And yet there's plenty of us from outside Salford who go home and away. Nice theory, though.

| Yes exactly, nice theory. Theres plenty of Tottenham, Millwall, Chelsea fans etc that have no links with that area of London.
I like the idea of relaunching the Junior Reds Optimist, very good post pal. In addition to "skills sessions" It would be good to get dance classes for the flames for the little uns.

| The club were making big noises about re-launching the junior reds scheme last season. It was gonna be free to sign up and once signed up you could get kids tickets for £3 per game. Not sure what happened to it.

| It was just one suggestion, i know it was drastic and thats why i said not all people would like it especially the die hards that have been going for years. I would find it difficult to take myself but can see the benefits it may bring.
I think the feel the running of our club needs to become much more professional. If you look at a large proportion of other teams in superleague they make each game a big occasion. They put on decent entertainment be it a Battle of the bands, opera singers, kids rugby games at half time, and a good standard mascot that can be used for marketing purposes gripping kids attention. Making them want to come back again.
It would also be good if Trafford could help the club and actually promote our club. Maybe one of them billboards on the way in, or even some sort of discount deal maybe (a card that if you spend over a certain amount in a shop you get a certain % off a ticket) unsure how it'd work random idea in my head there.
Just suggestions

| Salford rugby league club is dying, right before our very eyes, it's negative beyond belief, and with this current shower of you know what, nothing can save us only a change in management to which looks like it's never going to happen,(GUTTED) a new broom sweeps clean, i'll go on record by saying this is one of the worst Salford teams i've ever seen, we;ve had some bad teams in the past but this team takes the biscuit. Crowds have never improved in fact nothing has improved only our playing facilities, even a average new stadium cannot lift our disillousioned to the bone supporters, with some folk actually blaming the salford public and businessmen for being where we are today 9unbelievable).
Manchester rugby league is a racing certainty and it will be happening within 3 years with or without JW, he'll have no choice. I'll be very surprised if we get a renewed franchise especially if we fail to improve on the level 3 graded licence issued. The RFL will back it. We all know the rugby league have been crying out for this, and it's probably provides for a better model in a business sense, and also it'll increase the catchment area. Mancunians are probably more likely to watch a Manchester brand rather than a Salford. It'll be sad to see Salford go to the wal,l but i can totally see why.
Although the demising of SCR is quite evident, most people simply choose to ignore this FACT
and abuse the one's who see the light with these failing's of leadership.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| If the name does change to Manchester, would that be such a problem, its not like a merger?

| First and foremost i want SCR to succeed, but if the past 30 years are anything to go off it's good night vienna. Unless a new broom is installed with a new idea's there isn't much hope. Manchester RL isn't a bad thing i'd support it, only as a last resort, which is becoming more likely every day.

| I think we have to await what till we find out what is going on with this Sale debate,are they moving in or not,its been going on for to long now,there`s more to it than just moving in imo,worrying times for me,i just cannot see this move working,its not home anymore,the 6 of us who normally go have now decided to call it a day until things change,its mid jan now and didn`t somebody say there would be a big push on the advertising front? The Leigh shambles was the final straw,enough is enough.

| Yeah MM good point regarding Sale. It does seem to be dragging on for whatever reason. Also another 6 supporters fading away, definately worrying times.

I very much doubt there is a load of people in Manchester just crying out for a team to call their own, who don't already watch us, or more likely, Wigan. they've had best part of 120 years to come up with one. The RFL tried to come up with one in '95. and we're still waiting.
Now the BBC is in SALFORD (not manchester) the city now has a higher profile, a chance to forge its own path, emerge from the shadow of it's neighbour. Indeed, instead of killing off the city's only full time professional top flight sports team, the RFL will actively promote it, because the publicity it will generate from having the nations broadcaster in it's city will be invaluable to the game as a whole.
Building a Manchester team into a super league force will take a generation at least, re-branding us as Manchester will kill RL in Manchester/Salford

It's close to death as it is. Just short of 3000 die-hards attend SCR, a generation has been lost already, catalans game was the proof, 7000 have lost faith and who can blame them.

Utter bollox, I know of several people who arrended the last Willows match who were ex players, not attended a match in years or were fans of other clubs, just marking the passing of an old stadium , they were never going to continue attending and that attendance should not beused as a benchmark
