nope, its to do with Mr Koukash launching his teddies when he and approached and subsequently was refused a ground share with Leigh, the good doctor is unhappy at the amount of money he is throwing at the AJ Bell money pit and believes the stadium is affecting attendances.
I would not be surprised to see the Red Devils on the move in the near future.
Haven't heard that one, possibly because it isn't true. I would have thought Leigh Sports Village Company would have been more than happy with the additional income they would have earnt from Salford playing their home games from the stadium.
It is however well publicised how unhappy Koukash is with the arrangements which the previous Salford ownership agreed to with regards to the lease agreement with the stadium management company. The stadium isn't what is affecting attendances though, the product on the pitch is. We started last season full of optimism against Wakefield with a crowd of 7,200 however a few defeats in the weeks following off Warrington, St Helens and Widnes resulted in a downward spiral of numbers.
The club are more than aware that the only way we'll break the 7,000 plus mark in future is if the team are doing the business on the field.
PS - anyway, back to Moi Moi....
