Is the number of ticket sales generated for Sunday. Are we an embarrassment of a professional sports club? What is going wrong? After the preseason build up and the following we took to Warrington, was a real buzz around Salford, everyone wanted a ticket for Wire. Has the Saint Helens result done more damage that is imaginable? Honestly dumbfounded at those ticket sales. What is so wrong?

I'm afraid to say we've not got a big fan base! Simple as that.
Maybe more wins might bring a few more in but it's a football area plain and simple!

I still believe there is a buzz at the club, especially after the last 2 games.

i don't know what else we can do, we are streets ahead of Cas and Huddersfield after watching last nights games.

i personally have a great feeling about the next few games.

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would imagine the reasons are; defeat at Warrington despite great support, hammering off Saints in front of the TV cameras (cries of same old Salford), the bad press following Gareth Hocks ban and subsequent release from the club, the bad press following the clubs acceptance for Scotland RU to discuss terms with Kevin Locke and then this week a further story about some dancing. All I ever seem to be asked is, what's going on at Salford?

You just don’t hear about any of this stuff coming from other clubs. It’s been a very disruptive start and even following the internet hit of Rangi’s try and the great result last weekend we still managed to churn out a negative story.

I know it’s also mothers day, but will this shut the “bring back Sunday afternoon games” brigade up?

Hopefully be a few walk-ups on the day. Not everyone pre-orders.

Saying that, it's pretty much the same old story for the locals. I know everyone says the same old mantra of 'When we string a good run together they'll come back.' Myself included. The trouble is, I'm not sure I actually believe it anymore. Short of being top of the league and winning every game, I just don't think this hope of returnees is actually going to happen. One sniff of a poor game and they stay at home.

The only thing we can do is be stronger at home. It's the only way we can get some of the fickler fans to trickle back.

I'm beginning to think that the City of Salford don't really deserve the Club. They simply don't give a toss, which is a shame for the die-hard and passionate Salford born supporters. I just hope MK doesn't see it the way I do at the moment.

Interestingly, I saw Marwan tweet a reply to someone the other day that included something along the lines of "I won't be here forever". The comment's since been deleted though and I can't remember the rest of it to put it into context.

This.

Maybe the club should go on the road in 2016.

I’d imagine pre sales for home tickets are pretty similar for most games just it has never been disclosed before. Most non season ticket holders will pick their tickets up on the day of the game, the number of pre sales doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. The attendance will be no higher than 3.2k, no matter what the Sunday brigade say. Going off the Friday/Sunday poll on twitter and the way people go on about Sunday rugby on here we should be getting 6k easy to every home Sunday home game. Friday or Sunday it makes no difference whatsoever, that my friends is fact. If anything I’d imagine we get less corporates on Sunday!!

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr

This isn't true, several times last season Vickers mentioned decent pre-match ticket sales.

Found the Doc's not-deleted tweet:
