Wouldn’t say no to him but would be happier to give Lindop more game time. And so long as they don’t try to sell Chris Hill to us.

How much of a difference will a giant billboard over the M60 make? Even if that bumped attendances by an astonishing 10% (which it clearly won't) that would only be an extra 500 people through the gates. That's nothing in financial terms.

It's a shame, but without a big-time investor they're doomed.

Not been there in a while is the land all around it still not been developed. It could have attracted more people and it also needs better access in and out, have heard the horror stories of people try to get away after a game. All the little things help to add up to poor attendance etc.

Also as it come to late with the council now taking full ownership. I hope they can get it sorted but you just can’t keep going back to the well.

Just over the bridge is Urmston, Flixton, Davyhulme, Sale. I worked these areas for years after Salford moved to the new stadium and never did you see any advertisement for Salford, nothing in the schools, nothing in the local papers, it's an area prime for rugby league to be promoted. I took a colleague who lives in Urmston to a match at Salford and they loved it, so much so they are now season ticket holders along with her two sons and husband, so it can work. Salford definately need to speculate to accumulate.

Can he play prop?
