Hi , Is it True there will be a FR Meeting tonight? If so What time and Where? hoping to attend .

Thank You

Yes, the board have called an Extraordinary Board Meeting to discuss what action can be taken. It is just a board meeting though, rather than a full trust or public meeting.

So do you just all go round to shirleys for tea, cake and a good chat? I mean what can forever reds actually do? I would guess nothing other than Shirley telling them she needs paying for theo's tea.

Yeah, superb. Just the way to look at it. I've seen that approach towards independent supporters' group before and it cost us dearly. Supporters' can have a real, positive influence and power if they can unite and channel it in the right direction. Then again, maybe some people are just happy to sit by, watch it all go tits up and watch Sale/Manchester RL if it comes to it.




Of course, you could be joking. You are joking, aren't you?

We don't know what Forever Reds can do, but if we don't discuss it and ask questions we'll never find out.

Correct and it appears that Wilky isn't for listening to other supporters so hopefully he will listen to A Foundation that has done more than offer Opinions and has actually raised Money for our club.

Cavendish street,why don't you get off wilkinsons back. You seem to be obsessed with running down the one man who has tried to keep Salford afloat.that man has lost millions on our behalf and I think he needs our support while he is trying to secure our future. I know there have been a lot of let downs and cock ups and I believe a lot of people have taken him for a ride.let's give him some slack to let him get on with sorting out the business of the club.

Nope not true, Until recently I was another one of the merry "Wilky is God" Brigade, It's True without John we wouldn't have a Club today but also With John and Co in charge we may also Not have a club to support in the future. For what he had put into the club for over 30 years ,Well that takes some commitment and Deep Pockets but Im afraid his Legacy isn't looking as admirable as it once could of done. Rightly or Wrongly.

Oh and Red Polly; Remember this post...
about time the management faced reality,john wilkie spoke about the club being a family club.well I dont think that dragging young children, who I may say are the next breed of supporters, to matches on freezing cold friday nights and not getting home until after 10 oclock.that stadium is right out in the open and will be freezing cold.also I think salford will find it very dificult to get more supporters there, as away fans will travel better on sundays than on fridays

Touché ..

As I see it Forever Reds only have two options on the table: make a public call for full transparency from Salford, or do nothing.



I have always been a big fan of John - it's quite apparent that without his input over the years we probably wouldn't be here today, but the lack of news coming out of the club is causing longer term financial damage than any tax bill or outstanding invoices will do. It's driving people away from the club and once they're gone they won't come back. Without the diehards there is absolutely nothing to sustain the club, we've already had it demonstrated in spectacular fashion that there is no mass of families and newbies waiting to be converted to the cause now we have a new stadium so we need to retain the support of those who hold the club closest to their hearts. At this junction that requires full disclosure from the club.

Well as somebody who can deem myself qualified to speak from both sides of the Forever Reds fence, I hope the people involved can get the ideas and backing to make a difference.

During my time with FR... People I think got to the point that they were sick of hearing about us... We were largely active both around the club, in the media... via printed press, TV and Radio... We got in the faces of people because we needed to make a difference... That needs to happen again... because lately people hardly hear of it and it is perceived by many as a vehicle to get people into the good books of those at the club (Not necessarily my own thoughts but one I'm often hearing and asked to give opinion on). Now there are some bloody good people around Forever Reds, and ones that CAN come up with ideas to make things happen... seriously intelligent people... This time though it has to be different. It has to be a case of going to the club demanding answers in order to help... and not the 'yes sir no sir' approach... not the nodding of heads when they are told by the Chairman and other directors that all is ok... because it clearly isn't.

Despite helping the club for many years, FR are still looked down on by many supporters, and people at the club. They are good when they are needed... In my own experience... as soon as we had done what was required... we were cast aside... and before anybody tries to tell me any different... they weren't involved in some of the conversations that I had with the people at the club... and believe me... The club would have been happy for us to stop once we had raised that money.

However anybody looks at the Chairman and the rest of the board... there have been mistakes. You don't get in this position unless you make them. Yes... as supporters we are grateful, but now is a time for people to hold their hands up and admit there have been mistakes and let those who can help... just help.

I've never joined Forever Reds but if they require people to not so much donate money but make a financial commitment to assist any form of buy in I would certainly do that with pleasure.

The issue I see it is how do you ensure that people remain committed to this type of monthly investment, there are the so called die hard fans who like myself wouldn't pull out without extremely good reason but I can see some would pull this type of funding if they are short of a few quid to buy the next round of ciders.

Very happy if this is going to be an option for someone from FR to PM me and I'll happily sign a DD agreement to commit £10/20 per month to the cause.
