Rovers and Leeds game are both in July so it wont have the same effect.

Really wouldn't surprise me. A few of them are apparently Manchester United 'hooligans'.

Be good to get it against Cas. Thursday night on sky, nay need all the help we can get for getting the fans in.

They put a Salford flag up in parkers and it kicked off a bit

I know, I was stood right next to the bar when it happened. It was one of my friends they went for but it was a stupid thing he did. The reaction he got was also stupid and I tried my best to try and calm some of them down.

playing Bye Bye Baby when Lee was binned was brilliant, first time I've felt like it was actually our home ground for a long time.

you'd think floodlights were part of a standard user agreement that has not changed

Yeah but floodlights have changed. One of only a few of them in the country

Floodlighting will be part of the deal, in use they will be on anyway. New LED ones use less juice.

so how can it COST a FOUR FIGURE sum to have a spud press play on a laptop each game??

What it actually costs the SMC is less the point than what the SMC charge us for the privilege of using their equipment. IIRC they altered the deal terms to start charging us for putting pictures of Johnny Whiteley on the walls, the direct incremental cost of which to the SMC was probably less than what they charged us?

It obviously doesn't cost a four figure sum, just like it doesn't cost anywhere near the amount the SMC wants to start charging to open up The Dugout for the Disabled Group to meet for one hour every 3 months. They are pulling figures out of thin air and loosing custom for it. If they used a realistic figure then they may actually make a profit because we would use the lights more and the Disabled Group could afford to use the Stadium for meetings.

The Parkers trouble was down to a Hull fan pinching a Salford flag. There was no need for it. The Salford lads were great, just wanted to talk rugby and wish us well, then enter the idiot.
