Surely that should be Andy 'O' Burgess after he played for Ireland

i might just pop down to this one

ave it mum!

How would Salford RLFC get increased revenue from Sale Sharks also paying rent to Salford's landlords? I agree that we may be able to learn more on the marketing side, but would we be taking on a huge risk by groundsharing with a team who enjoy a higher profile than us and may well have more success than us - we'd risk looking like the minor partners, and floating fans may decide they prefer to support the team that gets more hype and wins more games.

i dont see any problem with sharing with them! I dont think we'd suffer with losing fans because there more successful. We may gain more like some have said. I know i'd go down an watch a few of there games if we ground shared just to see what the crack is.

Don't know the in's & out's...but your post just hit home...
at the moment we own our own ground.... when we move we will be like Swinton...renting of somebody else.....how long before the rent starts going up & up til we go bust
I would now drop down with the real clubs, than carry on with the so called Super Expansion League..
Willows forever or I'm out........2days after renewing ST's

Toulouse & Gateshead you mean?

You could always start supporting a 'real club' like Leigh ..... who also rent their ground.

No mate REAL clubs like Widnes, Fev, Batley, Dewsbury, who play out of their own grounds not like Leigh Swinton Gateshead, who don't...Oh and us soon

Widnes and Wigan rent their "grounds" as do Huddersfield and Hull FC, see I am thinking as I go along, oh nearly forgot Celtic who have no ground.
Catalan don't own their ground either

For me it's about getting the stadium built.

Agree longs terms of rental on a par with Sale so we all know where we stand before the thing is built.

Rugby at the stadium for 52 weeks a year would mean that the rental would surely be lower for both clubs.

It would also mean a rubbish playing surface.

So Salford and John Wilkinson spend a huge amount of time and money over 10 years trying to make this all work and when it's done we invite our main competitor to come and lap up the cream?

Sod those parasites. Get MU reserves in. We'll get all the economic benefit we need from that, the pitch will stay in good condition and we won't end up playing in the Jason Robinson Stadium.

Will Sale fans cross over the canal?

No we don't - the ground was sold nearly two years ago in preparation for the move to barton - see numerous threads on here over the last year or so.

There is a one brain cell reply I hinted at in another topic, how are Sale parasites? and i'd rather offer the use of the ground to any sport, any association or commitee than become involved in a sport like football - the pariah of all things decent in my eyes.
