$al£ord vs Stevenage (12:30 Sky Sports)

[Franchisor]

Finally a club whose fanbase I think everyone can unanimously agree is more 'plastic' than ours. At least our fans actually celebrate when we score. Salford's look like they were politely applauding off the cast of a matinee at a village theatre.

Considering it was their first football league goal ever, I'd hope for a little more enthusiasm..

This is a boring game. Stevenage have really offered little. They remind me of Cambridge/Yeovil last season. They look as though if you pressure them they'll just roll over.

 

[Howzy]

Wow, Stevenage really look poor! Not overly impressed with $al£ord take Towell, Wiseman and Dieseruvwe out of the team and they are distinctly average

 

[OhGodGlovePuppet]

Salford is decidedly not the most affluent part of Greater Manchester or its environs. Not that way where the club is anyway, and certainly not the rest of Salford. Aside from the bits that are basically Manchester, it's a shitpit.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Rob Palmer commending $al£ord for trying to 'build a fanbase' with their ticket prices (tenner for an adult).

Change 'build' to 'buy'* and he'd be right.


*more realistically, loan off ManYoo

Is that all? They would need to pay me a lot more than that to get me to go...

I really hope this bubble bursts.
There is only so far you can take a club like this. They will get bored and walk away.

Must admit I feel a little cheated that they didn't broadcast Orient vs Cheltenham what with the tributes and day dedicated to Justin Edinburgh and raising awareness for the JE3 foundation. The whole occasion was worthy of TV footage not 1,500 in a lego set bankrolled by billionaires. Saying that it's also a relief in many aspects aswell as we are always shit on TV.

Reckon they can take them quite a bit further tbf. With Lim's billions no reason why they can't reach the Championship. (Not that I want them to).

Anybody think Salford’s first goal was offside?
