The South Stand is now known as the Wellsprings South Stand.

The south stand of the Gus Risman Stadium?

Tongue was very firmly in cheek.

Good for the area if there are lots of fans milling about all year round regardless of which sport they are watching, Christ there are plenty of places in Eccles and Patricroft that need all the business it can get.

Just like Salford City Reds

I've just received a Groupon offer for Two tickets for Sale Sharks v London Welsh. Two things occurred to me. The first was that although I'd seen Saints offer tickets this way, I'd never seen Salford do it.

The second thought was that the map on the offer was taking these prospective new fans to Edgeley Park!

Salford have done it at least twice this season to my knowledge - think they've used both groupon and happli

Yep you've just not seen them. They had a 3 games for 15 quid or something like that.

The problem is Groupon take 50% of the deal money meaning Sale or Salford would be left with very little.

People will happily pay £15 for 2 tickets but when its back to full price, will people still come? It will be interesting to see how many Sale sell via Groupon.

I've just bought 4 tickets as its a cheap Friday night out with the kids. My boy plays union so he'll be happy.

So far they have sold 48 which will bring a grand total of 96 people through the gates and a revenue of £360.

will Sale be playing at our ground next season when there drop down a league

7,479 to watch the fortnightly kicking contest at our ground tonight (though we all know how accurate those figures are ). This was their first league game at our home, on their preferred Friday night.

They've amassed a total of 3 tries in their 4 games so far this season (2 in 2 at our home), though had I been at all interested in attending I would have witnessed 9 successful kicks at goal from my seat in the West stand, ever so reasonably priced at £45

Apparently they have got the police involved to control the traffic flow on matchdays. Stadium website be advises a 1.5 hour wait on the car park! Welcome to Salford.
