Salford is going to become a growth area in terms of money and investment when the Media City is up and running. The Quays area is a fantastic place to live for young successful professionals, city vibe, attractive location visually, close to Manchesters social scene. There's going to be money in the area to tap into so strategically its essential for Super League IMO to have a franchise there.

The Quays and everything wonderful it brings has been a growth area for at least 10 years and hasnt had any noticable effect on the club. The largest industrial park in Europe is on its doorstep for a hundred years. Again, little effect.

The supposed new ground in Barton is as far removed from the Quays as Ordsall or Weaste is.

Take one loyal and much respected servant away and they could easily be Swinton.

Some sad people, schoolyard bully types feel the need to pick on some one, usually the new boy.

Salford did OK yesterday but will likely finish bottom 3 - so what someone has to.

There is a great deal of potential at Salford as there is at many clubs, but as ever it will depend on whether certain things happen or don't.

Problem with the VT is it's just a place where loons can dump their particular grudges and prejudices or in some cases just start an argument.

Nothing wrong with it so long as you accept that it's mainly drivel.

The much respected John Wilkinson has had an infinatley greater and noticable affect on Salford City Reds than the Quays or Trafford Park has or indeed will have. Only a halfwit would be blind to that.

Had he been a Swinton fan and Malcolm White (you need to go back pre SL if you can) was a Salford fan, then it could just as easily be the Lions having over 20 years of loyal support sufficient to maintain a top flight slub.

As for grudges, if you can really be bothered, have a look at the support I posted long ago for Salford being granted a place in SL and how important a new ground in the area is, not just to them but RL as a whole.

Then google 'prejudice' and perhaps 'irony', then refer back to your own post.

I think you may have misunderstood my post, I wasn't disagreeing with YOU, nor was I agreeing. Just making a point that Salford are bound to attract comments from the loon who started this thread, they need a whipping boy.

Most of what you say is correct - it could also very easily be applied to a number of clubs some of whom are doing rather well.

Not sure I understand this thread. Are we being potentially booted out of SL because our ground and support base isn't good (because there are a number of SL teams in that boat) or because we've lost one game so far this season (because there are a number of SL teams in that boat)?

It seems its because the OP is an booty

Salford have failed to impress so far.

They have beaten Celtic at home and then got thumped by the lowly Wakefield. (Take the Aussies Demetriou, Drew, and Blanch out of the side and Wakefield is not a SL standard team).

Their first home ground attendance of 4,026 was abysmal. It was exceeded by the home game crowd of Celtic Crusaders and Harlequins this weekend.

Salford have some very good players but a poor coach and administration. The coach, who is personally a lovely man and a good TV commentator for sure, is not respected in Australia as a coach. The administration of Steve Simms has a lot of question marks around it. If the new stadium does not get under construction by early 2011, and their crowds do not increase to over 6,000, then I would expect that the RFL has every right to dump them.

You're a team after 2 SL games and you think they may be dumped ? Give it time.

Salford fans:
1. Ignore posts about your attendance figures, especially when they come from people who are not fans of your club.
2. Ignore the "they're 5hit" posts, especially if they come from people who are not fans of your club!
2. DO NOT BITE!! If you feed trolls, they generally come back.
4. Please feel free to reward such trolling with one of these.

5. Good luck for the next 3 years...I am sure you will do well

The RFL dont have ' the right ' to dump anybody

Do you mean ' Lowly Wakefield ' who beat W1g4n at the JJB

Take 3 aussies out of the Celtic or Catalans team and they are not SL standard

Are any coaches over here ' respected ' in Australia

Give it a rest Albert

The standard in super league is very poor. I'd like to know how many players currently in super league are what people would call "super league standard".

And don't big up Wakefield beating Wigan either. Given the way we're playing at the moment Warrington Wizards could probably beat us.
