| Quote: Slugger McBatt "Is it the same Steve Diamond who defected from rugby union to play for Wakefield Trinity at the end of the seventies and early eighties, and even played in our 1979 Wembley final against Widnes alongside other union defectors like Keith Smith and Mike Lampkowski? The point I'm making is that rugby league served him well when it suited him, financially, and with a Wembley final under his belt, arguably provided him with his career highlight.'"
No. The Steve Diamond who turned out for Trinity, and a few other clubs, was Welsh. The Steve Diamond at Sale is a former England rugby union hooker. |

Salford need to be battering manchester, with offers, promo's, flyers giveaways, just to let the people know who Salford City Reds actually are.
You seem to just be an invisible blob, which is just going to be pushed aside by Sale from reports, seeing them put Blue seats into your stadium is a bad enough indication. Manchester is the 3rd biggest city in England, yet Salford were averaging something pathetic last season!
If you get the crowds in for the new stadium, it'll be great, but the biggest achievement would be getting them to stay, and thats what you have to do, if you can reach 7-8k average this season you can builld on it, and finally show the potential.
good luck for the new season, and hopefully on my next trip to Manchester i see some flyers regarding the new season!

Manchester may be the third biggest city but it has the highest supported football teams in the land, which reflects on what Salford can do, but a mate of mine who lives in Weaste picked us up after the match yeasterday, he was coming back from Tesco's he had no idea that Salford were playing. |

Will watch with interest at these plans!'"
Havn't had time to read throught the thread, but a mate at work who is close to people inside Stockport County told me that Sale Sharks will become 'North West Sharks' in an attempt to become a bigger brand. They will base themselves in Salford and play games around the region.
Hope they fall flat on their faces. |

They already present themselves as the peak of a pyramid of "rugby" in the north-west. So very probably. I'll keep my ears open as I work spitting distance from Stockport's ground.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

I thought Leeds,Sheffield,Bradford and Liverpool had a greater population than Manchester. |

Pev doesn't mention Population , I guess just prestige? the office of National Statistics list Manchester the 3rd most popular City after London & Edinburgh.
the area known as Greater Manchester's population is 2.6 Million .
North West Sharks sounds rubbish , I guess they cannot use the 'Manchester' tag , as Manchester RUFC formed earlier than Sale in 1860 would be unimpressed . |

Read the section on sport to see why Salford have such an uphill battle. The rest of the site suggests why the conurbation will be had for any one non-established club to crack.

St Helens have two massive premiership football teams to contend with. They've an uphill battle too and still manage top crowds. |
