Good to see we've been shoved in the (dearer) seated stand, fans being priced out of games these days.

or even better leave it to Sale to run both clubs, at least by the look of things, Sale no how to run things.

Look how that worked out for Stockport County.

If you had sold more than 170 tickets for the game and the demand wasn't so high for standing in the East stand by Saints fans then you would of stayed in the East. As it happens I think it's the least selfish thing to do from Saints. I'm not having a go at Salfords away support I'm just stating the facts.

So I take it you made your mind up about not going before Saints moved you from the East? to me it just sounds like excuses, not going somewhere because you have to sit down......

Not so as fans who watched from the middle of the pitch at The Willows have now decided to go behind the sticks at Barton to watch their own team play from a dreadful viewing point just because they dont want to sit down

Daft I know but hey thats what they're doing!

Nobody is stopping you buying East stand tickets directly through St Helens though, or are they?

First off, one's a Salford legend and one's a Saints legend so your rugby union comments are completely ludicrous. Secondly, I'm sure precautions could've been taken to help them walk out, even in the snow. The rest of your post just descends even further into pointlessness.

Nothing at all stopping Salford fans buying tickets in whichever stand they like from the Saints website. You can't expect exclusivity in a stand holding 3 or 4 thousand people when you will only bring a hundred or so. But if you want to stand in the East stand, buy a ticket for it. Go to www.saintssuperstore.com/matchtickets.html choose the Salford game, choose East terrace, choose numbers and pay.
