I would think the first question any potential investors would be asking is why is the game being played in Leigh.

If you sup with the devil use a long spoon!! Never a truer phrase to describe the dealings with Sky and the Murdoch empire!

For once though I'm in total agreement with LoyalFan's post - this immediate debacle is down to Sky but the longer term issues are a consequence of poor management decisions over the years. However what has happened is in the past - we just have to hope that Martyn Saddler in his tweet is right and there is a new owner/investor on the scene and that he/she/it brings some new ideas & a bit of dynamism to our club

I will be at Leigh - I cannot see how boycotting the game achieves anything whatsoever and as for those who've posted on Facebook that they'll stay at home and watch it on Sky as some form of protest I'm afraid that logic defates me completely.

All in all a very very sad end to a chaotic and ultimately disappointing season after showing some hope early doors.

Personally I would love to see sky trying to explain the presence of 3 empty stands but each to their own etc.

why would you want our game to look even worse on TV than normal? narrow-minded people think our sport is a joke as it is

Not quite sure what you mean here, Havn't the players been demonstrating en-masse since smith went to wigan ?

I think the players should try playing for a change ? looking back maybe you meant to say "the fans"

I vaguely remember an old Pat Boone song- I'll be there, so me and the wife will be.

The fact that it is being played at Leigh is making the game look like a joke anyway.

I don't think any new investor would base their decision on this one game? Besides I think you'll find out soon that said investors have already made their mind up, dotting the i's and crossing the t's!

You obviously live in the Sky world where everything in RL is Rosy.
It is a Joke.
You dont live in Wigan do you ?

Well Pat Boone won't be going because it was a Jackson 5 song.

Oh come on !!!

RCD was basically Salford City Reds board of directors... Who spent ridiculous amounts of money on a project going nowhere when it would have been better invested in a realistic project that would have given the club what it needed... Our own stadium.

No LF - you are totally wrong there and .......... I am surprised that being so close to the situation you don`t know it.

. I doubt much could still have been done even a few weeks ago though.

Apologies, didn't explain myself very well. What I meant was that if we (Salford) are scheduled for a home league game on a particular weekend (be it Friday, Saturday or whenever sky decide) then surely it can't be that difficult to ensure that Sale have an away fixture assigned for the same weekend therefore avoiding any possibilty of a clash.

RCD spent a large amount of their own money on a project that a lot of supporters were in favour of,were you at the Civic Centre for the council planning committee votes and the public enquiry? I was and so were many others and the council vote was a huge majority in favour whilst the enquiry had no objectors which meant that the inspector called in by that well known HKR advisor John Prescott had to ask himself questions that he thought any objectors would ask,the inspectors words not mine.

You are correct that it took a lot of money(Directors money) and about 12 months time wasted.

OK... fair enough... I should have elaborated more on such a strong point. RCD was Peel, Salford RL, and a few other investors. If we concentrate mainly on Salford because that's who we care about most... The Salford side of RCD invested and gambled hugely. Those Salford directors lost a lot of money during the whole RCD venture.... and I really wish they hadn't... and I do feel for them... But being part of that whole thing was a bad decision which ultimately led to Peel being owed a lot of money (or a part of Peel anyway)... and... Eventually led the club having to settle for a stadium owned by the council and Peel... It was our only choice left to us... So the decision to be part of RCD (which did involve a number of our directors) was a bad one... and look where we are now... playing home games at Leigh.

Bump!! As something of an exception on here, I want to take the chance of watching a SL game at our stadium. However, your official website isn't giving ticket prices.

=#FF0000Can anyone please tell me what price the West stand (adjecent to the pitch) will be for a concession? (i.e. what would the price have been at Salford?)

I agree that playing your home game at LSV is a big let down for you loyal supporters. However, once your stadium became unavailable, LSV is a fairly logical choice, as it is your regular training base

I turn up rain or shine home or away but I for one will not be going. No I don.t blame Salford, No I don't blame Sale, however I do blame our poor administers the RFL & secondly I would like to see a empty stadium & have sky explain why?

sky dont care how many go they only go off viewing figures not on who goes to games so there not bothered. the thing is with it there as to be better game to put on sky than this game. its a joke the whole thing is farsical not going to be going to waste money travelling and pay extra costs to watch are team there not worth paying to watch at minute

I TOLD YOU SO!

Hope all you Sale lovers and appeasers are happy. We have become an absolute joke. My final nail in the coffin was the last game at the Willows. For many more, playing at Leigh will be theirs.

As long as the current Board and it's complete lack of vision and finances are in place, Salford are simply going to continue to die and long and lingering death. Who in their right mind is going to continue witnessing it?

At least this move has provoked 15 pages of responses rather than the recent dribs and drabs of little or no interest to what has been happening all season.

For someone quoted by Martyn Sadler for one of your contributions to this forum,indicating a passionate support after the victory over Warrington,your posting does seem both incongruous and incorrect.
It has nothing to do with Sale - it is the decision of Sky Television.
If current rumours are to be believed new investors are preparing to take over the club so it may be even more ill-luck if the current owner,who made every effort to bring about the new stadium,now has his last game in charge out of the Salford area.They may even introduce or announce the signings for 2013.
I should point out fings ain't been too good since Mr Tarry left the club - but I ain't one for statistics,anyway.Ending the season with a victory to take into next year and to show thanks to the coaching staff did seem a good idea - and courteous as they have battled against the odds throughout.

I thought making a stand for the little man against big business would have appealed to Salford people - without upsetting Sky too much as Maurice Lindsay,and others,decided the game required their contribution and it seems they are here to stay.

Well I hate Sky as much as the next man stop paying for it over 2 years ago after I put my anarak on and counted the number of repeats in one month, worked out you get 3 days of original programming per month, so a lot of money for 3 days telly. I digress, I for one will go to Leigh and cheer on the Reds hopefully to a hollow victory unless Bradford have been won and then the RFL love-in would have worked, but if some of you remember some of our best matches have been at a neutral ground at the end of the season. So lets give John a send off and put the season to bed and turn up and give a two fingered salute to Sky, drink some beer and give the lads a last cheer. A few hours drinking before the game will numb the senses a little so the pain will not be as bad. I an now ready for the parasites who slag off Salford and only go if they get a free ticket, others who will never go again but you will, Salford always do best with our backs against the wall, the team have no place to go but forward and win. Get behind them I know I will be.

the key words we have agreed to this and club have known about this for three weeks
so why no leek about this, so we the fans and club had time to fight it or make arrangements.

the club look as bad as sky on this and the rugby league do not want fans at games.

we should have stayed at the willows, after all Bradford, Castleford, and Wakefield got back into super league with grounds has bad as our.
