Ultimately it's about the second part of the above quote , not the 1st . As for all the positivity hardcore fans can generate , there is twice as much negativity directed at the club , from local press in relation to the stadium & it's present / past dealings with the council , from RL due the ambition of the owner, and the less than auspicious season that resulted.
Only when we have a balanced focused squad delivering on the field week in week out will we overide this, far too many lapsed fans have heard the rallying cries season after season , all the early season optimism evaporated after reality bit and the loses to Saints & Warrington, marketing ticketing impetus seemed to die off too. as did the promises of a dedicated web TV channel ( Leigh can manage one FFS , how hard can it be . . ? ) .
Salford will now have to work twice as hard to sell the prospect of the Salford Red Devils as a nailed on top 8 club for 2015.

Why again has a thread started with a bit of good news descended into doom and gloom?

There have been bigger improvements this year than pretty much any other. And I doubt very much if this will not continue next season also.

First time posting so hello everyone.

I don't wish to add to the negativity after such a positive post but did anything ever get done to those people who started the fight after the Leeds match? After years of not going to Salford I took my family to the Leeds match, my wife and daughter were literally yards away from getting punched and kicked by some drunken idiots. When I suggest to the family that we go to another match my daughter literally shakes with fear, if I can prove to her that something was done about it she may want to go again, until then I will probably be the only one back. I guess my family were not the only ones put off by what happened after that game?

Unfortunately, for every positive that comes with following Salford, the negatives are currently outweighing them..

Since 2008, I've lost count of the number of new people that I've introduced to RL, and to be honest, none of them became followers of Salford.

This season, I decided to purchase a spare VIP ST with a hope of converting a few, but alas, the 1st part of the season killed it... Since the upturn in latter part of season, it's the embarrasing social media rantings of Marwan that has prevented me from gaining any interest in my spare ticket, which has left an empty seat for probably 50% of home games..
Saying that, I've still kept the optimism and for next season, will again have my spare VIP ticket and hope it will be used more...

I'm now going to semi-rant about Marwan, and yes I know he saved us from oblivion and none of us should ever forget that, however, that does not give him any right to publicly slate or interfere with the playing/coaching side of things, behind closed doors is another matter but in all honesty, leave the coaching team to do their jobs!!!!

Sunday was the final straw for me with MK - after killing what should've been a fantastic day for fans to applaud the squad for their efforts in a difficult season with "our" player of the year awards, he decides to conga through the west stand and into south stand to prove he is a true fan... As Karl Pilkington would say "BullSh@t"... it was a show of "I've got the power and can rub everyones noses in it" that's my view on it anyway - Nobody is bigger than the club, and that includes him, and it's about time MK stopped throwing his teddy
