One thing that's galling from a Salford fan's point of view is that we were told circa 20 years ago to move our of The Willows and get a new ground or be booted out of SL (as I believe were the likes of Cas & Wakey). To have to leave your spiritual home in the heart of the community to a ground 3 1/2 / 4 miles away is bad enough but we ended up in a spot that had nothing around it for pre/post match drinks (part of the match day experience for a lot of fans). Add in the last 5/6 years of traffic issues which have now gladly eased with the link road and it's taken a long time for fans to call the AJ Bell our home (it will still never replace The Willows) When you then also factor in that the club gets NO REVENUE at all from match day food/drink sales and you should be able to understand why we feel we've been shafted royally by the RFL/SL.
Nothing against Wakey & Cas at all but they've managed to dodge the bullet which was pointing right at our temple and it still rankles as our move to the AJ Bell almost saw us almost go under before Koukash came in and saved us from oblivion.

It's this I don't get, how the hell have we dodged a bullet FFS. I'm truly gutted for you as you sit in your brand new stadium I really am, as we bullet dodgers sit shivering in our slums waiting to be kicked out if something doesn't happen soon. Seriously do you think that where we are now, which is more or less nowhere is where we wanted to be, by what logic do you come to that conclusion?
Let's get this straight, we have a huge mortgage on BV and as yet we do not have a penny to do it up. If we dodged a bullet then the bayonet didn't miss did it.
Yes I understand the trauma of leaving the Willows, I do, but at the end of the day, you are safe in that you are the masters of your own destiny. Both Trinity and Cas remain on a knife-edge. You want that then you're welcome mate.
