Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Karlos13"Quote ="SteveRed"Sadly, after 45 years of following Salford home and away, I find myself in virtually the same situation as the friend Red Willow describes above. Due to ill health last season, I missed a fair few games so this season was always going to make me think rationally about what I would do. However, given the new scheme, it was never going to be a good value decision for me to continue. I understand fully that the club wants to try and expand the 'family market' and it makes sense but as Red Willow rightly states, not at the cost of the single supporters it may exclude. As for Holty's assertion that it shouldn't necessarily stop a loyal supporter - paying a few more quid? Well it's stopped me and clearly several others if the amount of times I have been telephoned at home to renew is anything to go by. I don't need a shirt and I won't go to Murrayfield and I have given up on the line that my support will be welcomed in the new iconic stadium by a place of my choosing.
I will still watch and listen, eagerly, to see how the lads are doing though. Hope it's a good season for you all and the club ">grows.'"
What sort of offer from the club would have made you renew?'"
To be truthful, in the worst economic depression in living memory, something not too dissimilar to what I paid last year would have been a little more realistic (wasn't it £136 or something?). As I said, I missed a fair few games through ill health last year and that has had a very big say in my decision this year. The fact the price has gone up considerably (for me) is not a problem for some people. I know many younger lads follow the club and also follow United or even City
 eusa_sick.gif" alt="eusa_sick.gif" title="SICK" /> but with a lifetime paying for Education and Weddings some of us older supporters sometimes have to make decisions based on things more important than sport
icon_surprised.gif" alt="icon_surprised.gif" title="Surprised" /> . It's each to his own I know and RL will always be THE sport and an affordable option but no longer for me. I don't like the incidious principle of the extra charge; many of my mates, who can still afford to watch United, tell me of the rise of such charges. Paying for games you may not even want to see???? Owning a shirt you don't really want? A free ticket to a game you didn't want to watch? Membership of a scheme that is not required???? Where does that all end? None of my opinions are aimed at the club I have always supported - they are more my thoughts on what I don't really like to see happening. As has been said elsewhere, Loyalty is not a one way street. What may be a miniscule thing at The Willows can be seen in all its avaricious glory up the road at Old Trafford. Count me out.

Quote ="nnn"The membership offers no real additional benefits to those available previously! Hence it is of no value. What are these additional benefits pray tell (free shirt, Cup, reserves and Murrayfield reduction were all included last year)??
We well see how successfully this scheme is at the end of the ">year.'"
So because the club have not increased the many benefits from last season you wont get a season ticket! What do you want? Dont find fault if I cant come up with a solution. So tell us what would make you sign up?

For the past couple of decades I have renewed my season ticket immediately.
I simple don't wish to be bullied into joining a membership scheme.
How rude are you! Then again it is now the norm on this forum to insult people you disagree with. Usually, by making some insulting throw away ">comment.'"
Who was bullying you into a membership scheme?
