1 definite and 1 potential clash with England at the World Cup in 2010.
To try and maximise the attendances, would we be best switching 2 fixtures to a Sunday?
Friday 18 June England v Algeria (7:30pm kick-off)
Friday 18 June Salford v Castleford (8pm)
Sunday 20th World Cup fixtures -
Slovakia v Paraguay (12.30pm)
Italy v New Zealand (3pm)
Brazil v Ivory Coast (7pm)
On Friday 2nd July, Salford are due to play Harlequins at The Willows
If England win Group C and then the 2nd round match, the Quarter Final is on Friday 2nd July at 7.30pm
If England are 2nd in Group C and win the 2nd round match, the Quarter Final is Saturday 3rd July
No World Cup fixtures Sunday 4th July

I saw a bit of Steve Gibson and Blakely at his best.
Now I'm watching Alker lead us on against the rest,

It’s a common sense switch. However, one thing to bear in mind is that Salford’s last three home matches are all on a Sunday afternoon too. Five matches on a Sunday might peeve a fair few season ticket holders.

What about the Salford clashes with Argentina for the non conformists among the Turkey dwellers
As for the first game a change to sunday would be great as I'm in Paris that night finishing off my London 2 Paris bike ride. If it was on the Sunday I'd be able to go to the game

Unfortunately this will have to be agreed with the RFL and also the visiting team.
As the RFL have no common sense they will probably say no and then be very surprised when hardly anyone turns up for for the game.
It is bad enough when a United game clashes

Lets hope that England get knocked out at the earliest oppertunity.
For people like myself the hype is already getting to intollerable levels fukk knows what it will be like by next summer.
And as for fixture clashes i'd rather get stuck in room with no ear plugs with some of you lot than watch a game of faggotball.
Me and are kid (TheButcher) putting the world two rights.

Sorry I forgot
Rule 1 - to be a patriot I have to support a bunch of over-paid brain-dead drop-outs as they wear white and only turn up as they are getting a surgeon's weekly wage per day.
Sorry.

maybe, but it might cheer up some of us who struggle with friday nights in summer and haven't seen any games live for 2 years

And the rest?!
Will still cheer them on though - love RL but football is a close second for me.
Can understand people not liking football (or RU, or any other sports for that matter) but can't understand the need to be so aggressively derogatory about it?!

Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book
