If salford had any sort of success we'd be ten times the bigger club than both wakey and cas and widnes, were a city with a capacity of 260000 people and have a city boardering us of 350000 people we only need to tap into 3% of either citys population and we'd be clearing the 10000 mark, lets see what happens now were spending the full cap instead of 40% we spent in the all of our 13 seasons of super league , success brings in the crowds and salford's board havn't bought a team attractive enough in recent years to bring in a decent crowd, lets see how the next few years pan out ay, and anyway even when widnes were kings in the 80s you only maxed 8 or 9000 even as world champions you were definately a big team but never a big club, simple reason is widnes is only a small town also being next to 2 other big clubs saints and wire, salford have a blank canvas to work from with new money and new stadium our future looks bright!
you also have the worlds biggest football club in salford, when are you going to face reality? football will always dominte the sporting scene in your area, and when salford were successful in the early 70's you didn't get really significant crowds...........
