I presume that our Management duo, possibly along with our captain, will be in attendance to run the rule over two future opponents? That'll give them a significant increase on the home attendance.

oafc1955 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Class of 92 are just pissing money away at Salford. Would love to see their business model/plan as the financial account must make for pretty grim reading!! They have absolutely no chance of getting a reasonably self sufficient club even in EFL2 never mind EFL 1 and above! The on field progress they have made in the last few years is staggering and are yet again on the fringe of the playoffs but could only muster less than 1300 home fans. What a complete waste of time, effort and money!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Gary Neville seems like a quite astute businessman to me, it makes me think that the losses are not being carried by him, isn't a billionaire also a joint owner.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same applies to Stevenage - although let's hope we don't have the opportunity to repeat that feat next season (in a good way!). There is a fair chance I'd have thought that Port Vale will beat their number this Saturday as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more evidence of the complete waste of potential via mismanagement Whilst you’re right of course and there’s an element in there of Latics bringing a lot of fans to each game, there are also reasons why the home gates were up for those games: - Bradford - first home game of the season (and since COVID?) - Scunthorpe and Stevenage - biggest games of the season for both (and for us) - Salford - some weird attempted rivalry and local - Rochdale - local derby Either that or they all came to see Mo’s charges. But yes, we clearly have the potential for numbers wherever we play if we’ve got something to get behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperKeeper Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Latics and Stevenage both at 5/4 to go down. Barrow are 4/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think him and the class of 92 own something like 10% each and they have I believe Peter Lim a Singapore billionaire is it who owns the rest? They have said they aren't looking for a financial return on it so that 91k a week circa £4.5million loss for the year was probably expected. Interms of them making Salford a success will probably depend on how long their time horizon is if its in decades rather than years then the chances are they will build a steady league level club with a decentish support over that time.

Bobledgersheart Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Can't see where their support will come from. Salford in the Super League will be serious competition and not many supporters entertain both sports. Chances of them getting an average of around 5,000 home supporters seems remote, even in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
