Visiting the DW stadium : Tue Feb 16, 2016 11:40 pm  

Hi you guys. Salford fan here. Living in Gran Canaria and visiting the DW Stadium a week on Friday to see my team give your team one heck of a hiding! Then again, maybe not. Anyway, does anyone know if I can buy a ticket on the night from the stadium, or do I have to buy one in advance? Hoping for a great game. Good luck to you guys against Brisbane. Thanks

If you want to sit with the Salford fans behind the goals (North Stand) you'll be able to pay on the gate, along the sidelines you'll have to go to the ticket office.
No need to buy in advance.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Was told this morning that Wigan have asked Salford to reverse this fixture and also asked Leigh about hosting this game. Both have refused so it will almost certainly be played at the DW at this late stage but there has been some resistance to this game being played at home, no idea why though.

Maybe its the fannyballers complaining about the state of the pitch?

Not that I am questioning your information, but I would very much doubt that we would look to move it to Leigh, as their ground wouldn't even hold our season ticket holders.

Don't know if it will happen but according to LoveRugbyLeague website Tics have kicked up a fuss over us damaging the pitch so want the Salford game moved away from DW so we don't impact on their promotion push vs Bury

I believe that Wigan have asked fro the game to be played on Sunday but Salford don't want to switch the date as they are due to play a televised game the following Thursday.

Don't blame them.

Moving a cup or playoff game to another ground is one thing but moving a league game for which 9-10,000 people have already paid for is another thing all together.

I don't understand how we're in a position where we're seemingly being forced to move the date or venue due to the wishes of the football club. Isn't their game on the Saturday?

FFS, 'Tics have got a nerve!
It's been demonstrated time & time again that it's not playing SL that screws up the pitch!
Anyhow, they're used to playing on a cabbage patch, so that should be an advantage.
