IF WIDNES DESERVE A PLACE IN SUPER LEAGUE.......THEN THE POPE IS JEWISH!:33469.jpg



silly as at it sounds!heres an idea,there are enough empty shops on salford precinct at the mo so cudnt the club set aside a few quid and try rent one on say a short 6 month lease to try and promote things a bit??a bit of merchandise for sale,cheap tickets etc??lets face i know the place is depressing but it is the central hub of salford as such and the willows is out the way a bit for a few people so for example when half of fellow salfordians claim there dole and socail money we cud do a big offer every now and again next year for em!

Who shops on Salford Precinct? All I read is once Tesco move no one will go there.

We would be better off getting Peel to allow space in the Trafford Centre during the recession.

Why cant the Trafford put up a weekly advert onthe big screen announcing the games. get some of the injured players there giving out leaflets or selling discounted tickets ..

Loads of students do, and they are a group we should be targeting in my opinion. Granted, you won't get any near the amount of residual income from them than young families; but the offer of a cheap night out will prick their ears up.

That said, the reason why loads of retailers moved out of Salford Precinct was because the shop rents went up sharply after Salford Council revealed a huge deficit 5+ years ago. The price wasn't commensurate with the shopper demographic i.e. poor area, not big spenders.

Therefore, I too doubt opening a shop on the Precinct would be a wise investment. A market stall, however, might be a better option; but then you have issues with brand integrity. Getting the online shop working should be a given, but less than 30% of Salfordians have access to the internet (2007 figures, can't find the link).

Also, I doubt many people actually read the Advertser's sports section. The guess the Santa season ticket competition at the start of the year attracted a whopping 40-odd entries. And only one got the answer correct.

I remember the Caravan and the Cubby hole on the precinct, but neaither was eye catching. To have this sort of retail it needs to have good merchandising sold by people who care.

There was a post by Chris before where he mentioned the shop becoming a place to hang out when he ran it. That's what it should be, if we had room it should have an aread for fans, maybe a coffee bar etc.

I actually think that the trafford centre, Meadowhall Sheffield and Metro Centre gateshead should be a target for the RFL to market the game.

These shops could sell all the shirts including national ones, they could show where the game is played at all levels. Tickets and promotions, players etc could be used. get Sky involved, maybe you can be the video ref stuff. Even a Vox for feedback.


I know too much time on my hands.

Those were the glory days, dont have the time to do it these days unfortunatly icon_sad.gif

I think a shop in Salford precinct would be a great idea, if the rents too expensive how about eccles, monton, walkden or the height, perhaps the club should trial it perhaps for 12 mths see if we got regular custom from people and would give us a tool to market the club with.

If it doesnt work ditch it least they can say they tried it and they didnt get enough custom

Salford RLFC Folly ARLFC Good john wilky last looked out on the pitch at salford. when the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even brightly played the lads that night though the frost was cruelllll when poor swinton scored a try we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg



Maybe if the trafford centre could give a little bit of a mention to us on the big screen in the orient, not sure if its been done before it probaly has, but I've never seen us mentioned.

how about cleaning up around the willows.
if you come from the coach park you have to hurdle what looks and smells like a pond of toilet water, and on the way out the hurdleing has to be done in the dark. the alleys down eather side of the pitch are full of broken bottles or dog poo, a good sweep befor each game would do wonders for the place. I noticed Wakefields grond is not too different to ours with the only exeption being that it looks clean and a little cared for which can only be good for attracting people. just a thought that would be cheap and effective!

Imagine the Uproar

" Salford City Reds have announced they are to open a new shop in the trafford centre, "its going to be great, Salford city reds are doing their bit to beat the recession" Said John Wilkinson salford chairman.

In other news Salford city reds have announced that they will NOT be using the 300k to invest in the squad and there will be no further transfers, Steve Simms said " We have had a look round but we feel the money is better spent elswhere " icon_lol.gif

Im sure a shop in Monton,Eccles,Walken or the Height wouldnt cost anywhere near that.
