My Rugby Union loving Geordie friend at Uni had the offer to recieve a free salford ticket last season, he couln't go but has pestered me ever since to get to a game. He's paying on the door on Friday and he's bloody excited.

So whilst missing out on free tickets etc, he's actually paying to watch the game. The incentive obviously has worked in this case.

Yes. And?

season ticket holder for god knows how many years,
in the lottery for 31 years £2.00 a week, £104 a year to date £3224 and counting

about 12 - 16 years ago I was an agent with over 50 members all paying a £1 aweek, but i moved jobs i don't know how many are still in but a number did direct debits at the time.

Guess what i got a free ticket for Friday according to the club we have 5500 lottery mambers all got an invite, so check with club.

Oh I won £75 in 1987
and £10 in 2005
but i m only in the draw to help out the club

WHAT A RETARD /

my mum got a voucher for 2 free tickets through but only decided to tell me last night and you needed to have applied for them before yesterday! ha i think it's a good idea! just another way to try and get new fans. she also gets free tickets for some gaves coz she works at the uni.

you know us GT. if we are not moaning then something is wrong

Amateurs.

I resent the idiots remark GT. Just because I feel my treatment as a season ticket holder has been unfair does not make me an idiot!!! If they want attract more fans then put a winning team on the pitch.

There will be undoubtedly some new faces there on Friday as some people have mentioned on here, but how many free tickets will find their way into the hands of those who already come to games or are stay away fans until they get a freebie.

As usual in this World you end up getting very little reward for loyalty.

i am pi**ed off with this offer i am the only one im my family who gets a season ticket i have paid £111 for mine and my whole family are getting free tickets every week. i dont mind when they do free tickets for the catalan celtic and harlequins games but for games against the socalled big team like wigan its a f**king joke.

well you konw the answer don't buy a season ticket next year, and wait for all the free tickets if you are so pi**ed off with the club or do as do when I get a free ticket offer I have two free tickets and four friends, two use the tickets but pay half the entrance fee of the other two, so money is still going into the club and I still have my season ticket, which is very good value for money.

i have just been sent a free ticket by email for tonights match the only thing is i have a season ticket this is the second one they have sent me that i will chuck......what a waste they must be hard up for supporters or they want to impress someone by filling the stadium....

i have just had the same invite and having to bring along more id than i needed to get into Russia, I also have the Lotto draw tickets as well I think which according to the letter I pick up at the ticket office but since sending the email on the 12th March I have had no confirmation of this. So I am taking my email I sent along to night to confirm.

I think the offer is really gr8.

I don't have a season ticked because i can't affird one so i'm picking the games i wanna go to. Because i booked a ticked for this game they offered me a free one as well. As a resuld my house m8 and his fiance (sorry can't spell that word) are coming who have never seen RL b4.

So becuause the club offered me a free ticked the are getting a little bit extra gate money and 2 new RL fans (maybe!)

Why dont you do the same and have done with it news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/7946016.stm

I for one am happy for the free tickets!!! I have been a season ticket holder for many years and have supported our great club for over 35 years. But I was made redundent last year and cannot afford a season ticket for this year! I had the e-mail offer from the club for free entry to the Harlequins game and a reduced entrance for tonight of £5:00, sorry but for me they can keep doing the promotions as otherwise I would not get to see any games.

Quote ="willowred"Why dont you do the same and have done with it news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/7946016.stm'" No comment about the attendance tonight, you disappoint me. Is it possibly because tonight's attendance was on a par with your usual season total until 2006?

Bottom line = the club could offer a free bottle of whisky for life, a free blow job and a caribbean holiday with 10 Grand spending money, and the good people of Salford would STILL stay away!! End Of...

Or the fact you gave away vast amounts of free tickets so the actual paying attendance was not revealed, but if it was and minus the Wigan support probably another poor effort. We dont need to hand out freebies to get people in the ground we had over a 1000 more last weekend against Celtic than you had at your cup final

I'm sorry........... were you there?
have you got any idea how many of the people there got in for free and haw many paid? Have you got any idea how many were salford fans and how many were wigan?

Yes- the atendance was boosted by a big away support but there was a good show from Red fans too. I got in with a free ticked, that ment i could give my ticket away and the guy i gave it to bought someone else who paid full price. plus one of them said he would def come again.

It was a good promo and a good crowd. I don't think we should be embarassed about that. (maybe i should be embarressed that i can't spell but thats another story!)

the free ticket thing worked last night. 4 lads out of our club got there freebies from a source. they said they WONT be back. but hey at least i paid my money

keep building the Ark (global warming) that should keep you away from our boards for a while and your hands occupied or are you really a secret Salford fan ?

..... so if they [uwon't[/u be back....it DIDN'T work

Tough one this I have a mate who over the last three seasons has steadily got into watching Salford, so much so that he bought a season ticket for himself and his son this season.

Last night he said to me I wish I hadn't bought one now, firstly because it is painful to watch, secondly because he says he has had a free ticket lined up for all three home games so far this season , and thirdly because tickets are cheaper than at the box office at a local drinking hole. (said diplomatically).

Does it work I don't know ???

should only give free tickets out for games like celtic, catalans or quins.
