Team great, crowd disaster : Sat Feb 25, 2012 9:35 am
Am I the only regular going Salford fan that is really worried about our move to this stadium.The team are doing their bit but off the field it's a shambles! Despite very encouraging form at saints and good win at widnes, our crowd goes down after first match when all the excuses were played.....snow, minus 5, on tv, Saturday kick off....shall I go on! After one game in our super league life in a brand new stadium and a whole stand is shut!
Hull brought 2000(min)so with 600 corporates we had 2500 Salford punters max! Can't blame the product or the team or he stadium. We took 400 to widnes and they got over 5000 so their core crowd is double ours and they are proper s....e!
2 things....don't come on here spouting if you don't go to matches and......more importantly.....why can't the management fill the east stand with 2500 kids with free tkts? The residual spend alone would be worth it not to mention showing this great product of ours to a new audience! Off the field need to take a long hard look at themselves.
One final thing, don't try and tell me crowds have gone up compared to fixtures last season.....they have, it's a fact, but we also had over 6000 against hull the previous year and nearly 7000 v Cas in 2009 (at the willows!!!!!)
Sunday kick offs might just be the answer!
