See the caveat the RFL have put in is they are open to other proposals …….

Did I read correctly that Salford were banking on a grant from their council, and used that money to book a warm weather training camp in Portugal? Are they insane?

I think the answer to that is yes and yes

Partially correct


The grant was £500K and was supposed to be to support community links using RL and the stadium, they spent that money on a number of things not just the Portugal trip

I remember when we were in that situation, we had to sell players, let back room staff go and we cancelled warm weather camps in favour of army camps in Wales and North Yorkshire.

Salford seem to be in some form of denial

Looks that way, just seems a reckless, irresponsible way to run a club, but they seem to have got away with it - seems the bubble has burst now.

I guess with the council paying out for the stadium means that fall back isn't an option anymore.

Think they've been on borrowed time for a while

I know, and I've said as much in the past. It was clear as day this reckoning would come around at some point. It just happens that this year the bail outs have run dry.

Should have kept London in and put Salford into the championship, I bet the RFL new this was happenning so it was announced at the start of the season so Salford kept their place.

I don't agree. There are rules for eligibility and Salford were better than London, by a long way.
If Salford drop out it still shouldn't be London.
