating but I guess it's a given ..  |

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg |

A few days after the church meeting, a few of us were having serious conversations about trying to take over the running of the club ourselves with a supporters' trust. Would we be able to raise the money needed? Keep sponsors? Keep the few fans we had left onside? Who would we appoint in various positions? Would we be able to maintain SL status?.. To come from that position, that worry about the very future of the club's existence, to what we're on the brink of... Well, it's one hell of a turnaround. Whatever happens over the next few years, the main thing is that Salford RLFC have been kept alive and we've all been given an opportunity to watch a competitive side take to the field. Whatever happens after that is a bonus.

Well, this year, I've been an absent supporter. Not through choice, but the commute from Bangkok seemed a little too long to undertake every fortnight! Last year, my family and I had 5 season tickets. This year, due to being overseas, none.
The church hall meeting was a depressing event, and I seriously thought the end was close. Having watched Watkins, Nash, Fielding, etc, I really thought the sun had set on the club I have supported since being 4 or 5 years old in the early 70s.
Fast forward to today: I'm sat here, in my office, waiting for the announcement of the arrival of what is hopefully the makings of a competitive team. My wife is taking the kids to the match on Friday night for the first time this season, and next year, I'll be back too. I really didn't think that we would be here, so I'm just over the moon that I have the 2014 season to look forward too.
I'll raise a glass of the cold stuff tomorrow night to thank Dr Koukash for all that he is doing, and in honour of the supporters who've stuck around during this tough 12 months. Just glad I'll be able to join you on the terraces again next season.
