That's just people I know though, obviously this will change per person but I don't expect a sudden massive following if we make it to either.

I know a lot of Salfordians that would jump on the bandwagon if we went to Wembley and Old Trafford. Salford people that may have been to a few games in their lifetimes would definitely go to support their city. I think it's also important to win at Wembley or Old Trafford too. Huddersfield may have been to a few Challenge Cup finals but they aren't exactly drawing the the crowds at the moment.


You'd think there would be some development on one of these fronts by now if this were to happen, it's obviously something that's been known about since he took over. It's a really troubling statement if true IMO.

I also believe that some went for family/nostalgic reasons. We have had some decent crowds against Wigan in the Challenge Cup over the years but this was always helped with a big away following.

I just don't think we have turned the tide yet as a team. We need more consistentency over a longer period with a few big scalps. Local people have an opinion Salford aren't a winning/entertaining team and it's going to take time and several big results to change that.

I don't think we'll average 10,000 over the course of any season in the next 10 years but I'd love to be proved wrong. Truth be told, I'll be happy if we still have a club in 10 years!
