That answers the question in the title of the thread.

Be prepared for no response.
The RFL have not given London/Harlequins any financial assistance, nor marketing/development assistance above that which they give to any other club.

I suspect that I'm not alone in not really giving a shiny one right now about what may or may not have been given to the London club by the RFL.

And your attitude is the correct one. Moaning about fantasy money going ( or not, actually ) to London will not help Salford one jot. I just wish someone who remembers the glory days in the early seventies when getting 8k at the Willows was no big deal would come in and get Salford back on the right track.

From the outside looking in, and please don't shoot the messenger because I come in good faith...

You've relied upon a long needed move to a SL quality stadium and it's not worked. Devil and deep blue sea. The Willows wasn't good enough for those up the food chain and with the franchise farce you had no choice but to move.

You are not alone in that.

We (Leigh) had exactly the same issue, once you lose your secondary spend income (pies and pints) and a disproportionate amount spent is on rent, it's a one way trip to financial hell.

The warning signs of your move were there a year or so ago when you moved your day to day squad activities to LSV and said you'd have to basically double your crowds; whoever, whatever, that needs addressing.

We had a couple of years of trouble with LSV Co, issues that have improved enormously; until all parties realise one cannot survive without the other then you'll never succeed at Barton.

Good luck.

` until all parties realise one cannot survive without the other then you'll never succeed at Barton.`

Exactly - thats why we have to lobby the Councillors in favour of our presence there over the Christmas period.
