| Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "I do a fair bit of work in and around Salford, and like the majority of the north of England, its a bit of a s***hole - Its probably the reason that Super League struggles so much finding sponsorship, because not many flagship companies would want to nail their mast to a sport that is entrenched so deeply within the working classes who follow RL.
From a money-making point of view, sponsoring RL is never going to be a goer, purely because most of the folk who follow the sport don't have much cash to spend on the potential sponsor's products.'"
oh my word. A more blinkered and uneducated post i have yet to see on here. You sir are an ass. Where is the bbc again? Salford is one of, if not the most forward thinking cities in England. Yes, there are poor areas, but compared to our younger brother Manchester we are streets ahead in that regard. Ever been to Gorton, or longsight, or levenshulme, or ancoats, or openshawe, or collyhurst, or newton heath, or moston, or harpurhey, or blackley or myriad other places in Manchester? Or myriad places in London? Or Castleford? EVERY city has poor areas. Salford is THE city atm, and now our savior the right honourable sir Marwan has nailed his considerable colours to our mast the sponsors will come flooding in. Get a grip.

You know you've arrived when your new gaff is held up as an example of how nice Salford is, where is the garden picture taken?
I think it's obvious we're all reacting to a troll as only a simpleton would make an assumption that Salford is like any other town/city that as cack holes and nice areas. The thing with Salford is that there seems to be significant investment in the city and with the relocation of certain aspects of the BBC there is tangible proof that what is being done is working.

The trees are Buile Hill Park, the flower beds are Peel Park.

isn't this Garden in Peel Park a representation of the RL challenge Cup , Designed by the Salford Parks Dept to celebrate the 1938 cup win ? or is this an 'urban garden myth'

As much as I admire your defence of Salford, I fear posting those pictures is only going to encourage trolls to post other pictures of some 'less picturesque' areas.

That's fine. I'll just post 'less picturesque' photos of wherever it is they happen to live.

Poor post badly put. In short, bad point not well made
You've certainly made yourself look a bit daft here and that's putting it as politely as I can.

![Confused icon_confused.gif](images/smilies//icon_confused.gif) ..... I've pointed out that the North of England isn't that great and it could be a reason the sport struggles to make money and much of an impact nationally??.... That isn't such an outrageous thought, surely??

A value judgement if ever there was one - in case you need a definition: an assessment that reveals more about the values of the person making the assessment than about the reality of what is assessed.

Are you talking Rugby League here or any sport, as of course the North West is home to one of the biggest Football clubs in the world and certainly possibly and arguably the wealthiest club in the Premiership.....but hey they must struggle for sponsors in your world too.

| Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "
The two parts of your comment are surely not connected whether or not I agree with your point part of the sport's problem nationally might be more to do with the narrowness of its geographical appeal rather than the north being great or not?
Admittedly, when attracting investment through sponsorship this narrowness may also be 'aided' by a perceived lack of ABC1 types watching the sport you've only got to reflect on the money involved in the America Cup on the limited appeal of super yachting to be convinced that money talks
Maybe this and you tarring the whole of the north rather than singling out anywhere in particular convinces you that you aren't being outrageous but I will stick with my original response that this is a bad point not well made
