Well for my part this has worked, will be bringing one adult and two kids, the kids both want the junior supporters pack so there is £50 spent and a good chance of more.



The club could do worse than getting into large local businesses and just printing large open invite posters, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Could be a real winner. Hopefully a nice sunny day with the attraction for people of watching the air show plus a free ticket to the rugby. The Barton Air Show & Rugby Extravaganza!!

But no Lancaster due to an engine fire a few weeks ago

Would be cool if the fly by flew over the ground, get the Para's down and tie in the Red Devils link, advertise meet the Paratroop Regiment and find some activities for kids and see if some going to the airshow come along and tempt them to the game.



Little ideas like this for the club shouldn't cost the earth and can only help try and draw fans in.

You stalking me trs? Or are you agreeing with me for once?

Please elaborate. What topics have we actually disagreed about?

Glad to hear trs

Im not a Salford fan but as an outsider looking in this looks like a 'last throw of the dice' by Koukash to me. It looks to me as if he's trying to remove as many barriers as possible to fans to see exactly how many can attend without there being any excuses available ie. ticket prices. With Catalans probably bringing no fans it seems to me to be an attempt to gauge exactly how many people are honestly interested in Rugby League in Salford. Potentially, if you dont break the 8k mark, my fear is he will know that no matter what he does he will never get massive crowds and will use this as an excuse to walk away in the future.

I think you also have to take into consideration the fact the team are currently next to the bottom of SL and under performing again, due mainly to many injuries and suspensions. As I've said before admission prices are secondary and it's the product that sells. Just because it's free I still wouldn't expect it to attact thousands more people. Generally if something is free people naturally perceive it as worthless.

I agree to a certain extent with both the last two posts. But on that basis would you say that the only way to get a true reflection of potential attendances would be to wait until you are in the top four and then make it free admission.

That's right but,let's be honest,there's always a reason.

Sky,weather,M62,stadium,injuries,suspensions,air show,soccer,holidays,shift work,date changes.

Have I missed any?

I don't think there will be a massive crowd,and MK will have confirmation of whatever conclusion he's already drawn.

True but the only one thing you failed to mention is the most important one, a regular winning team of which we haven't had in decades. It's all well and good signing lots of big time charlies but unless the team are delivering results on the field it's won't be effective and increase attendances. Let's be honest how many times over the past 35 years has this club been placed in the top 4? Twice for a couple of weeks over many, many years. Supporters were that shocked we were in 4th place on Easter Monday they were taking pictures of the league table on their mobile phones.

How many times has the club made the play-offs since the new SL format was launched 20 years ago? Once and then we got hammered in the first match at Bradford. When was the last time the club went to Wembley? 1969 and every other club in SL has been once, at least 10 years after us. I'd actually take a guess that this club has lost the most Superleague games than any other club since it's launch.







I'm not deluded in thinking this club could attract 10,000-12,000 every home game but I'm sure with a regular winning team over a few years (And a little success) we could at the least attract 7,000-7,500 in this catchment area. Let's be realistic before this club starts to see a lot more through the turnstiles the team has to do there job to shake off the losers tag we have had for years.
