Is Marwan staying or going ?

I think more there are floating fans who might have come to Salford but watching what I think was the first game of the football season would tempt them into the pub.

Criminal move once again by the club, I recon we'd have got easy another 500 fans there if we'd have played on Saturday. I'll do the maths 500 x £22.50 (Middle of Pre-Matchday and Matchday) £11,250. A lot toward our marketing budget for next year. Sort it out gentleman.

I've only started following Rugby League and Salford this season, attending my first home game against Huddersfield on Sunday - what a brilliant performance! I've read numerous times on this forum as to how the remote location of the stadium has meant the club losing many supporters from the Willows, as well as making it difficult to attract new ones, and I saw this for myself at the weekend. The AJ Bell is clearly not very accessible, with people seemingly having to park quite a long way out and face quite a trek to the ground. I was just wondering, roughly what is the population figure within a mile of the stadium? Given its inaccessibilty, surely it is these people that the club should be targeting as regular supporters?

@dantes Inferno I think part of the appeal of being a Salford supporter is the amount of adversity constantly being faced, and the underdog nature of it all. That's just me though.

Phew, that was a few posts that were sad to read.Even if everything said were true the depth of feeling down and negativity is depressing to say the least. I'm not sure why when you feel that way you wouldn't move on altogether. It can't be good for your health and well being to feel like that. If I felt that way I wouldn't be wasting my time writing about it on here and discouraging others who have just begun their journey with my decline and tales of doom. I have every sympathy for people who can't see the end of the tunnel it's an awful place to be especially when it revolves around one of your core places.

Personally I'll still support MK and want him to stay because I believe he's the way out of a lot of where we found ourselves now.

People have got over the stadium. They've stopped attending because of its location.

Koukash has already reiterated that without a Sugar-daddy the club wouldn't survive under current standings. As a shrewd calibre of business Koukash is in his everyday life, he's obviously failed as the club isn't solvent to stand alone, that's a huge flaw in any business model. And there's only so much money you can throw down a bottomless pit before you realise it's a no-win situation regardless of how much money he has at his disposal. Mk must have thought in the words of Dragons Den. For that reason, Im out.

You're out and don't you glory in telling people about it!

There are probably 4 self financing teams in SL the rest either like us rely on a benefactor or are happy to simply tread water in the hope of better times ahead. Which would I prefer obviously to be self financing but it's pretty obvious that it will take years to come about, we already have the benefactor so that option is taken care of and floundering is something many of us have had a lifetime (and a bellyful) of.

The Doc has come into Salford and for me was given very poor guidance from the get go and been milked by hangers on and I suspect agents overcharging for extremely average players. Without doubt we have turned a corner on the playing front and in Tim Sheens the Doc has found what he really needed a wise well respected man who will tell the Doc as it is rather than paying him lip service.

As I said elsewhere I know it's easy for me as I am investing nothing but a few beers tokens into the club but my hunch is if the Doc stuck it out for a couple of seasons or 3 then we would get to a point where the crowds would reach the required levels, we'd see more and more academy products make the grade and hopefully the infrastructure of the club run in a manner befitting a SL team of substance.
