not far out that mate...I rather suspect Lim has bailed, and that Peter Done ( the real brains behind Bet Fred) has jumped in, with another American 'partner'. And that they will definately be eyeing up Salford Reds stadium.

do sale rugby union still play there because they tried to buy it once

Who wrote that shite for him - they were formed in 1940, and have barely any history prior to being catapulted up the leagues by excessive expenditure (which almost no-one mentions).
People should be reminded that in 2018 they spent £300k to bring Adam Rooney down from Aberdeen.
Hope they sink back where they came from
Edit: I should also have mentioned there are clubs at NL level and lower with far more history than them

I don't think he ever lived in Salford the gormless twat.

He definitely lived in Hulme as the rags had some flats on Chester Road opposite Cornbrook tram stop near where I used to live for youth team players and he 100% stayed there for at least a year

He had a place in Worsley when he first got married. Though that’s hardly “Salford”

Bury have two FA Cup wins ,maybe his big buddies the Chuckles should help bail out their hometown club instead of whining constantly about Yernited.

Odsal is still the home of Bradford Bulls RL. It holds the RL record attendance in UK of over 102000. They're luck to get 2000 these days.

He doesnt exactly sound like John Cooper Clarke. Did he not know Salford City were there when he was growing up in Salford or was he a regular at Moor Lane's one concrete stand.

It still is.

I actually wish them well, I'm generally supportive of the Greater Manchester teams, bar the obvious one.

Lots of blues went watching Salford city , but if a flash in the pan really , I can’t see them doing anything of note or attracting new fans , I used to take my boys in their younger days , but now not a chance could I get them to go .

They alienated a lot of Salford blues with their senseless decision to turn them into a mini United and have them playing United kits.

There was nothing to be gained from it but at stroke probably ensured that any local City fans who may have had a soft spot for them, feel like they wouldn’t be welcome.
