A very exciting night took place down at the AJ Bell Stadium on Monday 28th November.
A chance for new CEO and ex Salford Captain Ian Blease to talk about his vision for the club in 2017.
We were impressed, he showed the passion and drive which made him a fans favourite while wearing the shirt. In his new role and we think there will be lots more to come from him though out the season.
Marwan who was in attendance took a back seat and enjoyed the show like the rest of the fans in the room and what he saw must have impressed him.

Ian Watson unveiled Willie Poching as his new assistant coach. It was Willies 1st day but early impressions he seemed impressed with the club and the players in the squad. Willie will bring some experience to the back room staff and is a positive move for 2017.
New signings were welcomed by the crowd. Lee Mossop, Lama Tasi , Junior Sa'u, Kris Brining, and Daniel Murray all spoke very positively about their plans for the new season.
During the question and answers both Ian Watson and Blease talked about creating a honest professional culture within the club. You build a club from the base and with these core values in place 2017 and beyond is going to be a exciting time for the club.
Marketing and media is always a big talking point for many fans, Ian Blease explained we are looking to expand in this area.
With a plan to build relationships with local schools, colleges, universities as well as our amateur clubs to help grow our fan base it seems like the club are well placed to tap into this potential goldmine of supporters.
The new official website will be available from the 5th December fans online experience of Salford Red Devil's will improve even more.
The more the club can become visible in the local community the bigger our support will become. A blend of online and real life marketing is key to the clubs plans to grow our fan base in 2017.
With the Local Council and Peel Holdings also helping Salford to reach their potential around the city our brand could be seen by millions of people in the local area through Christmas and into the new year.
The new video advertising the new home shirt was impressive, lots of fan interaction talking about how much the club means to them struck a cord with many leaving the people at the meeting thinking that it was a very good video.
The 1st fans forum should be viewed as a success, there is still lots to do in the off season but I feel we are heading in the right direction to make 2017 a huge success.
