Salford City - moving to AJ Bell stadium (P9)

[FantasyIreland]

Apparently Neville has said at a fans forum that the intention is to move to the AJ Bell stadium for the start of next season and beyond, sharing ownership of it with Sale Sharks. Salford Red Devils would then play at Moor Lane.

Deal already done between Salford City, Sale Sharks, and Salford Red Devils. Just working on the agreement with the council.

Nearer to Stretford.....

Can blues object to the move. Moving a motion from Mr S.Goater?

That's a strange one. I always suspected the club would move to the rugby ground and Moor Lane would be flogged off - probably the most expensive bit of land in Salford (Worsley apart) around there, but didn't imagine the Red Devils would play there.
If you are a Salford fan living in / around Moor Lane, you couldn't travel any further and remain in Salford than having to go there - and traffic around Xmas will be a nightmare

Does Mr Lim own all of those clubs?

When will we be offered shares in the club ? 51% wasn't it ?


Two faced hypocritical wanker

I liked the way he consulted with the fans, seeking their opinions first during a lengthy consultation period......



what's that you say?

I think we're pointing out the irony.

On the face of it and without knowing the details of the agreement I'd say the original Red Devils have got the best of that deal. The AJ Bell is a fairly soulless place with (the last time I checked) not very good transport links. Also a football club and a rugby club sharing the same pitch and the same season is likely to make life more difficult than two rugby clubs, one of which plays mainly in spring and summer.

Slightly unrelated but as a Weaste lad, the biggest mistake the ORIGINAL Red Devils made was moving from The Willows. The place had soul and was in the heart of the City. Loved watching them play there. Never been to AJ Bell and probably never will now.

Playing football and Rugby in a shared stadium is fraught with problems....ask anyone at Rochdale they despised each other at one point
