The South Stand is now known as the Wellsprings South Stand.

The south stand of the Gus Risman Stadium?

Tongue was very firmly in cheek.

Good for the area if there are lots of fans milling about all year round regardless of which sport they are watching, Christ there are plenty of places in Eccles and Patricroft that need all the business it can get.

Just like Salford City Reds

I've just received a Groupon offer for Two tickets for Sale Sharks v London Welsh. Two things occurred to me. The first was that although I'd seen Saints offer tickets this way, I'd never seen Salford do it.

The second thought was that the map on the offer was taking these prospective new fans to Edgeley Park!

Salford have done it at least twice this season to my knowledge - think they've used both groupon and happli

Yep you've just not seen them. They had a 3 games for 15 quid or something like that.

The problem is Groupon take 50% of the deal money meaning Sale or Salford would be left with very little.

People will happily pay £15 for 2 tickets but when its back to full price, will people still come? It will be interesting to see how many Sale sell via Groupon.

I've just bought 4 tickets as its a cheap Friday night out with the kids. My boy plays union so he'll be happy.

So far they have sold 48 which will bring a grand total of 96 people through the gates and a revenue of £360.

will Sale be playing at our ground next season when there drop down a league

7,479 to watch the fortnightly kicking contest at our ground tonight (though we all know how accurate those figures are

). This was their first league game at our home, on their preferred Friday night.

They've amassed a total of 3 tries in their 4 games so far this season (2 in 2 at our home), though had I been at all interested in attending I would have witnessed 9 successful kicks at goal from my seat in the West stand, ever so reasonably priced at £45

Apparently they have got the police involved to control the traffic flow on matchdays. Stadium website be advises a 1.5 hour wait on the car park! Welcome to Salford.

How does it go,
Tell a lie, tell it big, tell it loud and often and people will beleive you.

I went on Friday as I got cheap tickets via Groupon. Have to say, I'm not sure if I would go again!!! The game was OK in parts but generally quite boring. I know people have said the game has got more exciting and not as much emphasis on kick and clap, but it must have been really boring before!!!

The South and North Stands were pretty full, east was 3/4 full and West was almost empty (ticket prices probably have something to do with this!!!).

Good sound coming from the South Stand and they had a drummer! Shows with enough people, an atmosphere can be created!

Attendance figure was probably about right. Loads of people milling around before kick off and the bar was doing a roaring trade!

Overall a cheap night out, but can't wait until we start again in Jan!

Also, getting away from the car park was worse than I've ever seen it! They almost cleared the car park on the right as you drive up before letting the main car park move. Shocking!

Be interesting to see what happens to Sale if they get relegated.At this moment, they look favourites to go down.

Played 5, lost 5



4 tries scored in 400 minutes of 'rugby' - and yet they'll probably have more watching them next week than we got in most games last season...

To be fair they are the only proffessional rugby union team in lancashire arnt they? so anyone with interest in rugby union will watch them weather they are pants or not

who are their "derby" game anyone got a clue?

From the Observer match report for Sale's last game,
"Andy Powell invited the sanction after felling Dominic Day with a high challenge that left the second-row wondering what day he was.

Powell departed by flicking a V-sign to the home supporters in the main stand. Some were still awake; although a contest between the two lowest try scorers in the Premiership at the start of play had produced four tries, only one contained an element of creativity. Neither line was threatened in an abject opening that was a waste of the late September sunshine and so slow was the phase possession won by both sides that the chip ahead became the favoured tactic."

says it all really about the other rugby

Top game for them then aye?

Why are you lot obsessed with Sale......It's kick and rush crap.

Bit sad to see all this hostility so early on. I know I'm doing myself no favours here by posting but it is a shame.

As for the person who's rolling their eyes at us coaching at schools in Salford - you really can't win there, can you?

If 5 years down the line we did nothing in the eyes of Salford fans we'd be accused of playing in the ground, trying to take your fans and doing nothing for the area.

If we're trying to get active in the area, then we'll be accused of trying to brainwash your kids into becoming Union fans.

One of the things we got slated for at Edgeley Park was apparently putting no investment into the stadium or trying to get the locals involved.

Why i ask is why that club as been allowed anywhere near that stadium,answer Mr Salford? Not a chance.All you promised as turned to sh;;,Where is this top of the table team,where is this top stadium,where is this new support t6hat will make us champions,gone as the belief of the Salford people who supported you at the Willows,gone as the oeople of Salford who believed your crap,gone forever as Salford Rugby League.
