A Panjandrum basically is a `know all`. What we have here though is a self confessed `Big Know all`. Dearie me.

If the lad was fighting in 1946 then we would all be speaking German. Come on lad show a bit of positivity. As the Butcher says - look forward not back.

Sale somehow still get 4700 to watch their inferior game. That must be our initial average target though the fixture list was obviously prepared by Nigel Wood to keep MK in a Mr Angry mode.

If we can aim for an equivalent start of 7,000 as with the Wakey game AND put up a decent show I feel very optimistic about the future and thats why imo The Big P is well wide of the mark.

This is spot on.

Are you a Salford fan Mario, a question you've been asked a couple of times but studiously avoided.

I am no fan of the Barton stadium and very critical of its placement.
However I have no choice in where the club play: I either accept it or move away to another pursuit. Nor have I a say in the team selection, the tactics we follow or the price of the half-time pie.
I therefore, as with much of my life, accept things are not perfect.

A ground I really miss is Watersheddings but no one can regret that mixed aroma of hot dogs with onions and old urine that wafted from the left corner of the home stand (Ripponden Road end) (the burger seller was beside the toilet). We had a similar issue in the '70's at the Willows (Wortley Avenue entrance).

Nostalgia always makes imperfection good.

How many Salford fans actually come from/live in Weaste?

I seem to remember there was once a poll taken asking where fans lived. I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) that very few people actually lived in Weaste.

So the whole 'heart of the community' argument doesn't do anything for me.

I don't live in Salford, nor do a lot of other fans.

This is pretty spot on.

Its an Urban Myth isnt it?

And some of us are not even English, or live in the Salford, let alone Greater Manchester area

Cows fecal matter.. It's cold & dark there's no rugby League on... that's when all the trolls come out to play ..

the Salford 70's side was successful & well attended at the same time as Man-U in the George Best Dennis Law years.
It doesn't preclude a dominant Soccer team automatically means no other sport has a chance . We like to blame the nickname stealing neighbours , but he truth of it is we've been a poor performing club for decades .

Weak Grassroots Rugby L , is more an indictment on Barla & the RFL than the professional clubs ,
Warrington isn't exactly a hotbed of grassroots rugby , yet they have a reasonable attendance & silverware , initially from a mercenary side brought in to do a job.
We just need to get off our behinds and attend, and the team needs to get Into the habit of winning 3,4 or 5 in a row and most of these insurmountable issues won't be issues at all

Ahh but my best mate in the whole of RL land Mich the red wants to tap in to communities so there must be some mileage in it.

The club needs to have a big promotional push to all the resident living within a two mile radius of the stadium.

Can't see a huge uptake from the flyover nor from Barton Aerodrome but hey you are tucked in at the heartlands of Salford.... Massive community and all.
