I hope the best for Salford and I think a top 5 finish is definitely in reach. According to the fixtures on the Rhinos website we play away at Salford on a Friday night? This automatically drops our away support by 1500 usually. I don't know the reasons for this but it should be moved to a Sunday if Salford want more away supporters to attend.

Your correct, our home fixture vs the rhinos is on a Friday. I believed that all the games against Yorkshire opposition were going to be on a sunday? To make it easier for away support from that part of the country to commute. Maybe this has changed???

Not like you to attempt to poke fun in the direction of Salford.2 laughing smilies ?
I am not able to correlate the request for more numbers of people to watch Salford with the conduct of a spoilt 7 yrs.old.

Do you recall these words ? [i''A deal worth 1.6 million has been put together by Greenalls, Warrington Borough Council, Bill Holroyd (a local businessman) and Simon Moran (a local pop concert promoter).

Norman Summers, head of Greenalls audit and corporate services department, summed up the takeover: "This will be a listening club, it will be the peoples club. We really do believe this. Without the people of Warrington there is nothing."

The injection of cash into the club will virtually wipe out the debt that has accrued over the years. All consortium members are committed to the supporters as well as the clubs future, Leader of Warrington Borough Council John Gartside said: "The responsibility now is not just with the Directors and shareholders but with the people of the town."

"We see the supporters as absolutely integral to the club. They are not going to be ignored. In many ways I think we see it as their club."

Summers added, "We can put in place all the structures, all the skill and professionals that are needed, but Warrington people have to pick this club up and support it and make it their own club. The club will be successful only if the people of Warrington want it to be successful[/i."

Spoken before your club had something which 'didn't go to plan' and sacked coaches like Cullen and Lowes.
Even recently Moran went public and said [url=http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sport/wolves/10702196.Warrington_Wolves_owner_Simon_Moran_urges_mass_turnout_at_Old_Trafford__tickets_are_now_on_sale/?action=complain&cid=12022719GO MENTAL[/url

Go figure...

Sorry, didn't mean to be disparaging. I'm just slightly intrigued that your owner's method of enticing new followers to his club, seems to be to publicly slate them for not wanting to immediately jump on board his bandwagon.

I appreciate his enthusiasm to build up an improved fanbase for the club, but I'm not sure that stamping his feet when not everybody seems to share that same enthusiasm, is the best thing to endear himself and Salford RLFC to any potential new customers.

Yes, Warrington (and many other clubs) have made similar appeals to attract new supporters, but there are ways and means to do it - I'm just not sure that Koukash's methods are always the best... As somebody has already pointed out, once his little rant gets legs in the various medias out there, then all it actually does is create an unneeded negativity.

Look at it this way, koukash's outburst made the skysports news website! (AGIAN) Just another way to reach out to old/new fans. People can slag Koukash off but I don't know another owner who has got his club along with rugby league the same amount of publicity! Koukash the media machine!
