Crowds (Salford)

I thought, as they were new to the EFL, they have a couple of years to comply with FFP.
I know there are no controls in the National League

How much are the best players on? I heard rumours of 9k a week... that can't be true? If it is they should be walking the league.
I enjoyed my time in Manchester the past two nights but give me a proper ground like Oldham any day of the week! It was nice to stand on a terrace but the whole setup of a football club in the middle of nowhere with such a crap support (bankrolled by a bunch of ex footballers) is doomed. Just look at the Rushden and Diamonds project Salford!
The famous 5 or whatever they are called should have invested in Bury.

Whilst on the subject of crowds, what about the abysmal attendances at Sid James. Top 3 nearly all season and they can’t get more than 4K through the gate.
Well, I’m glad they didn’t but it is intriguing to wonder where we would be if they had and RL stayed as their manager.Clarke_B":1l6gkth6 said:

A bit harsh DGO.
They did manage almost 8,000 back in October. Mind you that was against PAFC!
Best "other" attendances this season are 5,968 (vs Newport), 5,435 (vs Swindon), and 5,312 (vs FGR).
It seems that they can pull about 4,500 of their own fans (when doing well), plus whatever the opposition bring.
Tuesday games - somewhat less. Bingo night?
It's not great, but - hey hoe - that's who they are.
What I thought was odd was that Salford's attendance was one of their lowest of the season. Strange considering that Argyle are promotion chasers. For an away side to have nearly 50% of the overall attendance whilst playing nearly 300 miles away on a Tuesday night, that doesn't happen often. Rochdale away in 2002 comes to mind, but that was a promotion clincher, so kind of understandable.
If we had players on £9k a week who were turned and left for dead by a rookie loan player in the 92nd minute, I think I'd be asking questions!! 
Long my they continue to fail to achieve anything.
It's rich owners and their play things that damage the pyramid. But the EFL are too timid to do anything about it.
FFP should apply the second you join the league and you should be forced to sell or not play players until it's balanced out.

Salford won’t be sustainable as a Football League club unless their crowds drastically improve which is unlikely to happen. Buying your way out of non league is very different to buying your way up the Football League just ask the fella at Vegan Green Rovers. They will come unstuck when they have to comply with FPP.
It actually makes what they are achieving all the more creditable.Devongreenowl":1q1k478u said:
