Yeah I agree. Wilkys programme notes were slightly worrying:

"We need your backing to help us achieve a viable situation here at Salford City Stadium."

Charging £10 for kids (league games) is unlikely to get the families flocking in.

What done City and Utd charge for kids, what do Sale charge for kids, whats the cost of a ST for kids compared to those previously mentioned???

united charge £10 for kids, yes it's the same price but if i said to my kids 'do you want to go and watch united or salford?'
what do you think their answer would be?

RL junior season tickets are probably the best value in any sport, however you have to attract them to a few games first before they are going to fork out on a season ticket.

Well it's my second visit to the council house now to which teething problems are to be expected and evident, but with a bit of tweaking should be ironed out soon. But somehow i can't get enthused with the stadium, it doesn't feel like home like the willows. The main stand seems ok but the other three tiny stands have been built on the cheap if you ask me, or maybe it's the below par squad or the utter negativity surrounding the club which drains your enthusiasm making it now a chore. Spoke to many supporters in the past week or so who share this view with most opinions opting to pick and choose their games this season. It's going to be a long hard season ahead with many fans dropping off if comment's are followed up.

Is anybody in the know if any sign posts are going to be put up directing you to the stadium,its ok for us guys but away supporters could have trouble finding it,especially them coming over the hill on the motorway.

Sorry KMT I'll defend the right for Dantes ( or anyone for that matter ) to air their views on the club whether negative or optimistic . I wouldn't condone direct criticism of other forum members on 'personality' alone , views may not agreed with , but most posters are here because of a love for the team even if doesn't always read that way.
