I had a rather interesting conversation with a passenger I picked up from Media City earlier that very much backs up something that has been something of cause célèbre with me for a while.
The lady I picked up was a free lance marketing agent who works with the BBC when needed and I asked if a large local professional sports team approached the local college/university asking if they had any students studying marketing who might be interested in coming to the club and helping market the club and she said immediately 100% yes.
She then told me she also does work for Nottingham Trent University who have just done this the opposite way and gone looking for local rugby, football and other sports teams to see if they might offer opportunities for students.
She said if the club found a uni close by that had a sports marketing course that they would fight to get on board with Salford.
The club could offer a token wage with incentives for new bums on seats or sponsors obtained and as I've said before it would look good for any future CV to have a successful stint with a professional sports club increasing their profile.
