I would be disappointed if we don't have 5k plus on for this one. If you don't pre purchase tickets you will need to buy one at the ticket office before the game, no cash on turnstiles.

Easier to pre purchase, can even print your ticket off and take that to the turnstile.

if you don't pre buy you will have to queue for 40 minutes while the 2 people in the ticket office work out what to do, be prepared to pay more than the advertised price (like hull on thursday). then get to the turnstiles to be told you are being moved to another stand



i would hope we bring a decent amount over john,we usually do ok support wise at salford, but we have usually made a good start before we come to yours to get our fingers burned!

I always pre buy my ticket - but still had to queue to swap the kids tickets which weren't the right ones, after walking all the way round ( even though id phoned the club to check and was told by the woman who answered that they would be accepted) Then walk round the stadium again only to be told to walk all the way back round again as we were being moved. Biggest farce I've ever known.

I have noticed drastic improvements in the last 12 months, Koukash has got a grip of the stadium management company and they appear to have got their act together.

Just remember NO cash on turnstiles, pre-purchase a ticket and avoid parking on the stadium car park unless you're happy to wait 45 minutes after full time to leave.

The fans bar is always open after games and is worth popping in for a drink rather than sat in traffic if you do decide to park on site.

why no cash on the turnstiles? odd decision.

i have bought my ticket from the giants as it has been a farce on the last two occasions at salford.

Obviously staff can't be trusted with cash...

Insurance issues. Wasn't a cost the stadium company were prepared to foot.

dont park at the stadium
dont buy tickets at the stadium
dont try and have a drink or do anything at the stadium pre match


sounds like the ideal way to attract fans to it

So hopefully you will all see how desperate Marwan is to buy into the Stadium and improve things for the club. We are doing our best but the hands are tied around the back.

That's not quite what he said is it?
If you need to get away within about 40 minutes of the end of the game, don't park at the stadium, You WILL be stuck in traffic.
If you haven't already got a ticket, give yourself plenty of time to get one at the stadium, as they are busy and slow (although friends of mine have turned up 45 mins before kick off and not even had to queue to get one).
The match day experience is great now. There are lots of things going on both inside and outside the ground. Loads of places to eat and drink (including a *spit* Yorkshire based stand selling real ale, specialist whiskies etc.), a marquee outside the fans bar that has live music, the fans bar which is spacious enough, selling two pinters if you are that way inclined, "fun!" stuff for the kids, scantily clad fire eaters on stilts (I you not), the fittest programme sellers you have ever seen, etc etc....
But don't worry about any of that, turn up at 5.45, park in the stadium car park and moan like bitches because it was "a nightmare" getting off the car park.

it was tongue in cheek, see my earlier post

I know

But we want anyone who turns up to have a great time (result dependant

) and we try to make sure people know the score. It was an opportunity to reinforce what has already been said.
Follow the advice and I'm sure you will have a great day. And don't come mithering on our board afterwards if you don't.

Mullally maybe back for this one?

Aye, Mullally recalled. Will get some game time over easter I reckon and if he impresses then whoever he pushes out should have to work to get back in the squad.

yep mullally back from bulls loan, with no faiumu for a month he should come in, hopefuly kicks on now big chance for him

salford 11/8 to win

I thought they would have been better odds on a Salford win.

firstly Salford are a bit of a bogey team and 2/ They are playing better than us at the minute.

Although it appears that we have turned a corner, the Hull FC game was lost until another one of our squad sold his soul to the devil to conjure up Golden Point time and TBF, Bradford scored far too easily in the 2nd half...

We have never been favourites against yourselves and I fear that if we aren't playing to full capacity, you will do a number on us similar to what Stains did, although I'm hoping for 3 wins on the trot

those are the better odds, would not of been surprised to see salford priced up at 5/6 faves for this one.

the fact its 11/8 (and bigger now) is a decent price on what we know... still hope the Giants win like and the bookies have priced up correctly!

No robbo. About time they gave him chance to get right. Guess it will be bailey in the halves then, as given Andersons lack of faith in the youngsters I can't see Connor going straight in there.
Good to see leroy and larne back.

1. Scott Grix
2, Jermaine McGillvary
3. Leroy Cudjoe
4. Joe Wardle
5. Aaron Murphy
6. Danny Brough
8. Eorl Crabtree
9. Shaun Lunt
10. Craig Kopczak
12. Jason Chan
13. Chris Bailey
14. Michael Lawrence
15. Larne Patrick
17. Ukuma Ta’ai
18. Kyle Wood
20. Antonio Kaufusi
21. Anthony Mullally
23. Josh Johnson
27. Jake Connor

must be giving robinson a rest with two games coming up in 4 days as with broughton. As we have options in both positions with bailey and murphy. So makes sense

think they will line up like so

Grix
mcgillvary
cudjoe
wardle
murphy

lunt
brough
bailey

crabtree
kopczak
chan
lawrence
patrick

bench-
Kaufusi
Mullally
wood
taai

johnson and connor to drop out.

will be interesting to see how bailey goes.
patrick/taai/chan need big games... patrick may be rusty though

Not sure which side he's on but would rather have broughton against Johnson than smurph, if he breaks he won't be caught.

Robinson was limping heavily across the stadium bridge heading to the team photos with the fans this week.

Really interesting to see how bailey goes if he is moved into the halves. Maybe a blessing in disguise, with robbo having to miss a game or too. That said, robbo has been one of our better, if not best player so far this season. But if Bailey and brough can click, then, robbo getting back into the team via interchange hooker may improve balance and depth of our match day squad.

Hope mulally grasps opportunity with both hands. Great to see Leroy and larne back in the fold. Seems a very quick turnaround for larne. Hope he's not rushed back. If he is good to go, then he really bolsters the pack.

Surprised to see no broughton, hopefully just rested.

Strong looking side that. I'd be tempted to switch Kaufusi with Eorl or Koppy to have a bit of snarl from the start.
