I agree with you red tide i was a little angry that after being told not to go on the pitch and john wilko saying there will be a memento day. They all still go on and WRECK the place. I had a look at some pics after everyone left and advertising boards just left on the pitch i felt so ashamed SO WELL DONE TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED

Anyone have any idea what's going on with the turf memento that season ticket holders had the option of at the beginning of the season?

To paintrain

I took my wife and eldest step daughter and four year old son to Sundays game and every one of us enjoyed every minute of it, except obviously the result and performance, but when we saw the gates open so we could go on the pitch, we did!!!

Just to mention as well, I did witness stewards "allowing" advertising hoardings to be pulled and ripped from the sides, and walking around with them, with nothing said, whos to blame???

From what I saw, I think some people are being a tad hysterical. I don't know the extent of what was nicked but it looked to me as if it was nothing of real value. It's certainly naive to think this kind of thing wasn't going to happen. I actually thought we'd see masses of turf coming up, so it could have been much worse.

I agree. You would think it was Salford riots part 2 the way some people are going on.

When I went to the final game at Oldham, I saw spades being carried in for the post-match turfing.

My query remains ... do I go this Sunday to see if I can purchase (?) a memento or do I leave it and put Wilkinson's comments down to post-final match emotion. It means a journey from Rochdale and so has to be planned.

Re turf option I did not opt for the turf as I wanted a shirt so I had all three shirts used in our final season. However I would really like a tiny bit of where I have wept blood since ... a hell of a long time ago.

I may be wrong, but I thought I heard that there was still a charity football match to come - so they'll need the pitch for that.

My recollection of what the Chairman said was that any fans who would like to select any items that the club feels they could have then the club has to be contacted and that is what I intend to do.

I have selected the turf option and I eagerly await a call from the club,there is a space ready and waiting at home.

I imagine the scoreboard would look pretty good in my front garden.
It would permanently display:
Salford 26
Wigan. 16
Happy days

that is what i heard. An event this weekend, then a football match. but i didnt hear him say this weekend was when you could take a momento.

What about Paul Highton's testimonial game?

That could go in JJs front garden with the scoreboard,that would be like being in heaven or Walkden Cricket Club.

We should give the scoreboard to Swinton for their Agecroft site.

I wonder if we'll be taking the sticks to the new place or whether we'll get new ones.
