Reported that Sale are to have primacy of tenure on the ground.

Reported where? Link please. I really can't see Salford Council agreeing to that tbh.

Salford council along with everybody else seem to do whatever Peel Holdings tell them to. That's IF this is genuine.

There's a link here that will sink the hearts of most Salford fans -

Although it says nothing of Primacy, it mentions talks being concluded, a name change to attract Salford/Manchester based support, and most worryingly, openly saying how great it is for them to be able to poach the best RL youngsters as they will be playing under their noses at Heywood road.

I can see us being slowly strangled.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Kennedy snap up the Reds to run us into the ground as with Stockport County.

I thought our contact was for primacy - but it doesn't say so here: www.salford.gov.uk/pr-10-2754.htm

Steve Diamond apparently said it at a Q&A with Sale fans.

Though he's upset them with plans to drop the Sale part of the name.

The difference in tone in rugby league and union stories in the MEN is remarkable.
[i'Sale's [i]stunning[/i capture of England fly-half Danny Cipriani is [idominating[/i the sports news.'[/i]

It does make me smile when people say the Sharks will be ditching their history and disregarding tradition by dropping Sale. They did that a long time ago when they adopted the 'sharks' moniker.

Bad bad news, all the young rugby being poached by Union clubs now we're playing at Heywood road. A really bad bad choice. I'm sorry to say this could be the beginning of the end.

The end is near.

Anyone else feel as though the club have just completed their walk into a rather large, obvious trap?

from the horse's month, it will cut Salford's expenditure and allow more money for the team, it is also a 50/50 arrangement, normal yawnian talking big, I would suspect Manchester Sharks will have primacy during their season ans Salford reds during our season, the Heywood road stuff is just trying to woo the Sale Shark fans, and indicates that Yawnian must reckon that the best rugby players are league players, an underarm compliment.

Trouble is, the Club's hand was forced by the RL demanding new Stadia. Once we relinquished ownership and became tenants, anything the Stadium Company wants it can do.

It only seems like a trap now because we know how underhand Kennedy and RU can be.

I do feel the beginning of the end may have just started.

Good post. Things are deteriorating even faster than those of us who saw this happening feared.

We need some clear answers in regards to what is happening. The comments regarding poaching our players is outrageous yet predictable. The question that arises is why on earth have Salford agreed to play there?

I have no faith whatsoever in the ability of the people working at Salford to resist us being subsumed by Sale/Manchester RU. Dave Tarry CEO of Manchester City Reds RL within the next decade.

Which horsess mouth?
