1 year ago today I sat in Pendleton church with a lot of salford fans listening to then chairman John Wilkinson deliver the most horrific news that the club I have followed for 20 years man and boy was broken and were about to go out of business unless a buyer could be found.
Fast forward 12 months to the present day and we now stand on the edge of something potentially huge.
I follow a club that has ambitions, that can attract world class players who hopefully with the investment behind the scenes can take us to the next level and beyond and a owner who so far hasn't put a foot wrong and put his money where his mouth is regarding player recruitment and expanding the game in the city.
I don't think I will get drunk on any success which may or may not come our way in the future and forget where we came from as a club a plucky under dog who sometimes got its day.
It now looks like we might be one of the top dogs, a dog that finally after years of toil, frustration and missing out on the big day might get ita place on the top table.
With the signing of local lad come good Harrison Hanson from wigan and such a long contract covering his peak years must send message to the people of Salford and other clubs in rugby league that Salford Red Devils finally mean business.
Im urging any of you who like sport in the city of Salford and Manchester to back your local team this is our moment I would hate for you to miss out on the greatest show in town.
Thanks for reading ill leave you with this thought IF Salford somehow manage to lift a Challenge cup or super league trophy in the next few years they will surely make a box office film of our journey from Rags to richest surely you would want to be an extra in it??
