Come on mate.

Salford are in crisis. Their players are currently not receiving their wages.

I am sure like me you hope they will survive.

Maybe Peel Holdings will rescue them.

The rent they were charging Salford was extortionate and Sale RUFC will be relegated and no residence by Man City reserves will save them ie Pool not taking a big hit on their outlay for their building of the Barton Stadium.

They will imo shell out £700k to save Salford or they will take a £20 million hit.

Bit like poker isn't it ?

In View of the fact that your game against Salford is cancelled can I tempt you to attend the Ian Watson testimonial game on the Saturday if nothing more than to support an ex-player and great servant to the game, plus to get a Rugby League Fix. The match is on the 29th it'll cost you a tenner for adults and two quid for kids.

Have a good Christmas and if theReds go under I hope Leigh are considered as suitable replacements. Whatever happens good luck this coming season.

Potential re arranged game for 13th Jan? Please tell me this is a festive Xmas cracker joke to all our loyal fans ?

I will state here and now that I will not be attending any re arranged game with Salford on the 13th. This is turning in to a complete farce and mugs have handles on them.

If the clubs are not taking it seriously then they surely do not expect the fans to?

Are we being taken for a ride?

How much is admission again? I personally am not made of money especially just after Xmas.

I see why your profile is the picture of a muppet (and a sad one). I travel 90 miles for each home game and I am a long term mid seventies old pensioner. Either support us or watch Leigh East (who need the cash)

How about a game against Leigh east? They could do with some cash even more than us and I'm pretty sure we'd get an even bigger crowd than playing Salford?

This is a great idea.

You are only in your 70's means you are a mere whipper snapper

I already have my season ticket for 2013 for yet another Leigh RL campaign.

I will still be a loyal Leigh RL supporter until I pop it regardless of my attendance at a farce of a friendly game

Well I know you want the money I owe you.

Should be in Leigh on the 29th about 12pm as kick off is 1pm.

Re: Salford Game OFF : Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:13 pm  

Have to agree with Alan, if Salford are cash strapped then surely getting some kind of money in early surely helps that cause - they have to start somewhere even if it means that money goes to pays off debt / creditors.

I suppose if its a case of the players refusing to play until payed etc, etc then thats a different matter and they are stumped .

On the Swinton forum someone has posted a link to an article from Friday stating Luke Patten has lodged another petition against salford. Someone also posted that the players have not been paid.
