Some of our fans are a fuc*king embarrassment. We will have this discussion in 5 years time. In the mean time why don't you all go and w@nk Sale off go and watch them and suck Kennedy off
And o Fu*k off Tarry.

No1 can give me a positive as to why the Sale move is going to benefit Salford and the reasons that are given are quite frankly something only a chimp would believe. I know why don't we all go for a nice greek before the next Sale home game?

Has the penny not dropped yet? Nobody needs to give you a positive or otherwise. They are here now. And whether you choose to look for potential benefits and maintain a positive outlook or simply sulk and expect the worst to happen, it's an unalterable fact.

I'd actually have more respect for the doom mongers if they actually did something (arrange a demo, blockade the stadium, anything!) rather than just sulk behind behind a keyboard throwing out scattergun insults in all directions.

The truth is, I was annoyed when the Blue seats suddenly appeared and our club failed to be transparent about what was going on, I was annoyed by some of the disrespectful remarks that Diamond made in the press and I've no more idea than anyone else on here as to whether Kennedy's intentions are malicious.

But I also know that once Red City Developments died a death (can anybody believe in hindsight that we swallowed that fairy tale?) and we effectively agreed to assume the role of tenants, that it was inevitable that we would be sharing the stadium with someone else and that the someone else would almost certainly be Sale.

I'd have preferred us to have had a little longer to stamp our own mark on the stadium first (although there's little to suggest what difference this would make) and I'd have preferred it if our own club had been a little more open about what was going on. But that wouldn't have altered what in my opinion is/was an inevitability.

The point I will continue to make is that, regardless of your feelings on this inevitability, it's in the club's best interest to look forward and do all it can to ensure that it plays an active and equal role in this partnership.

If we're able to do this, there are a number of [u[ipotential [/i[/upositive outcomes (eg, improved transport links and stadium infrastructure, increased fan base, reduced overheads, increased corporate support).

However, if the club follows the lead set by some on here and chooses to sit back, sulk and wait for the worst to happen, then we are indeed doomed.

Very well put.

I like/dislike some of your (slang) but you have the conviction to follow it through so respect. But I love this one, didn't they just stay solvent long enough to get a franchise



You never know now there is nothing left in Weaste the Willows might go bust, and there might be problems with the land use agreements. Ow hang on.



As for embracing Rugger In Salford I'm a proud Dinosaur

Bore off! Go drink some pimms and watch your kick and clap in a stadium that you would never of had but for SRLFC!

Nobody needs to "embrace" anything, to be fair. We don't even have to like it. But we do need to move on and make the best of the situation.

As I said, it was a fairytale. "iconic" stadium, 'enabling' projects, super casinos, "richest club in the league" etc etc. Looking back in hindsight it seems ridiculous that anybody bought any of this (least of all the Super League licensing panel!).

What we now need to do is refocus on reality and make the most of the situation we find ourselves in. Is that really such a contentious statement to make?

Love it! How any plastic league/Salford fan can accept Sale/Union whatsoever is beyond it for me! Its not draconian either, just common sense! F U C K OFF Sale and RU! I'll say it if no one else will!

Not just that but all the other e you spoute! Salford RL and RL in general doesn't want or need people like you! You come across as always wanting inferiority to me rather than fighting the cause no matter how you want to spin it!

Whereas you're 'fighting the cause' how? Swearing at strangers on the internet?

Has it not quite sunk in that people are quite aware the we need to be wary of Salford's ability to go forward and make the best of this situation more than anything else? However, Sale are a factor in that considering their previous record...

Coming from you I take that as a compliment!

If the asset-stripper extraordinaire does to Glasgow Rangers what he has allegedly done to Stockport County (?) we could have thousands of Caledonian psychopaths descending on the SCS giving us their historic renditions of William of Orange songs,which pre-date the forming of the Northern Union,so we could all enjoy
backward-looking,future-fearing,bigoted,working-class brotherhoods en masse.
Deep joy

Sorry mate. I just read that as "I'm not intelligent enough to reply or I don't have a good enough response for you so I'm going to act like a 14 year old on an internet messageboard."

Also, not sure where they sell Pimms in Wythenshawe, you know? That area that's even more of a dump than Salford

*disclaimer for those who don't understand jokes or irony and are getting ready to tell me that we're not wanted in Salford for the 11th page in a row*

I'll have a pint of bitter and think of you though. Cheers.

25 year lease with an option to review after five years.

I think the terms of our lease are reasonably similar.

What are you basing this on?

You yourself just said Sale have a lease for 25 years with review after 5. Salford on the other hand only have a 10 year lease with a review after 3. Nothing similar about that.

I'm happy to stand corrected.

I guess the 3 year review is to do with the franchise system but why only 10 years and mighty Sale have 25 ?

Exactly.

Agree re Franchise.

Re 10 years - well JAW will be nigh on 80 I guess and it would be time to call it a day no doubt.

If the length of our lease is based on JAW's age then I'd be seriously worried at the Council/Peel's opinion on the club's long term future.

Sounds just like at York University...is it?

Did any of you actually read that? It's a stadium, other sports use it, so what? Dont waste your time worrying about an inferior sport which has almost zero bearing on your future.
