Happen to know "Fred-Mr Salford through and through" was personally asked if he would like to advertise on one of the boards, and his answer was ---Nah, not interested in rugby !

I am sure that at the Rt Hon John Prescott public enquiry, it was stated that there would not be any advertising allowed that could be seen from the motorway bridge.

I did notice a while ago an advert for the gym though.

As far as decoration is concerned, I'm not particularly sad about the lack of advertising hoardings. Ideally I'd have none. However, it does seem to be a missed revenue stream. That said, would all the monies just go to the SMC? And if so, why would Salford spend money on staff trying to secure those sponsorships?

And yet he nailed his flag to the shed ?

As a side I find it very strange that he has no interest in one of the products that makes his empire.

I think you may have raised a good point there. Are Salford tasked with generating the sponsorship and take the money as a whole or do SMC take a percentage of in stadium advertising? Media City have advertising inside the stadium so i'd presume Salford get the sponsorship monies. If that lead to be true how would that work with a potential ground share with Sale as they would also have their own sponsors / advertisers? Do Salford just pay a fixed rate for the ground and corporate / sponsorship / tickets monies Salford keep? Or do SMC take a %? Good point you raised.
