| Quote: Chico "a new line from Pomona to Port Salford including stops at The Trafford Centre and Salford City Stadium is being proposed. However, it's all subject to funding etc. I think there are public consultations regarding this line in the next couple of weeks or so.
You're talking a good 5-10 years away from fruition.'"
I admire your optimism fella. given that the line which was going to drop people outside the stadium for the commonwealth games is still a year away from opening, I wouldn't hold your breath...

I doubt it too but after seeing how fast Media City was put together, I wouldn't rule it out in ten. I don't know enough about the processes to make a decent guess.

| The franchise say you need to increase fan base the club marketing is a joke for games also people finnish work at 5pm and don't have time to get to game its in the end not a viable buisness to rely on corparate to keep club going. Year on year the club promise top 8 finnish yet we get stuffed every week. It can't be good selling point when a new coach comes in and says club is craply run. Its been run poor for years. You can't have a club where no one wants to go any more. And after years of watching rubbish rugby and money not going far why would I waste 20 pounds watching a teamn that shows no intrest in the fans. I have several times asked the club why fans never get asked and the answer I got was there were moire important things to concider. In other words we don't want to here are views so I won't waste my time and money that don't care one bit for supporters.

What could be more important than conning cider??
If your not going to be going to games any longer feel free to give the Turkey a swerve to help you get over the club totally.

| Sometimes the truth hurts. Tell me where I am wrong tell me where the club asked supporters what they prefer. The franchise where am I wrong about new supporters. Is it going to be same as last year where they give free tickets out and still can't fill a stadium. Should I say anymore. Even transport to and from ground is rubbish. Results conceding 40 points plus a game why would a fan come. Also how can you get a young kids interested when they kick off friday night. There won't be kids wanting to come in future if there not coming and getting involved because we kick off late. So you all know it alls what marketing have you seen to pull in crowds as its always poor attendances. So what's are selling point then tell one your all experts

Maybe the fact that everytime you post you do it in one great long sentance making it very difficult to read and understand.
But the fact remains if you don't like there's nothing stopping you not going to games any more.

Impossible. All of the issues you've raised/invented are all a direct result of the club not choosing to play games on your preferred day.

You do talk a right load of s***, I am sorry to be honest but your ramblings are utter malformation and full of assumptions, I don't finish (with one N) work at 5:00pm on a Friday in fact last Friday I got away at 3:10pm, normally about 4ish. When I was a kid in the 60's I was taken to my first match on a Friday night in 1967 I was nearly 6, I was hooked from the minute I walked into the ground, the old scoreboard about teh tea hut on the north stand and the smells and the atmosphere of the match and the crowd. So as others have said as well as giving the club a wide berth give this site a wide berth as well.

Oiy youi get your own put down and don't plagerise mine
It just occured to me would people in the 70's complain so bitterly about Friday night games when we had the big name stars playing and had as many stars in the crowd? I doubt it.
Think there are way to many people just critisising it for the hell of it rather than having a genuine reason too. I find it highly unlikely that there will be no improvement in public transport on match days to and from the stadium and genuinely think that experience for the family at such a wonderful new stadium will be much better than it has been for many a year and the tired and woefully inadiquate Willows.

| I am intitled to an opinion. And as a supporter for many years I have more right to have a say as any of you. I feel fans are treated poorly in respect to support fans. I comments might come out strange but I have had a. Stroke and mind does not work as well. So I you want to rip someone to shreds do it for the rightr reasons and understand I have a disability. I have had several grevences with the club with the way you get treated at games and again have more reason than most. The club took my bottled water away from me as can't afford to go to game and pay for drinks at there joke prices. And a so called family club treats you in a way. Diffrent to anyone else. I used to love this club and I have a scrap book to prove -t. Have said for last few years that the club don't care for supporters. Especially the ones who have disabilities. As for everything else I have said is true. The franchise say support needs to increase we have had. 2 licenced. Now and we had one good gate all season . Tell me how a club is going to increase fan base when they treat you with disrespect. So I guarentee I won't be going any more. So before you critisises me understand facts. I even wrote two letters and still waiting a reply. Even though I am disabled I still work so that's why I say its difficult to get to friday games as can't move quick so before yo call me for slating a club I ask you to prove where the club is run well I say where there is no improvement on or off the pitch

| as a hull fan, its dissapointing to see your club stick to friday nights, instead of sundays, was always a push to get across the m62 and get to the willows for 8pm, not sure how far your new stadium is from the old, will have to rely on sat nav!

200 yards from the M62 A57 junction, ignore all the doom mongers the traffic will be no different to the traffic you have previously hit (or not as the case may be) getting to the Willows.
FWIW I actually agree that the Hull sides games should be played on a Sunday to allow a good traveling support a fair chance of getting to the ground, if London and Les Cats had a bigger traveling support then I'd naturally lump them in that catagory.
