I'm not criticising everything the club does, for example while I think the community work could be slightly improved however I think in the whole the job they do is good and rarely gets a mention because people don't want to know good news stories it's all about the bad. My issue is a feel at time the club is an embarrassment to the city of Salford but that's for another topic I don't want to digress. Why don't I get involved you say? Well when I'm spending my monies at the ground you think I am doing my job putting monies into the coffers, It's not upto us as fans to sort a players testiomal game. Which further goes to prove how much an embarrassment the club can be. As for the final game, seen as it agasint the Frenchies I would presume they're will be roughly 9k Salford fans there and maybe an extra 1k made up of rugby fans (Wigan, Leigh, St's) wanting to witness the final ever game at the Old Lady.

It's up to Paul or any testimonial player in any sport to choose their own Testimonial commitee, whether that be club officials, employees, agent, players, fans or friends and family.

It's up to the commitee to approach and arrange a convenient date for a testimonial game at the club. It is also the responsibilty of the player/commitee to approach the opposing team and get them to agree to play. (For those who don't know this is how testimonial games work) It's never the clubs who organise testimonial matches its always the commitee. If the initial date was not convenient on Mr McRae's say so (Assuming the post I read above is accurate) then its up to the comittee chairperson to further discuss with both clubs a date that is.

So what we're witnessing here is someone bleating, whining and accusing over a subject he/she has very little knowledge of?

Is this a Turkey first??

wh says that another game isnt being planned/arranged? ors it a case of, well the club havent said they are going to do something yet means they are not???


FWIW i think the club WILL do something, i would quite like t see a game between salford and swinton considering thatswho we opened the old girl against

Can anyone translate this into English?

I'd rather not, you'll only encourage them if you get then any kind of help, unless it's suicide tourism in Swiss I'm not bothered

Off the top of my head:

Giving our previous coach a 4+ year contract because he is mates with Simms.
Still having a caretaker coach in charge 12 weeks after Mcrae went on the sick.
Signing injury prone players without proper medicals.
Charging fans upto £8 more for a cup game than the league then wondering why no-one turns up.
Going way OTT with pre season hype therefore raising everyones expectations to unrealistic levels.
Having numerous backroom roles vacant.
Leaving fans stuck in Cardiff.
Pre season recruitment resembling a kid in a sweet shop (signing anyone who is reasonably well known rather than players in positions that are actually required).
Selling junior season tickets to adults every year.
Still employing a director of football.

That's all for now.

there was something said over the tannoy at fridays game saying 'there is an additional game so listen out for more details soon'....seems the catalans game won't be the last at the willows.

At Warrington we had at least 3 last games at Wilderspool.

There was the last game of the league season in 2003 against Wakey where Appo got a hat-trick and the win clinched us the top six place (that should have been the one to bow out).

Then they had a Warrington v New Zealand 'A' game which was the last official game at Wilderspool just after the season ended.

Then we were playing pre-season friendlies there in early 2004. Made it a bit of a damp squib really. I remember Sean Mellor on the tannoy saying at one of them "and the next 'last game' at Wilderspool will be on...."

I think a game against New Zealand (pre-4 nations) would be ideal, making the most of the Lance Todd connection.
