I said 1-2k, there are many RL fans in Swinton that used to watch the game on a weekly basis. When they left Swinton, they stopped watching. Although i understand they would never go and cheer on Salford I as one ex Swinton fan would probably go watch a game.

Regarding the other bloke that comments on a name change, ask London. I don't think you understand that the name Salford is not that well liked. London RL is a totally different ball game.

I said this when they first announced where they were to build their new stadium. It is totaly the wrong place for Salford to be. There was ample land closer to the fan base for it to be built and owned by the company that holds the lease but they stuffed it out there. Seeing the plans for the new marina and the railway link sort of made me feel like there was a long term plan for the Reds but I personally think they will have gone before that comes to fruition. The fact that no thought went into the training facillities being sufficient for the Reds and the Sharks coming to the complex sort of says that Salford City Reds are not in the minds of the people who are planning the future. I hopeI am completely wrong as I do like going to the odd REds game when Leigh are not playing and the people I have sat with have been fantastic.

For anyone who knows Salford. The ideal place for the new ground was situated in the now almost derelict retail park that goes under the name of West One. This would of been straight off the M602 (closer than the current M60) Also they would of had a tram running direct to the ground. Another was, although not the most pleasant places to drink they would of had over 10 - 20 boozers to drink in less have 1km walk. How this place wasn't considered in the 1st pace is mind boggling, even more so now virtually every shop on the retail park in on the verge of closing if not already closed.

Not being pedantic but the Fax posted £20,000. profit for last season bet not many Super league clubs did that.

I love this -were not in admin were not close but will the league do this for us?

It was considered a long time ago - but Salford didn't have the money in place to take it on at the time, before anything could be organised, it became West One.

The ideal spot would have been the land around Oldfield Road where the Chill Factore was originally going to be built.
