That's all artificial though. Essentially the club should concentrate on grabbing control of their public image - their PR. They are already getting encouraging results on the pitch despite a lightweight pack. And with a proper fans facility at the new ground (we're looking at you SMC) it makes it easier for us to encourage mates to come down. Word of mouth then comes naturally.

Tickets for the Broncos Game , aren't even appearing on the Club site , although Ticketline do list the Broncos & Leeds fixtures when you follow the link from the already played Hull game.
I notice that only the West & the South Stands will be open for the London Game .

how can people blame us for apathy if the club cannot even be left alone to promote their next game which is 5 days away on their own site !!

When you look at the minimal amount of support we take to away games. Many of which don't go due to extra costs etc... I find it difficult to believe people would be willing to give the club extra cash for nothing. I know I certainly wouldn't. As my finances are much needed elsewhere.

As for collection buckets.......... you'd be lucky if there was any cash in them at the end of the game. Good causes struggle to get spare change off the terraces as it is. Never mind the " why should we give the club more money brigade"

Forever Reds have done all sorts to raise cash for the club. Just look at the apathetic attitude most people have towards that.

swinton have more members than we have in FR, we are raising money and punching way above our size to help the club, but apathy rules and too many people couldn't give a t055, but are happy to moan if the club are not paying for the best players. it is upto us to sort it out and try and get your mates to come to next match and why not go to the FR site and find out about joining.

Winds me up this forever reds malarky, I've said it before, those who run it should promote it more, hand flyers out at games, have a stall set up at home games to encourage people to join. The spot the gym people have would be idea if they had a stand there. Forever reds is a group of people on this website in a certain clique, I'm not a member but would be willing to join, if people at home games handed out flyers explaing what they do, you'd see an higher intake of members. Rant over.

FR is not a group of people in a "certain" cliche, we are a small group of fans who have one thing in common the love of Salford, the stuff you suggest has been done, we have stood at the willows handing out flyers put stuff in the prohgramme and got mentions in the Salford Advertiser, we advertise our meetings and which players will be there and we don't charge non-members (you would think that they would join at the meeting). we are planning some stuff this year, but it will be the same old same old who will be there, we have the AGM coming up shortly which would be a great time to meet new members.
Watch this space.

If your not a FR member and never been to a meeting how do you know that they are a certain clique?

I am a FR member and I have different views on some things than Pev and other people and we are certainly no clique.

If you haven't seen or heard or read anything about FR at the matches, especially at the Willows or in the RL press or even on Radio Manchester then you must go to matches and live with a blindfold and ear muffs on.

FR are a very dedicated group of people whose sole aim is to help the Salford City Reds in any way that it can,ask Alan Hunte if FR is a clique or not ask the Physio their opinion or better still just watch for the next meeting and come down and see what goes on.

And you never know you may even volunteer to help out one day.

It is nothing to do with people on here running the club down,If every post on this site was saying the opposite
It would still be the same,we new we were going to the new ground two years.most people on here thought we were
going to move,with a great big fanfare,In so much that we let a coach who was probably going at the end of the season
and Mr Simms to bring in eight new players,we now know last season was a disaster,and not a spring board to a new
start at a new stadium.I was at a meeting,Mr Simms telling people we wanted more away fans to come,so what do we
do, we play on Friday night,I have been to Hull lots of time,and would sooner go on Sunday.The people running the club
always thought build a new stadium,and people would come running,they now know the reality,we have got to have a
team,and now people want a winning team,the time to judge is at the end of the season,Warrington did not get fans
over night,only when they started fetching over top Australians and started winning matches,Bradford have not got
the team they had.So they have not got the same fans they once had.

I am a FR member but only pay my money when asked but never attend due to work commitments, when is the next meeting of FR to take place as I would like to try & attend?

Wooooah hold ya horses baby cakes!

1. I rarely comment on here, and it's obvious their is a clique, maybe if you don't see it, it's because your one of them....

2. When was the last time at the Willows there was forever reds people giving leaflets out? As I normally came in through the turnstyle from the club shop or the far corner near the ginnel. Only people who approached me were programme sellers and golden gamble sellers. Can't remember anyone on Rugbyleague phone in mentioning the forever reds, I didn't listen last Thursday so I could be wrong. Also Why dosen't anyone post stuff on Salford facebook page as people seem to talk on there also ask salfordonline to post and put of there website? So am afraid georgous I am keeping my eyes open and ear's peeled. Also since I been to new stadium no F/R presence, although on Friday I was made aware to check my testicals

Am not saying the people involved are no dedicated, when I say this I don't mean it disrespectfully, if your going to do something do it properly and not half hearted. I'm willing to donate so spare pennies for a good cause but as I'm not "dedicated" I wouldn't know what the money goes to oppose to lining peoples trips to Catalan

So if anyone wants 10 sheets of me I'll be at the London game and show me where to sign up!

next meeting will be announced shortly, surely a bit of libel, (I wouldn't know what the money goes to oppose to lining peoples trips to Catalan) as it states ask Alan Hunte where the money goes, this season we are also running sponsor a try again, last season if you sponsored at try home and away a £100 quid would have been raised imagine if 1000 fans had just done that simple thing we could have raised £100,000, now that sort of money can change things at the club., currently for each £1 a try the total stands at £15 owed by each fan after only 4 games.

What kind of clique spends the best part of 9 years trying to get more people involved, invites everybody to meetings, and holds elections every year with an invitation every year for people to stand for the board (only for nobody to come forward)?

There's plenty of people I've met through Forever Reds who I'd never met or spoken to before seeing them at meetings - that's not exactly cliquey.

And for those asking, the next meeting is going to be a Monday towards the end of March - awaiting confirmation on the venue. The plan is to hold 7 fans meetings this year and we're looking at the possibility of moving around different venues around the city.
