Salford City

Lim owned the united cafe franchises in the far east.
The so called class of 92 were always over to promote the cafes on behalf of rag central.

I assume they saw a goldmine and made sure they befriended him

The rest, as they say is....... comedy gold.

Never knew that..
So basically the scum of "92" took advantage of him..
 
I'm on a ground-hopping mission to see all grounds where FL/EFL games have been played regularly.
Dear Jim (or Lim), please fix it for Salford to go bust, or at least out of the league) before their proposed move to the AJ Bell Stadium.
I visited Moor Lane when it was a ramshackle dump about 30 years ago, so I've not had to re-visit their current ground.

My Swindon Town-supporting mate suggested I get down to the Penis-insular Stadium last night to cheer on the Town. I told him, that apart from Media City 'n The Lowry I don't venture into bandit country which prompted him to question my 'bravery'! Sense before bravery, I said. He thought that had I been there the 2-1 would have morphed into 2-5 and despite getting chucked into the Ship Canal post-match it would have been a small price. Meanwhile, he's bemoaning another Town loss from North Yorkshire.

The ground is nowhere near the ship canal.
 
If Salford City FC take a number of tickets that they can sell to their own supporters, and a few extra for potential new supporters and kids, that’s fine.
Treat the match like grown ups, enjoy the day and take the money.
If the rag tossers that own them, ask for 6000 tickets and hope to sell them to rags, that’s not fine. Then it increases police costs, affects the attendance, and increases the tension and potential for violence.
City should price it for a family day, Salford should accept it a family day, enjoy it and reap the benefits.
Yes, they may get a draw or win, but a share of a friendly 50k crowd, possibly plus tv money will help them more than having 35k and a big fight.

It goes further back.
Lim owned a number of Rag Cafe franchises in the Far East. As part of that deal the gpc had to send players over for promotional stuff. He sent this shower of shit who latercwent into business ventures with him.

The AJ Bell has reverted to its original name of Salford Community Stadium now, but you should avoid having to visit it, in the near future at least. Salford City were looking to acquire the 50% share in the venue held by Peel Holdings, and to move there to share with Sale Sharks, leaving Salford RL to find a new home.

However, Salford City Council instead bought out Peel and they now own 100% of the facility. They're committed to keeping the rugby league club there, while Sale have a 25-year lease that currently has about half its term to run. Salford City seem to have accepted that the stadium isn't an option for them any longer, at least for the time being.

Obviously it's possible that things could change at a later date. However, Salford's upwards trajectory seems to have stalled: they're mid-table in their sixth successive season in the fourth tier and, for the fourth successive campaign, are in League Two's bottom four in terms of gates. Do they really need a bigger stadium?

They don't need a bigger stadium, but if they had a stadium that was easier to get to, and more towards the centre of Salford, they might attract more local fans.
Away fans are usually found in the watering holes of Prestwich as there are no pubs near the ground.

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

In that case, let's hope that Salford City Council can make a go of developing the area around the stadium and running the complex, while the clubs from the respective rugby codes prosper enough to keep the football club out.

They need better owners.

Always busy at Barley Farm opposite pre match when rugby matches are played at AJ Bell. Easy to access from the motorway.

Works well for the rugby teams.
