Be careful what you wish for people said we wouldn't get near 10k for the final game and we passed it easy in the end
what we are forgetting its not just open to salford supporters I heard Bupa and various other organisations and the council have promoted this event so you just never know how many people will rock up

I agree 1000 is a big ask but 50 from one organisation and 50 from another only needs a few and suddenly its within touching distance.
We shall see I surpose but its worth getting in the £25 in early to guarantee a spot by the 2nd December.

WTF!? fella the crowd was 146 over 10k, I wouldn't say easily passed it! I would expect them to say "tickets are going fast" it doesn't mean it's true, it's a very old selling technique, make people believe their missing out on something and hope they bite.

Reading between the lines (as I can't be d reading the whole thread or openning another window) is somebody seriously requesting people to raise £25.00 and walk to the new stadium to watch a non event, just so they can say they had the privilidge of attending the first openning and game of the new stadium?

I'm sure even Jeremy Beadle couldn't have thought that up or that indeed Dick Turpin is still alive?

Hope I'm wrong and I've missed something here, apologise if so

P.S. If I'm to assume the money is being raised for charity fair do's to the charity, I hope they get plenty. Sorry I won't be donating.

Are there two walks? 27th December: www.reds.co.uk/rugby-news/walk-t ... -this-xmas 28th December: www.salfordcitystadium.com/event ... dium-walk/

You will all probably end up lost anyway.

The salford foundation moved the date to the 27th FROM the 28th

I`m not doing the walk so it matters little to me,but besides the web site there are conflicting dates on the stadium fb page so some one needs to be pulling their finger out..

One also says that you need to raise £25 for one and the other costs £50, do you get a discounted BOGOF rate for both

Seriously, is this a joke?

No, its Salford.

Bobby your talents are wasted here, ever thought of working on death row ? as I'm sure you'd do your best to convince the blokes waiting for the chair that all will be alright in the end.

I think , £ 15 per single entry donation - £25 Family would have been reasonable ,

I've run 3 10k's so far this year for recognisable charities like MS & Alzheimers Soc and to be honest raising sponsorship for them was a slog .
I'm not looking forward to asking for money to wander down Liverpool rd. to watch an academy game I would normally see for free at the old place , I'd need to run it for anybody to sponsor me .

Also this begs a question , does the ground have undersoil heating ? how can they be certain it will be fit for play in December after the last two heavy winters we've had?

Well after mulling it over, I've signed up. The Foundation do a hell of a lot of good work plus it's a chance to get into a match with a load of other people paying for me.
