That was our opportunity to secure some new fans and kick off a new era in style. We (the players, the coaches, the team, the club, the fans) blew it.
Leigh, on the face of it, are one of the top Championship sides with a number of ex-Reds looking to get one over on us, and hence should've been seen as a decent challenge for this early in the season. However, in reality, Leigh are (no disrespect) coachless, skint, barely in existence, low on numbers, full of new signings and should've been tonked, hence making us look like World beaters.
Unfortunately, despite all their problems, Leigh were excellent and outplayed us throughout the entire game in every single department and we were dire in almost every respect, on and off the field.
Not surprised at all though -fully expected today to be a complete shambles, it's the Salford way! I had even predicted a power cut on the way down today, and look what happened?!
Not going to rant about the players or make predictions about the rest of the season though - it was only a friendly! However I have had enough of the club in general, coaches and players included, but the fans as a group are just as bad, and I'm fed up of the whole depressing thing.
Was my first visit to an impressive new stadium but might be my last for a while too
Completely disillusioned.
