thats no good......

I didn't know you could "join" a petition - don't you have to issue your own? (correction - a bit of Googling and it appears that other creditors can join a petition - but if SG have been paid doesn't that cancel out the original petition?)

How do you know Peel has pulled out?

If all you say is true, then the future looks rather bleak!

According to rugby league express we owe £150 thousand to tax man why does that not surprise me what truths are the club not telling us

All i would say is read the league express this morning.

Anyone who comments on Facebook about the tax bill and how crap the club is with its fans there dealeted it off

You can substitute a different petitioner if the original petitioner is paid.

All debts come into play in Insolvency proceedings,

If that's so then they are doing it slowly - there's been a post about the tax bill on there for the last 5 hours.

I read t'other paper this morning so missed that but yesterday had a long and interesting chat with ... someone who asked not to be named.

Peel are still very much in the frame but there is a different possible sponsor in the picture. However the future is not guaranteed.

From what I was told, I would not be optimistic about this. BigPev please check a bit more on the attitude of the council.

Yes, I know ... another from "they who know" but the information came from an employee of a company very involved with Salford over the last couple of years.

I was going to say, they might be avoiding answering any questions about the tax bill, but nothing has been deleted. I've been looking at said page on a semi-regular basis since about half 9 this morning and everything is still there.

Don't know mate as I don't use Facebook only going of what I was told don't have Facebook account. He said he commented just saying another thing the club don't tell fans but he could not post it because it was negative. I don't use Facebook for safety issues

Will people be aware there are so called fans on here and the facebook site that,for whatever reason, are telling lies
I don't mean about the situation the club are in,I agree many things at the club have been wrong for a long time, but claims that this has happened and that has been said by someone and they don't do this and don't do that sort of thing.
The bottom line is if you support the club then get behind it until either there is a positive or negative outcome if you find you can't accept that situation then stop supporting the club.

PS wonder how many can guess which of our/are (that's a clue) more negative fans??? has been seen singing I'm Salford till I die in the not to distant past.

I'd say most of us are all behind the club and want this mess sorting out. However, to ask questions and want some answers from the club is not a reason to stop supporting Salford. Blind faith and support is a very, very bad thing.

Interesting - here's a posting from Facebook by a Neil Hough:

"What so we have no right to ask about season tickets a club that can't be bothered to tell fans who put there money in buying season tickets are not in tittled to an explanation which reading that there pointing fingers at fans who care. I suppose to you ignorance is bliss. It's the only club in super league who leave it till the news get old of it to speak to fans. A club that offers the worst customer service and we don't have the right to air are views it's about time club needs fans through turnstiles not alienating us and not answering questions such as buyin season tickets for one we were no where near administration but had to sell players to stay a float there is one lie to supporters need I go on. Again we are in news for not paying bills the fans ask for truth and get a statement that blames fans they have done it for me I won't go any more how many more fans will keep putting up with crap customer services not wasting money on this club anymore fed up with it"

There are quite a few more in similar vein - yet eccles star denies he is on Facebook so clearly it can't be him!

I wouldn't dream of thinking it could be are/our eccles star.



ps
wasn't eccles one of the goons oops showing my age.

not asking for blind faith that's why I said "i agree many of the things at the club have been wrong for a long time" and there is nothing wrong with wanting questions answered but people telling lies is different and every bit as dangerous as blind faith.

Save Are Salford.

If any of that is aimed at Me, (Louise/MsCityRedGirl) I will stand by my Opinions staunchly, I truly care for this club , Ive put more than my fair share of Money and Timein, Ive backed the club even when it was knowingly in the wrong. All most supporters are asking for is Honest Communications at a Time that could ultimately prove fatal to the future of Our Once Great club. There is constructive criticism and there is just ranting and I don't believe my articles or views are of the latter.

my earlier post was NOT aimed at anyone asking for answers it was aimed at those people that have backed themselves into a position that leaves themselves with the only way out is for the club to fail so it results in them making allegations that are not true.
hope this makes my position clear

Hey Hopefully we've known each other long enough , I didn't believe you were having a dig, Just wanted to express why I have been Vocal in my disapproval of what is currently happening

No problem, after reading it again I realised I took that part out of context and I do agree with the point you were making. Fingers crossed this all gets resolved soon so we can move on.

Some encouraging news - and I'm getting desperate for some!!! Mind you, I don't believe everything I read in the papers. menmedia.co.uk/manchesterevening ... shirt-deal

The club make an official statement four days ago asking that everybody respects the sensitivity of negotiations with potential investors and refrain from engaging in potentially damaging speculation. Then Neil Barker at the Manchester Evening News goes to print with a speculative story with no substance that could jeopardise any potential investment to safeguard the clubs future. Words fail me.

I really wouldn't get worked up. ANY investor will be doing due diligence on the situation and will know far more about the position of the club, its sponsors, its potential deals, potential signings etc than Mr Barker - he's not written anything that isn't in the public domain already (when does he ever, given that he seems to get most of his stories straight off the message boards!).

Hope the latest 'news' is correct however it seems amazing how a positive story can be leaked when we have reached the stage of almost open revolt from the fans. Good tactic to get the fans to pipe down or is there genuine interest? Hope it is the latter.

At risk of getting a load of abuse here... I rang Neil yesterday to speak about this, and it has plenty of substance by the sound of it... and a story will not impact anything.

My reference to substance was the omission of a quote to backup the story. This would suggest to me that somebody has a loose tongue and is leaking sensitive information to Neil Barker. Considering the clubs statement on the 19th I can only imagine this source to be someone connected with the Council, Peel, the Stadium Management Company or the RFL.
