OT
Sorry im not posting doom and gloom as is the norm on this tread, but does anyone else see the potential for
an offer to Sale season ticket holders to come and visit the stadium on maybe, oh I dont know, possibly a match day. A lot of them will no doubt want to have a look around before next season, and this would be a good opportunity to get a few extra bums on seats, that would normally never dream of watching League.
You never know they might pop down again.
Just a

Word.

Amen.

Confirmed equal tenancy !!

rlQuite comprehensiverl but it doesn't cover the issue of undersoil heating which I reckon they may need.
They certainly keep their supporters in the loop.

Nice to finally get at least some idea of how the income from food and drink is split. We can clearly learn a thing or two from them about communication with supporters.

Do Salford Reds not own any part of the stadium whatsoever, not even 1%?

Nope. They own a licence to play there, and rent office and retail space.

14 years of hardwork getting the stadium finally built and Sale just jump on board without lifting a figure. The sport of rugby union had been trying to belittle and crush rugby league for years now and this is exactly what Sale will do to us, yet most of our fans seem happy with this in fact some are even talking talking about working alongside Sale!!!! There is no way we can work alongside Sale we're rivals we will both be in the market to attract floating sports fans in the area yet it will be Sale who they go to due to them having lots of money and a professional marketing team off the field. I've read quotes saying the Sale will play on Friday nights and when a game clashes with one of our games they will 'consult' with Salford. Yeah right, they will get what they want which means some of our corporate revenue for Friday night games will be lost even if its only 3-4 times a season this is a huge loss to Salford.

People it's now time to stand strong and get your family, friends, work colleagues down to watch rugby league the greatest game in the world, we need to start making Barton a success so Sale don't just trample all over us. Otherwise you can say bye bye to a Salford team playing in the top flight of British rugby league and maybe even Salford RLFC as a whole. It really is that bad, ask Stockport County fans.

They already have a confirmed date for when next year's season tickets go on sale. It's a different world Link to awful statement from Tarry. We've got to plan our fixtures around them in 2013. I hope that isn't code for move them. www.reds.co.uk/rugby-news/reds-j ... ty-stadium

I feel for the Salford fans, there were some of us at Warrington who disagreed with Peter Deakin and his plan for a "super rugby club" when he tried to woo Kennedy and his crew to share the new ground when it was built. Thankfully the rest of the directors put the Wire first and we didn't end up in bed with this lot. Peter Deakin left Warrington and we all know who he ended up working for before his untimely death. All Kennedy ever wanted from us was a ground for his union team to play in, thwarted he moved in on Stockport County and they ended up as tenants in their own ground and now their very existence is in doubt depending on what Kennedy wants to do with Edgeley Park. Kennedy has NO interest in Rugby League so don't let him smooth talk you into some grand scheme, Sale are just a huge cuckoo in your new nest so get yourselves organised to fight off any plans for him to invest in or join the two clubs together. Don't all be so negative, you watch a much better game and now have top class facilities so go and sell Salford and put these clowns in their place.

interesting, in the Sale Sharks Q&A I probably gleaned more about their tenancy agreement than I ever have about our own club , there is advantages judging by Tarry's comment but we'll never know.

Great post. Unfortunately Salford's woeful management and the apathy amongst Salford fans will prevent anything being done about it.

Tarry's comments were all about 'profile' and 'exposure' which we all know will be non-existent benefits for us. Any exposure from Sale moving into Barton, will unsurprisingly help Sale. Presumably he still stands by his comments that no-financial benefit will come out of the ground share.
