Easily solved if that's the case. Just drop the "red". Nowt wrong with Salford Devils.

I'm well aware of our history. Small price to pay if it distances us from football and gets bums on seats.

I can't make my mind up on Koukash. He's obviously got alot of passion to make the club as big/good as possible, which is great. I do worry though, when clubs start speculating on "lining up major players". You dont know how much of this lining up is agents simply bumping prices up for their clients at their respective clubs or home markets, and before you know it, the deal is dead in the water.
Simms did it for years to little effect, though in saying that I appreciate Koukash has the finances to back himself up.

Salford Red Devils.. meh.. not a fan of nicknames myself especially Warrington's but I suppose it may attract more youngsters who may associate the club with MUFC. I'm not sure what use 3000 free tickets to see a club getting battered does at this stage. It may do more harm than good.

I do hope it all comes off though, and that Salford start getting regular high attendances and start being competitive in the league and cup.

Salford RLFC Folly ARLFC 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

I agree with you with regards to nicknames, but this nickname is part of heritage not just some name picked out of a hat like Bulls, Wolves, Tigers etc. The Red Devils nickname has a massive affinity to Salford RLFC and we need to market it as much as possible. Great Move Dr. a014.gif

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg



Why not go the whole hog and introduce some gimmicky stunts like fire blazing high out from the top of the goalposts when we score? It is all about entertainment after all.

I can honestly see the Stadium being rebranded 'The Devil's Lair' or something to that effect. It's incredibly cheesy but if it puts bums on seats I'm not going to disregard it straight away as an option.

We just need a new name for the South Stand now icon_biggrin.gif any ideas?

Would you not have thought a Super League marketing department would have realised that they needed to buy the domain names before they announced the name change.

At least league freak will give them back, I'm sure with Dr Kash he can also name his price d040.gif

I very much doubt re-branding to Salford Red Devils will attract new support, but it might help stay away fans reconnect the club, and it will go down well with the longer serving fans. Good move by the Doc in my opinion, and I agree with ave'it.

It's balls from people who know little of the Salford/Manchester dynamic. There are loads of Salford fans who support City, and vice-versa.

I think salfordreddevils is a poor choice of domain given the double d's. No pun intended.

The club must keep the reds.co.uk domain, it's short and easy to spell and appears highly ranked on page one of a google search. It would be an absolutely crazy decision to change it.

It's heartening to know he such a supporter ... icon_cheers.gif

all he's got to do is buy . com .org .net . etc etc + hypenated versions .

I think Salford already have ' theoriginalredevils '

If you google Red Devils you could get
Crawley FC
the Belgian National Football Team
the South Korean National Football Team
Belarus National Football Team
the Congo National Football Team
some army lads who like jumping out of planes
An Italian Army Acrobatics Team (Diavoli Rossi )
A French Rugby League Team
the list goes on .

If you Goolged ' Reds ' you get a Baseball Team, Basketball NFL sides etc

The timing of the statement from Koukash is perfect , a day after the Stretford clubs ' bus ride '
it's on 100 + news sites , the BBC site has over 20 comments. and the leading RL story ..

The ' City Reds ' Merchandise is dead , so he can only gain , He'll be brokering a deal with a new Kit sponsor.
