Anyone heard this rumour about Sale Sharks moving into share our new stadium?

Seriously doubt this would happen.

ive not but my first reaction is a positive one, stadium used all year round, potential for new fans, where's the downside?

If a union club wants to pay us rent in the winter whilst dying a slow, miserable death in a town where one man wouldn't even take his dog to the match, I'm all for it.

It is happening. It was the reason the 'Saints RL' tag was brought in.

Can't see it happening. A one off game maybe but not a long term deal

There's about 30 miles between the clubs so it's not like the new ground will be on their doorstep

A pitch like Leeds' earlier in the season?

i think thats more down to it beig a carpark than the raras

The groundshare is mentioned in todays League Express.

Wrong. It was down to the covers being on for the majority of the winter.

i wont hook an easier one all year

Hardly a bite was it?

I'm all for it, if it makes our finances any better, ends the losses and secures our future as a club.

Don't get the "Saints RL" tag though as being relevant. If there had have been a connection then a simple Saints Rugby would have bee more appropriate?

It's our stadium, so we would be generating plenty of profit from it. It would be a fantastic move, but would seem a bit unlikely.

It would especially good if we could name the stadium 'The St Helens Rugby League Stadium - home of a team which plays the world's greatest game - Rugby League' (or words to that effect

) just to hear them on Sky Sports News.

'Now to the St Helens Rugby League Stadium to check on proceedings in the Sale Sharks vs Leicester Tigers game.....'

All rather unlikely, but whilst we're talking best case scenario

some union types could possibly cross over to the better game.

I notice that [url=http://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/2796this article[/url from the official site refers to us as 'St Helens RFC'. Probably just a slip, but possibly a sign of things to come.

Or as seen on the sign (sadly obscured by advertising for the past few years) under the directors box on the main stand.

Ah - I always thought that said 'RLFC'.

Spot on.

The RU premiership insists on primacy of tenure, so if Saints were to share with Sale at the new stadium, then Sale would get first choice of when to play matches.

I personally cant see this working, as i dont think there is the interest in Union in St.Helens.

The current Sale sharks location is ideal in that its close to the affluent Cheshire stockbroker belt.

I also think Salfords new stadium location would be more appropriate as this would only be a few junctions from affluent Altrincham.

Very unlikely, they're very narrow minded are our rugby cousins.

I think Mr redvee has dispelled this myth.

These two sentences sums up what yawnion is all about,t055er5.

I would love to see this happen, just to see CJ's head explode! it would be immense! lol

Oh and if it would mean being able to go watching northampton saints once a year without travel, that would be cool
