Except for the one that was read out on Boots 'n' All earlier?

Salford to stay in as the RFL won't want to lose a clubs so close to Manchester. Wakefield & Castleford to drop out.
From 2012 there will be 16 clubs in SL so with 2 dropping out you will be in plus Widnes, Leigh & Toulouse.

I would say one of Wakefield or Castleford, Leigh too close to wigan to be in so Widnes and Toulouse to be in Sky already bigging up Toulouse. But I still think Sky want Spanish and italian teams in to mirror Yawnian so this could limit the number of Franchises, then again Sky might pull out and save money by showing second hand sport from overseas.

Why would Sky pull out of RL? They make a profit out of us, which they spunk up the wall on sh*t like union.

Dave Tarry says on the Sky Sports website that he is confident the stadium will still happen!

And the Moon is made of green cheese, Fairies do exist, the Loch Ness monster was sighted in the Ship Canal etc etc etc.

No it's not, it's a load of bitter sh*te.

We didn't lie to anyone. No one knew that this recession was going to kick in so hard, nor did anyone think that so many unforseen problems would hit the project. Hardly the club's fault, is it? Hardly telling people lies in order to get a stadium, is it?

So, whether you're a Salford fan, Widnes fan or some other numpty from another club, stop whinging, stop whining, stop f*cking squawking and wait it out. Until the club turn around and say the ground isn't getting built then, as far as we should all be concerned, it will get built. The fact that the project is still alive in the current climate shows that the club are doing everything possible to get it up and running.

Of course, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But will that be the fault of the club? Of Wilkinson? Of the other directors? No, will it buggery. But no doubt all the moaning, miserable sods on here will blame them all rather than looking at the real picture.

Now, can we lock this thread? And lock and other threads that start about the stadium? Until, of course, there's something concrete to discuss. Because, until then, I don't see why we have to put up with the usual dummy spitting and complete b*llocks coming from all corners.

This should be a time for siege mentalitly, not belittling people with things that have no foundation (no pun intended...)

Mancunians RL? What have they got to do with the new stadium?

It was Manchester Council who put the big spanner in the works when they objected because we wouldn't move to a third rate ground known as Maine Road.
Also its Manchester Council who employ Yawnian caoches and encourage that sport and not the proper rugby played in the City of Salford.

Top post fella, nice one

I agree.
I never realised quite how negative people from my beloved home can be at times. Many would argue that they are 'realists.' I'd say we need to invent a new word for them. 'people-who-are-only-too-happy-to-whinge-and-moan-about-things-they-can't-influencists.' It's a terrible condition.

Erm...sorry, help me out here, in my hand book I'm really struggling to find the franchise points awarded for "proximity to Manchester"???

Why on Earth would the RFL drop Wakey and Cas, who are considerably more successful on the pitch than Salford and who currently sit 1&2 in the under 18's league????

You need to do better than "Salford - we're near Manchester!".

problem is the Super league is officially the European Super League and who in Europe have heard of Wakefield or Castleford?

And it wasn't us it was Chelsea

Or indeed Salford???

You should change your name to "Drowning Man", as in "will clutch at straws".

Bigpev - 2/10, must do better.

Of course your innocent

the problem is most people see Salford as Manchester just look at the companies who have addresses in Salford but stick Manchester as the address including the Lowry so we could be the Manchester club.

Both Bradford and Hull KR have had a lot of work done over the last few years and luckily, speaking as a Bradford fan here, we were given a Catagory B licence. This may change this year but it does give us time to put into action the plans for a new and improved Odsal. The same can be said for Hull KR.

Its sad to hear Clubs like Salford are getting this kind of attention, I love coming to the Willows, but there are things that could and should be improved in the near future and the Club are well aware of this. The problem is the credit crunch and finances are tight and like Bradford attendances are falling meaning less money for the Clubs involved.


It's not a good situation but fact I'm afraid.

Ok, so it's not "Salford - keep us in SL cos we're near Manchester", it's "Salford - keep us in SL as we're easily mistaken for Manchester"!

Out of the "warned" clubs you are by far the weakest.

Maybe but geographically we are based in area for RFL expansion unlike Wakey/Cas fighting for the same supporter. Yorkshire certainly is ripe for a reduction in number of SL teams.
