| Fair enough so TheRedshed's comment regarding people from Salford referring to being from Manchester are indeed technically wrong then.....
It doesn't really bother me which county we belong too however it does bother me when people born in Salford answer to being from Manchester regardless of whether we have a city centre or not.

How can it be wrong for someone born in Greater Manchester to say they are from Manchester? Manchester just being a general answer that is not specific to city or county.
Would it be wrong for people born in Greater London to say they are from London?

Because Greater Manchester is not the same as Manchester. That would mean it would be OK for people from Oldham, Rochdale, Wigan, Bolton and so on to say they're from Manchester. They're not and I doubt they'd ever claim to be.

| I'd rather put hot pins in my eyes than change our name. I certainly wouldn't support a Manchester team!

| What are you lot on about?
It’s a hypothetical situation brought about by a misunderstanding!
We just love to argue about anything on this site and we all need to grow up!
As I can’t see that happening any time soon so I want in.
No one wants it to change to Manchester, but if it did, would people stop going or fall out of love with the club? You’re a fickle lot.
Oh and Lancashire.

That's a very ironic post considering the tone of it.

Thought the tone was light hearted, or are you just angling for an argument?
Cant help yourself can you!

If you say so.
Quote: redmatt77 "or are you just angling for an argument?'"
Yes. That's exactly what it is. Well done on seeing straight through me.
Quote: redmatt77 "Cant help yourself can you!'"
Obviously not.
Carry on.

| This has been doing the rounds since the mid 90's SL mergers were discussed.
Clubs adoption of brand names - Bulls - Rhino's - Warriors & Reds were in a way to offset dependance on the town name for SL audiences, old fans chant the town name , new fans rattle their merchandise and chant the brand name . The ultimate manifestation of this is American Football teams where teams are moved at will SKY IS THE LIMIT,( D Tarry )The report shows that in real terms the move to a new stadium will enable Salford City Reds to draw from a much wider pool of support and provide Super League with a club that capitalises on a regional, Greater Manchester audience – something which the current location is unable to achieve.
For more than a decade now the club has asserted that in order to make any great advances a new stadium is more of a necessity than a luxury. In Salford City Reds case the club cannot break out of its inner city doldrum without breaking out of the inner city – this stated aim will, without any doubt, now be achieved before the end of 2011.
As I noted in our last submission, it is important to realise that the Sportswise report highlights that we can expect to attract an average of at least 8500 supporters in the first year drawing solely from within the boundaries of the City of Salford which has a population of 220,000 people. This would be a return of just 4% from the club’s traditional target market. When you consider that the population of the Manchester region is in excess of 2.5 million, we need only to attract a little over 0.1% of that extended market to take our crowds beyond 12,500 (and indeed beyond the phase 1 capacity of the City of Salford Community Stadium).'"
rlhttps://www.sportswise.info/rl
it's this blind adherence to these BS management consultantants that has led us firstly to a muddy field with diabolical parking , and nearly to it's collapse after another bunch of toffs came up with blindingly obvious statements about the way the club was being led & marketed then argued over the bill.
What a report should have said Win more than you lose , Be a regular Playoff team , get to a final , maybe even win something [/i)
they will automatically become ' Manchesters ' RL team , but just calling ourselves ' Manchester ' is pointless .

| Why we ever dropped the "Devils" bit of our name is beyond me. The Original Red Devils and we drop the "Devils" bit and change our badge, mascot etc!!! Beggars belief!
Have to agree on the gobe australians too. Meal ticket comes to mind!!!

Nail on the head and exactly why Swinton is Swinton and not Salford.

| I hope that if and when this so called deal is done, that anybody who as been involved for the past 30years within this club is issed right off.The damage these people have done is unforgiveable.The decline of amateur teams,the kids not playing our sport,the lack of interest in the people of Salford who could`nt care less about how Salford are doing.Moving away from the Willows to some god forsaken smit hole,you could`nt make it up.No plan,players wanting to leave left right and centre,players sueing the club,its a complete uck up.How long its going to take to get this stink removed i don`t know,but it needs a bleeding big broom.And don`t` give me Moon as turned down Leeds to stay here,because?
