According to my mate, they don't want to. Looks suspiciously like someone wants the council to build Wasps a new stadium, sell Adams Park for housing and sod what was one of the best-run football clubs around.

That's union for you,grubby little beggars.
You only have to see what Sale have done to Stockport FC to see this.

Exactly mate. And worse is, now Wycombe have seen the precedent and must know what's coming.

Welcome back cj, talking poop as always I see.

The past few pages on here have generally been quite pleasant to read and have had well balanced views.

There were about 3 pages of me explaining to people the real situation at Sale and I thought Urmston had a better and less idiotic view than he/she does, but recently something seems to have made him/her even more anti-Union.

Oh well, at least Catalancs talks a lot of sense, so well done mate! That's one more League fan than I would have initially thought.

I have read your apology (in the philosophical sense) for Sale and understand where you're coming from, but this does not mean that I have to turn round and say "well, that's ok then". I fundamentally have a problem with chairmen moving in and dividing clubs from their grounds and therefore from their main asset. I do not regard Sale Sharks as a club as a villain, but I reserve the right to view its top brass as such. I class various football chairmen under this as well (see Wrexham).

The treatment of SCFC by Cheshire Sports seems to me to have been unfair, thoughtless and selfish.

To answer the other point, I do indeed dislike most RU, this is undeniable.

Fair enough. I take your points.

I just don't understand the thinking of cj. If I'm not wrong he's a St Helens fan. Around 2 hours ago his team won away from home. And yet instead of celebrating over on the other forum he's taking a pop at a sport he knows nothing about.

I don't like League all that much, I have a soft spot for a few teams, but I don't like it on the whole. I think they're great athletes, their fitness and speed is something Union can't compete with - but I draw the line there. I find the games themselves to be too repetitive and boring. I can't understand how people can be quite happy to concede so many tries every week. Warrington and Leeds tonight being a great example. I don't understand how teams who are so big can concede so many tries every week - especially seeing as you're limited to 6 tackles, which is the worst part of the sport for me. As far as I'm concerned I don't see how every game isn't 0-0 with that rule. But it isn't. And it's your sport. And that's why I butt out of things I know nothing about.

cj doesn't even make a quiet entrance, he just jumps in with things that if he said in court he'd probably get charged for. "Killing off our game" is quite an accusation. And it isn't 1885 anymore, so he really needs to move on. As have 95% of League followers and 99.9% of Union followers. For a sport that's been apparently getting killed off - you've done well. You get similar attendances, nicer stadiums on the whole, a more competitive league pyramid of which puts our 2nd and 3rd tier to shame. You should be praising your game, rather than slating ours. But the bile you spout is utter nonsense and should be left in the past. I get the impression you're in your 40's or thereabouts. So unless you're a really old man, and got shafted by the RFU some time ago - I suggest you try and move on.

Who knows? When we (Sale) move to St Helens and take over your stadium, kick you all out of your jobs, and turn your town into a Union haven whilst you're forced out of your own ground - you might come and watch a game sometime*
