Just out of curiosity where did all our last seasons released players go since we let them go? I know Morty has gone to Swinton but a few were going to Blackpool from what I heard before the enevitable demise of the club so have any of these guys been lucky enough to find a new club?

i think quite a few went to swinton, i listed those we knew of in the salford game match programme

great I've not got round to reading mine yet but I will now

I am aware of Andy Ainscough, Dale Cunniffe and Mike Morrison from last year's squad who have joined Ian Mort at Swinton for the forthcoming season.

I'm surprised McConnell hasn't been snapped up by a C1 club he's not a bad player neither are Stanton or Alstead at that level

dave armitstead went home to oz didnt he, surprised mconnell and alstead havent got new clubs yet, however would be surprised to see stanton in the pro game unless his giagantic attitude improves.

swinton are at the willows this season arnt they?.

how do you think they'll go there,do you think there gates will be higher?.

they have recruted some good players ie smith, morrison, mort, as well as the likes of ian watson and gavin dodd who are still there i think they are favorites for promotion as for their gates going up only time will tell.

Since Swinton haven't bothered the likes of the roughyeds & Hornets must be happy with their squad. I feel sorry for Stanton he could could of been a pro footballer at w8g@n athletics but choose the path of rugby instead

i hope there gates do go up because i dont think they will be able to finance that squad on gates of 400 or less.

a few clubs recruited well last season in the CC1 and the gates they got didnt justify the outlay and they got found out in the end.

Swinton have a squad that could survive in the championship with the quality & experiance they have now but I pray they don't go bust but how can they stay a float with their average gates they'd have to pay the players peanuts

Yup, they are indeed.



Do expect their crowds to be up a bit (Salford fans with an interest, locals to The Willows who wouldn't have travelled previously, etc) although there has been talk amongst some exisiting Swinton fans of boycotting games because they're played at our place?! (talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face?!?)



Can't see them making it to the 1000 home average that they are apparently targeting this year though, which is a shame as I think they will be a decent side who play good football and go well in Ch1.
