Salford Red Devils have announced that all Blue Light Card holders will be given free entry to all remaining Betfred Super League home matches this season.

The Blue Light Card is designed to give employees who work in pivotal sectors, such as the NHS or Armed Forces, discounts across a number of services, with Salford now signing up to this scheme.

This gesture hopes to display the club’s gratitude for the unthinkable efforts from our Emergency Services, NHS and Armed Forces at this unprecedented and incredibly difficult time, while also providing these inspiration people with some light at the end of an unpredictable tunnel.

Salford director Paul King said ‘The dedication these people consistently show towards safeguarding our community is truly heroic. At this time, I know many of our Blue Light friends will be under immense strain and we hope that through this initiative, we can do something to give them enjoyment when the situation calms down.’

‘At this point in the year, we expected to be looking towards celebration fixtures for world health day, the Emergency Services and Armed Forces. While circumstances prevent those events happening, we don’t want to miss out on those opportunities to come together and show our appreciation for the heroes who walk among us.’

The season is currently suspended indefinitely due to the global pandemic, but details on these complimentary tickets will be provided when the announcement regarding Super League resuming has been made.

A coronavirus testing centre was set up in Salford in just 24 hours over the Easter weekend.

The drive-through testing hub has been set up at the AJ Bell Stadium in Eccles.

Staff at centre will initially be able to take swab samples and run 120 tests a day - by appointment only. Results will be available within 72 hours.

At first, priority will be given to staff from Salford Royal Foundation Trust and health and social care staff - who are within the first five days of showing coronavirus symptoms, or who are self-isolating due to family members being unwell.

Loved ones who are also showing symptoms will be tested.

Safe transport will be provided to the site for those who need it. The service will be run by Taxi Transfers, which uses closed passenger cabins.

The 2020 Dacia Magic Weekend,
which was due to make its return to Newcastle on May 23-24,
has been postponed.

Betfred Super League intends to keep Dacia Magic Weekend in the 2020 schedule and all options are being considered as part of extensive and ongoing fixtures remodelling. More information will be provided once there is a clearer picture regarding the resumption of the season.

Executive Chairman Robert Elstone said: “It’s regrettable that Super League has had to make this decision – but in light of the current situation, it is sadly unavoidable.

“Our fans will be disappointed because they were all looking forward to returning to Newcastle; however, Magic is still firmly in our plans for 2020, with St James’ Park, at a later date, one of the options being considered.”

Tickets already bought for Dacia Magic Weekend in Newcastle will be transferable to a later date at St James’ Park, or an alternative venue depending on when the season restarts.

FAQs relating to tickets purchased for the event can be found here.

All Salford Red Devils supporters who have purchased tickets for this season’s Dacia Magic Weekend are asked to please wait until the new fixture schedule is confirmed, before making enquiries regarding refunds
