What a joke we are, some people really need sacking from the club.

...... for those of us who haven't seen the Boots 'n' All article, is anybody able to enlighten us ?
Thanks

JJ they did reports on Sts new stadium udate + interview with a board member at the club & also discused Wakey & Cas stadium merger with an interview with a cas board member + both sets of fans.
Eddie then remarked that Salford were asked but didnt get back to them.

What fans have to realize is, it is not OUR stadium to make statements about, it will belong to the community & Peel who have a joint venture, so therefore, it is up to them to make any statements, not the club.

They ran a feature on St Helens' new stadium and on the proposals for a Wakey/Cas groundshare. At the end of that they said that if there's any Salford fans watching, they aren't ignoring Salford; they asked Salford for information for a feature and the club didn't get back to them after saying it would. Great.

What the club has to realise is that Sky are the paymasters and that Boots n All is the sport's main magazine show. If the club do not wish to a) look stupid, b) look lazy, or c) look like they are trying to cover something up, then they themselves need to either get the best information they can from Peel and the Council to give to Sky, or at least get some sort of statement to them - Not give the impression that they've done nothing. Whilst it may well not be a stadium built and owned by Salford City Reds let's not pretend that it's absolutely noting to do with the club, without them nobody would be building a stadium and a plot of contaminated land in the city would continue to lie unused.

Come on Shirl I know your involved with the club and have strong connections, but lets not make excuses for what is a very poor effort by the club. Why say they'd get back then not? Its p!ss poor. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but are the stadiums of Saints and Cas/Wakey their own ventures? I don't think they are yet they all still managed to make a statement on them.

Thanks for the replies folks.
Don't really know what to think.
One thing for sure is that a lack of reply seems like a hell of a way to alienate us still further from the big clubs, traditional clubs and other hotbed clubs.
Jeez it's hard enough being stuck in this football mad city of ours as it is.
Although as BBM points out, it's not actually our development.
Nonetheless, a little more enthusiasm on the PR front wouldn't go amiss.

Well the general lack of any kind of promotion from the club regaurding the progress of the work is dissapointing, I did think they might have approached Barton Flyer to use some of the shots he took from the old Sopwith Camel but obviously didnt.
Think for the Boots and All program we could have got someone from both the council and Peel to assist, would have been marvelous PR for all three entitiies to be seen to even in these times or great hardship to be pooling resources and working towards providing a lasting legacy for the community of Salford and beyond.

Does seem rather unprofessional not not even get back to say they couldn't comment as it isnt strictly our stadium.

Can't believe that anybody would defend the club on this. Fact is... when the chairman is unavailable... nobody knows what to do.

There would have been panic... "oh no... Sky want to know something about the stadium... whatever are we going to do ? The Chairman isn't here"

Perhaps we ask the PR department....

"Stadium ? We are building a stadium ? Serious ? Nobody told us."

Shambles.

Funny,

Harsh,

But sadly fair.

laughing stock of the 1 st degree, just watched boots n all and they dont even give us a good review of our game it was all about Bradford and how poor they played......the only positive comment was at the beginning when eddie says jodie' try was try of the season, dont think it will some how reckon tomkins will get that one as well. And dont they have phones in america could know one have rung the chairman and what does tarry do these days.......

I watched it last night and it really angered me. Surely sombody could have picked the phone up and said 'The chairmans unavailable so could we possibly change it to in a few weeks'. That doesnt look as bad as not replying. Yes sky have never give us a good review or rarely show us but we should still be proffesional about it. Its a shame aswel as I drove past on Sunday and things are shaping up nicely, dont think I've ever seen that many tractors in one place in my life

drove pass it last night over the bridge it is really coming on well, got a photo but dont know how to put it on here sorry.. i know why we as fans send are pictures to bootsnall..

disgraceful !our club is a joke at times when it comes to things like this!no excuses!

I think that looks worse in a way, its like saying "The chairman is away and none of the other club officials/directors have a clue whats going on"

'kin farce
