On a serious note *disregarding my flippant humorous remarks referencing the Stevo Racist thread*, yes I believe the location of the ground has a huge bearing on attendances at Salford.
The attendances can't be solely attributed to location though, yes the $hitHouse/Brookhouse estate is almost the farthest flung outpost of Salford & yes the Stadium is practically in Irlam & yes the parking situation is poor, but there also looks to be a failure to engage with the fanbase + the early silliness of Dr MarwanK which he has managed to temper significantly of recent times.
All of this appears to work against the supporters & when the on field product is decent but not World beating, what have Salford fans got to look forward to in travelling to the ground ?
All of this of course is a view from the outside looking in & I am sure some of the knowledgeable Salford fans will be along soon to put me straight but, 1958, it could set a new & unwelcome record in SL.
Something has to happen there soon, hopefully for Salford it doesn't end with the Dr P!$$!NG Off to Dubai with his £££ & horses.
