Who sold us out to the stadium company my well educated friend?  |

That would be Keith Snape . he it was who sold the Variety Centre to Greenalls so the club could ' reduce its debts' , but this meant that the club stopped receiving any bar takings which was an integral income for the business, the club had been recording debts for the previous 4 seasons , Keith Snape presided over the sale of our best players to other clubs ie Prescott to Widnes , and the season before Wilkinson took over the team were relegated from Division 1.
Yes I remember ... |

| In 1967 the club were the leading light in rugby league circles using the takings from the Variety centre and casino to pay for the team on the pitch and despite world known players such as David Watkins signing we still couldn't get more than 6,000 on average through the gates. When the variety centre was sold the revenue stream went with it, so when Snape sold the club were in debt, in fact in 1982 Salford had to raise money to keep going and so was born the SOS Save Our Salford campaign, that JW's first action after becoming Chairman, without that we may not have been on this site discussing transport and parking at the new ground. As foe staying at the Willows, Super League had already indicated that they won't shiny new stadia so no new stadia no Super league franchise.
But for some on this site they won't have to bother with getting to the new ground because they keep stating they are not bothering yet still come on here to moan, why not go and support Warrington or Wigan, these clubs might suit you as they begin with your favourite letter.  |

It is exactly as you state, no new stadium no SL, Leigh were put in a similar position, we were given an ultimatum, agree to sign up ' unconditionally ' to the LSV or Hilton park will have its safety certificate reduced to 1000 capacity , all this verbally of course , so if we had ' dug our heels in ' , the council would have acused the Leigh BOD of refusing a free state of the art brand new stadium because we wanted money as well , we were put in a no win situation
If the Salford board had turned Barton down and now been languishing in the Championship with Swinton i have no doubt the anger i

I will be bringing a coach load of supporters from Hull when we play Salford. Any idea if coaches are catered for with parking ?

There are coach parking bays just over the new access bridge so I' expect there wouldn't be an issue, had a mooch yesterday and they have started to level all the spare land and put some hardcore over it so I'd suspect that until all the retail unit construction work starts that they will ask you to lob your people off the bus near the new bridge and then have the coaches parked up on that land out of the way.

| It would probably be cheaper to park a coach than it will a car  |
