"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"
Salford also entering a CVA and paying up all monies owed. There is some brass in RL after all.
According to Radio Manchester the CVA will be to pay off creditors in 5 years!. Maybe the new multi-millionaire owner is not quite as benelovent as some thought.
Strange how the players he is targetting are all out-of-reach (Chase, Morley) ? Maybe trying to get the Salford fans onboard before the inevitable name change ?
Next quote from the Dr "We have approached Melbourne Storm about the availability of Cameron Smith but he wasn't ready to play SL just yet."
Why would he need or want to pay all of it up front if e doesn't have to?? If the creditors are happy with that (which they would have to be for it to be approved) then what difference does it make? Man City pay £25m for a player but pay it over a long period of time, not up front & I'm guessing you don't think they are short of a bob or two!!

Like Jamke Emmit and Daryll Griffin? They also signed up some guys from austrailia.

You must be joking. We've probably only got two or three players even on anything remotely like a good wage. The rest are kids. The players coming in will be filling the cap up but it'll be a long way until we're at full cap.
I'm sure they could get Emmit on loan for a bit, at least, if he's not getting any first team action. Better to be getting SL game time in an enviroment where players are being relied upon to step up.
He'd also get to join up with his former Saints forward chums Dixon and Ashurst.
