Bobby it must be wonderful in your world

Apart from.the advertiser highlighting the new stadium. What have the club actually done to market season tickets and the new ground? Not living in salford, have they done any advertising at all? Billboards people on the precinct handing out info leaflets, leaflets through letterboxes...etc..... also are we still with rock radio? Has there been any radio advertising? or have they as I suspect done nothing?

The club did have an opportunity to hand out a basic ' in plain English ' season ticket deal to 10,146 Salford fans in one afternoon , but that was beyond them.

well the marketing manager is a McNugget and he is new at the job, so give him a little more time to learn the ropes.

Who is McNugget?

I'm surprised we've sold 90.

I'm not listing the reasons why, as I've done so several times on this forum and I'm beginning to sound like a broken record.

However, I've been following the Reds since 1997 and I've decided I am not following the Team to Barton.

I wish the Club all the best .......and for all those fans who've decided to carry on, God bless you all!

Im sure a lot of people have felt the same rooted red, but the club NEED us now. I know they have messed up, got things wrong and generally been pretty amateruish, BUT, if us fans stick together and get the 8000 average we need to break even.....things COULD change beyond recognition and we might finally get the club we deserve. Things have been bad, but I cant walk away now without giving them a chance to turn it round at the staidum. Spread the word people lets get barton full!!

Red1 I admire your optimism, yes I am probably one of the 1000 or so who as already renewed my season ticket, out of loyalty not out desire but I do wonder how long my loyalty will remain. I so hope I am proven wrong & things go right on the pitch & we achieve 8000 plus at each home game. I would dearly love you to tell me who said we could achieve 8000 average per home game to break-even, would it be Tarry or Simms by any chance? Next they will be telling us pigs can fly!

John wilkinson has quoted that out business model needs 8000 to spend the full cap.

It is a shame the board did not take on the marketing mantle needed to bring in the missing 5000

Agreed.
The managements thinking is hilarious.


I know, lets move the ground over to the outer city suburbs, and we'll increase our gates to an average of 8k without any marketing and PR ploys,

Absolute genius.
