Prepare yourselves for the most biased coverage of the season as Sky blow a load out over a team who are only relevant due to the "Class of '92" and all but ignore the opposition; this wouldn't even be on TV if it wasn't associated with Manchester United.
Salford's complete rebranding under the Nevilles, Scholes, Giggs et al has seen the Ammies bankroll their way to league football thanks to a number of unrealistic transfers, most notably the move of Adam Rooney from Aberdeen last season. Dino Maamria's Boro side have been a solidly midtable since their play-off semi-final loss 4 years ago and should be a stern test for Graham Alexander's team... not that Sky will want you to think that of course.
Kick-off at 12:30pm with coverage on Sky Sports Football from 12:00pm.
