I think parking will put a lot of people off. If you can't get on the airport, then a 25 min walk to the ground will put a lot of people off.

Why is there no park and ride from the Trafford Centre? Everyone knows where that is! We are not only trying to attract people from Salford but outlying areas such as Warrington etc. How many of these will know where West One is?!

I hope I am wrong as it will be great to see the stadium with a decent crowd on. I'm just not sure of the logistics of everyone getting there.

Surely all the on site parking (not sure how many spaces we have), has been taken by TV, Corp etc?

Taripo is with Newtown Jets a feeder club to the Sydney Roosters ,
I still can't believe the 40metre bowling ball try Konrad Hurrell scored, worth the ticket fee on its own.

What impressed me about Taripo was his work rate. Late in the game he was still coming into the middle to make carries from inside in his own 20 metres line. His try and touch line conversation was sensational. So far our recruitment has not been imaginative. I can understand why we have recruited who we have but we are in a position where we can take a punt on one or two unknowns with raw talent from the RLWC to complement the signings we have made.

Ive been to the games at Leigh & Rochdale and they have been the best games of rugby league I have witnessed in years. Played in vibrant atmospheres with a healthy mix from hardcore rugby league supporters to complete novices. Tomorrow is a perfect opportunity to sell our new stadium to supporters whether they be stay aways from the Willows days or people not familar with the sport. If we are able to replicate the match day occassions I have witnessed so far it would be a great selling point, far more impressive than any Salford games in the last two seasons. It could be the ideal platform for this 'red devil revolution'. I have not seen much evidence so far that this will happen but will hold judgement until tomorrow night.

the only player I can recall Salford have signed on the strength of a World Cup performance was Fata Sini following his game for Western Samoa against England in the 1995 world Cup ( RU )

Wasn't Ali Davys signed on the back of impressing for the Cook Islands in the 1995 Emerging Nations World Cup?

Didn't we get Lokeni Savelio following a good showing in the RU world cup too?
