Bless. I remember feeling like this going away to Saints/Leeds/Bradford back when we were massively underachieving.

Feel your pain, but keep the faith.

Bitter much.

No matter what Kockrash spends on players Salford will never the get the support through the turnstiles to make the club viable. You always have, and always will live in the shadow of Manchester United. You even sing their songs.

To be fair, I was originally just responding to the petty $hite from lefty with petty $hite of my own. I don't really intend getting in a boring back and forth of the same old tired crap that both sides' fans sling at each other. Probably shouldn't have responded to it in the first place.

Well done on the win.

INOUT

Adam, Adam, Adam, does it really have to be like this surely not? There was one or two Red Devils in the South stand and I noticed one or two wires in 'your' end mingling in if proof were needed.

Serious question, if you get it right on the field what do you think your crowds would escalate to? I think it would take some considerable time to attract a regular 8k, that magic break even figure that was touted around when you moved to Barton under Wilkinson that quickly turned to we need 8k to spend the full cap when they ground was full of no shows.

If my memory isn't playing tricks, you didn't have massive numbers in the 70's real glory years which leads me to believe that there isn't a huge appetite for RL in Salford to expand your hard core or entice some Glory Hunters

BTW what's wrong with attracting Glory Hunters, seems like good business to me rather than something to be scoffed at, or will you be one of those that's going revel in the " I remember when we were that bad we were outnumbered (but obviously never outsung) by such and such a body teams' fans so I must be a proper supporter" type of person?

As you won't probably make the top 8 see you next year

No, it really doesn't (see my previous post).

I think something like 8k is the best we're ever going to really get and even that'll take time. I'm generally a pessimist when it comes to RL and while a lot of people in the game have big ideas about expanding it and bringing in huge amounts of new fans, I can't see it happening on a massive scale. I live in Stretford and most people wouldn't have a clue about RL despite being 10 minutes away from a super League ground and having the Grand Final here every year.

I agree with you, we need 'gloryhunters'. Like I said, I was being childish in response to childishness. It's not rocket science that winning games, brings in crowds - this year's shown that just having a rich backer and bringing in a couple of big names isn't going to simply bring the fans in consistently.

Now the handbags are back in their respective corners. Anyone actually got an update on who performed well today for the wire?
Sounded like Atkins had a good game.

I read it our messages crossed in the ether.

My worry for you is that you'll never get the response from the people of Salford to match your owners ambitions and he might just lose patience and that would be calamitous. We would seem to have more of a chance with Moran as first and foremost he is a fan. BTW I'm not crowing as I'm a little disappointed with our numbers through the gate given the quality of RL that has been on offer in recent years.

He may well get bored, you're not the first person to say it! If he doesn't then we should hopefully have financial security for a long time and who knows, we might one day actually win something. If he does get bored and leaves, we're back where we were at the beginning of last year on the verge of administration. If he hadn't stepped in we'd either be where Bradford are now, awaiting an inevitable relegation, or worse, we wouldn't have even been able to fulfil our fixtures and we'd already be out of the league. Might as well just try and enjoy it while we can!

United actually take songs from us just to let you know.

Oh dear.

What a childish thread.

On topic, I thought we were similar today to last Friday in East Hull. We did well to keep Chase quiet, but I'm looking forwards to seeing that try which he set up! Had to clap that. Bit of a worry if Evans is out for a while, he has been in blistering form.

I'd rather sing the odd Utd song to be honest than imitate the wacky dance moves of MCFC fans.

At times we were comfortable until we drop the ball or give away a silly penalty and they score. Can someone please order a taxi for Asotasi & Glenn Riley to Widnes, Leigh or even Salford.I must of counted 7 times between them they've dropped the ball.

Without being rude to Asotasi or Riley, I don't think Widnes, Leigh or Salford would need/want them.

Harrison, superb, love the guy.
Thought Bridge did well again, and his hand-off for his try was superb.
Hill, Higham & Westwood all excellent as usual and Russell looked dangerous

Good team effort but we're getting seriously depleted, hope the news on Ben Evans is good.

Alas, not all so good. Glenn Riley & Asotasi seemed to be having a private battle of ineptitude and it was difficult calling a winner. Riley has the ball handling of a blind juggler with one hand tied behind his back and every time Asotasi looked like taking the ball up with any kind of intent, he knocked on. Every time.
