Just watched the five minute press conference on YouTube, must say I'm impressed.
For Salford to obtain a %share in the stadium plus training facilities, academy hostel and other ventures in the surrounding areas is massive for you.

In addition to having a strong Wigan, Wire and Saints it does now seem that both Salford & Widnes are on their way to getting their finances in order (all five have modern stadia - unlike in Yorkshire) and that can only be good for the game in the long run.

Enjoy the season, obviously it make take a couple of years for the hardwork to come to fruition but who's to say we won't start seeing Salford in the latter stages of the playoffs / cup semis, finals in the coming years?

Look forward to the day I see four/five thousand Salford fans in the North Stand at the DW.

Good luck!

Anyone any idea what time the press conference is set for tomorrow?

On my way to Luxembourg and wouldn't mind making sure I'm able to get a signal at the right time.

I was under the impression it's going to be on Wednesday?

I'll be back by them so happy with that, though I'd like it tomorrow and then lots of press releases all week.

Tuesday afternoon the press conference will be held plus new player unvailings.

Fingers crossed for Luke Adamson



Hope they show they a bit more media savvy under the Docs regime and release details everyday this week to keep the club in the press and spotlight .

Tuesday afternoon the press conference will be held plus new player unvailings.

Fingers crossed for Luke Adamson???
No chance at all,and rightly so,this is about the future!

I think that was a joke aimed at me ha ha.

Going off on a tangent but how dumbed down is the web copy on that article? It reads like a telegram. I know attention spans are short online but that is taking the biscuit.

It's reeking in laziness.

And just what is a "significant controlling stake" - the stake is either controlling or not !!

BUT regardless of whether Mr Barker has an O level in English or not, just how exciting is all this - think back to the doom and gloom just a very few weeks ago, could it be that being a Salford fan just got a whole lot better?

I think he mean he's got the majority share of the stadium meaning Kaukash now owns 65% and peel left with 35% which is a big deal. didn't the council spend/borrow in the region of 10 million towards the build of the stadium with peel contributing the rest?

& Sale as tenants?

Have you heard those figures or are you speculating? Didn't Salford CC originally hold a 51% stake? If so, taking that could be a "controlling stake".

I'd take anything published in the MEN guardedly , until the truth is out , alot of the story was a rehash of other peoples stories & last weeks press conference post Wigan Game.

Nobody knows!
There was liitle to add in this morning's LE ~It sounds like Dr Koukash wants to keep his ammo dry to maximise the publicity from the actual press day. Even Veivers was not letting on even when some have already been reportedly training with the squad. If you keep people guessing , including us they're more likely to pay attention.
