Doom mongers United - Messrs Mitie Mouse, Programme Thrower, Dantes Inferno, Lance Todd, etc plus other Ostriches with their heads in the sand - may have missed one or two inveterate moaners - but the logical thinking of Wayward, The Butcher, Original Salford, Bonita, Ex Salford Univ etc is just too much for them. There are nothing but positives to be gained from the appearance of Sale at Barton. Its up to us to milk it for all its worth - we have the better code - so its up to us to make sure our `marketing` sells our product to the Sale faithful.



Its this NEW support we need and we will benefit far more than the Sharks BUT the Salford Sales staff are definitely on red alert from now.

HAHAHAHA

Just watched the first half of Sale v Bath (2 penalties to 1) - before falling asleep - if our lot cannot sell the excitement of RL to the Sale masses then I agree there is no future.

Can you list a few benefits for Salford from this move?

Underfloor heating and phase 2 will get built

Yep,you are still in a dream EB,WAKEY WAKEY,Tarry and his gang HAVE NOT,in umpteen years sold the greatest game to the people who lived within a stones throw of the Willows,but now the supporters of SALE are going to automatically save us and become our new supporters.

Don`t no about under floor heating,but phase 2 yeah,and with who`s money,Salfords or Sale`s,and that is my concern.

Sale fans enjoyed the `Salford`atmosphere in the South Stand on Monday & it seems many will be buying the £97 season ticket there.n Also they have been offered 3 years @ £297.

OH,so is that why 5000 turned up then,it was full of sale fans who have seen the light,imagine what it will be like when all the Salford fans turn up who could`nt make it on a afternoon kickoff,jez we will sellout every game,never mind the away support we don`t need them aye.Have you woke up yet?

And the benefits to Salford are?

So there buying a season ticket for, errr Sale next year, my god that'll show em.





Maybe we have them to thank for the exact attendance of 5000.

Marketing Initiative

WHAT? All your excuses do`esnt wash,explain please how Sale are going to market us,are they going to tell MR Tarry,who as been doing that same job for a number of years,how to sell more tickets,erm i don`t think so, i still think your asleep and in that REM mode.

Just PMSL







.... Ow hang on

What i want to know EB,is where all your mates are, you know ,like you said before,its only me,lance ,program,and so on,who don`t know f all ,wheres your mates now.

Sorry EB but can you show us facts on how many have bought these tickets for SALFORD games?

I give up,i have had enough of this bullcrap,6 of us will now say goodbye to Salford,it just is`nt home anymore.

That statement is as offensive as it is pathetic. Mitie (sic) Mouse seems a fitting name for a small and bigoted man.

I actually ventured out of my bunker and went to the dark side tonight (I suppose that would make me a 'Fifth Columnist,' mitie mouse!).



Whilst the game itself was fairly poor (as was ours on Monday) I came away impressed with the matchday experience. The prematch atmosphere around the ground is warm and welcoming, with plenty of food/drink stalls and a large beer tent with a DJ/live music. All of the supporters I met were extremely friendly and expressed a firm interest in getting along to Reds games (some had actually been on Monday). 



That said, I don't think we're suddenly going to have 1000s of Sale fans beating a path to our door each week - they're passionate about their club/sport as we are about ours - but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be welcoming/inclusive. I'm personally embarrassed by some of the narrow minded comments on here and any visiting Sale fans could be excused by thinking our club is dominated by aggressive bigots.



Thankfully, those supporters I met who'd come along on Monday were impressed by how welcoming and friendly the Salford fans they'd spoken to had been. 



I've said before that I had misgivings about Sale moving in before we've actually had chance to make our own mark on the stadium, particularly given the way the relationship with SCFC has been portrayed by some parties. But the plain fact is that we do not own this ground and - no matter how hard mitie mouse etc stamp their feet - we do not ultimately have a say in who else uses the facility.



For what it's worth, I actually think having Sale on board will hasten some of the obvious improvements that are needed at the ground (they can bring the beer tent for a start) and will help transform a venue that, to be frank, still feels soulless and half finished into an arena that we can all be proud of.



Personally, I'd rather see the club (and its fans) be proactive in establishing a positive working relationship with Sale that, if handled professionally, can benefit us all, rather than stamping our feet and complaining about the unfairness of it all.

I like some of your post like the match day experience/beer tent etc, so don't take this the wrong way, but there really is no need to be embarrassed about what Salford fans think about Sale or rugger in general as this forum afterall is about rugby league and specifically Salford RLFC , where to be honest most of us couldn't give a xxxx about Sale or rugby Union .

I was referring to Sale's offer for their fans Kots.



£97 for the season and £297 for 3 years - standing - and they will be using the South stand.

"For what it's worth, I actually think having Sale on board will hasten some of the obvious improvements that are needed at the ground (they can bring the beer tent for a start) and will help transform a venue that, to be frank, still feels soulless and half finished into an arena that we can all be proud of" .........





What did you think of the 'obvious improvements' they have made a Edgeley Park? ...... was it raining because you will have noticed the natural waterfall pouring down from the guttering on the Popside

(that's the asbestos roof which now needs £1000's spending on it, we will have to see if our 'landlord will pay?)



Did you use the C&B facilities in the Cheadle End? if not you would have missed the authentic 'greasy spoon' theme they are going for





Its a stadium that looks like its had 'transformation' from its multi - millionaire owner doesn't it? Why do you think they will do something at the new stadium when they are only tenants?

They might have done if they 'owned' it maybe ...... mind you ..... I wonder of they might try and buy it? ...... no they are sharing with you and that would only make you tenants to Sale and that would leave you in the same boat as County ...... nah that's never going to happen though as that would be scheming



.... nah it'll be fine

BRAVO.



Common sense at last prevails, last time I checked our club wasn't in the financial position to discourage ANY potetnial new fans. I know some Sale fans are looking forward to year round rugby (regardless of code) as are some Salford fans so there is already a potential increase in fanbase there for both teams.

Nobody is asking anyone on here to take a sudden interest in rugby union, simply to be respectful of others and welcome newcomers.



Sometimes I suspect that some of our fans would actually quite enjoy the doomsday scenario that the SCFC are alluding to just so they've got something to moan about.



I'm getting really sick of seeing our fans moaning about everything without ever offering anything vaguely positive/constructive.

I'm not talking about bricks and mortar improvements; the ground itself is a relic and you can see why Kennedy has opted against throwing money down a large black hole trying to improve it.



What I'm referring to is the way they've made the best of what they've got to create a really vibrant matchday experience with a carnival type atmosphere. Frankly, we could learn from this.
