Didn't the high level section of the main stand at The Willows have blue seats?

I'm going to use this statement as a starting point. KOTS is absolutely correct... If it wasn't for Salford City Reds... there would be no stadium at all.... so.... Why not build it with a specification to suit the club. We should fit into that stadium like a glove... so do we ? Not at all.

I make my point again... this isn't so much about just having blue seats. This is about not having enough of a say in a stadium that will be primarily used for Salford City Reds home games. I just can't see how people can't see this. It's not as trivial as many may see it.

Yes we are grateful for the assistance from other parties in getting us this opportunity... but what will be the next kick in the teeth ?

Perhaps the next one will be seeing the main stand with the Reds logo at one end.... and the Sale Sharks one at the other end ? Will that be so trivial ?

The one after that will be getting our games moved to accommodate a Rugby Union game because that will be the bigger crowd pull ? Will that be so trivial ?

When will it get to a point when some people say.... 'Hang on a minute... something ain't right here... why isn't anybody speaking up ?'

How bad does it have to get ?.... Salford try to arrange a game for a Friday night... and being told that Maureen has booked a Zumba class at 7.30 so we'll have to move the game

Far fetched I know... but you get my point.

So please... see this as not just a bunch of the wrong colour seats... see this as the club not having the balls to stand up... and instead being a yes sir no sir club.... The club should be standing up to whoever made these decisions and saying 'NO'

And then the only answer is well if you don't like then your more than welcome to go find some place else to play!!

So much scare mongering it's bordering on the paranoid by so many.

For all we know Wilky and the club are getting consecions for things like this.

If I recall didn't we give the council the land the Willows is built on buck she in exchange for the council building the new ground? there if that is the case must be cast iron agrements on certain things reguarding the use of of the new ground. Dount very much if the council could dick us about to much and doubt very much if they would want to either.

If it wasn't for the fact we're stuck in the contract with them. If we turned around and said " ok we'll go" I'm sure they would be pandering to our needs pretty bloody sharpish. An empty stadium is no good to anyone that owns it. And even with Sale as tenants they'd still get worried big time.

Highly unlikely... The club will just continue to back down because of that 'no option'.

There may be a huge level of paranoia on here... and I may be one of them... But it must stem from somewhere... I wonder where that could be ?

I think you and your doc need to lower your dose


I'm really surprised nobody has tried to pin this blue sea trauma on SS still time yet tho...

Don't get me wrong... I know exactly what the Chairman has put into the club... Part of the problem for me is that very fact... He deserves a stadium that is screaming Salford City Reds.

I understand everything that has been put in... and I do know the implications into being the tenants of a much bigger machine... but I also feel that this is the start of being completely owned... and bossed about... and certainly made to feel that we should be grateful all the time.

I'm pleased that you are excited by the floodlights... and that you can happily p!$$ in comfort... but some of us hope for more than that... while others are happy to be finishing in the bottom 4 or 5 every season and think that everyone who wants and expects more have 'delusions of grandeur' ... and run on a daily basis by people who don't understand or like the sport that our team plays.

Whatever you think of those who aren't happy about this latest development... the fact is... they/we all care enough to kick off about such a trivial thing.

I guess you'll be over the moon when it looks like this....

Trivial? A partial change of seat colour is monumental in the scale of stuff people here will kick off about.

The point about the floodlights, toilets etc was meant as a little joke clearly not understood.

You don't want more for the club than I do and I know that I have a lot more years in watching the club than you have and the fact that we see things differently is part of life.

I wont be over the moon if Sale come, I have already stated that and I would not like them to have their motif/emblem on the front of the stadium but I cannot take on board all the rumours etc on what may or not happen or may or may not have been said.

With regards being tenants of a much bigger machine without this machine we would be in a very difficult position compared to where we are at present.

I have checked up and I appear to be in the red seats but I may ask for a half and half one just to be awkward.

I couldn't give a t055 about the colour of the seats, but different coloured seats are in stadiums around the world, on TV it actually gives an impression of fans being in them, whereas if the seats are all the same colour empty patches soon show up, so alternating diff colours works.
The only thing that matters is what we do on the field because that will bring the people in, so lets get real.

You couldn't be further from the truth if you tried

Amen that man!!
