It was obvious Moon wasn't staying don't act surprised guys. PV should be fuming by the way.

This club now has been Raped of its assets.
Our home = Sold
Myler = Sold
Ratchford = Sold
Smith = Sold
Holdsworth = Sold
Moon = Sold

All these monies was never re-invested in the club. Expect the sale
of Broughton now. Thanks for raping the club Mr Salford you had the
your own interest at heart not the clubs. You should be wearing a mask.

News of this all but confirmed on twitter by Paul Highton last night. Sad but like he says if his hearts not in it good riddance.

FFS.

Change the record will you.

We all know we are in a mess. We don't need reminding about your own personal Crusade with every post.

Sad news and yet another reason not to renew my season ticket. 3 home games on Sky including a Monday why bother?


Having said that

Our home = Sold many years before we left
Myler = Sold but refused new contract
Ratchford = refused new contract
Smith = refused new contract
Holdsworth = Sold
Moon = Sold

the bottom 2 are simply mercenaries looking for a way out and not convinced trying to hold on would be worthwhile.

Heard that any moon transfer fee may go straight to the rfl to pay off some of the money owed to them by the reds. Any truth in this?

Why single them out and none of the rest? How do you know they've not been forced out or treated unfairly? Either way, can you blame either of them for taking what I would assume to be a better paid contract elsewhere at a club with a bit more stability and certainty about the future than we currently have?

If someone came in and offered you a higher paying job, more job security, better working conditions and so on than you're current employer you'd take it. It's the same for these two. They don't have any emotional connection with the club like we do as supporters, they're professional rugby league players doing a job. It's not like they're holding the club to ransom whilst already earning millions of pounds a week, now, is it?

Yes indeed. The club's clearly struggling for cash and the team will need all the support they can get next season, but as you don't like the fact players are leaving you stay at home, keep warm, put your feet up and watch it all on Sky instead.

'Mercenary' Moon and Holdsworth > No Moon and Holdsworth.

The negative use of mercenary towards them is ridiculous as well. I wish we had a few more 'mercenary' players of their quality in the squad.

Myler = went on to wembley glory and the grand final
Ratchford = went on to wembley glory and the grand final and rep honours
Smith = went to warm the Wigan bench, enough reason WIGAN.
Holdsworth = has gone to ambitious Hull fc and will play with the likes of G.Ellis
Moon = is reported to be off to the champions and world champions.

Who'd swap Salford for the above.

I blame the club 100% because had they not signed these players in the first place the bigger clubs would not of wanted them from us. Yet another example of poor signings. The recruitment strategy going forward has to be about not only signing sh#te but loyal sh#te.

I'd say Moon and Holdsworth are different to Ratchford and Smith as the later 2 had reached the end of contracts and decided to move on. I have no problem with that, most of us would go for more money or different challenges.

As for the season ticket, I've had one since I was a kid, but I don't see this year as offering any value. With holidays etc I usually miss a couple of games, Monday games are difficult.

In previous years I have bought a season ticket in part to give the club the money up front. I am disillusioned with last season in particular. A move to the new ground should have been the start of a new era. The last season felt more a a duty than an enjoyable experience.

Martin Gleeson anyone...?

I think Red Willow was referring to the inconvenience of games being moved for sky, rather than being able to stay at home and watch them on tv. Monday night and 7.15pm on a Sunday are hardly fan friendly kick off times.

The main reason most people get a ST is to give a bit of money upfront to the club in the off season. With the lateness of them going on sale this year many people won't see the point now and just pay on the gate instead.

At the moment Jackie Gleeson would get a starting spot.

Wonder if they've let him go rather than pay him any owed back pay thus saving a fair bit. He was a class act when fit and will be a super star at Leeds but if he'd have spent all year pining for a move better he goes now. Seriously hope Ford is given a chance to stake his claim for a starting spot rather than Platt.

Whilst undoubtedly a loss if he does go, lets face it, Moon's off home at the end of next season anyway, so maybe not that much of a loss anyway, might as well rebuild fully now, rather than do the same again at then end of this season.

Thanks, I was. The value of a season ticket is reduced further when the club runs deals for cheap tickets.

How true I think that statement may turn out to be, we all know the club never tell how many they've sold or more to the point how many they've not sold, but my guess is they (if ever) will be lucky to move a couple of hundred this year.

The lateness of the release may prompt a few more to pay it by direct debit spreading the cost over the next 12 months and giving the club a all round income..... turns into a cheap verson of your council tax in a way and you can get on with christmas and saving for france ect

i would like to predict that when the club do announce the cost of a new season ticket there will be a lot of fans who shout

"HOW MUCH???....thats it for me never going again ect" just because they can

As opposed to what exactly Bobby ? them releasing the tickets early and people thinking fook that there early I won't bother I wanted to spread them over a different 12 months.



Ever thought of politics ?

It's a win win for me people who can't raise the cash for one hit payment pay it over the next 12 month. The club get a steady income everyone is happy, with the takeover still on going would be unfair on our new owners not to have a say on the price on the season tickets?

Hopefully they will stagger the payments say £50 1st payment then £17.00 a month after or somethin

We shall see what happens

Signed a 3 year deal at Rhino's.

D'oh.
Ohh well, my point still stands, as he wouldn't have been at Salford next season either way!

It's good job I know you as I'm on the verge of hunting you down after those last two posts.

Season tickets should be either a membership or a full ticket. There is no need to quote a membership price for full tickets, just list the price as £180

Lets hope the release of info is simple & straight forward
