does this mean at the moment that everyone will have to queue at the 4 windows on friday night to purchase a "ticket" before entry to the ground via turnstiles....if so hope they are opening up very very early

Wigan fans can buy through Wigan.

I'd like to apologise to GT for being childish, just didn't appreciate the swearing aimed towards me, listen I'm only going off what I was told, ill give you a clue, I work in Wigan and know this somebody's dad and brother who if I told you who it was you'd not doubt him one bit as he's right in the centre of it all.

It's been mentioned on somewhere (stadium facebook possibly) that they will have additional temporary ticket offices open on Friday.


And Red League - the reason they were able to start processing the 5 year season tickets last week was simply because they don't involve any financial transaction as they have already been paid for.


Reading through the thread I get the impression that it could be that for all intents and purposes, the "deal was done" last week (i.e. all parties agreed), but legally it's not done until all the paperwork is registered in the correct places.

Its truely remarkable how petty and puerile some of you lot are.Your Club was on the edge of oblivion,its being saved,no thanks to most of you and you are already beginning to criticise the new owner,if you can't arrive two minutes before fridays game and sit where you want - no doubt you'll start saying £15 is too much for a ticket shortly.Frankly you don't deserve a Club.

Think by far and away the best idea I have seen re this Friday is to allow the season ticket holders from last season who still have the cards access via that and then the club have all but 3 weeks to sort out this years.

No worries, I got a bit too carried away myself, had just been in the middle of a stress inducing discussion with a few others about it all. As it is, I've been hearing quite a few bits and pieces from people who know people and all the rest of it and things keep changing. Hence the cynicism towards anyone else talking about things.

Fingers crossed we do hear something by the end of the day.



Nobody's criticising the new owner you silly, silly person, you. I can't imagine all these hold ups are just down to him, are they? I'm sure you can understand the frustrations of people who've been waiting a long time for this whole saga to be settled, even pre-takeover, and who just want to be able to buy their season tickets.

Get a grip and leave us to discuss our own affairs, please. Thanks.

How certain is this?

my dad who is terminally ill was visited twice by john wilkinson twice in st annes hospice he rang me yesterday after an update how my dad was we then spoke about the take over the reason why its been stalling was his side of the contract was worded wrong and there had been a bit of wrangling over it he was e mailed the new contract at 4 am on monday morning from the new ceo in australia it has now been signed and all ok now
two of the new signings are ryan mcgoldrick and karl pryce with murphy another
more worrying tho is the stadium company had banned him from dining in there and his box which he had paid up front for three years had been refused and told he would not be able to use it anymore but mr koukash has invited him to take up the role of president which he is still mulling over he is that disappointed what has gone on with the stadium company he has made enquiries about who has told him he wasnt welcome any more but the silence has been deafening the press conference was pencilled in for lunchtime today hope this throws some light on this post

Ye mate lets just support our team ay, thought I'd post it on here as the person in question was apparently buzzing on the phone yesterday morning, I just got abit too excited about it all.

Noon on Thursday according to Neil Barker

Salford Facebook page confirm press conference called for midday tomorrow.

Its just been announced on the official Twitter feed that the press conference will be tomorrow (Thu) at Midday.

Hopefully some good news and a few marquee signings!

Also mentioned on Talk Sport , Press Conference ' within the next 24Hrs' to announce new owner... I wonder who this will be

, Actually I nearly crashed the car with the mention of Rugby league on Talk Sport inbetween a load of twaddle about some city footballer going to Milan ??

I wouldn't build your hopes up too high too soon, I'd expect the marquee signings will be next year and beyond.

I have a sneaky suspicion you may be right. All I see at this stage is a boost to squad numbers and maybe a couple of overseas players coming in later. Not that it is a big problem, I don't expect a world-class side any time soon. The important thing is we have a Team and a future once again.

All we need is for new fans and old fans to stick with the side through what will probably be a pretty torrid season.

We can't afford to be fickle as we need to boost those numbers coming through the turnstiles.

Radio Manchester saying Dr Koukash will be the guest on the RL programme tomorrow night. All may be revealed, if he can get a word in past Jack Dearden.

I'm concerned the club have rushed into this. I suggest they sit back and think about it. We don't play our first match until 8 o'clock on Friday night. Let's not rush into anything rash...

So had the press conference been put back to Thursday as RFL CEO Nigel Wood is to be Present alongside Dr Koukash ,
He would not have been available today due to the RFL annoucing [url=http://therfl.co.uk/news/article/26919/rfl-appoint-brian-barwick-asBrian Barwick is new RFL Chairman[/url?

Heard this from Wilky's Barber
