Yep, I was there a few weeks ago. £10

The ground makes Glanford Park look like the Ricoh

I’m guessing that given Salford have a core support of around 7, they rely heavily on part time fans. Given that Tuesday is a Champions League night, £10 is an attempt to get those floating fans in.

Probably helps when you're being bankrolled by a Singaporean billionaire. If you're trying to buy success as a vanity piece, you want somebody there to see it! Loose change to Lim. He won't even notice the losses that the club rack up.

Just looked on The Football League Grounds guide and it does say that admission is £10.

They must really be being bankrolled if they can survive charging that much for a seat.

I understand we think that £10 is low, but wouldn't it be good if that was the general price of a seat in division 2, I would guess crowds at every club would be higher then they are now. Just think if the premiership could just chuck each division 2 club £200 grand then it could be possible.

A degree of bother after the recent Orient match. Traffic cones thrown as rival fans squared up.  Our SLO may want to check what additional arrangements have been made to ensure fan safety.

I wonder what the biggest away attendance has been at that ground so far?

Season tickets £100 - totally unsustainable. One rule for Salford, another rule for others.

It would be more like a million to make up the difference for us. Sure, it would be great, but if we were given more handouts then it would only end up being spent on players getting higher wages because everybody would have the same extra money to compete.
