Salford sufferer home defeat against Leeds Rhinos at the AJ Bell Stadium. Salfords lack of fit bodies available after losing 3 interchanges to injury and some indifferent refereeing decitions left coach Ian Watson frustrated.
Injuries and suspensions will have a big effect on any team and Salford are doing it tough at the moment.
I am sure that Ian Watson and the players will draw on the experience of last seasons heroics to guide themselves thought the current choppy waters.
With Salfords run of home games coming to an end against Wakefield they now face a tough few weeks with trips to Catalan Dragons and Hull FC to come.
Salford have worked hard in the community over the last few weeks with engagement with schools in the area and local rugby clubs helping to build the clubs profile in the city.
The Castleford Tigers game on the 20th March is another opportunity for the local schools, Colleges, Universities and community group to attend the game for free. With over 900 child attending last time the offer was available it shows there is a demand and a hunger to watch Rugby league in community.
This is a fantastic offer to potential new fans and will give the organisations great exposure on a match day.
The Supporters Trust are involved in running supporters buses to the game which allows fans to get to the game if they don’t have a car themselves or can’t use pubic transport.
The Supporters Trust hosted a Mowtown and Soul night in the Bluebell this Friday, it was a success with Ed Chamberlain and Krisnan Inu in attendance.
Ex player Paul Southern and Reserve Team coach Danny Barton recieved their Salford Red Devil’s heritage numbers too, this celebration shows that us supporters celebrate our rich history as well as look forward to the future.
The club are reaily engaging with the community to help grow its fan base, with a increase in season ticket holders for 2020 the tactic seems to be working which is good news.
Salford Red Devil’s this week announced season ticket holders can save 10% across food and drink at the AJBell_Stadium concourse kiosks on matchdays
This is not including confectionery items, the marquee, the Seven Brothers beer pumps and the lounges around the stadium.
Any savings on a match day are welcomed by match going Reds.
Wakefield Trinity visit the AJ Bell Stadium on Sunday afternoon and Ian Watson will be looking to get back to winning ways.
After missing the defeat against Leeds Rhinos last week Lee Mossop and Dan Sarginson return to the squad, this is a boost ahead of this crutial fixture.
If Salford can record a victory it will boost confidence ahead of a trip to Catalan next week, it will not be a easy game Wakefield have quality all over the field so Salford will need to be on their game to record the win
