The only reason you are 'getting involved' in Salford is to ensure you stay in the councils good books in regards to future priority use of stadium. Sale are now aiming to be a north west super club meaning you have the whole north west are to 'get involved' in schools etc, whereas our main catchment area is mainly Salford/Manchester. Would have more time for Sale if they stuck to coaching the Cheshire parrotheads rugger leaving the Salford area to us.

Sale have flyers in my sons school promoting kids for quid for their fixtures against Cardiff and London Irish.

Bottom of the league playing even more boring rugby than the standard RU fare.
Do you honestly think the people of Salford will turn up to watch that ?

If marketed correctly then unfortunately yes I do.

Your above critisism resembles the same reasons we have been witnessing for decades at Salford. So you're quite right, the people of Salford won't turn up for Sale matches.

Well at least they're getting off their backsides and marketing their product unlike us.

I see Marshy has yet to return after being dealt with. Good to see.

According to the BBC Sale are playing in Stockport tonight news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_u ... 136475.stm

lost again, I feel ashamed that we are linked with such a bunch of losers, they are giving Salford a bad name, hopefully people reading the BBC site won't realise that they don't play in Stockport anymore. Perhaps Sale's poor play is all about solving the traffic congestion problem?

Still managed to pull in over 8000 though according to the BBC website. That said, we all know about the different attendances being announced.

I went to the Sale game tonight with some free tickets from my daughters school... There was a good crowd on there and I actually thought it looked more the 8,000 announced.... The tickets we had were in the west stand... in block W02... which is about level with the 10 yard line... and were priced at £33 each. How people can pay that much and more to watch that is seriously beyond me. I've never been so frustrated in all my life... and the thing is... when I'm throwing my arms up in the air at yet another pointless kick... they actually think it's a good thing... and there was even a sin binning for a knock on... and they think that's right and fair. A very odd sport.

I stumbled across the match on Sky last night. I'd agree that there were a good 8000 in attendance, though why they pay to watch that sport is beyond me. In the few minutes I watched I saw numerous knock ons missed, too many blokes the wrong side of 20 stone and one point I think the ball may have emerged from under a pile of bodies. And don't get me started on the number of penalties. Well done Loyal Fan, you deserve a medal for endurance...

Keeping up an impressive one try per game average. Would it be un-neighbourly for Salford to base their new season marketing activity (stop laughing) around the theme of seeing proper rugby entertainment in Salford.

I would imagine "sponsor a try" wouldn't raise very much at Sale

Salford's new strapline "See more tries in a match than a Sale season"

They can only dream of averaging one try a game - they have so far amassed 5 in 6
