| As this story gathers pace it's looking less likely that Sale will go to LSV contrary to what inside knowledge we have heard, I think I heard that Edgeley Park isn't up to Guinness Premiership standard, if i was a Salford fan, i'd be watching out.

| As a Salford fan who works a spitting distance from the Sale/Stockport ground, I am worrried.
The Stockport pitch isn't fit for owt: it makes the infamous Willows pitch of the 60's look like Wimbledon in May.
The Barton stadium probably will continue to host Salford as that is the council's current view. However we will not own the stadium - Peel Holding will. I am on record of not trusting this company to look after anything but their own profits. Their record in Rochdale (where I live) is as a robber baron. Give them the opportunity to attract Union and the resultant media or promote Salford ... even with my red blinkers I see which way they would go.
However, please stay in Stockport as the resultant supporters are keeping one of the finest boozers going.

| I do fear for Salford in that mate, even if i disagree with Salford getting the franchise last time round, they have worked hard and put it right, it would be a shame if Sale mooched in and took it away from them. I was hoping FC United and Swinton would get in.

| The standard of grounds in the Guinness Premiership is not that high, look at the Rec at Bath. Edgeley Park is far better than that.

| Really? I look at that dump all day at work and the rec must be a right dive if its worse than that. I think RU clubs have brought in ground standards, a sale fan was telling me they need 16000 capacity, which must be bull as leigh inly holds 12700

The Rec is basically made up of temporary stands and has been for several years. Nowt wrong with Edgeley Park either, would be a crackin' ground if there was a roof at the scoreboard end.

| The Sale/Altrincham/Wilmslow Union fans won't travel to Leigh no more than Warrington when that was mooted some years ago.
Sale Union wasn't financially viable at Heywood Rd., it's not financially viable at Edgeley Park.
Does anyone think the penny will drop one day with this lot?

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Why doesn't Kennedy stick his hand in his pocket and build a ground in/near Sale? Whelan did it with us over a decade ago, why can't he?
Can't understand, why LSV...?

I'd like to see them try to pinch supporters from Saints, Wire, Wigan when all three command the top spots in SL, interest has never been higher!
Wire v Wigan - Sellout
Saints v Wire - Sellout
Saints v Wigan - Sellout
No doubt the remaining 3 games (Wire v Saints, Wigan v Saints & Wigan v Wire will be sellouts too).
