3 friendlies and less than 8000 people total! Been in shed for 40 years and you would think fans would want to support the lads. I fear the worse! We should be getting at least 8000 for first super league game v cas but rumours say less than 5000!
You would at least think people would want to see new ground!
Mind you, club don't help with no signage to ground, only one access road in and out, barely no advertising of games and the local kids not encouraged enough with say family stand, free tkts, etc
We need to fill this baby!
Otherwise we might as well have stayed at willows.
Atmos the other night v Wigan was like a morgue!
Come on solly lot get your fingers out!

Watch what you say.... You will be casted as a thickwit or lacking the odd braincell or two for having these opinion's. I and a few others have pointed the many flaw's out before on other threads to which was met with a barage of abuse. Your absolutely right with your above points of view but the heirachy fail to solve the many fiasco's that haunt our club. Were sunk to the bottom of superleague for a reason and it's not the people of Salford's fault we have ijit's running it....

For most of the pre season I've been one of the biggest complainers about the state of the board and it's chronic malaise as we moved to the new stadium.

However 8000 to the friendlies is hardly a disaster. I haven't been able to go to a single pre season game due to a combination of work, kids and lack of funds. Most people like myself will shun a friendly game for other priorities. I've been aching to go to the games and it's killed me that I haven't seen the new team play in the new stadium. However it's now the business side of things. The new season is starting I've got my season ticket and I'm sure that the beginning of proper SL games will be enough to help increase the gate for the first game. Which a lot of people will see as the "first" game at the new stadium.

If we can win the Cas game then I fully expect to see a bigger gate at the next home game. Even after we get pasted at Saints the following week live on sky.

Heard the other day that at Brighton's new ground, the Amex, they stock the away team's local brew in the bars. Any chance? And if so, would that mean Ricard all round when we play host to Catalans.

Football weekly podcast??
If so, think they said it's just in the away end? Fantastic idea though. We can't even stock the home fan's local beers

FC United do the same thing in one of the pre-match bars. There's usually a local real ale from the team we're playing alongside various bottles of Holts'. I don't see why more clubs don't do it, they'd definitely have plenty of take-up on it.
