Just another quick question for you regulars.. what the parking like around the ground?

Welcome to the greatest sport and a rollercoster of a club. Supporting Salford can be difficult, frustrating and then rewarding.

Can I suggest that you practice the following before the next home game

Cum on ref get em on side

forwarddddddddd

You have to understand that certain areas of the shed will always accuse the ref of being biased, not knowing the rules or being a self abuser.

If you listen to people from other clubs it's shocking but in reality it's not that bad, might be better parking on Morrisons in Eccles after 6 on Fridays as it's free and then it's only a couple of tram stops away.

I've always parked on Gore rd. My car doesn't have any salford stuff on it and has never been vandalized in all the years I've parked down there. It's also easier for getting away from the ground.

Fungus just remind me where is "Gore Road" ?

Cheers for that, ive managed to get a few Macc Town fans to join me, so there will probably be 5 of us attending the game.

What the pubs like around the ground?

Dour to say the least! Its more a residential area, I'd be unsure what your best bet would be?

The Hope - 10 min walk probably the nicest/expensive.

The Height (various pubs) - too far.

The Weaste - 3 min walk, sruffy as. Utd pub.

The Chandos Sports & Social Club - Very nice, excellent beer, clean & welcoming (small). 5 min walk

The Conservative Club - 5 second walk, slightly less scruffy than The Weaste.

The Grey Mare - Decent but out of the way. 10 min walk

The Ashley Brook - Never been in, never wanted to. 10 min walk

The Pendleton British Legion - Very nice but again out of the way. 15 min walk

Eccles (various) - Easy reach to ground by Tram, some good some bad. Depends how much time you got.

All fine establishments if you ask me

Macc Red; if you have Sky, have a watch of State of Origin at 5pm. If you're not familiar with the concept, State of Origin is an annual 3 match series between New South Wales and Queensland. It's basically as good as RL gets. I hear this year, as well as being screened in the UK, Europe, NZ and the far east, it was also screened for the first time in central and southern Africa and to a potential audience of 40 million people in America. So clearly a big deal... Some argue that in generations to come, as big as if not bigger than the Superbowl!!! It really should be...

Con Club on weaste lane 50p to get in but it's nice and cheap.

Edited for accuracy.

Just to add my two penn'orth:

The Weaste - improved of late
The Grey Mare - gone down hill a bit of late
Ashley Brook - nice boozer. Holts.

Talking about places to drink, the Willows needs mentioning. There are two bars inside the ground behind the posts that fans can use. The downstairs Tavern is more like a pub, and the upstairs in a large cabaret room that let you overlook the pitch and watch the under 20s game befor hand (usually). Neither the quality of the beer or the pricing is great, but it's a decent starting point for new fans as you'll be in a rugby atmosphere (in some of the pubs in the area nobody knows there's a game on). If you go into any turnstile you can go in these bars.

With the bars inside the ground is the rules on taking a beer into the stand the same as football grounds, I saw a few people on saturday taking beers to the seats?

Obviously the Willows is terracing so may be a different story.

But all good info, Cheers peeps, I did watch the State of Origin game, I learnt a little bit more.
