A.Marshall:



Quote: Red John "As far as I'm aware, the stadium cost £26 million, so the city's share was the £13 million.

I think the problem is that for the city to sell up, it would have to recover that outlay or the letters page in the Advertiser would go ballistic, but, given that the stadium makes a loss, why would anyone pay that much for it? And it isn't really benefitting the local community. Salford Red Devils is a private business. Would you be happy to see the city build a £13 million superstore and then sell it to Tesco for less than that? It's the same situation. In the long run, the presence of that stadium or that superstore may bring some limited regeneration to the area, but at the cost of giving a huge amount of council tax payers money to a private business, which doesn't look good.'"

Err exactly where does Salford fit into this, everywhere I read you are the Red Devils, I admire this cos the round ball boys stole this name from
You.

Why would the club think taking a game 2 or 3 miles away would attract new supporters? The people of Manchester are well aware of Salford and where they play so if they were interested in watching a match they’d be here already ...another indication that they see the future of the club away from the city of Salford and with a different name!! Lets face it the absence of Salford from any of the merchandise is just the beginning

Please do us all a favour and stop 'supporting' Salford now. You've threatened it numerous times. Amazingly, the Club will survive without your negativity. A real supporter would not only voice their fears about aspects of the Club, but would also offer counter-arguments. They would pass comment on a number of Club related subjects and try and be balanced, at least with explanation, about a whole range of topics.

What you do, is occasionally turn up on here to drum home one particular point. Regardless of the thread. You offer no evidence for your point of view just opinion based on nothing but what's inside your head. You don't comment on anything else much, and certainly don't comment positively on nearly anything. My question to you is, why bother being a supporter? The clue is in the word 'Supporter'. What you are is a Salford 'detractor'.

Do yourself a favour, buck your ideas up and join in properly.

We seem to have more people per square mile than other clubs like this dont we?

Moan about this and then about that.

In reality they should pinch themselves and realise that we have some superb players lined up next year and instead of being negative - BRING a mate to the next match.

Someday, somewhere, today’s empires are tomorrow’s ashes.:



Quote: Marshy1 "
Quote: Marshy1 "Salford Council might be making a loss from the actual stadium, but they'll more than recoup this through sales and rental income from the surrounding land and future retail/leisure facilities.'"

So that makes it ok then?'"

Well of course it does. Unless you're one of those feeble-minded Garridoids who think local authorities should be responsible for nothing more than emptying the bins, and should just stand idly by while investment and jobs flow down to the South-East, you'll recognise that those local authorities need to generate jobs and investment in whatever way they can. As businesses spring up around the stadium, it should, eventually, start to pay for itself.

In addition, a successful Salford team (or two Salford teams - Salford Red Devils and Salford Blue Lions - how good does [ithat[/i sound?) can be used to promote the city. I know you rarely stray too far from the Swinton Vasey district of Salford, but you might be aware that Warrington were using their rugby club to promote the town on the Underground (it's a kind of train system that runs through tunnels in London) a few years ago. The stadium is an investment in that future.

Err, the club is called Salford Red Devils. The 'Red Devils' part is a nickname; an affectionate name people use in place of the actual name. For example, Swinton aren't always referred to as 'Swinton', but often by one of their nicknames: 'The Lions' or 'that other club in Salford'.
