When Wire were at Wilderspool who would have predicted that they would be getting regular 12k crowds? I certainly wouldn't. I can see Salford getting big crowds in a nice stadium in a nicer location with a decent team. Maintaining it year on year is the trickier bit.

Agreed, Warrington used to average around 6k. Then they got a stadium and a decent coach.



Exactly like Salford.

Warrington with loads of decent junior clubs producing players in a town dominated by RL with no soccer club



Salford where nobody plays the sport, don't produce juniors and have Man U on the doorstep



No comparison - but wish them well in the move.

Doesn't Warrington sound like Leigh above!!! If only we could find a Simon Moran!

Direct comparisons between Hull FC/Warrington cannot be made with Leigh & Salford.



I wish Salford all the best, but 8,000 will be mightily difficult to achieve and maintain.

My ex Boss, who used to wear a wig, and is a Charlton Athletic fan - even went !!

Salford's biggest ever star, Mike Sweeney of the Salford Jets, performed at the game so it's no wonder 10,000+ turned up.

indeed, "who you looking at" - bet he did that for an encore !!

The Watcher thought he was walking around the town looking at the squares
