Salford Red Devils director Paul King has issued a statement following yesterday’s announcement that Betfred Super League fixtures have been suspended, initially until 3rd April.
This followed the latest Government advice regarding social contact and mass gatherings.
King joined officials from all Super League clubs to discuss a range of contingency plans with the RFL at yesterday’s board meeting in Huddersfield.
King said: “Yesterday’s decision to suspend the competition was a difficult one for all clubs, but I assure you, the correct decision was made.
“Above all else, focus must turn to doing whatever is in our power to help protect one another. Look after your families and neighbours throughout this difficult period.
“The local community and family are at the core of our values as a club, but they feel more important than ever at this moment.
“For many, there will be far greater concerns than the club at this time, but we know how strong our bond is with supporters and believe it is only right we keep you updated.
“Measures have been put in place to protect both playing and non-playing staff from the virus and a financial plan is being implemented, to attempt to ensure the club is able to navigate this uncertain time also.
“That being said, we would be hiding something from you if we did not admit that the current situation will test our club to the limit.
‘Without a benefactor the support of our loyal fanbase will be vital throughout what is set to be the most challenging time I can remember for our club.
“Your continued support will be a lifeline throughout this period devoid of gameday income.
“To every Salford fan who has supported us by attending a match this season, I urge you to continue showing your support whilst we are not playing.
“Last season, we achieved greatness together. This season, in the face of a different challenge, let us see that greatness rise once again.”
The club also confirmed that all season tickets and individual match tickets will remain valid for the clubs rearranged fixtures if and when the time comes.
