Salford City

Always bothered me that the Neville's ploughed their money into Salford instead of getting involved with Bury, especially with the family connections.

It would have been touching if they had invested in Bury. But then, allegedly, Mr Neville senior was very fond of touching!!
 
Looks like they might well be giving it Giggsy 'til (longer than) the end of the season.

The accounts of the holding company, Project 92, lists 'Other creditors' of £20m but doesn't say who these creditors are. They issued £1.5m of shares to prop up SC in the last financial year.

SC's wage bill is the same as their turnover, so every penny they bring in as revenue is going out as wages, before they spend any other money. And Gary Gargoyle has the brass neck to call out the Glazers.

Project 93 closed down. Re-born as Thread. Probably news to you as you are not in an SK postcode. However, you are forgiven and I am pissed having started NY celebrations a tad early.

Then the cold hard facts became apparent .. Ratty and his equally inept cohorts couldn’t manage their way out of a decade old douche bag..!! It’s lamentable having this charlatan spouting his shit about the beautiful game he knows Zero about on any form of media..
 
I went to watch Darlington play at Salford before the 92 takeover. There was about 350 there and the team played in Amber shirts.

A couple of years later I was at another Darlington game {not involving Salford} and got chatting to a girl who maintained Salfords website. I remember at the time she told me that Salford had a population of 250,000 so there was great potential.

It must be heart breaking for the original Salford fans to see these twats change the club colours etc in their vanity project. Its all going to end in tears with those loses.

I used to “follow” them a little bit. Never been to a game in my life. But always used to look out for their results in the paper and wish them well from afar.

I can remember reading in the old Salford Star newspaper, when they broke the story of the interest from the ex United players. The article was full of quotes from Neville about how the old fans had nothing to worry about. They weren’t going to come in and fuck about with the traditions of the club.

Then the first thing they do after the buy out, is dress them all in replica United kits. Neville later brushed aside complaints about that with some bullshit about the club not having always played in tangerine and that they had even previously played in red at some dim and distant point in their history apparently.

For a supposed shrewd businessman, I don’t even understand why they would want to do that?

Salford always will be a United stronghold, due to its proximity to Old Trafford. But if say even a conservative 10% of Salford residents have some sort of affinity towards City. That’s approximately 2,500 current people and an unlimited amount of future potential fans, that you’ve totally alienated and ensured will never want anything to do with them. Makes no sense.

Same with the Moston Rag Socks.
Claim to be a community club, yet in being a rag lite tribute club they instantly alienate every Blue in the "community" they are desperate to be seen to represent. And then wonder why more local businesses and residents are not getting behind their "product"
 
The football is shite but I'm no stranger to shite football. However, the admission price for over 60s is £10 is probably the cheapest in the EFL.
Say what you like but that's a good price.
