Sounds like an argument with a sponsor and Salford have refused to pay. Probably totally blown out of proportion.

Nonetheless its still a worry that these things are happening and giving such a negative picture of our sport.

Maybe, but there have been some rumblings over there for a while, although I would have thought that with Sale groundsharing they should be ok.
Lets hope so !

Time for the RFL to step in and save the "Iconic" City of Salford stadium and "Geographically important" City Reds.

Will they?

Well they'll have to wont they? Salford are too big a club in SL to lose. SL would just collapse without them.

This.

Wonder how long it will be before 'P and R' is mentioned in this thread?

You just mentioned it.

If P&R was brought back this kind of thing would never happen.

P&R

I blame the RFL, if they ran the game properly this would never ever ever happen blah blah blah bleat bleat moan moan la la la.

I blame the split from Union. If we were all one game, Salford would be Sale. They didn't think about this when they were shootin' some pool in the George Hotel over several pints of Websters Yorkshire Bitter.

3/10 see me after school and explain why.

I must have missed the announcement that Salford had been wound up/gone into administration and therefore needed rescuing. Or maybe you haven't checked out what a winding up [ipetition[/i entails?

Ha ha ha. Kosh. Makes me chuckle.

Always mopping up the negative posts like a caped crusader.

If the rumours about Sale's finances are true, they are already more like Salford than you'd think...

So you reckon the RFL should be riding to the rescue about now then?

IF Salford get into similar bother to Bradford and IF the RFL fail to treat them in like manner then I'll be happy to criticise them for it. As I've criticised them for any number of other things. Until then it seems a tad premature to condemn them for not doing something which doesn't need doing.

The format of the playoffs is all wrong.

If salford do go tits up then there situation is no different to that of wakefield who the rfl basically turned there backs on because they owned nothing of value.
The rfl loaned/avanced money to bradford because they own the lease to odsal, and need a club that can garenttee 5 or 6 thousand home supporters, who can pay a bit of rent every now and then.

I agree with you though,this isnt an rfl issue worthy of getting involved in yet.

You're all missing the most important factors. If you look at the statistics, more clubs seem to get into financial trouble in seasons when Leeds get all the 50-50 calls and win the grand final. Also in the first 15 minutes of a new season, Wigan are the best team at avoiding a winding up order by about 3.86%, and according to try-tracker Sam Tomkins plays a large part in that.

I'm with you there Phil, you've got to get the message out!

Jesus, imagine them in a tax court.

"Why doesn't the barrister try an early chip over the top?"
"You must not let that cheque bounce, it's simple stuff".

Perhaps they should bring back the Phil Clarke 'financial' gains meter. At last a proper use for it.

I blame the one road in one road out. Who wants to spend longer in the car park than watching the game
