What a bunch of losers!

Quite frankly today was abysmal from start to finish. I don't like to draw too many conclusions from trial/friendly matches but there have to be some serious questions asked of a more or less complete Super League team getting thoroughly taken apart by a semi-professional team that was thrown together at short notice. That's before we even consider that this was the first competitive game at our new home. This is essentially the same team that so spectacularly failed to give our previous home the send off it deserved, the fact that they were so woeful today shows what a complete lack of respect they obviously have for our club. They didn't even compete. Playing for Salford RLFC is just a job for the majority of those who pulled on a red jersey today but if they can't appreciate there is an element of responsibility towards the history of the club then they are perhaps even thicker than I thought.

Off the pitch we failed to demonstrate why any business should consider getting involved with us. If you think Peel et al. are only interested in having a unique place to "do business' then you are incredibly naive. A competent executive (something we are woefully in need of) will only want to entertain prospective clients or partners somewhere that has a certain level of caché (note how Manchester city only recent managed to finally fill all their executive boxes for a game). Watching our collection of average Rugby League players get taken apart with a clear view of Barton flyover and our three Lego set stands does not under any circumstances qualify as an impressive to "do business" regardless of how fresh the paint may smell. The fact that (a) the fabled Stadium Management Company couldn't keep the lights on and (b) the back of the South Stand was closed because if you stand on the back row you can see straight in to the ladies toilets (giving an element of credibility to the suggestion that the three smaller stands were designed by the work experience kid) can't be blamed on the rugby club (what can, these days?) but it does sum the day up nicely. I believe the rugby club/SMC couldn't even get the Club Shop open for the first game. Having the resident Bitter pose the "why so serious" question at the end is a symptom of so many of the things that are wrong with our club.

At least Leigh fans can take something positive out of the day
brilliant post
