Do you think this is the best solution? The supporters bar is a good idea and hopefully if its set up and run properly will improve the match day experience. I enjoyed the atmosphere at the Etihad last month and if we could replicate something similar that would meet our needs.

I agree the Albert is the best place for a pint.

Christ that would be brilliant but can't see it myself, worryingly I was at the stadium this morning and nothing was either being erected or from what I have seen been delivered for the fans zone, I'm hoping it's not just a marquee/gazebo.
Think the potential to get something really good for the fans is tomorrow as don't forget get it right and we have another bumper home game next weekend too.

Does anyone know if this all down to the Council/Stadium management to fund? if not I'd hope that the club and management company are asking Sale for contributions for year round use and the potential for better facilities to be aquired.

According to the club on Facebook it is just a marquee going up.

Its going to be a marquee for two games and then moving to a space in the stadium.

We have Sale to thank for this.

£3 a pint.

Think they need to be more realistic with the pricing than that, they mention in the report that the fans are in social clubs and bars before the game and they should have taken note most (if not all) will be cheaper than that.

Could the club/stadium people get any more unlucky with the weather?

We'll be OK as long as we've got the Olympic swimming team helping with the opening ceremony as it's coming down biblically.

Was thinking the same thing MR.
Free tickets, fan bar and yet another weather warning issued by the met office. I'm sure our club is cursed. It would put me off coming for the first time.

I'm starting to think the same myself. First ever game at the new stadium and a kids fare, it snows. Second fare for the kids a few weeks later and it chucks it down. New fans marqee bar and ticket promotion and they get a monsoon.

The clubs cursed.

I know lets get the Flames in swim suits that would make good use of the weather



Though the shuttle bus should get well used as you spend minimal time in the rain walking.

I wonder what the odds are on the Manchester Ship canal flooding with this predicted 4 inches of rainfall? At least it might make it a bit easier to sail off the carpark.

Were doomed!

The Saints fans could paddle down to the ground if it did.

I'm sat watching the rain fall waiting to go to the gym, it could be a new sport snorkeling on a bike.

If they weren't about 15 years old that would be a good idea you bloody peado
