Rumour is that Mr Kennedy tried too hard to negotiate a lower tenancy payment but failed as Peel/Salford Council were in a position of strength with Utd and Salford so refused to go to his level. Rumour.

I would prefer Sale but then if that is true then the Council/Peel are to be congratulated as Sale (or anyone else useing the facilities) should play the same rates as us.
Can't see 3 teams playing there to be honest as there would never be a fallow part of the year to let the pitch recover and maybe reseeding taking place.

If its true United reserves are going to play there i think its a massive coup not only for the stadium owners but for Salford to.I may be wrong but i don`t think United would have any designs on actually having any financial thoughts on the stadium,or for that matter undermining Salford.On the other hand i don`t think that your favourite kick and clap team would have the same scruples,i would`nt trust them as far as i could throw them,that sport as tried for over a hundred years to strangle rugby league,and they will carry on trying to do so.

An instance is that you see quite often loads of United fans in Wetherspoons in Eccles chanting all kinds of rank songs but the minute anyone mentions anything back they see it as an oppertunity to become agressive towards the people saying it.
Just find the atmosphere they generate very incendiary and volatile.

I've seen that kind of behaviour plenty of time with some Salford fans - i's not a football thing, it's a society thing.

Anyhow, back to the groundshare - any idea how many games United reserves typically play? They will get smaller crowds than Sale, but I wonder if the greater volume appeals to the Stadium Co.

I didn't mean those types of antics I meant more fighting and generaly thuggery, there is a poster on here who tries to come across as high and mighty but is a known trouble causer at FC United games, been told from 2 independant people that he does his best to cause trouble and then lets others get the grief. Don't see him doing it at rugby though for some odd reason.

GT a trouble causer

He'd be England's top hooligan if standing around and looking moody was the main criteria.

As an aside I'm enjoying the anti-Union/Sale consensus on this thread.

Good point,they have i suppose have to think of the franchises they have in the stadium and the corporate side to,but the name of United and the stature that brings worldwide could i hope just swing it Uniteds way ,old trafford is only round the corner and we all know how many people just go to the stadium for a look ,with the right publicity from our stadium owners them same people might want to have a look where their reserves play to.I know i`m clutching at straws,its just a thought to keep them bleeders out.

If it's just be the reserves (and not including the Academy) then it'd be around 14/15 games.

So the Welsh RU team are going to be playing at Barton? coming from a Welsh family that is the team I follow in RU, my interest in Sale is mainly that they are local and will hopefully be playing at a stadium I already attend.
