Last home game of the season for Sale Sharks yesterday coming off the back of their big game at the Reebok. As well as the longer-serving Charlie Hodgson and Chris Jones, there were several other players making their final home appearances for Sale Sharks against Exeter Chiefs on Friday afternoon. They included Chris Bell, Carl Fearns and Eifion Lewis Roberts.
I said their next home game would be the true test of whether the Bolton experiment had been a success or not. Average attendance at Edgeley Park has been around 7,400 this season so it was interesting to see what effect the 'rugby at the Reebok' factor would have.
7,482 turned up, oh and they lost.
