Would any of you watch RL if SRD no longer existed? I don't think I would. I already have no interest in other UK based RL.
Can happily watch every minute of the NRL though.

Concluded that,with a heavy heart,we’d still follow the game and choose a new club. That was where the interesting bit began and,no,I’m not saying ! Clearly it couldn’t have been the same feeling as following your birthplace team

I'd still watch RL, both Super League and NRL, as I'm a fan of the sport as a whole as well as the Red Devils. In the NRL, I'm a St George fan (another struggling team!) and I have always had a soft spot for another SL team but I'm not going to say who.
I would hope that the RFL use that £16M as an emergency fund for any club, SL or Championship, that is facing imminent bankruptcy rather than just bailing out the big boys and paying their own wages.

I’d still watch but it wouldn’t be the same obviously. I don’t think I’d pick another team and I’d just go to random games. If I had to I’d follow a small team like us.

There's no doubt that losing SRD is a difficult one, I love watching the game but if the Red Devils were gone and never to return the heart would be gone out of it for me.

I have been watching this club too long to change my affiliation to any other club, the memories, the fans, the players ,the Willows even the AJ Bell have given myself and my family lots of enjoyment over many years. I would watch Rugby League in any form but couldn’t myself round to support any other club in the way that I have supported Salford, Salford City Reds and Salford Red Devil’s.

I think I’d have to move to the south of France or northern Spain. If I have to watch another team there’d have to be some compensation. When I was younger I considered becoming an international playboy but it meant missing too many salford games so I decided against it in the end
I think I’d watch more amateur rugby if there was no SRD to watch. I can’t imagine following another pro UK based team but love RL too much not to watch it. Maybe if there was a new SL franchise team in the area I’d give them a go

Good advice Carca v Lezignan or Toulouse V Fev could be a lot worse!

I saw that name when this link was posted in a previous thread (or one of my brief forays in to the intellectual desert that is now RLFans), as a Czech team I could follow them just to attend home games and get my fix of Bernard beers www.facebook.com/rugby.league.vrchlabi/
