Never got the terrace option when I got my two tickets? Hope the terrace is in front of the seated area and the seated area not tucked away.

Thanks EP. Looks like we will be in for a bit of abuse then

Useful info that. Cheers. Also didn’t get offered the terrace so I’ve got 2 seats. Looking forward to it. Should be slightly cooler than last weekend at MKD’s! Tbf, weather report for Salford tomorrow night looks ok. Was down for rain for most of week, but now seems dry and warm enough!

With us selling out again, should be another good turnout from our fans.

Too old to travel but hats off to all that do, amazing support.

We'll have to see with Didzy and JJ...they're both first choices of course, but both coming back when not 100% on it could hurt us

What I am hoping for though is the return of Baldwin. All fans love Rawlo, but LW doesn't talk about his confidence sometimes for nothing. He can follow up a shaky game with an even shakier one if doubt has crept in. LW shows his nous by saying he takes him out till he's back on it and ready to come back in again. We'll see.

The team will know after the first 7 games that they're more than a match for what most L2 teams have to offer, so the 3pts are up for grabs here, like they were at Morecambe if we'd had the belief at that time.

Do we know if Baldwin is actually unfit or is this LW selecting Rawlo in front of him. I love Rawlinson and he's been a great player for us but Baldwin is a lot better player especially in the way we play, if he's fit I've no doubt its a message from LW he needs to start getting professional to be in the starting 11.

I think too much is made and read into all that. He was injured in pre-season, so behind. Then the sending off and suspension.
Then he came off injured at Doncaster. So 'stop, start, stop, start'. Add to all that we've been picking up the points anyway.

But I doubt anyone involved thought he'd lost his place. He's too good and too important to what we do for that.
