The Salford staff and Marwan probably don't know about the air show

Could potentially be a great way of getting a lot more people to the game. The club could hand out the free tickets to those people watching the first of the two flying displays? Would it not be a better idea to change the kick off time to half an after the first air display has finished? Perhaps an advert in the local advertiser - Offering the free tickets to people attending the air show. If these people are already in the vicinity of the stadium. Two events for people to attend on one afternoon.

They certainly did because Martin Vickers was asked about it in Twitter - last year the game that was due to be played on the air show day was re-scheduled - he made it clear that this year's game wouldn't be changed.
My point was more about the fact that both the Stadium & the Airport are owned by Peel - surely a bit of sense could have prevailed?

There's about a dozen flying displays not two!

Perhaps change the kick off time to 4:30 then?

As the main attraction for me would be the Battle Of Britain Memorial flight, (followed by the Dragon: yes I like olde aeroplanes), looks as if I will be a happy bunny whatever.

Well for my part this has worked, will be bringing one adult and two kids, the kids both want the junior supporters pack so there is £50 spent and a good chance of more.

The club could do worse than getting into large local businesses and just printing large open invite posters, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Could be a real winner. Hopefully a nice sunny day with the attraction for people of watching the air show plus a free ticket to the rugby. The Barton Air Show & Rugby Extravaganza!!

Would be cool if the fly by flew over the ground, get the Para's down and tie in the Red Devils link, advertise meet the Paratroop Regiment and find some activities for kids and see if some going to the airshow come along and tempt them to the game.

Little ideas like this for the club shouldn't cost the earth and can only help try and draw fans in.

Im not a Salford fan but as an outsider looking in this looks like a 'last throw of the dice' by Koukash to me. It looks to me as if he's trying to remove as many barriers as possible to fans to see exactly how many can attend without there being any excuses available ie. ticket prices. With Catalans probably bringing no fans it seems to me to be an attempt to gauge exactly how many people are honestly interested in Rugby League in Salford. Potentially, if you dont break the 8k mark, my fear is he will know that no matter what he does he will never get massive crowds and will use this as an excuse to walk away in the future.

I think you also have to take into consideration the fact the team are currently next to the bottom of SL and under performing again, due mainly to many injuries and suspensions. As I've said before admission prices are secondary and it's the product that sells. Just because it's free I still wouldn't expect it to attact thousands more people. Generally if something is free people naturally perceive it as worthless.
