You're correct, however the fact that Trinity have contributed to the redevelopment costs suggests that money was saved to cover the new pitch, new flood lights and new roof on the Coach House house/Rollen Shack etc.
I have read Salford haven't paid the rent in the past and have received some decent handouts from the local council over the past few years. I don't know if they still are in a similar situation but it does show if you try and do things right and bumble along towards the bottom your seen as a falling club yet if you focus entirely on the first team but have a decent season then you'll seen as a valued club. Perception is everything in the modern world it seems.
For balance, they have had a great end to the season and I was wanting to see them in the final. I have enjoyed watching them and felt they were done over in the semi-final.

Their CEO revealed (fan's forum event), that the club have NEVER paid their full monthly rent. The shortfall of over £300k per annum is paid by the tax payers of Salford.
Imagine if we had an extra £300k to spend on our squad!
(But that we didn't do it by not paying our mortgage).
