Here’s something for you to thank everybody for great support this season courtesy of our new friends and sponsors at HD Cable.

The Willows will be awash with red this Friday (25 July) courtesy of the Reds new 2009 sponsor hdcable.co.uk.

To celebrate the Reds return to engage Super League for the 2009 season, hdcable.co.uk is generously giving away thousands of FREE commemorative “Super Salford!” T-Shirts, to supporters attending this Friday’s clash against Leigh Centurions.

Chris Pinder, MD of HD Cable said:

“We wanted to do something for the fans to celebrate all the club’s fantastic achievements so far this year. I thought of buying all the fans a pint but that would have left out all the younger supporters! So a T-Shirt is something that fans can take away, keep and hopefully wear with pride. After yesterday’s news the ‘Super Salford!’ slogan seemed to sum up everything perfectly.”

Supporters will be able to pick up T-shirts in the ground on Friday night before the game and the club are urging all fans to join in the celebrations and wear their T-shirts with pride as they mark their win of the Northern Rail Cup and a return to Super League.

Tickets for the game are on sale from the club shop priced at £15 for adults and £9 for children.  For further information call the ticket office on 0161 736 6564.

After today’s news Wednesday’s show will obviously be a special one. Featuring interviews with John Wilkinson, David Tarry, Shaun McRae and Malcolm Alker it’s going to be well worth listening in.

Also McRae tells us the latest news on the Paul Cooke rumour…

If you miss it for whatever reason the full show will be available on our podcast on Thursday Although if you go down that particular path you don’t get the finest of tunes and also can’t participate by emailing us!

If you have any messages of congrats or otherwise email them in to radio@reds.co.uk or studio@salfordcityradio.org before the show starts.

Look forward to hearing from you….

Hello.

Arriving just in time for the final (anyone would think we planned these things!) are some great quality flags. See the pictures below!

Large flags are priced just 5 pounds or 3 for 10 pounds

Car flags are 4 pounds or 2 for 6 pounds. These are great quality and guaranteed not to break off while you’re driving (unlike the last lot we had!)

If you’re driving make sure your car is dressed for the occasion! If you’re on the train or coach flags will be available on board…

Apologies for the delay in updating, been a bit busy

The singing section (blocks F, G & H) are now completely sold out, both at the club and with the RFL ticket office. We are now advising those wishing to be close to this section to request a seat in block J.

Tickets are still selling very fast, and it’s great to see so many new faces coming down to buy tickets. Keep up the good work spreading the word, and let’s take over Blackpool for the day!

Quick update. Block G is now completely sold out, and there are less than 150 seats remaining in block F - once they are gone the singing section will be completely sold out, with no possibility of further tickets.

If you wish to be in this section we urge you to buy THIS AFTERNOON if at all possible, or risk disappointment.

Tickets are selling fantastically well, so don’t say you weren’t warned!

We are attempting to get more tickets in this block, but as of now this section has sold out (in under three hours)!

Tickets in all areas are selling fast, and with news of a lower than expected capacity at Bloomfield Road for the final we would urge fans intending to pay on the day to reconsider. Season ticket holders have until after the game against Halifax to claim their discounted tickets, or until tickets are sold out.

More updates when we have them.

Good and bad news.

We are going to delay putting tickets on sale until midday on Tuesday as opposed to 10am as stated earlier. That’s the bad news.

The good news comes in two parts (with more to follow). The reason for the delay is that we are waiting for confirmation on special offers that will be available to Season Ticket Holders, as well as the possibility of discounts for other groups if they buy from the club.

Please try and be patient - there is no point bombarding the club with questions at this moment as the staff have no answers to give you until tomorrow morning’s marketing meeting signs off on everything.

The second part of the good news is that we will be dedicating part of our allocation as an area for those who wish to, how shall we say, enhance the atmosphere. Noisy supporters should request to sit in this area, while those who wish to watch the match whilst eating a cucumber sandwich should request to sit away from the rabble and we will be happy to accomodate. Seats in this section will be available on a first come, first served basis. More details tomorrow.

Finally, we now know that our allocation is 1500 tickets (West Stand blocks L, K & J, Family Stand Blocks E & D and the North West Stand block H) with the possibility of ‘more if they are available’.

We will have more information on all of the above, plus details of pricing, travel and any other other promotional schemes that are given the go ahead.

Please do try and persuade your friends, families and colleagues to go along even if they have never been before - it’s a big day for both the club and the city and it would be great to see a Salfordian (and Mancunian) invasion of Blackpool that weekend!
