Will be a sell out at LSV next saturday also, KR have already sold the away stand apparently and Leigh have 60-70 available but have held back about 800 which will have to be released Monday

As we collect injuries in the next phase of the season we will not have the depth to reach a GF but that simply does not matter, to see my club competing consistently has not happened for 40+ years and is a time to savour and enjoy. The town is buzzing - we lost a lot of 'fans' in the wilderness years when our big and successful neighbours were picking up the pots, you dont see kids in Wigan/Wire/Saints shirts anymore. I was at the SL/Leopards 'unveiling' and the fan base was split, but we needed a new audience to grow, MASTERSTROKE. Fans go to a party every home game, last night my lads mate did his first ever RL game on a mates ST in the north stand - he's trying to get a season ticket this morning, we told him the stand was sold out but he's still trying. Next task is to stop our juniors being plucked by Wigan/Saints - that will take a few more year

The reserved East stand blocks for the bigger followings have gone back to Leigh this week, about 250 left nearly all in East J - will be the biggest paying home crowd at LSV

You get 800 tickets and are an hour away - should have been sold weeks ago for a club the size of Leeds for a huge game.

Salford financial issues(again…)

BINGO. The reality was known by the people offering deals, they didnt want to admit it and kept buying EuroMillions tickets to overcome it. -

Pre season you can promote another club - which means Sky get what they paid for and the circus is closed. By operating at £1.2m that is about the same as the Sky money, it has been rumoured the RFL are already in for that much or more so far. Salford fans would have had a Rorkes drift season that often makes a fan base stronger, and would have a squad that could be built from. Finally RL would have avoided the negatives to distract from a bag full of positives - perception is king -

This is where the previous RFL board showed outstanding weakness and lack of vision. If the hammer had been used when it should instead of listening to bull droppings coming out of the club we would not be here today 1/ Salfords squad would be larger 2/ Salford fans would know exactly where they stood 3/Salford fans would have been fully united behind a backs to the wall season as London in 2024 4/ The comp wouldnt be compromised 5/ The negative publicity would never have occurred By allowing the garbage spouted to be swallowed Salford got to game 1, thus making RFL compliance totally unrequired as the penalties from TV outweighed doing the right thing. -

How can you pay a squad with a cost of over £1.2m but only play £1.2m worth at any one time? Is it because they refused to sell players to get the squad below £1.2m when they could have and brought in cheaper players to retain squad numbers
