I'd agree with all of the above, although my Dad will argue for David Watkins over Chris Hesketh for Legend 4.

Harry Eagles - Salford - 35 RU England/ British Isles Caps .
It appeals to me to have the Sale fans walk past a banner / mural showing a Salford Player with more RU caps than most Sale players bar Charlie Hodgson..

You can't knock that maybe the club should take note, that said it would hurt me to much not to have Dai the "king" Watkins in there somewhere.

This is bang on the money.
I'm 30 and have watched Salford since I was 13, so 1996. 17 years without much to shout about, so "legends" in that time are pretty hard to find. Blakeley, Alker etc may not be legends of Rugby League, but within the last couple of decades they're as close as some of us have had the pleasure of watching for Solly.

| Think it would be better to get the East stand all standing, to recreate the shed alongside the pitch. You are nearer to the play in the East stand, the view from the South stand is awful. Put seating in the South stand

| Your assuming that the SMC would sell it anyway. The best bet would be to get a decent local brewery to look into it, though are there any decent local brewers? Holts would be the obvious choice but its hardly a decent pint at the best of times never mind before the trained chimps at the stadium have poured it.

I disagree but then it's only my job to know decent beer so I guess I'm misinformed
I do know it's all personal taste but to an entity like the SMC they have to look at what will sell, it's not like it's a pub that's open daily to enable them to shift stocks.
