| Overall looking back at things its actually not been a bad season
(stadium appart)
we've beat BRADFORD SAINTS WARRINGTON,LEEDS HUDDS AND HULL AWAY
Some thought we wouldnt win a game
When did we last do that in the same season
we've got some top players youth and experience in ratchford henry adamson turner myler cashmere ![Cool icon_cool.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_cool.gif) swain talau wilshire parker walton that we can build on for next season.
Yes there are some players that are not to super league standard anymore but this is our first year back we couldnt exactaly replace everyone but I would be suprised to see them next year.(not mentioning names)
=redI for one will be renewing my season ticket and will be there to see salford move up the table next year
Maybee some of our fans who have such high expectations have to remember who we are where we,ve been last year and have a reality check.
Walk this season then watch us Run Next Season.
=redSALFORD TILL I DIE
"KEEP THE FAITH"

| I have watched Salford for more years than I care to remember and during that time I have experienced every emotion possible. However come what may and through all the doom and gloom I for one will continue to watch Salford for as long as there is a Salford rugby club be it in superleague or national league. I couldnt imagine doing anything else.

SNAP ![Exclamation icon_exclaim.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_exclaim.gif) Same as Jan. I posted on another thread, thank god we still have some fans with a bit of common sense & reasoning to see what we have done this season on the field rather than what we have not done.

| Spot on!
It's been a great season. We were not expected to win a game!
The results we've managed this year have shown what we could be capable of with a little more support and experience. I remember people on this forum stating that if we won two matches all season they would be happy.
It's been disappointing to see how we have thrown/lost games we should have won but it's all about the learning experience.
I'm pretty proud of what the Club has achieved this season.

Ditto.
The only significant downer for me has been the attitude of some of our 'supporters' when the going has got tough. My support for the team hasn't wavered but I can no longer boast we have the best fans in the league. Some sections have developed the Warrington complex. So sad...

| I AM A SALFORD FAN, and proud of it. There i said it, come what may I'll be there at the games be it at the Willows, City of Salford Stadium or Buile Hill Park. I'll get my season ticket shirt or no shirt. I'll said in the peeing down rain or glorious sunshine. I'll cheer the lads on whether they win or lose. I'll go whether we continue to play in Superleague or NL1. I love Salford and no doubt always will, when I have kids they will go whether they like it or not ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) . Salford has and always will be a big part of my life. The atmoshere this season has been shocking, sometimes I do feel it rubbing off on me, but then I think in no way shape or form has this been a bad season. Yeah we have an ability to pull our socks up against the big teams but let it all fall down when we play teams around us, but it's one season and our first one back in Superleague at that. Give it time we will get back on our feet again soon.
BRING ON THE SALFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Unfortunately you cannot run a club on blind faith. If that was the case we would be world club champions. You need a board with a certain amount of business acumen. We are the fans and they run the club. Telling fans with a valid opinion to F*** O** further enhances what other clubs and the RFL think about Salford.

| With the exception of metsmagic's moaning and nnn's misery I'm delighted to see this thread!
I was beginning to think people had been overdosing on Radiohead music?!
Anyone that's disappointed by this season as a whole really needs to re-evaluate their expectations.

| Its great to read post with some with sense, where have you been hiding Metsmagic? Once again i am in complete agreement with you.
Business is run on results not promises.
Maybe the people who post telling us we are not proper fans or to F off should wake up. Its amazing how so of many of them are now content to be second bottom when at the start of the season they beleived the chairmans' top eight predictions and best squad for a long time boasts.
Simple fact is we finshed fifth 3yrs ago and like normal Salford sat on our thumbs and went forward by not strengthening.
As to BBM saying to be positive and look at whats good, where is the up to date website (nothing on it about the stadium letter)? the online store? the club shop that has no stock? shall i go on?
Stick you heads in the sand but when you lift them up we wont be in Superleague.
As to this season, yes we compete and get beat! have none of you thought that other teams are signing players now and not standing still.

Did we?
I'd like to think that we're looking to follow in the footsteps of Cas. They had a couple of shock wins last year and got a similar amount of wins, although we could still go on to better their points total.
We were never going to take the league by storm - we lost half our players almost 2 years ago and had to build a team yet again. I think we've done fairly well considering our finances and the situation we found ourselves in.

| Castleford deliberatly didnt spend the salary cap last year so they could spend it this year and compete.
We wont spend it this year or next year and you can throw Bradford at me but its simple economics, if a team spends the salary cap they can afford a bigger squad to cover injuries or better players. If you dont spend that salary cap your behind the other already as you going to get injuries, even St Helens do. As Alec Murphy said you pay peauts you get monkeys
And the Cas youngsters want to stay unlike Myler and Turner

What a powerful combined mind...
Quote ="Gruffy"Business is run on results not promises. '"
Some businesses are run on a shoestring by extraordinarily committed people. Surviving is in itself a 'result'.
Quote ="Gruffy"Maybe the people who post telling us we are not proper fans or to F off should wake up. Its amazing how so of many of them are now content to be second bottom when at the start of the season they beleived the chairmans' top eight predictions and best squad for a long time boasts. '"
Is it really amazing how content many of us are given that 2nd bottom was the popular prediction for our finish? It's pretty obvious that you and your fellow dummy-spitters are the one's with deflated 'top-8' expectations...
Quote ="Gruffy"Simple fact is we finshed fifth 3yrs ago and like normal Salford sat on our thumbs and went forward by not strengthening. '"
Ahh, was that the season our crowds trebled on the back of our success (as we keep being told by dummy-spitters it will)??
We must've been rolling in extra funding (as we keep being told by dummy-spitters it will)??
Or were the crowds pretty much the same as previous, the funds pretty much the same as previous and the squad pretty much the same as previous?
Quote ="Gruffy"As to BBM saying to be positive and look at whats good, where is the up to date website (nothing on it about the stadium letter)? the online store? the club shop that has no stock? shall i go on? '"
Yes, go on?
But before you do, tell us all how much revenue the previous online store generated?
Also, given that it's now July - let us know exactly how much stock the shop needs to satisfy the legions of shopper banging at the door each week?
Quote ="Gruffy"Stick you heads in the sand but when you lift them up we wont be in Superleague. '"
And here's the point - We don't currently deserve to be there. The club has worked miracles to secure this franchise and all you, and those like you can do is criticise, bitch and moan.
Quote ="Gruffy"As to this season, yes we compete and get beat! have none of you thought that other teams are signing players now and not standing still.'"
Sh*t-the-bed, you're right! How much do you think we should go out and spend? I say empty the burger-stand tills and give Lockyer a bell! You?

| I will renew my season ticket next season & rejoin forever reds & will be there home & away, but this has not been a good season.
Yes some highlights along the way but the rugby has not been enjoyable.
Blind faith yes, I must have because I have not enjoyed this season, I am not happy with the way the club as kept us in the dark over the most important development in the clubs history.
Fans are frustrated & the view being expressed by some fans that they will not renew there season ticket I fully understand. They then should not be subject to being told to f... o.. because they are fed up with the false promises the club keep giving, all I can say is to those who say we don't need you, welcome to the empty stadium next year because this view is growing & this is not just the view of a few numpty's
I actually expected us to finish in the bottom 3 but it is the rugby we have played & the lack of progress by the club which I believe is causing the disenchantment amoung the fans
Wait for the abuse, I probably be told to go now that we don't need fans like me.

Sexy rugby it isn't but would you swap positions with Celtic? They've managed to throw the ball around a bit in defeat.

I have had no expectations about where we would finish & as a Salford fan I don't want to be bottom but don't kid yourself about the type of rugby we have played.
I have watched us come up many times & finish second to bottom on many occasions but fans actually still enjoyed there rugby, I cannot say that about this years rugby.
I will be there next season hoping as most fans do that next season will be better, but I am not wearing rose coloured tints & I was expressing a point of view that I understand some fans frustration at the brand of rugby being played & that they should be entitled to express a view without being told to f... o..

A Letter to EX.SALF.UNI
I wont reply to your post with any other comment except as to answer you questions.
1)Combined Mind - very funny, glad the university education worked.
2)I have never doubted the boards commitment to the club, but it still doesnt make them effective. You may think surving is a result but they dont.
3)If you want to know i thought we would finish bottom so i am extatic that i am wrong.
4)3yrs ago saints attendence 7000 (and im sure on SKY) this yr 5000, difference 2000 Why people thought it would be a hammering and stay away. 2000 people paying lets say on average a £10, £20k difference on the gate over a season it could be as much as being conservative £200K with the "glory fans going". You work it out. As you have been to Uni read Fortunato, J. (200icon_cool.gif or Shank's book (2005) on sports marketing. People dont watch rubbish
5)online shop yes i agree no demand and it never worked, have a look at the guidelines on the superleague letter released about the ground, it clearly says comercial ( www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=14771). Are online shop and merchandisng etc looks really good on our bid doesnt it?
6)Getting a franchise is past, Superleague are talking about the next one the letter is a warning get it sorted, yes they worked really hard on a bid, but unfortuanlty if the promises on that bid are not meet its not going to matter much what we put next time, cos the league wont believe us.
7)as to going out and splashing the cash, its not there, i no that but my point is this
we are behind the league now, they all spend more or have more superleague experience as we have only just come up. We are therefore probably going to struggle next year as everyone else is spending more and we will probably struggle the year after. Celtic wont be kicked out so who will? Us CAS or Wakey?
WHICH IS WHY THE CLUB HAS TO GET ITS OFF FIELD MANAGEMENT RIGHT AND NOW.
You make a joke about the burger stand tills, i wonder if the club owns them or are they are franchised out, reducing revenue further.
Yes we are not a big club but when ppl within are giving downcast messages and they are in the know, what do you expect others to think?

I've been around a few years myself so I expect we've watched many of the same games. I have never known us to be a particularly free-flowing side in the top division. But that's a little beside the point - all rugby fans crave an entertaining game, I'm no different. The greater problem (on here at least) are the seemingly growing number of delusional folk who seem to understand we have limited resources and crowds yet they whinge beyond reasoning when we can't break the bank to sign/keep players. Pretty basic logic to me?..
