I'm a massive Salford fan and I think it's amazing to see all those people over 100 years ago enjoying the mate, I think it's amazing how much the game has evolved......... Great Stuff

We've all grown up with camera's etc.. imagine how weird it was for them back then when someone told them some revolutionary new device was able to actually record and playback what they were doing..

sad to think that these lovely people are no more in this world. One day we would be part of the departed souls, its life-a start and an end.
