Will you be open early enough to show the Hull derby beforehand in the Willows bar?

How can two clubs both selling tickets in advance of the game charge different prices? Shouldn't Warrington be able to sell their batch at the reduced price also?

£20 for a standing ticket and no roof, no wonder they only get crowds of 3k in, what a dump why don't they promote something of better value

Got mine today form the club shop. Looking forward to it.

Dont bother coming then, tool

can we pay when we get to the ground, or do we need to get tickets beforehand?

But hes Right...

Good turnout expected been told plenty of tickets been purchased already
Hope its a good crowd,good atmosphere & great game see ya all at the Willows for last game v Wire, unless we get you in cup!!

Shocking prices no wonder they couldn't get 3000 last week.

Good question - anyone know the answer?

And as for 'shocking' prices. It's only a quid more to watch Warrington at home. I know that the Willows is a charmless hovel but that's why they're moving.

True but we get decent attendances. This is Salford's final season at their long time home - what are they doing to try to go out on a high? Our attendances were up in 2003, despite the disastrous 2002 season. Charging £20 to get into a poor stadium to stand in sub-3000 crowds in such a historic season is crackers. OK so the crowd this Friday might rise to 5 or 6k, but they should have been aiming for a sell-out.

I've never understood the poor stadium/good stadium ticket price justification.

Can you pee, can you buy a pie and beer and can you watch rugby in any stadium in SL, erm yes.
If i wanted to go and marvel at a stadium i'd pay for the Old Trafford tour instead.

Yes it's a dump but you are paying for the privilege to watch the game not the quality of the stadium.

You are missing the point. Most clubs that move to a new stadium see a big increase in attendances. Therefore it is proven that they have an affect. Salford are in a historic year and ought to be looking to build momentum before their big move - exactly what we did and look at us now. Getting less than 3k is very poor and charging £20 can't be helping.

Ok SEB, imagine Salford have their nice new stadium, have ticket prices of £10 for adults, how many fans do you think they'd get per game (excluding away fans)?

I can't see, even with a succesful club, Salford getting a regular crowd over 7k in the next 10 years.

erm...there was a slightly large football match on at the same time don't you know with one of the teams' home ground being approx 2 miles away...jog on

Think you'll find that was because half of the Greater Manchester area was 200 miles down south last saturday.

How depressingly unambitious. Salford should be looking at getting at least a couple of sell-outs next year, with proper marketing and ticket offers.

From Salford's licence application:


Looking at other comments in it, it seems they realise they have had a very unappealing product at the Willows: a poor stadium in a very poor location and a poor team. And that 2012 onwards provides them with a huge opportunity to grow so perhaps they've decided marketing won't make much difference in 2011, let's just maximise ticket revenue.

Salford need to adopt the Warrington model when we went to the HJ back in 2004.

which was?

Are people honestly judging Salford attendances based on last Saturday? Seriously?! They were victims of atrocious scheduling and anyone with any knowledge of sport outside RL would have been aware beforehand that half their season ticket holders wouldn't even be turning up for that one, nevermind anyone else. I was actually surprised they got as many as they did.

Personally I'll miss the Willows when it's gone and I'm looking forward to Friday. I do think £20 is overpriced, but so is £19 to get into Warrington. We still pay it, and it's only a quid difference.

I for one can't wait, any salford fan know if they still have the robbies ice cream van.... best ice cream in the north.

no i'm basing it on this www.slstats.org/t13/Salford+City+Reds/ besides, last weeks semi final wouldn't have affected it too badly, all united fans live down south as we all know.
