Well what an exciting 1st few weeks of the season to be a Salford fan. The good Dr and his carefully chosen management team have been busy making headlines in both the regional and national press which is great.
We have been linked with serious offers for likes of Sam Tomkins,; Rangi Chase, Adrian Morley and Luke O'dwyer. This has put the wind up a few in the rugby league family that salford may start walking the walk as well as talking the talk.

Personally we have lacked go forward in the last few years so the signings of Darrell Griffin and Vic Mauro is a massive step in the right direction.
On the field we have been improving winning our last game at home to Hull KR.A victory which many Reds would not have predicted 10 minutes in to the 2nd half.
The players showed a lot of heart to battle back to win and its a good sign that when times are hard which they will be at times this season they will dig in and that as fans is all we can ask.

Drinks in the fans bar 

Another massive improvement on the match day experience is the new and improved fans bar. With classic Salford games being shown before the game on large TVs, interviews with past and present players and decent beer prices this is certainly becoming the must go place before and after a game for any red. If you haven't tried it yet do...you won't be disappointed.

Last week I bumped into Salfords new CEO Ed Farish when he joined the Dr in the bar to enjoy post match celebrations with the fans.
He seemed like a good bloke totally focused on the job in hand, loves his rugby league and willing to listen to the average Joe fan like me which is a good sign.
He was also a guest at the last Forever Reds supporters trust meeting (www.foreverreds.co.uk) and was a very good and informative guest.

I'm totally confident the structure we have in place will take us to the next level both on and off the field.
While I was in there I purchased a Retro Salford RL man bag / kit bag from Forever Reds. It is fabulous, Certainty the best thing produced in years both officially and Unofficially from the club so a little hat tip for the boys who produced it I hope there is more to come.

Another good thing happening is supporters buses running from Walkden, Irlam and Cadishead.
Lots of reds live in these areas and if promoted correctly through schools and local clubs in these areas will further improve supporter numbers coming to games. 

Do YOUR bit...promote. ..share and click 

So with Salfords social media / marketing team going hell for leather at present bombarding us with positive news regarding the club its up to us fans to do our bit and help promote the club.
The 350 people who are not already Salford fans on my social media outlets get a healthy supply of Salford news / reviews / posters to read through and digest.

This has worked so far very well with lots of interest regarding tickets and even Tweeting / Facebooking congratulatory messages about salfords 1st win.
Supporting Salford is like an addiction to some but we all started somewhere whether it was at school or through family we all started on the journey with a introduction to the club we have grown to love.

 From little acorns big trees grow and if a positive Salford news story arrives on a lapse Salfords fan news feed or a person who enjoys sport sees an opportunity to give watching rugby league a go with their local rugby team one click of a button and it may change their lives in a positive way forever.

So do your bit "copy share and click"
