I suspect this is a ploy to rid Salford supporters from the stadium. If we all need credit checks to be accepted into the ground, plenty will be denied.
of course MBNA do a Salford Reds credit card, I know because I have one - all spending on it gets a percentage to the club. So, just perhaps, this could be a good thing for both clubs?
I read the same source as KOTS did, and that person seemed to be under the impression that Sale have acquired the right to sell the naming rights to the Stadium.
Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr
We won't see a bean of the sponsorship money, of that I'm certain. The sale factor has already started, they have been given rights to sell the Stadium name, this is only the start. I can't wait to hear what the 'it's a positive move' brigade have to say.
We will see more and more things move into the control of Sale in the very near future.
On the subject of the stadium. According to their website, the Bradford game is in just under 17 hours time as I type this (the countdown is on one of the toggling images on the homepage - http://www.salfordcitystadium.com/ )

So will the ground be called the City of Salford MBNA Stadium then? I think not.
To be honest, if it was that wouldn't be so bad - a bit like "Bass Headingley", where nobody used the Bass bit. MBNA may even feel inclined to chuck some cash our way - but until there was any confirmation of anything like that I'd consider the whole thing a bad development. How long until we're standing in the Cotton Traders South Stand?
