The Club is being created as part of a joint initiative between Countryside Properties, social landlord Contour Homes and Salford City Reds, and will provide facilities for rugby league fans in Broughton who are currently forced to travel out of the area to play, or watch the game. Salford City Reds successfully applied for a National Sports Foundation award and this will match funding from Countryside Properties and Contour Housing to re-establish rugby in the area. Ben Cramant, Community Rugby League Development Officer for Salford City Reds said: “We’re really looking forward to working with existing Salfordians and new residents from across Greater Manchester to create the team. Lower Broughton is an area that has historically had great success with Rugby League through the original Broughton Rangers team who changed their name and transferred to Manchester some 75 years ago. We’d like to bring some of that success back for the New Broughton community.” Seems pretty clear to me?
