A Club with a memorable history and one of the pioneering Clubs of the 70's, new ground, new start, new debts, one year in their new home and disaster strikes. It will be really interesting to see what the RL do about a rather 'Unfashionable' Club going to the wall, after the way that they saved Bradford don't you think?

It is indeed both sad, and interesting.
Sad that a huge public investment was handed over to a clearly incompetent organisation, sad for the Salford fans and interesting to know wether it was really unexpected, they haven't been well supported for some time, and their gates have shown it.
I think it send a message to Cas and Wakey, careful what you wish for, we got our new ground in, relativey to now, boom times, we could have so eaily gone the same way.
Be interesting to see what happens at Saint next season too.
Interesting times indeed.

The RFL will bury their heads in the sand and hope the problem goes away. Highly unlikely they will do anything to help Salford.

you can't blame the council - they have handed them money in the past and it has been largely wasted. i would imaging RL will be low down on their current list of priorities

your point about cas and wakey is interesting - the sensible thing to do would be to share a stadium but the self interested minds at both clubs, not to mention the fans, means that will not happen, but in reality it should though there would be arguements over the location. out of town stadia don't work to well in RL - this has been a problem for salford. its no coincidence that the successful new stadia - ours, wigan and warrington are all situated towards the centres of their towns/cities |

a private company was formed by the council and peel holdings who both funded the building of the stadium - i presume that these are also now the owners |

Sadly I think that it is going to need a club to go under to hammer home the point that clubs need to live within their means.

Sidlow jumps ship over to the Bulls. I don't know what sort of team Salford are going to chuck out next season .. if they somehow survive all this.

Different situation really.
Salford have allowed Sidlow to go, they wanted him off their books.
Bradford also went into administration at a key point in the season for OOC players. I think the decision SL made was a sensible one. |

According to Smailes of the mail, Salford have told Leigh they cannot fulfill their friendly on December 30th.
Very sad indeed, where is the RFL?
