'" I thought Leeds,Sheffield,Bradford and Liverpool had a greater population than Manchester.'"Quote: Bartholemew Smythe "Population wise, Manchester is the 9th biggest city in the UK'"
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 . |

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 |

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. |

Are you suggesting they're not. Put it this way, both of them are in the top 4 best supported clubs in the north west, and liverpool is the 2nd best supported in england possibly uk.

| distance from St.Helens to Liverpool = 13 miles
distance from Salford to Manchester = the width of the Irwell  |

| St.Helens is a traditional rugby league town with a great and successful history of winning trophies on a regular basis - Salford isn't 
I think you'll find that's why they have higher crowds bud |

I don't think the comparison with Saints is entirely fair. St Helens being further away from either Liverpool football club than Salford is from either Manchester club surely has an effect. There are a lot of Salfordians who live closer to Old Trafford than to the Willows, and now a lot more who live closer to Old Trafford than the new stadium.
In addition, Salford have got the biggest football club in Britain - possibly the biggest in Europe - on our doorstep and, to make matters worse, the second biggest club in Britain even closer - just the other end of the Trafford Road swing bridge, in fact.

To be fair the Etihad stadium is never full either so they must have a problem with that catchment area also?
