Good grief ... freebies for the unwashed.
I an already writing a letter to MK about the people he let in on Sunday. I'm sure I smelled alcohol on a few breathes and it was the Christian Sabbath day. I also noted some strangers in the stand towards the bridge. None were Salford fans. I bet they did not have Salford season tickets.

We must not allow this, Mario, we must keep Salford City Reds for the pure and committed. I know I should be committed.

Are you a Salford fan - oh sod it that's old.

Bugger off Mario, you're bellendery knows no bounds.

If the Doc has too stand on Church street in Eccles in a pink tutu giving tickets away too drum up more attention to the club do it is what I say.

I do wonder sometimes with Peel/Medi City being linked to the club and stadium why with the huge presence they have in the area they are not more involved in promoting the club, surely if Peel actively promoted the stadium (thus benefiting Salford) they would generate more ticket sales, more wet sales and sell more dog food on a bun.

It's getting tiring now isn't it?

Can a mod have a word with him? He might not be doing anything wrong with regards to the AUP, but he's trampling all over the spirit of the forums.

A Wigan fan who's obsessed with Salford, and not in a good way. Pretending to be a genuine supporter. That's a pretty sad existence.

He also does that Wigan fans account on twitter.

Free tickets - some would say its like being at the Willows all over again!

I'm putting a price on Marios head, anyone who can get him banned gets a can of Umbongo, a luxury night in Swinton (a two man tent in the car park at McDonalds on the top road) and free season ticket at Barton sat next to that chunky Herbert from the North East even more annoying than me.

Tosspot.

What are people's opinion on this move by the club? Great idea or could we be reacting to disappointing numbers again this year, a little too soon? The big question is would more attend anyway when we eventually realise our potential as a team and register some really good results? Or do we need the extra numbers now (Vocal support) to help the team realise their potential?

If we want larger crowds, it'll help. It's not free tickets anyway, simply discounted. Every club has discounted tickets, indeed a lot still do free tickets to, just not every game as far as I'm aware.

It's fine saying fans will come when we have a run of 5, 10, 20 games unbeaten or whatever. Having the crowd supporting the players to start with helps us get there. Not that I expect us to go 20 games unbeaten - 5 would be nice and we're not too far off!

Yes, If you are a player Andy it must be very demoralising as a professional player when you run out at home in front of only 2700 people, especially when you have been playing in front of much bigger audiences elsewhere. It's also the clubs responsibility to do the very best job they can to get as many people through the turnstiles as possible and create the kind of atmosphere these players will thrive in.

Lower the prices to get more people in, then ask for a percentage of the increased sales at the stadium.

This seems like the best option in the short-term, I've thought it several times myself. The fact I've thought it leads me to believe the club must have at least asked about it...But you never know.

I have been speaking to some friends at work today and they seem very keen on coming to the game especially with the reduced ticket prices.

I think it's important as fans of the club to promote Salford in a positive way and try and get new fans on board. I don't know about any of you Salford fans on this forum but it has always been my dream to see us play at Wembley and the Old Trafford Grand Final.

The more support we have as a club the greater the chance of this becoming reality. So please anyone reading this do your best as a fan to help Salford become and success. Get behind the team and the board and let's make our dreams happen.

I notice now it's a lot easier to entice people to come when you mention the following.

-We've won 5 out the last 6 points.
-We have one of the best squads in the league.
-We've won 7 out of the last 9 home games
-We could go up to 4th place on Friday v Castleford

Don't even mention
-2700 v Wakefield
-The Saints performance

Sell the club, every little helps and us as fans can have a huge influence on how well the clubs does in the future.

2015 is the biggest season in the clubs history, lets make it one to remember.

SALFORD!!!!

Yes we can be a negative bunch can't we? and I'm as guilty as anyone at times. We always like to play the victim card don't we? I agree a more positive outlook from local supporters could help play a huge part in helping the club attract a lot more people to Barton.

I really would prefer that we didn't have the moderators intervening when posts are against the so called spirit of the forums. Does it really matter ?
As I've been reminded in the past,it's a forum !
Surely it's part of the fun.

Ignoring Mario's trolling, I actually think the topic has created some interesting posts.

That's the spirit need more fans like you!

I believe so. He's following me as well, for some bizarre reason. Still, I bet all this attention he's getting is helping him masturbate at night.

or its deflecting from just how gash Wigan are ATM - for a change.

I'm enjoying this Mario Rugby alter ego, I cant believe people haven't sussed it all out yet. Great work!

Does he have an alter-ego for each club or is it just us who get the pleasure of his company?

Think it's just us. I'm sure he started the twitter account for a Salford supporters club last week, but quit after he was rumbled on his first post.

Mario Rugby must be Neil Barker.

Bit harsh on Mario that mate. He can at least form a sentence.
