A few weeks away yet, but this could be the biggest attendance Victory Park have had for many a year with it being a title cruncher. Come on Chester beat those Leigh stealing body-snatchers.

Prestwich is getting a few Salford shirts about now, my mates long term Salford fan so pleased for him, some of the stories he's told me about the new Salford fans who you see giving it the bigun on Twitter are bizarre.

Aye, they’ll be some who remember shitty Moor Lane, and fat lads in garish orange, and fair play to those whose dreams are being realised... they’ll still be there if it goes to shit; I also understand that for some, this has already happened 

I know a few who are going down to watch them and 95% are Man Utd fans with City staying well away in the main because of the class of 92 connection. Still feels a bit of a protest club at the moment in the same way FC United was (they were relegated this season i think). One thing they do have is lots of cash so it won't go soft n smelly anytime soon as this is vanity project for those high profile figures. 

There is chatter about them buying the AJB stadium if they get into the EFL as Moor Lane is only fit upto League 1. Anyway i'll be watching Salford Reds v Hull KR next saturday at 2pm

A few go down to watch prestwich heys saying they don't enjoy it anymore. I walked down to a pre season game last year and noticed a lot of united gear around. My mate was furious when they changed the kit. Said they'd lost their identity. Think he was right to be honest, like someone else just said you alienate half your potential customers.

In some ways I hold a bit more respect for FCUM than Salford, at least they’re clear about their DMB leanings and have been from the start rather than Salford unashamedly whoring themselves out.

I'm very fair and even handed on this one.

I hate both sets of cunts.

No interest in either, though I'm curious as to the motives of the former utd players.

Salford City promoted

A dark day for football. And even more so when we play them in a competitive game next season.

Ammies V Bolton,  something so wrong.

I'm worried there's a chance of them being higher then us in a years time. Piss poor attendance from them. Stockton town took more then double to Wembley when they got there for the vase.

Biggest club in bury mbc

hahahahaha

for those who want a footy fix, mon 1sy july Atherton colls play there 1st pre season against Salford city. 2 newly promoted sides should be a decent run out for both teams  kick off is 7-45pm. £5 adults £3 concessions.

A great turnout of well over 1000 last night with half [at least] from Salford, the visitors won 1-0 in what was a good test for the Colls lads.

 

What a great attendance - good reward for all you guys' hard work.

Might be tempted next Tuesday against Chorley.

a superb crowd on that, well done to all those behind the scenes who are putting a lot of hard work in to raise the profile of the club. both chorley and alty at home to come could well be bumper crowds.

Went to the Chorley game pal, & enjoyed a lovely evening.

It's a great set-up with really friendly guys volunteering. Good to contribute with entrance, programmes, pies, raffle tickets & beer.

Managed to put a name to Athy White who turned out to have big love-in with my mate. 😘

They played for Laburnum together about 40+ years ago so good memories for them both.

Also managed to get the future father in law pissed & we had to stop on the motorway back to Preston so that he didn't wet his pants!

Nice little mid week outing...
