He probably charged them rent for their own ground and all



(a joke, before Shark J gets narked!)

Haha. I'm not bothered mate. I'm not gonna have a go every time somebody says a bad word about us. I just butt in when people state things like they're facts when they're not. I'm not the biggest pro Kennedy person anyway.

I would rather we didn't move to Salford if I'm honest. Not until there are secure and regular public transport links up there anyway. Otherwise it would be pretty difficult. I think you're all getting a bit carried away though, as going off the Salford forum they generally seem to want it to happen. Kennedy said that he's committed to Edgeley Park and so for the time being I can't see it happening. In terms of a modern, purpose built Rugby ground with good facilities and possibly standing areas then I would be happy for it. But only if it suited both clubs and nobody got a bad end of the stick.

In other Sale news - Manchester United vs Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley has been confirmed as kicking off at the same time as our Reebok Stadium game. There goes our chance of promoting to the whole region! According to our online ticket site there are 3 tiers sold out at the moment. After speaking to a friend I think this basically means we aren't opening those stands as ticket sales aren't too good.

I think the fact that Notlob are also in the mix that weekend is a bit of a killer for you too. The Dingles will probably be heading south en masse now, and those still remaining will probably save their cash for a session the next day.

To be fair, it was probably the best possible weekend to pick when it was decided- nobody could have predicted that 3 of the 4 teams would be from Greater Manchester.

The only top flight rugby union club in the North West. Remember, union is a global sport which enjoys popularity throughout the UK. I'm sorry but if the game at the Reebok doesn't sell out it will be a massive embarrassment to the Sale club and Mick Hogan.

Not as big an embarassment as the grand final, played between the 2 biggest clubs in the north west, being played in the north, not selling out. Considering RL is only pretty big on the east coast of aus and the north of england, that is a MAJOR embarassment.

over 71,000 sweetheart. For a "minority" sport that aint bad. I think it was a sell out. Well the challenge cup final was. Yet Super Sale can't even get 15,000

Oh I think you find that the "Minority" sport in Oz is Union.

This is a rugby union board flower.
The Grand Final did sell out. All available tickets were sold, but don't let facts get in the way if a gin fuelled withering rant 

Super Sale?

Super Sale, the team who finished 11th last season? Super Sale, the team who average about 6,500 fans? Super Sale, the team who play the dullest Rugby in the league at times? Super Sale, the team in a relegation battle?

Come on, don't give me that nonsense. Just because we're the only professional team in the North West doesn't make us massive. We're trying to promote a product, yes. But it's not a very good one. We were a tiny club for years and only really became big when we won the league. We played at a ground that held less than 5,000 people up until about 10 years ago. So I know what you're getting at, but just because we're trying to promote a massive game and the media might talk us up - don't think that we're arrogant enough to think we're Leicester Tigers as we know we're not.

Another dreadful game tonight but we should be safe for another season. We just let Leeds play and almost look good at times. An awful game and I'm not sure I want to watch much more of it. I will though.

I think you'll find we were actually knocked out by Huddersfield



But more seriously, I was there and saw almost no empty seats. Best crowd in ages, as dids858 points out.

Don't despair. There is a superior alternative product close by.
