I'm back on board. I'm sincerely hoping the takeover completes before the Wigan friendly, I'm even contemplating buying a season ticket if they go on sale prior this takeover happens.

Bl00dy hell PYB - I could get biblical

"I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, who need no repentance." Luke 15:7

Stadium Company at last nights SOS meeting were discussing the possibility of season tickets being on sale by Tuesday ( ticket books ).

' money to be held in stadium account until/ club matters were settled'

Cash cow won't go to widnes. He's not after planning permission for a racecourse there

How Koukash will get planning permission for a racecourse in Salford because he may own Salford is a strange one for me. Peel have been kicking the idea around for years and are well and truly in bed with the council but there has been no movement whatsoever on the racecourse front.

If it does, by some miracle, enable a racecourse to be built in Salford it's even better news for the City. A potentially strong Super a league side and new state of the racecourse to go along with MediaCity would really put us on the map.

What kind of racecourse is a "state of the racecourse".....just wondering. LOL

I don't buy into this Buy Salford to get pally with Peel & the Council for a Racecourse .
However, Dr Koukash mixes in circles with the likes of the Reuben Bros, Billionaire owners of Northern Racing who run 11 racecourses,rlhttp://www.reubenfoundation.com/ar_reubens_join_ranks.htmlrl
They acquired Arena Leisure last year which now takes their total up to 17 racecourses.
So would Peel be interested in closer links with the Ruebens to back their bid to build a all weather Flat course on the old Bridgewater Estate , you bet.rlhttp://www.reubenbrothers.com/NorthernRacing.aspxrl

So you all feel that the honourable Dr woke up one day on his holiday and thought i know i'll go and buy myself a rugby league club and looked around to find one riddled in debt and up for sale.
Come on, wake up and smell the coffee.......it may not happen immediatley but in time the real deal will come to light and i'd hedge my bets on it involving horses and race tracks.
As it happens, it's great news for salford and good luck to you.

The Dr.'s possible involvement sounds fantastic.All the right noises being made.Lets hopebit all comes off including his ambitions.One thing did surprise me( despite his obvious connection)is that he did his press through a St Helens paper.

Although it is very positive news and I hope Salford do come through this, it's very easy to get carried away with comments like that.

Ste o'connor saved our great club in 2007. He's invested £2-£3million of his own money. However he has come out with comments such as "were not coming to superleague to make up the numbers" and "we are coming to dominate".

We do have a steady side and we are playing in the Uk's highest league which is the main thing but I think it's been a little more difficult than first imagined. A business plan went in based on average attendance figures, like most clubs do. When we didn't meet those figures he's been covering losses year upon year and rumours are he may want out, don't think they're true.

I'm glad somebody has come in to potentially save Salford, I just think it will take years upon years to achieve success. Like ourselves and Bradford

Personally I don't care what his motives are. All that interests me is that any deal which is agreed ties him in for long enough to make a concerted effort to improve the fortunes and raise the profile of Salford RL. If he benefits in some other way in making that happen then I for one see no issue with that.

Sensible post.

Most sensible Salford fans aren't getting excited at the prospect of us challenging for honours but at the prospect of the club being saved and then moving forward under new leadership (however slowly it takes) as opposed to the dross we've been served up year after year. The chance for Salford to fulfil our potential (whatever that potential is) is all we ask.
