i`d get there a good 45 mins before k/o tho , its not a cash turnstile you have to buy tickets beforehand , cash will be quicker it takes eons to pay with a card

6,109 quoted for Sale v Saracens - 6 maybe in the North Stand and 20 in the East Stand and the South Stand about 1/3rd full. Either everyone was paying 40 dabs for the West Stand (BT didnt show) or they were all in the Bar. My estimate would be 3,109.

saw on twitter Koukash inviting Nigel wood to ye game Sunday,

@drmarwanK: An open invite to my friend Nigel Wood from the RFL to come and enjoy our game on Sunday. He will see what we managed to do in 12 months.

The only way I believe we can win is if we contain the red devolution in the first 20 minutes. Win the arm wrestle and use the momentum wisely! (Every team has momentum but for different lengths of time). Repeat sets and good last option kicks. If we don't turn up we could be in a bit of trouble if you guys click!

Hope it's exciting either way and good luck for 2014

The Sale fans are saying the same thing, why announce a higher crowd though? Apart from self preservation of course.

This crowd figure for Sale is very interesting - in this morning's 'Times', it lists the crowd figure for the Hull v. Catalans game as : 6109

Massive coincidence.

Koukash tweets "@drmarwanK: 7,000 true fans are expected at our game tomorrow who have paid to be there. The days for free tickets have gone and gone for ever."

5,500 tickets sold to date, including the 600 from Wakefield. So the club are expected 1,500 walk ups from both Salford and Wakefield.

Our defence has never been that great so I expect you you to score a decent amount of points. The only question is will be able to score more than we concede.

Obviously would like us to win but just glad to have a decent team to watch this season and looking forward to my first trip to your new stadium and a good game.

I hope you do well this season (although not against us) and ruffle a few feathers as it's great to have someone other than the so called big teams assembling a squad with some real quality in it.

Is it easier to park at Eccles rugby club and walk to the ground?

Possibly, though very much depends on the new traffic lights and good/bad effect they are going to have on things.

First time they've been in use for a Salford game so no real way of knowing, guess a good indicator will be coming off the motorway and the queue to get off, big queue go to Eccles RLFC, no queue head for the stadium itself.

There was no queue to get off the motorway to go to Eccles RL, when we were ther around 2pm. Have used it twice before and can't beat it for £3. Friends used club car park for £5 and were still trying to get off it when we were ten mins from Wakey on the way home.
Eccles RL every time, easy get away and supporting the amateur game.

We parked at Eccles the walk was ok not keen on the facilities tbh the compare kept referring to the First DIRECT SL this was poor. Your pre match entertainment wasn't much better in my opinion I won't be rushing back that's for sure

Your owner really does promote his ego though good for him he can.

Can't send you fulfilling Clarkes prediction of you winning the league we should have put you to bed in the second half. Who is your number 22 bit of a dirty player slyly dishing it out.

Listen Salford are only going to get better, two half hit outs for us and today 13 super league debutants started the game, probably our best player goes off and tommy Lee had to take his place, Noble probably didn't select the best 17 to deal with that. But hey we won and with two first teamers back next week we will be better for the tough game.
