I agree, the Ladywell site would have been the perfect location to have the new stadium, tram links were already established easy access to the M602 motorway and walking distance for the majority of Salford fans, for me Barton is just to far away. Three years ago we had 10,500 fans at the willows of which I reckon 8500-9500 of those were Salford fans, this just proves we have the fan base. I don't know if this has been asked before but are we tied to Barton is there no way we could acquire the land at Ladywell and build a new stadium with the help of the doc?

I think some of you expect too much from the Doc, he has submitted an application to build a stadium in Swinton, what business sense makes you think he would construct another.

It would be interesting to see the distribution of fans as I'm not convinced the majority live within walking distance of the Willows.

And how many of the 10500 fans there on the last day at the Willows were on a freebie?I know quite a few and I am sure others know many who will only come if its free.

Business sense, well that is a question for business people as to whether it is viable or not?

Fan base, yeah it would be interesting to see the distribution but I am sure with a stadium like the willows being 100+ years old you would have a lot of fans living locally to it?

I also appreciate what the doc has done for Salford and where we would be without him.

Read into that what you will.

Has anyone seen the Swinton Stadia plans submit this week to the council?

As a season ticket holder for many years I find it ridiculous that I haven’t received any correspondence regarding renewing my ST for next season neither has anyone I have spoken to. As a professional sports club and Salford needing to retain as many ST holders as possible I would think it’s only common sense to contact everyone on the database. It seems the club are just expecting every existing ST holder will renew.

This year I have introduced two friends and brought them to around 5 games where they have bought tickets from the ticket office. After enjoying the experience one of them is thinking of buying a season ticket for next year. Why haven’t they also been contacted with regarding to buying a ST for next year? A non ST holder who obviously has an interest in attending games should be the prime target if we are to get new members on board, shouldn’t they? (One of them had details taken when purchasing for the first time)

Also there is the on-going issue with what day we will be playing on next year which I know for some people is the factor in them buying / not buying a ST why wasn’t this announced the day the ST went on sale? I’ve seen that MK posted on Twitter that we will be playing Sundays but nothing ‘official’ from the club has yet been announced and there is a lot of confusion amongst fans at games.

What are we actually doing to advertise ST renewals apart from the occasional social media post?

It's possible there is confusion here.
To the best of my knowledge all the council wanted was proposals at this stage hence why no formal plans are showing on the list.

Mr Scholes i'm with you on this one the advertising is pretty poor especially if you don't go on the internet! I think if you know any of the 12 members this should be brought up!

When the next meeting held will bring it up..

I submitted a document to Martin Vickers outlining this and other concerns (along with possible solutions) after the last meeting. I haven't hear anything back yet but I agree it's a critical area.

'Build it and they will come' didn't work for Tarry/Wilkinson and it won't work for the new regime.

Any idea when that will be? I've heard nothing.

cheers

Nope heard nothing..
