Quote ="Cruncher"I find the idea of Sale RU trying to pinch supporters from the Wigan, Leigh, Salford area quite amusing actually. It's so irrational that it smacks of desperation.
RU has no real history of massive support at domestic fixtures. There may have been a surge after they all turned professional, but even though RU is far more entertaining to watch now than it used to be, it always seems to me that only the glamour of the international competitions - helped by a monumental publicity machine - brings in the mega crowds.
Who do they actually think they are going to recruit in this area? I mean, if Orrell are playing to one man and his dog, where is all this support for Sale going to come from?'"
I thought everybody knew that the north west of England is full of union types.
