something seriously needs to be done to try and ummmpphh our crowds for next year!!
Wakey pulled in nearly 8000 against Celtic of all teams today by having that dance group of britains got talent there as entertainment.
Cant we get that ugly kid back off pop idol who used to sing at games

I don't think we could attact a crowd of 8,000 down at the Willows even if we had 'TAKE THAT' out on the paddock....


But joking apart 'wardleyred' your spot on we need to get more bums on seats at our games...Now how the club are going to do this is anybody's guess...

we didn't do too bad last season.
this season has been shocking.

SO WHAT'S DIFFERENT THIS SEASON "martin13"

well, we're in superleague this season, for starters.

Yes and with being in Super League I was expecting decent attendances from away fans, but sadly away fans have not been turning up for one reason or another this season.

In my opinion we've had it playing at the Willows and hopefully when we do move to Barton one day we will attract a lot of new fans and of course all of our stay away fans hopefully will return.

No Trish?

Trish cud possibly be why!She did seem to do a good job last season,why don't we do what hudds did last season and announce that at the leeds game the club will be making a record historic announcement!!!that shud get a few people in extra!!then they can just say sumwat like"trevor will be performing at every home game next season

Clearly "The Willows Factor" does affect a lot of away fans - the stories (true or not!) about car vandals and local scrotes does put a lot of visitors off - so a move to Barton should definitely improve on that.

However - I do wonder about your statement "...we will attract a lot of new fans..." - is there really an untapped pool of folk willing to pay out good money to watch RL? Certainly if we start to put in better performances and challenge for the play offs, challenge cup etc then the "stay-away fans" may well come back, but I think the existence of the new audience is a bit of a myth unless the RFL (not just Salford) does something extraodinary & innovative.

All clubs need (not just Salford), I think, to be getting their average attendances up towards the 10,000 mark to be able to sustain a viable business model - how to do that without bringing in the hooligan tendancy (as in football) will be a massive challenge.

One interesting fact - Manchester Storm hold the record for the largest ice hockey attendance at a UK league game, set on February 23 1997, when 17,245 people watched a match against Sheffield Steelers. Now there's a challenge - Match That !!!

Head Hunt the guy who did that
