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.

Simplez, £20 is too much. I dropped out of watching rugby league more than 3 or 4 times a season when prices went above about £14.

Quote DogPie="DogPie"The overall intention of Forever Reds is a good one. The intentions when it was formed were solely to help the club and there are still people involved with that intention. However, if people can't see that some use it to get themselves noticed, and help themselves raise their own profile within the club then they can't see the wood for the trees. Unfortunately, FR is nothing like it used to be and never will be. It also doesn't have to be. It needs a fresh approach and somebody with balls who isn't afraid to do the job of a supporters association and be there for the supporters. It needs somebody who doesn't pussyfoot around the club and the chairman and start speaking truthfully about where the issues are in raising the profile of the club. The hard part is that many at the club won't listen. It needs somebody with a spine. Someone who isn't scared of ruining their own reputation with the people at the club in order to say how it ">is.'"
I think FR and the people who run It,have done a good job,how would your supporters association work,would It also
be a voice of criticism If that was needed.

What an interesting article by Luke Patten - a non too veiled criticism of Matt Parrish, clearly there was much more going on behind the scenes that we fans were not aware of.
FWIW I prefer Friday nights as that then leaves the rest of the weekend free, but I do understand the points made by others, Sundays would be better for many families and many travelling supporters

...but accepts he doesn't know the ins & outs of how viable it is.
We'd all like to see a surge in crowds replace the need for corporate cash (or better still, add to it) but there's little evidence to suggest the switch alone will make a jot of difference to our crowds.
The switch, coupled with an improved matchday programme of events like those banded on here and Facebook (car park BBQ, funfair etc) strikes me as the way forward but it would be a costly gamble which we can ill afford to lose.

Quote Iain="Iain"
And for those asking, the next meeting is going to be a Monday towards the end of March - awaiting confirmation on the venue. The plan is to hold 7 fans meetings this year and we're looking at the possibility of moving around different venues around the ">city.'"
When you say City, I assume you mean Salford rather than Manchester? In which case, may I suggest a few venues?
Lamb Hotel (Eccles) 400 yards from my new flat!
The Hope - Everyone knows where it is! Handy for most Salford residents to get to (10 min walk from my flat!)
The Grey Mare - Handy for the Weaste/Langworthy mob. (& one stop on the tram for me!)
St Michael's/Grapes/Unicorn - Our new catchment area (& on the 67 bus route for me!)
Red Lion/Wellington - Covers the Height & Salford Precinct. (Did I mention it's a 10 min walk from my sister's?
 icon_biggrin.gif" alt="icon_biggrin.gif" title="Very Happy" />)
The Cock (Worsley) - Covers Worsley/Walkden/LH. Couple of nice barmaids last time I went in as well!
Irlam - Any of the social clubs on the main road would make sense.
May also be worth trying to tap into the Sale/Urmston/Partington/Stretford area as well so somewhere like The Wetherspoons in Sale might be an option?
