What I cant understand and trying to keep on the topic, is why would Marwan want to look at building a "new home" for Swinton when we are playing our rugby at lets be honest, a crap ground with zero atmosphere due to the fact the standing section is packed in behind the sticks, that is mostly inaccessible and utterly inadequate? We pay for the privilege of playing at this venue, surely its time for the doc to look at building a proper home. This would bring the fans back and get passing customers

I agree. We had loads of offers at the start of the season, however no one knew how to order them as they were unavailable online and no one answered the various phone numbers that were provided. At least they have whittled it down to one phone number now which is actually answered so that is an improvement.

It was pleasantly surprising to see a leaflet advertising the Hull game included with the class of 92 tickets. Hope there has been a decent take up on this.

It's also good to see us going around the schools however it's virtually impossible for groups of mates of high school age to attend together due to the lack of transport issues. Will hopefully get a few convincing their parents to take them but it's a shame we don't/can't attract groups of young uns who can have a day out with their mates and have a bit of a laugh/balloon/sing song etc.

I think this would be a great idea. I think Wigan do something similar for their Season Ticket holders. If the club did that and maybe targetted two games a season where the vouchers were valid. This would create a large gate for two games and what an atmosphere it would be for any new prospective fans.

Maybe not looking too promising - tweet to & from Martin Vickers



I still think it beggars belief that Peel own both the airfield and the stadium yet couldn't get their act together in coordinating activities between the two resulting in this late fixture change - barking mad!

I live within a 10 minute walk of the ground and ive had no flyers through my door , yesterday i bought my mrs a ticket and wasn`t given or told about the child ticket i could have claimed , theres a lad 2 doors down who has started to go , it could have gone to him .

Someone once explained why this isn't what you do (can't remember who it was). If you put offers on too early, you give people time to forget or to find something else to do on the day (remember, if the tickets are free, the recipients aren't losing anything by not going). So, you put offers on in the week leading up to the game to try to ensure a better take up.

Really don't buy that!!

I travel from Warrington for each and every home game using 2 modes of public transport and have zero issues!!

I feel people use transport issues as an easy excuse!!

well instead of relying on the club so much, why don't we all try and do our bit by getting friends and work collgues there! We can make a difference here so lets try and all bring at least 1 extra person on Saturday!!

Maybe you are right but the transport links are poor. Hopefully people will find a way to get there if/when we start winning. Time will tell.

To many coming by bus seem dependant on the 67 , the m10 to brookhouse does a virtual tour of Salford down lr Broughton rd , cromwell , the precinct , langworthy rd , tootal drive and your only a ten min walk when you get off ,plus its a saturday evening if you want to be there you will unless your working .

Anyone know if the coach stops by the Weaste Hotel?

On the club site it goes from the. Chandon Club no mention of Weaste Hotel.

I’ve managed to persuade two guys to come tonight and hope a few more reds fans have done the same! Unfortunately the last time I brought a party of potential new supporters it was against Wigan! Poor performance, poor crowd! But I fear the worst tonight because when I went to collect the tickets on Weds I was informed ticket sales had been very bad…. Don’t think Sat night KO is going to help either.

If the crowd is poor then whoever picked Saturday evening has to take some blame (as well as whoever didn't realise there was a clash with the Aerodrome event when the fixtures were drafted) - it has consistently been our poorest slot for attracting crowds. Friday night or Saturday afternoon would have been better - we've only had one Friday night game this season and it got 6k (admittedly we still had some early season optimism at the time).

Whenever you start moving futures you're going to get a drop off too. I'll usually wait for the futures to come out then plan things around it - when the futures move then you're stuck. I know of at least 4 people who would have been at the game in its original slot but can't go tonight.
