You talk like Wrexham is a massive journey from Salford (just over 1 hours drive I believe).......Salford is a lot closer to Wrexham than say Hull, London, or Perpignan- and just as far as some of the Yorkshire clubs.
Don't see this issue with the kick-off slot to be honest.

Isn't that more due them having a huge price reduction to entice people in, rather than having a good on field product.

Ok as a REds fan, Ill hold my hands up and say that crowd Wasnt good enough. However, lets be realistic, saturday ngiht, not a huge away support and fon SKY at a later time, its not all doom and gloom.

We've had acouple of 'better' gates this year 6k plus which is a good base to build on and Im sure we'll have some more good (and maybe one or two not so good) gates through the rest of the season.

To simply say fax or barrow would ne no different, I doubt is true. Certainly barrow wouldnt get 6k crowds based on what they are getting now......halifax may be similair to oursevles.

as other people have mentioned, ive had lots of non rugby fans saying they fancy watching a game in the new staidum so I think we could see Salford Boom in a few years (if we get the on field right)

I think for all the 'crowd watchers' and people who seem obsessed with numbers,have patience, chill out, judge is after 3 years in the staidum. Thats when you'll see whether salford can be an asset to super league or not.

PS - Im sure football fans dont get so obssessed with crowds....MAn City dont get full houses and there fighitng at toip of league.....as long as the club can survive ...does it really matter??

I'm sure in part it is, but it was you who posited "Depends on the team",
which is kinda what I was replying to.

Are you scrapping that now and changing it to "Depends on ticket price"?


In reality, it is very complicated, and not as simplistic as some of the above posts suggest. Apart from visionaries like the late great Peter Deakin, very few mortals really understand what makes fans tick. But certainly the great deal on price offered by the Bulls would not "entice" such numbers, unless as part of the package they had optimism for what value they thought they would get for the money.

Its why I didn't include Bulls as it has nowt to do with stadium or team, but a marketing ploy to increase attendances (good for them by the way), similar to Giants a while back.

3k paying £20 each or 12k paying £5 basically adds up to the same thing financially.

yet people slate salford and rave about bradford.

attendance is just a pointless number.
