To a near empty house?

I think Iain has probably hit the nail on the head in his earlier post as to the real reason??

tickets were £20 or available at half price if you renewed your season ticket






On the 8th day, God created Rugby League
On the 9th day, Satan created Salford.
A battle ensued through to to late on the 12th day.
A few hours later, a truce, and on the final stroke of midnight, Code 13 was created...
Heaven and Hell combined forces and delivered Salford Red Devils...a legacy is born!!!!!

and how about remembering Harris managed to get SRD away from relegation and within less time than Noble had here.


When did this happen? As we were 8th when Harris took over, and now sit in 12th. The way people go on sometimes you would think Harris had bought Hemel Stags into the top flight.

Despite this, I would agree that in general we have seen improvements under Harris. However I would suggest Wakefield have seen a bigger scale of improvement since Webster took over, without having the luxury of bringing in the likes of Locke and Caton Brown.

87 points conceded in the last 2 away games of the season will hopefully be out of the system by the time next season comes round.

Out of interest, has anyone got tickets or know anyone with tickets? I don't know of anyone (who was intending on) going.

It was a disappointing result but the reaction from the Doc is bordering on childish.

The comments about days off etc would be better served being voiced in private to Iestyn Harris as opposed to publically undermining him.

As for comments about lack of ticket sales, 200 in hospitality and an additional 150 non diners who I assume have bought tickets specifically for the event.

By normal match day standards that's above average, especially as none of them will be from London.

A month of planning, nine guests in hospitality and its cancelled on a whim, its fair to say I'm a tad unimpressed as is the business I represent.






Salford is a Broadway musical
You might not believe me but Salford IS a Broadway musical
The set is low budget
The cast didn't go to RADA
The audience don't clap politely like sea lions begging for fish
They're Rocky Horror rowdy
And the worst reviews come from those who haven't even seen the show.

Public criticism of players in public media strikes me as being highly unprofessional. We were all disappointed by such a heavy loss, but to place the cause purely on the players on the field is misguided.

The "team" particularly with such an outspoken, emotional Chairman, starts with that Chairman. It includes the CEO, the Head Coach, his assistants, conditioners and then the players. To exclude those influential people above the players and lay the blame solely on them is equally misguided and, frankly, naive.

Each of those parties bears a responsibility and until each of them can see where they contributed to that failure, we will not make progress.

Many years ago, we had a bronze sign in the business in which I worked. It said "The floggings will continue until morale improves."

From where I'm sat, that seems to be the SRD motto.

At some point in time, one or more of the players will, I am sure, echo that view, but at this moment, won't express it, publicly or in-house, for fear of their own livelihood.

While I have the greatest admiration for the Chairman and his contribution to both the club and the game, the club seems to be run as an autocracy, which may have worked in MK's business, but can't possibly work in a sports environment.

I have a great deal of respect for the Doc for what he has done for Salford and wants to do for the game as a whole. But that said saw him on Rugby AM last night and while he spoke a lot of sense his idea of having an ex player run the RFL is one of the problems RL (and to a degree sport in this country) has, it will always be a jobs for the boys type scenario when this happens.

Bring in someone to run the RFL as a business, I bet a proper chief exec wouldn't have missed the golden opportunity the world cup of 2013 afforded the game rather than letting it slip quietly out of the general public's mind set.

We have a wonderful sport that basically passes the vast majority of the UK public by.

We had purchased three tickets,went the to the stadium and got my refund yesterday.

We have also renewed our season tickets for 2015.

According to another poster there were 250 hospitality and 100 non dining tickets sold and if
that was the case there would have been good atmosphere and in line with the event when it was free.

I know several regular supporters who are not on social media who are really cheesed off with the announcements being made as they are.
