fearnowt 447 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 We ran a coach to Eccles from Wrexham a few years ago to surprise one of the members there, Kenny Roberts, who followed us home and away, and had supported the old Celtic Crusaders in Bridgend. It was a great day out and we were made very welcome. Congratulations and best of luck to everyone at Eccles. Wonderful news. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rupert Prince 1,601 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 The Council are very generous. An amateur club with only £14,000 of its own, commits £680,000 of other peoples money and then overspends by 50%. We need investment in rugby league so I'll look away from the history of this, but I'm guessing there are a number of cans of worms wriggling around in Salford Council. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moorside roughyed 3,102 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Good news, Saddleworth rangers built a new club house a few seasons ago and they've never looked back. It raises more revenue for the club with functions etc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tommygilf 7,326 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Awesome news. Amateur RL needs investment like this (much more long term than kits, bibs and balls). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cumbrian Mackem 255 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Excellent news. The game of RL needs healthy grassroots clubs with strong foundations. Incidentally why did they change their name from Eccles to Salford? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's explained, superficially at least, in the article. (The project is bigger now than originally planned.)
