You might as well bite the bullet, take a bit of each other and join your names to be

Salford Sharks RL and RU

Have the same kit but RL's home kit is Red and away is white
RU's home kit is white and away is red.

Don't think that you can blame the stadium management company for getting the best offer for stadium naming rights.

What would be interesting is if Salford have an obligation to actively promote this title sponsor or would we be looking for some kind of drop for doing so. Sale will with the exposure they can offer the new sponsor be able to offer the stadium management company a bigger return, hope that the people involved in the sales side at Salford explore any possible revenue generation from this.

As Salford have been involved from the outset you'd think we'd have had first refusal. Do you think we didn't ask, didn't want, or couldn't afford? As far as I'm concerned whoever sponsors it can stick their preferred stadium name up their .

Agreed

that said wasn't there a deal in the pipeline with Williams from the outset ?

It's all a bit sad really all them years of hard work to find our co-tennants can call the stadium something " Rugger" Amlin arena ? Hiscox hamlet ? or the Zurich dome .

Too fuc#in bone idle our lot to do anything about it! Still living in the fuc#in dark ages! Knobs!

Good to see you taking the pi=#000000ss out of the future of a club, I don't envy you anyway because RL is knackered on a whole. I'm jumping the sicking ship, RIP.

Think orrigionally we did but in the usual Salfordesque way duck farted about and didn't deliver, afraid to say any decisions and opportunities like that we get that could affect anything that is shared and don't instantly make the most of it we'll lose the chance and Sale WILL act.

I go to watch my team and don't really care one jot what the stadium is called, sure in an ideal world it would be RL related but it's not an ideal world, I mean if it was some of the toe ends on here wouldn't be stealing air from the rest of us decent human beings.

wonder if Trish Goldsmith had still been around things would have been different I for one am certain it would.
I know allot of people didn't like her methods but she did bring in some very good sponsors.
Her leaving was the worst decision the club have ever made.

Just heard their radio advert on Key 103. They are taking full advantage of the fact that there is no premiership football in Manchester this weekend.

I guess with a big marketing budget, radio adverts are easily acheivable.

They have entertainment etc on tomorrow to try and attract a new set of fans.

If I remember Salford were going to do something similar, but unfortunately we opened in a Blizzard so most stuff
had to be cancelled, call it luck, how many will be watching Wigan on Sky tonight if England are on ITV at the same time?

Well, Sale have done a better job that us of making the place look homely. MBNA branding all the way across the back of the east stand with huge Sale player mug shots integrated into the advertising. I really hope that they are removed for Salford games. On the bright side, the sharks logos on the west stand are largely black, and barely visible from a distance on the dark grey background.

OH,i thought you said it was great the rah rah boys moving in ,sharing everything,learning from each other how to generate more income.And with you having welsh ancestry how great it was going to be how our income streams would be beneficial to both clubs.WRONG,Again .

Agreed the fish on the wall looked fantastic "black against grey" you could hardly see it from right in front, magical



Interesting to see at last nights match that they had managed to slip 30p on a pint of cr*ppy fosters yes £3.30 a pint.

Yeah prices have shot up in the food kiosks!!!

Lets face it the only people who will still call it the salford city stadium is us and no one else. Sale will find a bidder for the naming rights lease. Then everything associated with out club from sky tv to letterheads will have to bare the stadium name.
I find it interesting that the stadium fb site has stated that Salford have to agree to the stadium name of whoever gets the rights.

Sale attendance today 7451

Sky sports news reporter this afternoon said they were going over for a report on the sale game from Edgeley Park and also the score card that pops up with the analysis stated from Edgeley Park



At least they're treating them lot with the same contempt.

Hugely inaccurate , they had just over 4 thousand.

west stand looked really empty

According to the Beeb

There was a lot more than 4,000 there but there was a lot less than 7,400 there. I've already said on the Sale forum that we must have made that one up.

South Stand was full and East Stand was near enough. West Stand probably 3/10 full and North Stand had maybe a couple of hundred.

The problem with the attendances is gonna be the West Stand and its stupid pricing. At Edgeley Park we had 2 stands with a combined capacity of around 7000 that were Silver and Bronze. Now the Silver and Bronze are only in the East Stand. You lot probably know how much that holds more than me but doubt it's much more than 2000.

So people wanting a seat are left with the choice of a £550 season ticket or £47 a game in the West Stand and I'm glad that they've voted with their feet.

It's gonna be like that all season in my opinion. Any of the vocal lot or those who want to stand have opted for the South Stand and those who wanted a seat but aren't a millionaire opted for the East Stand.

Attendance was probably realistically around the same as the Leinster game - 5,500.

there is your problem half of the ground is the west stand, so look at TV with that info the gate will be about 4k at best

the record of who ever counts the gate at the ground is 8k on match night 5k a few days later and 4k after that

You'll get used to that. We seemed to have had two attendance figures given for most games this season.

Spotted some Saracens fans in Eccles at lunch time looking very bemused at some of the sights, not Pimms and Prawns.

Of course the area around Edgeley Park is awash with Pimms and you can't see the pavements for the prawns....

I think you're taking the stereotyping just a little far!!!!

Exactley, and Edgeley Park doesnt have its own ' Airport '
