I think the pie eater has a point regarding the branding but i think to ditch the name Salford before weve even given barton a go is suicide.Salfordians are very proud people but the pie eater has a point Salford will always struggle for crowds.Just look at our last game at the willows.Yeah we attracted a 10.000 gate but for kids it was free, and for adults it was a £10.We wouldnt of got half that crowd otherwise.Im a rugby league fan and a salfordian and want rugby league in my area bigtime .But if the barton project fails to which ive no confidence in anyway, especially with these idiots running the show then im all for dropping the name .But to be perfectly honest ive never liked the name City Reds anyway.So i definately think our brand needs tweaking, but dropping the name Salford has to be a last resort for me.

At a time when Salford is gaining more and more media presence as a result of the BBC move to media city, it makes no sense to drop our identity. we can and should be taking advantage of this.

It all boils down to having a succesful team,top to bottom,we have got neither,people will not come and watch a team losing every week,fact,until wilky or somebody else takes this club by the throat and puts the right people in the right places we will go nowhere.We are failing on every front,its embarrasing,25 years of crap.There is no no prouder people than us,Salford is a city for gods sake.

EH??

Barton is very much in Salford, OK it might not be in the heart of Salford but there simply wasn't the land to build such a big project and the added infrastructure around it.
