If we can't get a decent crowd for a potential winnable game after beating Wire. Then the problem is much more deeply routed than a sky game stopping a thousand people turning up!

I think the main problem is playing friday night I for one used to have a season ticket and now I can't purchase one because I work shifts and had weekends off. I feel this is one of the reasons for low gates. Travel also creates problems for away support as people can't always get chance to attend every night. Please salfor as a club look at this again. That is my opinion on this matter

I think the main problem is 30 years of languishing in the doldrums. No doubt the club historians can correct but since the second world war, we have only had a brief period when we were what could be consider a top team likely to challenge for honours. This was the Brian Snape era. When he injected, for the time, vast sums of money we were at the top table. After he stopped spending it too another 6-8 years for those players to finish their careers and by around 79-81 we were on the way down.



Such a long period has resulted in the lack of RL culture and tradition within Salford.

I left the Willows last Friday fairly upbeat :-



A) it was a great game closely contested.



B) we did lose the game , but only in the last ten minutes, not in the first ten minutes which had been the norm .



C) it took a brilliant piece to class play from their star act



It would have been fantastic had we made it 3 in a row , but win or not it still doesn't hide the fact that our season has been a marketing disaster with the inauspicious 1st half of the campaign.

and the drop off in crowds are a result,

Our new head coach won't be here until mid July

Franchises will be awarded on the 31st July.



some of the input on here is alarmist , lets face it the Salford public in the main has ignored it's RL club for a significant proportion of the 110years down weaste lane. and to me PV has had an inglorious task of guiding us over the past few months.

here's to the future under Matt Parish

Sick of hearing the "big one 3" being advertised on real radio ! when are we going to get a marketing department that can do something better than send text messages to people who are already season ticket holders advertising games ! ??

will be interesting to look at the attendance for this game and compare with last years, they are advertising everywhere Radio, TV and the Metro.



What is the big 1 3 anyway? the big 13 code or wigan win and go from 3 to 1? wigan lose and Huddersfield go to 1 and leave wigan in 3?

In there defence mate we do have a deal with rock radio which numerous people in work have commented on to me



Was it just me or did anyone else see an advert for the Wigan v Hudds game on ITV the other night, only just caught it at the end?

ITV? Good heavens no. Far too low-brow for my refined taste. No doubt you were just flicking through?!?!

Yeah I saw that, with all the big 1 3 lark. Looks set to be a great game that Wigan-Huddersfield one though.

Ray,s on is way then,Parish must have someone in mind,would you agree.and also I hope Mr Parish, does is own scouting. Then Steve can get on with is own job,what ever that maybe.

Is it only ill thought out,because you don,t agree.Tripe shops,your giving your age away,now.

But you still did not tell me why,It took three of them.

UCP in france are cheap bars/bookies, ideal place to drink i would wager.
