Not hated as much as MK Dons. Salford earned their league position through playing football.

Forgetting Salford City the most surprising stat mentioned here was Stockport County averaging 9000 a week. You've got to be impressed that a club thats average attendance was around 7000 in the 2nd tier a little over 20 years is averaging 9000 in the fourth tier now. Don't know how they've done it but huge respect, they certainly do know how to run a club.

62 away supporters for Salford at my club last year, less than two hours away, on a Saturday afternoon. There simply isn’t the support base for Salford and never will be, so the bubble will burst one day.

For me changing the teams colours from orange to red does indicate that it's a vanity project for the class of 92 but what they spend their money on is their business and it does show their love of the game lives on.

Someone needs to give this woman a contract. Amazing commentary, learnt new stuff and i live about a mile away from the peninsula 😂

Same here in Germany: The day I became a member of my football club, got tattoos of it, was the day, when 1860 Munich was relegated from second Bundesliga to lower league in 2017. Our loyalty and love to the Munich Lions broke into space and we went with 15.000 lads to some away days in this season.

As one of the 140 who used to turn up before the money was put in I’ve got nothing to lose. If it all goes to pot there will still be a Salford City in one form or another… and I’ll probably be able to take my dog. Credit to the owners for doing so much off the pitch with their efforts in the Salford community. This is Salford. Not the most affluent place the UK and we have our problems. But seeing a younger generation of fans getting together and supporting their local team is great to see. As for the ground, it’s blocked in by a school and houses on three sides and a protected moor on the other. Lack of parking and room to grow means that if the club is anymore successful it is likely that relocation will be necessary. So I’ll continue to buy a season ticket (£100 renewal for over 60’s 23/24 season). Even if the Class of ‘92 pull out I’ll thank them for the ride. It’s been great so far.

I continue to watch these excellent little documentaries with excellent storytelling, despite never really been a huge football fan. You are a bloody amazing content creator, tv execs should really take note, quality like this is why I don't often switch to live tv. 👍🏻❤️

In 2014 I saw Salford lose to Harrogate Railway in the Northern Premier Division One. Now I watch them lose to Harrogate Town in league Two. The more things change the more they stay the same.

"Not half of some meat".....There is a touch of Philomena Cunk in you!! Your humour and comments are awesome.

Glad to see you're still using that board Nieve, happy birthday Diana!

I think the problem is that the Salford owners are willing and able to sustain big losses to fulfill their ambitions. This creates the situation that the other clubs need to spend big to compete, which then necessitates the need for an independent regulator

Don't have an issue with Salford CIty. It's been 10 years and the class of 92 are still there. Most people with a vanity project would've got bored by now and would likely have given up. Leaving at best a club with no debts, or if they really stopped caring, would leave the club in financial ruin. I hope Salford get some more local support. It sounds like they deserve to.

I can only imagine they're looking at Wrexham and thinking "what are we doing wrong?"

there are so many football clubs in england that I always thought that if you went into some bushes while walking you'd find a stadium on the other side like in this case lmao

You're my favorite football content creator. Interesting stories, humor, same love for football. You rock!

One of the worst away days I’ve ever had, treated us really poorly. On the flip side, the best ever away day was up the road at FC United who couldn’t do enough for us and were the nicest people.

It's such a shame. The class of 92 didn't invest in any of the MANY struggling greater Manchester teams. The state of Oldham, Rochdale and Bury this past decade shows that.

Most hated is a big stretch. MK Dons aka Franchise FC are easily the most hated. Salford earned their place by winning games. Some people may dislike the financial aspect of the club, but I have never heard anyone say they dislike Salford.

If I lived in the greater Manchester area (I Don't) I would go and support Bury.

I personally have nothing at all against Salford City, it's owners, Club or fans, At the end of the day the Class of 92, saw an opportunity to invest in a Local Football Club and back it as a Business. So long as they abide by the same rules as the Rest of the League then.......Carry On. The Club Stays viable. The fans Can Support Their Club, Everyone's Happy!! Great Video Nieve, Keep Up The Great Work😄

Great video. My own team Leyton Orient were in the National League at the same time as Salford City (2018-19 season), we got promoted to League Two at the same time, Leyton Orient from being champions and Salford through the play-offs. I didn't like them when they beat us 3-0 at Brisbane Road and almost derailed our return to the League, but aside from that I don't mind them, if they had been a West Ham ex-player vanity project then that would have been a different matter...

Great Vid as always. Love these pieces on smaller clubs

Really love your mini documentaries on different Football clubs Nieve you are bossing it as always and i really love the EFL and Non League so much 😊

Another great video..I love your dry humour and informative quirkiness.. Loving all your content but we need mooooore. Keep up the top top work girl.

What an absolutely brilliant channel, Great host, great content, love the dry humour too.

I love the auto generated subtitles saying 'post match the training' for 'post match adrenaline'.

I find these types of videos both incredibly relaxing and informative, so refreshing.

Great video really enjoyed it I live on the same road as the stadium love it &you have a new subscriber looking forward to watching more of your stuff 👏👏

The issue with Salford compared with wrexham is that Ryan and rob have an image a positive image of genuinely engaged with the community, involving themselves in local charities and have a perception of genuinely trying to help a historical club that had been mismanaged with their own money. Salford has no history of past glory and the class of 92 are using the club to relive past glory’s of their past using a foreign businessman billionaire as a backer because they are not prepared to put their money where it counts. They’ve run roughshod over the fans changing the kit and club logo and when they get board will leave the club in a financial mess. Why do you think green and gold is the real grass roots club of Manchester 😊

Surely MK Dons (AKA The Thieves) are the most hated club in England.

I think its great what they have done for the club. I visited salford city before the class of 92 as an away fan supporting Leigh genesis , its hard to believe thats the same ground i went to back in 2009, looks like a nice little ground now. Wish somebody would have bought Leigh Genesis, they unfortunately folded but have reformed as a sunday league team

Lived just a 20 minute walk from the ground last year safe to say the ground is well hidden in the city! Great work again will be at the peninsula again soon to see how things shape

A lot of people like to say people like Gary Neville don’t care about the lower leagues/ non-league. Now he’s going and putting his money where his mouth is and getting criticism.

When they beat AFC Fylde ,another club that divides opinion, at Wembley there was less than 10,000 there . Make of that what you will

Brilliant stories as always nieve do , subscriber From Algeria 🇩🇿 passed from here

not as hated as MK Dons or franchise FC as its widely known.

Belated happy birthday, Ms Ross!

Wow! I happened to come across this. Very cool. I’m from Fort Lauderdale. Just wait until you see what happens with this team. I watched Miami Inter grow from nothing into what it is now. 👍👍👍Keep up the amazing job! Thanks

your board behind you is always funny

Love watching your video’s your knowledge of football is amazing 👏👏👏

Love this type of video. Looking forward to your next adventures.

I guess that Salford are trying to do in 15 years what most other clubs around them have been trying (and, most often failing) to do for maybe 100 years. To go from the 8th tier with 140 fans to the pro game with 2,500 fans in a decade is still pretty impressive. I guess that fans of other clubs are miffed that they are somehow 'buying success', when the reality is that the owners are putting the building blocks in place for success to be achieved (new stadium, academy, women's team etc.). Fundamentally, those longer established - 'bigger' clubs just don't like a 'disruptor brand' shaking up the established football landscape. As always a great bit of storytelling nicely executed.

Another great video Nieve 👏🏽

I never understood why the Nevilles didn't get involved at Bury. And I think it's a shame they didn't. It's their hometown club and their family had strong links there. Surely they could've pointed Lim, Beckham et al that way. With the money the CO92 have spent on Salford Bury could've been saved and likely be having a decent run in the 2nd tier. Instead they rebranded some tiny non league club that has likely hit it's ceiling already in league 2 with 1000 home fans and a tiny un expandable ground. And a proper club up the road now plays in the NWCFL. A league Salford would be more at home in. I say this as a Dale fan too and I'm not exactly supposed supposed like Bury!

I love StuntPegg's vids. Insightful, educational and witty. Made for football fans everywhere....

Great video stunpegg more into Salford rugby 🏉 n footie however wish them the best

Love the vids btw

you could probably read out recipes for any kind of pizza dough and i would still love watching your videos.

Love your content ^^

Heya stuntpegg! Did ya not make a video when you were over at Pat's match in dublin or Minnesota?

The amount of gatekeeping in football (and just general negative atmosphere on football social media) is such a huge bummer.

I went to Stockport once. It was quite nice. Which was a surprise.

Dorking Wanderers would be a really interesting club for you to cover next

Great video from a Stockport fan 👍

I’ve recently started going to watch my local tier 9 side and if I had the sort of money to turn them into a League Two club for a bit of fun, I absolutely would. The only difference between Salford and other clubs that have travelled that same road, like Fleetwood Town for example, is the celebrity element.

Very informative thanks

always thought it was interesting the different reception the class of 92 got compared to Wrexham who have essentially tried a similar thing as them yet are the media's dream but overspent massively to get out of the conference

Who has an issue with Salford? Not me. All power to them. 🐻A Pompey fan.

I thought MK dons were the most hated club in england

I guess in the long run more power to them. In North America I see mega dollars buy an expansion franchise in all sports. When it fails they move it or sell it or both, no relegation no promotion, mega bucks does not permit that. These guys brought this club from next to nowhere to a significant somewhere (league 2). They did it with their own significant capital, but probably nowhere near the mega bucks of N.American sports.

Excellent video very informative and at times humorous

"you could tell" was great haha

A'reyt Nieve. I grew up in Manningham, where the Rugby League champions changed to Bradford City. Contrast that to me having lived in Salford. I did go and watch the RL team, but never expected the football team to be in the same division as Bradford City. Their rise in football is not too different though. Bradford won the FA Cup in 1911 just 15 years after being RL champions, when there were wool magnates with plenty of money in that city.

Another superb documentary, always enjoy your take and it always gives me that wide eyed dream like view of football that the lower leagues often bring. It's like having hot chocolate round your Nans, it's comforting haha.

As a Harrogate Town season ticket holder, I have never liked Salford, as we could never beat them. That changed this season, have them on last day of season, so will possibly go to Salford, never been before. Great content,always enjoy your videos.

Like your style. Used to have stunt pegs on me BMX in the 80s ❤

Thanks for this

I thought MK D*ns were the most hated club in England? As for Salford, I kept thinking about Gretna while watching that. Money galore thrown in to pay for ringers to get them several promotions (and a cup final) only for them to be shut down once that cash could only take them so far.

When I saw the title I assumed MK

"They' have issues with themselves with a bit of greed and envy. Salford is the Question to me. Great video Stuntpegg.

I remember Salford coming to Marine before they kicked on into the EFL. We had a crowd of 1700 that day and I think Salford had bought a player from the SPL.

Am a Newcastle United supporter and always keep an eye on Gateshead F.C. results I would love to see the reach League one or even the Championship but know that will take some time before that happens

I think they are an irritating artificial creation, largely supported by bored Manchester United fans, who have bought their way into a league place and don't really have many real fans. It's something that can be levelled at quite a few football league sides and they're not alone (although nowhere near as hated as MK Dons) while we have former league sides like Hartlepool, Darlington, Bury, Hereford, Scarborough etc all struggling for money. Clubs that actually have some real fans but don't have the benefit of a rich benefactor.

You should definitely make a journey to Millwall Den before the end of the season - a trip you simply have to do - you should contact TT drive home - lovely chaps and ask to join them for a match - I would take you guys but I relocated to the Lizard ! Be a great one for your channel

You are the best there is in this genre.

Thanks for the heads up on ground.news. Very informative. Hope to see you on tv regularly at some point, if that's your aim.

Fantastic vid! You only posted a minute ago but I've already watched it 6 times

I always wanted to look up the history of this club, but couldn't be bothered to do it. That was a nice bit of info. Thank you very much.

Stuff modern football. I used to watch Salford RFC with my Dad, as a boy, over 60 years ago. Visiting the ground was a very Lowry-esque experience. I miss the gas lamps.

First of all, fantastic video. Secondly, I have always been keen on football reporting and uploading stuff, but I’ve always been shy and maybe not confident in my ability (especially since I’m not the best at writing or journalism!), even if I do feel like I love and know a lot about football and the EFL. What are your best sort of tips for getting onto the scene and improving your confidence and that?

I applaud that they set up and academy and a women's team, which are both important for the community. I've seen someone say how is Salford different to Wrexham? One energised the existing fanbase, and one brought in new fans. Are the new fans only there because of the owners? Only time will tell, but Salford has always been a Rugby League town. What we can say, however, is that Salford are less loathed than MK Dons.

Peggy! You're back! In't Pompey brilliant?

Nobody can say that the class of 92 don't care about Salford. The club has only got better I don't see a problem.

Question, is it possible for you to make a couple videos doing a stadium tour/s?

I went to watch a game in February. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. 3-1 win vs Wrexham

Ooh when I heard Lim I immediately thought that won't end well

Enjoy your videos, only picked them up over the last couple of months....have to ask ...'stuntpegg' what is that about?

I use to play for Salford in the early 70s when they were in the Salford league

Got to go to us (MK Dons) next then? Looking at these comments people don’t really seem to mind Salford, you want a club literally no one likes it’s definitely us and not even close

Been here a few times with Bradford City. Always a fun away day.

I can see how smaller clubs with potential to improve that are near larger metro areas could have an advantage over smaller clubs that are more rural. However, having some body to regulate these type of things could be more trouble than it’s worth.

Wrexham has a history, I’m sure they’ll leave the club in a better condition should they leave. The class of ‘92 are mainly from Salford, they’re doing something at least for their roots.

Never put Stockport in the same sentence as Manchester. We’re Cheshire

one thing is for sure, they have the dopest logo

Id say MK Dons were more hated than Salford.

Diana Ross is 80! And still touring. Another great video, Nieve.

She is so fit !!

I was in that Stockport away end that night, incredible scenes when Olaofe made it 2-2!! 😁
