When they move in, they'll be the major tenants. I can see Salford matches being switched to make way for some massive Sale Sharks match in the season overlaps.

I think it's something to do with the massive amounts of money their board have in comparison to the debt-ridden Salford club.

Sale's owner is lookin to offload the Sharks and look to go down a different sporting route, make of that what you will?

That's not what I read this week in a major press release. Sale Sharks are about to blow the lid on League's domination of the Rugby codes in the North.

Apparently.

Sale Sharks can't even sell out edgeley park pal, and do you really think an area seriously dominated by Football and the leftovers into Rugby League are going to watch that drivel Rugby Union? Sale rarely attracted over 3000 at Heywood Rd in Sale so what makes you think they would attract more playing out of nearby Salford. a load of rubbish.

I thought their crowds averaged 8,000 to 9,000. I may be wrong though. And yes, I agree, they won't take "the North" by storm - they're only one club but I do feel that they will be the "daddy" in the new stadium at Barton - eventually. Simply, they have more financial clout.

8,000 to 9,000? Heywood rd only had a capacity of just over 5000? And they couldn't fill that i know my uncle used to go and watch and come home and tell me how poor the crowds were there.
It doesn't matter what financial clout they have the fact is Salford or Manchester people will not take to Union they only just take to RL and we’ve had an RL club for over 100 years. Salford and Manchester is Football first by a country mile then RL followed by cricket RU is miles away why do you think Sale decided the move away to Stockport? They had a good period where they won the premiership but since then have done nothing supporter wise.

Well, hopefully they will keep "below stairs". I know they did well a couple of year ago as you say but I did think they got decent crowds at Edgeley Park.
