It will tell them that access isn't great,but that's not the Clubs fault.
It'll tell them the food and drink are dearer than OT or the Etihad,but that's not the Clubs fault either.
The ground and the pies ain't gonna change !
It's blindingly obvious that the population of Salford has always been lukewarm on the Reds and what brings them out is a winning team.
In fairness,the Club is doing everything it can to achieve that.
A winning team will be the catalyst

Agreed you can have the best pies and the cheapest beer in the world but a winning team will bring back the fans and that’s the one thing the club does have total control of!

It is the easiest way, no doubt. However, Warrington were able to increase their attendances in the early 2000s, and Wakefield more recently, despite having mediocre sides

The problem for many Salford and Sale fans has been access at times over the last few seasons it’s been a nightmare getting to and from the stadium so when the road improvements are finally completed we shall see!

From my own personal point of view, I'd have to disagree with that.

I live in Warrington and don't drive, so public transport is my only means of getting to and from the ground.

I get a train from Warrington to Irlam then either the 67 or 100 bus (whichever comes first) from outside the Railway Inn.

All in all the entire journey takes around 30 minutes (that includes a near 10 minute walk from my house to the station).

I find Barton a lot more accessible then The Willows was.

The stadium is in effect as accessible as you make it. I pick two or three friends up then get a cab from Worsley costs a cpl of nicker each.

I think when the new pub/restaurant opens people will feel inclined to get there earlier meaning a more staggered influx of people. One of the issues is the terrible beer/food served means people drink more off site then try and get there a few minutes before kick off.

Does anyone know when the A57 is re routed will there be a bus stop outside the stadium? Might ease the need to suppress the traffic leaving the car parks if people weren't forced too cross it to get to the current stops.

To offer a counter-view, at the Willows, after a Friday night game, I'd be home by half 11, 11:45. Now I'm getting home around 1 in the morning.

Thats your own fault for living in Preston!!!!!!!!!

Bloody hell, are you travelling to the borders??
I can drive to Perth by 2am after a Friday night game

Public transport.

Erm... I've managed to get home to Blackburn earlier than that, which included swapping trains at Preston to complete my journey so don't quite understand the public transport with the wink bit!!

Because you referred to driving. Hence winkage.
