The 2019 GF appearance followed up by making it to Wembley the following year would have seen some sort of uplift in any other scenario. It's a shame that the momentum has since gone. Well didn't the big two seasons Salford had, include and benefit greatly from the talents of Jackson Hastings and Ian Watson???? Didn't Wigan offer the excellent on field leader Hastings more money to go there and didn't Ian Watson also get poached as well by Huddersfield for more money? Corrections and other people's thoughts most welcome but as hard as Salford have tried they have been victims of richer clubs being able to cherry pick them. I feel sorry for Salford, and I feel they have done great things without just chucking money about, but in the end the ££££££££'s talk. Those old enough will recall it can work both ways. Rich Salford owner Brian Snape spent plenty on Unions finest especially David Watkins, and Leagues finest taking Steve Nash from Featherstone... Salford's "momentum" was powered by Watson and Hastings...... The "momentum" may now turn to Koukash and Beaumont, and that's just how these things go............

idrewthehaggis Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) If I recall the context of King speaking about "1000 season holders" was in regards to the impact of the Pandemic and uncertainty of fans attending in 2022, as well as unfounded speculation about where SRD will play next season.

I'm not sure I would push so much of the blame towards the RFL for potential failure. It seems we blame them when clubs fail but we don't praise them for success. It's no more RFLs fault when SRD struggle than it is their brilliance when Saints succeed IMO. Clubs need to take responsibility rather than deflect blame, I believe a more responsible mindset would aid clubs rather than looking elsewhere for help, handouts etc. Imo that's exactly what SRD are doing, taking control of their destiny and one I support albeit I quite like their current stadium. If I remember correctly they didn't get an academy license because they didn't meet the requirements and when they had one before they stopped running an academy because it was pointless. All the best 14 year olds go saints or Wigan, what's the advantage of running one when you only attract tier 5 or 6 players?

Lovely optimism but some points need countering - your optimism needs some relation to reality after all. Salford weren't getting 3k total, never mind having 3k ST holders. Hopefully getting away from Barton will help, but you didn't have 3k ST fans at Willows either. Will you pay rent at Peninsula?? Shouldn't you be aiming to own your next home? Pensinsula does NOT have the same land footprint associated with Cas - nowhere near. Salford aren't "well-run and debt free" - you can't afford your rent because you overspend on players and your CVA debt was written off because you didn't pay it and it timed out. That's not a well run club. Salford decided not to run an academy because they, well, couldn't afford one - despite Billy Big ###### Koukash saying XYZ. The RFL did not "supress" you.

According to this total Premier League matchday revenue for last season was £700 between 20 clubs. An average of £35 Million per club over 19 games. https://www.statista.com/statistics/874020/revenue-of-premier-league-football-clubs-by-stream/ I can’t see how £1M per game is remotely achievable at Moor Lane or £200 per fan assuming 5000. I suspect SRD would be happy with the £100,000 per game that is more likely.

Robthegasman Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I have read an article about this on the Manchester Evening News website. And it seems that in order to get Moor Lane up to Super League standards will cost a bit of money which I thought was the case regardless.It seems that the floodlights aren’t SL standard, and that the advertising hoardings aren’t high enough which would reduce capacity to make them bigger along with the TV gantry not being good enough. Who would pay for that to be rectified? How much would it cost?And would it be worth it? Now reading the article and reading between the lines,it suggests that Salford as a Super League club is simply not going to be sustainable. And the article suggested that they may have to look elsewhere for a Super League quality Stadium ie the Manchester arena next to the Etihad,Middlebrook,Bolton or Gigg Lane Bury.But that means leaving the area and they only need to look at Swinton to see how that has effected them. It certainly looks to me as an outsider looking in that they are facing an existential issue now.Very much at crunch time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
