Koukash and AJ Bell Stadium

Quote: TheButcher "I detect a theme here...

LIST 1.
When we start winning, the crowds will come.
When the road's finished, the crowds will come.
When the infrastructure around the Stadium is complete, the crowds will come.
When a community pops-up around the Stadium, the crowds will come.
When we get another new stadium, the crowds will come.
When we go on the road, the crowds will come.

Previous to these we had...

LIST 2.
When we get a new stadium, the crowds will come.
When we get a competitive team, the crowds will come.
When we go to Fridays/Sundays, the crowds will come.

The crowds have not come.

Now, who's willing to bet that the excuses/reasons listed in the first list wont turn out like the excuses/reasons in the second list?

Do you think we just have to battle it out where we are and do it right off the pitch combined with consistent improvement on it? I'm beginning to think so. Every quick fix reason we're given turns out to not be true. There's certainly no evidence that any of the reasons we all allude to will actually be right.'"

You can add a few more to list 2 Butcher.

When we get rid of Tarry and Simms etc, etc
When we improve our marketing and communication.
When we stop giving away complimentary tickets.
When we start working closer with local amateur clubs.
When we stop signing old players.
When we speculate and spend more money on better players.

Whether we like it or not, Salford Red Devils is an extremely hard sell to the vast majority of the Salford public but we should never stop trying or believing. You could say the club has tried almost everything now apart from abducting people off the streets, but the one missing thing has been a successful team. For instance, every other club in superleague has been to Wembley at least 10 years after we last played there. Plus 6 other clubs not even in SL now.
