Koukash disappointed over crowd figure

Salford owner Marwan Koukash says he is very disappointed that only 1,759 people turned up for Sunday’s home game against Featherstone.

The Red Devils smashed Rovers 70-16 at the AJ Bell Stadium.

“It was a crucial game, there was no football around, there was good weather, it’s a Sunday where families can come and we reduced ticket prices,” Koukash told BBC Radio Manchester.

“To only have 1,750 for a crucial game, I must say I’m very disappointed.

“What the fans all have to understand is that next year the club will only be able to spend what it can afford.

“I can no longer keep bankrolling it the way I did. If the fans wanted to see a competitive Super League side they need to start turning up.”

Koukash said he has yet to make a decision on whether he will sell the club at the end of this season.
