Been doing some research and I can confirm the following nearest boozers for the match:

Thomas Burke (Wetherspoons), 20A Leigh Road
The Goose, junction of St Helens Road and King Street
The Hilton Arms, Twist Lane (behind the car park and ground)
The Britannia, St Helens Road - this is the nearest one from the ground.

Thanks.

So according to James Elston on Twitter

HEADINGLEY.......a big Belle View!!

Visited there last Friday, I forgot what standing in the rain on crumbling terracing was like...horrible place

RFU rules for premiership club state they have to have priority over pitch usage or no inclusion.
London Welsh faced the possibility of not being promoted, so they had to switch from Readings ground to Oxford Utd's (i think).
Look at Leeds at Headingley, they're not even second in the pecking order!!
Its a shame but as part of the "share" of Salford's ground they (the Salford club) must have given Sale that assurance.

I'd just like to say big wraps to Leyther Matt for his assistance and advise for both Salford anf Wakey fans for the visit to Leigh this Saturday.

Thank you very much, Matt, much appreciated.

I fancied seeing Salford's new ground, but the LSV will do; quick switcharoony with childcare arrangements, and I'm good to go.

Feel a bit sorry for Salford though - I assume they'll be compensated in some way for the loss of revenue?

Is it 6.15pm KO this Sat?

Looking forward to going to the LSV this Sat

I think Salford should be compensated, because their fans have been well and truly shafted bigtime.

Sale's normal matchday is Friday, they'd already switched to Saturday to accomodate Salford and as ESPN have chosen their game for live coverage (before Sky's announcement) can't change back again.
