Sale just on BBC Northwest Tonight saying that if they can average 7.5k they will be self sufficient (of Brian Kennedy's money) within 18 months.

Looks like they'll be self-sufficient pretty quickly then. Their average attendance last year in the league, if I'm not mistake, was around 7900. Add onto that the new stadium factor, and how well they've seemed to manage the transition (compared to us anyway), can see them not being far off the 10k mark.

thats what happens when you charge £47 a seat, but their salary cap is higher I think they will still be dependent in 3 years.

Apparently Simms on GMR just announced Sale have successfully negotiated naming rights for the stadium?

[i“We purchased the naming rights for the stadium as part of the lease agreement and we currently are in the process of selling that to a major sponsor.[/i

The world champions play at a stadium named after a district of Leeds and Wigan play in a stadium named after a soccer club chairman.
Warrington and Saints are different but Widnes play in a stadium named after the local council and FC play in a stadium named after a telephone group.

Not exactly news is it? Anyone who thinks this 'partnership' is an equal one are deluded.

You might as well bite the bullet, take a bit of each other and join your names to be

Salford Sharks RL and RU

Have the same kit but RL's home kit is Red and away is white
RU's home kit is white and away is red.

Don't think that you can blame the stadium management company for getting the best offer for stadium naming rights.

What would be interesting is if Salford have an obligation to actively promote this title sponsor or would we be looking for some kind of drop for doing so. Sale will with the exposure they can offer the new sponsor be able to offer the stadium management company a bigger return, hope that the people involved in the sales side at Salford explore any possible revenue generation from this.

As Salford have been involved from the outset you'd think we'd have had first refusal. Do you think we didn't ask, didn't want, or couldn't afford? As far as I'm concerned whoever sponsors it can stick their preferred stadium name up their .

Agreed that said wasn't there a deal in the pipeline with Williams from the outset ?

It's all a bit sad really all them years of hard work to find our co-tennants can call the stadium something " Rugger" Amlin arena ? Hiscox hamlet ? or the Zurich dome .

Too fuc#in bone idle our lot to do anything about it! Still living in the fuc#in dark ages! Knobs!
