It's supposed to be co tenancy although will be interesting to see how it works.

Kind of, although I don't think now's the time to say too much just in case it turns out to be nothing. It ain't Mr. Done though, I think it's safe to say that without causing too many ruptions.

Co tenancy ........Possibly for a season, then their presence will swallow ours. They'll also get far more televised matches than us with people evidently observing a ground full with Sale and empty with SCR. I'm already feeling the ground is more theirs than ours and they haven't even kicked a ball yet.

But you somehow managed to find the PR garbage churned out by Uncle Dave on a Rangers site ....... mmmmmmm ....... you are not digging very hard for stuff that happened to County though ...... there is lots. Divide and conquer ...... they have not lost their touch

Slow painful death @ the willows or leap of faith trying to achieve something I know which one I would prefer

It's definitely a slow painful death with this chaiman ANY buyer can't come soon enough for me

This has hardly been a "leap of faith" so far, has it?

DI: Not ideal situation but when will you realise if we stayed at the willows we were dead & buried, not ideal but we have a fighting chance to make it at Barton, slim it might be but I know what I would choose & it is not the willows?

probably more like "slip, stumble, stand, wobble and finally stutter" bit like my baby son trying to walk



All us fans ask for is the club to be brave and go for it which is exactly what they did in the move to barton i said when we 1st went on this adventure that the club would need to improve in every aspect of how it works both on show and behind the scenes there is nowhere to hide anymore no more excuses and im sure eyes have been opened as wide as they have been on here about how badly stuff has turned out

Sale moving in will only be a real negative if we turn it into one, the club NEED to step up weather its under its current management system or another one, money is an issues but its not the be all and end all its all about

having strong leadership from above who have the drive and the determination to turn around the club thats comes from the very top JW,HC,DT,SS all can see how the club functions and what needs to be improved upon if we are to go to the next level both on and off the field as a club

buiding bridges with fans who have become disillusioned with the last few years of failure - a start has been made with its activity using the socail networks, the new devil mascot WHEN IT FINALLY ARRIVES and the reforming of the Junior devils everything us fans have been asking for for years its been a bit slap dash but they have made a start hopefully they will continue and not just give it up as a bad job if it doesnt go off like a rocket, this kind of thing is a slow burner and we proably wont see the full benefits of this for 5 / 10 years

attracting new fans to the new experience of watching salford city reds at barton- new supporter have not been tarnished with the horror stories / experiences of the past its about being better and giving them an experience they would like to come back to again and again

Don't be coming on here with your fancy rational opinions, talking sense. You'll get lynched!

Here's my two penneth on Sale: I wasn't keen on it happening so soon as I didn't think it gave us enough time to make our own impression on the new stadium; like a lot of people I was also exasperated by the way the club insisted on maintaining a wall of silence (blue seats anyone?) right up until the point the announcement was made (Chico's comments are also pertinent here).

However, Sale are here now and rather than moan about we need to grasp some of the initiative and be proactive in making ourselves equal and valued partners.

As it happens I actually believe that having Sale on board could actually be an impetus for positive change at the stadium. Let's face it the place looks and feels unfinished and hardly feels like a home and, to be blunt, I don't see that changing as a result of anything our club do or say (or don't, as the case may be). Somehow though I don't see Sale's management being willing to accept the status quo and, if we're willing to work together, I think the opportunity is there to turn this into a stadium both clubs can be proud to call home.

If we can be grown up enough to work with Sale we can make this stadium a beacon for 'rugby' in the region and benefit from greater visibility across both the local area (some signage would be nice for a start!) and the wider region.

The alternative is to accept what the naysayers (including the Stockport fans) have to say and then lie back and sulk until the big, bad wolf decides to eat us up.

If that does happen, we've only ourselves to blame.

Seeing as I have my optimistic hat on today, maybe if nothing else, Sale coming on board might make the backroom staff actually get their thumbs out of their A-holes and start doing things right.

My optimistic hat is obviously a ten-gallon hat today...

First thing I'd like for us - as fans - to do is grasp some of the initiative and try to establish a joint fans group. I think we'd find there's more that connects us than divides us and actually working together towards shared goals would encourage cohesion further up the chain and provide a powerful lobby.

Hindsight? Weren't you trying to convince us this was all JW's 30-year plan to screw us over?


If a handful of people moaning at length on an internet forum constitutes a huge protest, then yes. Yes it would.


It exists, with a superleague franchise. Its owners have done more for the club and the sport than your tiny mind could comprehend. Again, NOBODY OWES YOU 'SUCCESS'.

Your last sentence is something i would of put down to Chamberlain and the rest of the pacifists on their way to meet Adolph.In no way shape or form do i want anything to do with anybody from the dark side,thank you.

Doom mongers United - Messrs Mitie Mouse, Programme Thrower, Dantes Inferno, Lance Todd, etc plus other Ostriches with their heads in the sand - may have missed one or two inveterate moaners - but the logical thinking of Wayward, The Butcher, Original Salford, Bonita, Ex Salford Univ etc is just too much for them. There are nothing but positives to be gained from the appearance of Sale at Barton. Its up to us to milk it for all its worth - we have the better code - so its up to us to make sure our `marketing` sells our product to the Sale faithful.

Its this NEW support we need and we will benefit far more than the Sharks BUT the Salford Sales staff are definitely on red alert from now.

HAHAHAHA

Just watched the first half of Sale v Bath (2 penalties to 1) - before falling asleep - if our lot cannot sell the excitement of RL to the Sale masses then I agree there is no future.

Can you list a few benefits for Salford from this move?

Underfloor heating and phase 2 will get built

Yep,you are still in a dream EB,WAKEY WAKEY,Tarry and his gang HAVE NOT,in umpteen years sold the greatest game to the people who lived within a stones throw of the Willows,but now the supporters of SALE are going to automatically save us and become our new supporters.

Don`t no about under floor heating,but phase 2 yeah,and with who`s money,Salfords or Sale`s,and that is my concern.

Sale fans enjoyed the `Salford`atmosphere in the South Stand on Monday & it seems many will be buying the £97 season ticket there.n Also they have been offered 3 years @ £297.

OH,so is that why 5000 turned up then,it was full of sale fans who have seen the light,imagine what it will be like when all the Salford fans turn up who could`nt make it on a afternoon kickoff,jez we will sellout every game,never mind the away support we don`t need them aye.Have you woke up yet?

And the benefits to Salford are?
