fearnowt Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 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 Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay; My, oh, my, what a wonderful day, Plenty of sunshine headin' our way; At Stadiwm Zip World, Colwyn Bay!

Rupert Prince Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorside roughyed Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Awesome news. Amateur RL needs investment like this (much more long term than kits, bibs and balls). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian Mackem Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Excellent news. The game of RL needs healthy grassroots clubs with strong foundations. Incidentally why did they change their name from Eccles to Salford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it's good to overspend by 50%? Its good of course that amateur clubs get grants. But they should spend wisely and run facilities that they can afford.

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