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.

I have paid £12 for my ticket.

£15 for a ticket, is that a joke? I paid £7 last year!

So how much is a ticket for this game, £20 with £2 discount, £12 or £15? Does it depend on what time of day you go to the ticket office or whether the sales assistant fancies you or what?

I was told earlier it is £15 concessions, but to be honest your guess is as good as mine!

People go way over the top when estimating our away following. 3K to Salford? Never in a month of Sundays.

Got my free ticket!

todays a friday though

There were 3000 from Warrington there today, IMO. It was a great following.

Yes I think there you're right. That's the biggest following to Salford that I can remember.

And mine that I can remember. I looked behind with 5 mons before kick off, and the seated stand above was full of Wire.

Yeah it's the first time that I've seen so many seated Wire fans there. There were also some it the West stand (Not sure what it's called) too. Excellent turnout.
