BUT DO THE POWERS THAT BE AT OLD TRAFFORD WANT TO DO YOUR SUGGESTIONS, I DOUBT IT VERY MUCH, THEY ARE SELF, SELF, SELF & DONT GIVE A STUFF ABOUT SALFORD OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.

Oh dear oh dear!! Someone needs to look at the facts.

Not once in those 23 years did City have a higher attendance than Nited and only 3 times was Nited's average under 40K...not quite the 27K quoted though we have had a few crowds of round about that figure - Wimbledon at home on a Monday night was definitely a 27Kish crowd if I remember rightly.

Apologies for the pedantry, I'm slightly bored in work!!

Agreed , didn't stop us getting decent attendances in the 70's when Utd had Best, Law & Charlton , Indeed Myth has it they would even turn up to watch the odd game.

If the product is the right mixture of flair , spirit and determination everything else becomes easier. I can't remember worrying about the ' completion rate ' with Watkins Fielding, Dixon & Coulman on the pitch.

The club has to start their 2010 marketing campaign NOW , and make some bold headline grabbing descisions.
Some premiership Football clubs are doing £150 season ticket offers now, it's a reccession and people are making hard decisions. I get the impression that everything seems ' on hold ' pending pronouncements on our new stadium.

Still not bad for a team not to win anything for a few years. Until this year . You need to stop googling Odsal red and get on with your work

I personaly dont think we use the salford advertisor to the full. First thing I do when I get the advertisor is pick up all the crap that falls out advertising certain products. why cant we stick a big flyer in there advertising the following game with any promotions, and possible do the same with the MEN as that hits a wider range than the other paper mentioned

A few years??? 33 (and counting ) is classed as a few is it???...blimey!!

And as for the getting on with my work - fair point!!

And its ORDSALL Red, not Odsal Red...I'm from Salford not Bradford

Why do City Fans allways Lie

note that when United were in a lower division we got on average 15500 more per game

74-75 - 48,389 City - 32,898
