Reds to Start with Away Fixtures

December 3, 2007 by Paul Mc

Salford City Reds will begin both their Northern Rail Cup and National League One campaigns with away fixtures as they prepare to embark upon what will be a historic season for the club, come what may.

In a year where the Reds will learn the fate of their Super League franchise application, and one that will see construction begin on the new stadium at Barton the Reds have been paired with Swinton, Rochdale and Oldham in the group stages of the Northern Rail Cup comencing on 3 February with an away tie at Rochdale’s Spotland.

The first game at The Willows will be against local rivals Oldham five days later.

National League 1 kicks off on Friday 21 March with a tough trip to Leigh Centurions, whereas the first visitors to The Willows in that particular competition will be newly-promoted Featherstone Rovers on Easter Monday.
