This is happening, Sale will move into LSV for the 2013 season. If anyone is in the slightest bit excited or thinking this is a good idea, think again. I work in Stockport and if anyone needs to know what the Sale owner is like ask any Stockport County fan. Link: www.stockportcounty.com/page/Welcome Also as a feeler here's a poll;

Amazing that you know more than the actual LSV staff do!

If im not mistaken, didnt the owner save County from going pop, and then hand the ground back?

It is also very well documented that the Sale owner wants a RL club.

Any links?

Not sure about the first and last sentances but re the middle one I think you are more than stretching what he actually has done to and not for Stockport County.

No doubt someone who is more familiar with the footie scene will clarify.

I know more than the people at LSV do I?

No mate, I just know more than you.

Ask any Stockport County fans if they like what Sale Sharks have done for them. Ask them why they don't buy merchendise, food or drinks on matchdays. Because every penny spent in the ground when Stockport play goes to Sale Sharks.

If they are just using the stadium and paying towards it then no problem. Would possibly watch my first live Union game too.

Why? It's boring.

Me n all.
Can't see a problem TBH. May put us down the pecking order a bit, but it will be good revenue for the LSV. ATEOTD it's not our ground, but as I understand it we have a part share (11%???) of the complex. Good news if more money is coming in.
And if he want's to invest in our club - bring it on.
And from Sales point of view Leigh is not a bad RU catchment area - not much top level RU competition around.

Sale Friday nights, Genesis (Maybe) Sat ,Leigh Sunday - Happy Days

Sale Friday nights, Genesis Saturday, Leigh called off sunday due to mud bath.

Brilliant.

Will Sale coming in gererate any kind of income for Leigh? All I can see is people will have to choose between the two and create competition.

its a good job we have a quality groundsman isnt it

I'll give you that one!!!

Big league 'Union' right in the heart of Super League, will Leigh fans convert to support the ra ra's ?
National TV coverage also at the LSV!

I know i won't, i'd rather eat dog todds.

I'm hoping Sale have brought 'a fart to a s**t fight' in Leigh

How much of the LSV food and drinks sales goes to the Centurions?

If we sell it on match days it goes to us, we pay for the bars and take the profit. Like every sports club on the planet....apart from Stockport County.

More Rugby to watch -what`s the problem ?

The pitch is the only problem I can foresee. Sale is miles away and if their fans want to travel all that way for a home game watching what I personally think is the most boring sport on the planet then good luck to them. If the LSV make more money then good, if it makes the whole LSV project more stable financially then great. Lets just hope our groundsman can work a few miracles because early season it will be a mudbath.

If anyone thinks we will lose fans to union they are wrong as having them both played on the same ground will only highlight how poor union is.

I stand to be corrected on this but I don't think we get anything from food/bar sales, they are run by a separate company altogether not even LSV staff, think its ECM or EMC or something like that.

If Sale do play at LSV then they'll lose Blackburn Reserves or any other possible Premiership Reserve team, the quality of the playing surface is the reason they decided to play there.

On the subject of the food/bar sales, why is it considered 'an offer' at LSV for a crap pie and a warm pint for 'just' £5?

LSV will be having rest days on a Saturday, I'm afraid.

Last I'd heard was that Sale had actually backed out of coming to the LSV as the pitch is 'too hard', and that would be partly backed up by Blackburn apparently signing a new 12 month deal at the LSV. Still, if they do turn up then I'd consider going to the odd game if they did offers for Leigh season ticket holders etc - certainly wouldn't consider paying the prices they charge at Edgeley Park though (and, yes, Kennedy royally screwed County).

At last, someone else other than Dick Scratcher is backing me up. Although, I fear for your health if you did go, cause of death- boredom.

Pint £3 plus Pie £2:70 = £5:70 so £5 is "an offer"

not a very good one mind



As I know very little about Stockport, Sale or even who the hell Kennedy is, what did he/they do and why would/should that effect us?
