Because you get them after work, still in work mode, wanting to end the week with a few sherbets. Sundays are for time with their families, not anything work-related.

This project was given funding in November through the Regional Growth Fund - subject to due diligence - so may be happening sooner rather than later.



Then all we need is Metrolink, but I won't be holding my breath.

Parking at NFL games is around $20 /£14 so you get what you pay for and to be fair getting away from the car parks is no easier than any other mass attended event. Saying that some stadia get certain roads blocked/restricted at the end of games so access onto the main roads is quicker/safer.

As pointed out access & egress from the car par is shocking and the costs involved to fix it could well be out of reach. Given some fans with families don't want to walk their kids 10/15/20 minutes to a game this may well be putting some off from coming at all no matter what time or day of the week it is.

Think more than anything what is needed are lights on the roundabout as currently you can be sat for an age waiting to get onto it from the Eccles side of the A57 due to the vehicles coming off the motorway.

Where did you get that map from about Port Salford?

Fridays are definately the problem with the low crowds. I work in Wigan until 5, if I didn't have an understanding boss who lets me work through my dinner hours 2days a week so i can finish an hour early on fridays I'd never be able to make the match. I have to pick my son up from nursery, drive home get my little boys tea ready bath him, get ready myself, then drive and pick up other family members who are going to the game, then drive down to the stadium allowing for traffic get there and get parked up and go into the stadium before kick off is a mad rush! If I didn't love Salford as much as I do I wouldn't waste my time going, like a lot of those fans who sit on the fence. The biggest attendence at the willows in the super league era was 10000 all home fans, what day was that game played on? It definately wasn't a friday night! The club have messed up big time opting for Fridays over Sunday, it just near enough impossible for family's to go and watch, another thing how many little children do we see at the coss? Not many at all as their all tucked up in bed before kick off! Rant over.

I think the location of the new ground lends itself more to Sundays than Fridays. Places such as Swinton, Clifton, Worsley, Walkden, LH are pretty much cut off from the new stadium public transport wise on a Friday night.

wow the video further down that page is amazing!

You should be on the stage you are hilarious!



Prior to Friday we had one good win against the newly promoted team that are struggling to find their feet in Superleague. It was the last match at the Willows against Catalan and the debacle against Leigh that will have switched certain people off.



It will take a few more good results like Friday to get those casuals interested enough to come and pay their money.



Feel free to criticise but the reality is not enough people in Salford want to pay money to watch rugby league. In the 1970's when we had a star studded team and won two championships we only averaged gates of about 5,000.



Personally I'm surprised Salford get anybody there at all considering all the damage certain 'so-called' fans do by continually 'getting off' by publicly knocking everything the club do or don't do.



Keep pressing that self destruct button whingers and you may then find that you have something much worse to whine about.
