Just read this on the Salford mb.
Its hard to not think Mr Wilkinsons reputation as someone who runs a sound ship, is going to be in tatters when this comes to an end.

Doesn't sound good, but the article is written in such complete gibberish is hard to decide if the article is complete tripe or not.

Agreed.You'd have thought they would have got an accountant in to do the work properly before going to press .As it stands it looks like they are getting a lot of pleasure from just trying to annoy people.

They will go bust, fold and restart as a totally new club without debts.

and then be handed a 1 year probationary sl licence to sort themselfs out absolute joke !

Is that why this charade has been dragged out since July. The nearer they get to the start of SL season means there's more chance of the RFL finding it far too difficult to redo the fixtures. They don't have to though do they. Every Salford fixture just becomes a bye week

As a salford city council employee i am disgusted with the amount of money being poured into this club(salford). And at a time were many council employees face massive reductions in pay or worse unemployment. I have made my feelings known to the councillors and made my union know what is happening. I would not like any rugby club to go bust as it plays a major part in communities however it should not be at the expense of hard working people.

Yeah i agree Keith. I believe a council must show support but 3 million well thats to much!

Do the LSV put hard cash into Leigh coffers (not coffey). Salford loans and back door cash and redirection of council monies from a charity are a completely different kettle of fish.

I think you;ll find that the LSV give us reduced rates etc,wiaver charges to help us, not actually give us any money, thats a big difference.

Being 'supported' and being 'propped up' are worlds apart.

If its a genuine partnership between the lsv and the centurions, and the club isn't running up debts it will never be able to repay, then its irrelavant whats happening here

Its not looking good for Salford just been listening about their problems on Radio Manchester GMR. Not sure what will happen but no matter it is another sad day for this great game.

I just wish the idiots who are running the game at RLF HQ will get their heads from up their fat backsides and let common sense prevail.

Good luck Salford hope you can sort yourselves out.

The clubs have to shoulder a huge amount of responsibility as well as the RFL. We've been as guilty as everyone else and are still learning from the experience. Really don't know what the solution is as there just seems to be so much going wrong in RL in recent times.

I suspect things will unravel very quickly at Salford now. Sad but with a winding up hearing due 1st week of Jan they will surely seek to protect what's left with administration. Now what will SL do? Its not the middle of the season so no real problem with fixtures if The Reds dropped out but where do they go.

They might chuck barra out of this league cos there lights are crap and put salford in here.
Just joking....If this particular salford club does disappear and a new one is reborn,it will have to be in champ 1,although that would depend on salford council allowing them to play for nothing at the new stadium.

Well hindsight is a wonderffull thing.

I feel sorry for their fans and moving to Barton was always daft.

It is and always was a very badly planned facility.

Public transport links are not good and although I live 5 minutes walk from Salford Central Station I can get to the LSV quicker than to Barton.

They should have stayed at the Weaste.

Lets hope they survive and go back there.

Dont think it exist anymore mate

It does.

Its been bulldozed,its gone.

He said The Weaste, which I believe does still exist. Don't think the vault is big enough for a rugby ground though

Was costing them more to keep the Willows going than it does to rent the new ground. The club have tried there best with buses from the Willows and Irlam Station etc but otherwise the stadium is poor. Lets hope it is all sorted as best as possible.

They need crowds of 8000 a match to make Barton viable. Never going to happen.
