Start again in Championship 1 with Crusaders.

Your new stadiu

m is awful with blue seats.

Help the existing fans bring potential new fans in. So, put something on the season ticket that would allow you to bring someone to, say, two matches for free and then maybe another two at half price.

Reducing the admission fee might help (although I can appreciate the risk involved: if you don't attract enough new fans to make up for the shortfall, then you've even less money to spend). However, £20 sounds a lot more than £18.

Change our name to Manchester

The only way for the club to grow in numbers of support, in my opinion is to put Manchester into the title.

It may annoy a few of fans, maybe a large proportion of fans, but think the benefits of such a change would be huge.
More people from outside of Salford would see the club as a team for them.

I know people that live out of salford and were put of from going to games due to the location of the club and the name.
Personally i know what its like for people to judge an area without actually visiting it and hate the idea that people do this, but i know that there are people that refrain from going to watch Salford, due to the negative image Salford is sometimes perseived as having.

As for the change of lacation the new stadium is now near enough in Trafford, so technically the location of the club should'nt be an issue for why the club can't change their name.

I also belive that the Manchester title would aslo help in increasing sponorship deals, which in turn would help to strengthen the team through increased revenue. As a larger buisness a team with Manchester in teh title rather than Salford seems a much more marketable and strong place to invest your money.

This is just my opinion, and what i think the club shoul look at, although i really don't see it happening.

Not that old chestnut again, been debated soooo many times. It's Salford and the club should never change its name, and that's from a born and bred Mancunian who's supported the club for over 40 years. Salford already [iare[/i Manchester's only professional Rugby League Club, changing the name will not bring thousands of Mancunians beating a path to our door and would alienate, forever, those that do currently support the club.

Coming from a SALFORD fan!!!

No no no, it wouldn't just upset me it'd kill me. I'd never watch a Manchester RL team, never in a million years. This is our team, our club, our City. I honestly think changing the name would do more harm than good as I recon 99% of our fans wouldn't watch a Manchester RL team.

Do you think Salford Council would tweek the name of the Stadium for us?

I wouldn't watch a Manchester RL team and I'm not from Salford and have never lived there!

It’s never done London any good has it, so what would be different in our case?

It’s simple we win games and fans will come.

I too would never step foot in the ground again if it ever happened.

First thing for me is being consistant off the field. Listen to fans.

We have the club mainly communicating via twitter, all the info should be on all the platforms (facebook, Twitter in the media etc)and especially the club web site (this needs a whole redesign and face lift.)

Relaunch the Junior Reds and have regular functions and training sessions for a small cost.

Get a permanent presence at the new stadium. We have an area marked for the shop, switch on the lights and install a desk. This wll give fans somewhere to stop and ask questions or buy season tickets. Have examples of stuff to buy.

Promote the flames

Tell the fans about the income streams- is it worth drinking or parking at the stadium, does it benefit the club?

Not a bad WUM for your first post on here.

And yet there's plenty of us from outside Salford who go home and away. Nice theory, though.

Yes exactly, nice theory. Theres plenty of Tottenham, Millwall, Chelsea fans etc that have no links with that area of London.

I like the idea of relaunching the Junior Reds Optimist, very good post pal. In addition to "skills sessions" It would be good to get dance classes for the flames for the little uns.
