Just had a little thought about your new ground (looking good for you now that the council seems to have become more actively involved) and potential tenants. Rather than letting Sale rahrah get a look in they don't deserve, what would the reaction be locally if Swinton were offered the chance to move in with you? Might solve their ground issues and provide a tenant that wouldn't prove difficult for Salford in the years to come.

As Swintno isn't in Salford. Why would they want to share a stadium that is in Salford

NO!!!!!!!

Just love it that Swinton Fans are providing the capital for [size=150OUR[/size new ground via the council tax.

i think it would be a great idea for Swinton to play at the stadium personally. Lets face it, there never actually going to be a challenge to us anymore with the way their going it alone, even if they get there new stadium off the ground.



You could have double headers on a sunday or maybe a weekend ticket to go see both there games for the price of 1 (us on a friday, Swinton on a Sunday) It would not only increase revenue for both clubs, it would help esablish our local rivals once again which, i would rather see local teams playing in superleague than Hull KR for instance.



Not only this but off the back of some good marketing and things like that, it could also help to increase the involvement of more kids coming along to support the teams and getting them into the game. i remember as a kid if salford were playing away i would often come out of the Folly club over to Station Road to watch a game, just because i love watching rugby as i'm sure many of us do.





I understand the arguments against allowing them to play there but taking off the short sighted glasses for 2 minutes, it would be a masive win win situation for all involved and for Rugby in the area.

Couldn't agree more - for Rubgy League to actually grow, and for Salford City Reds to thrive there HAS to be some innovative thinking and people have to move away from petty parochialism.



Ayres Rock - you're spot on

I don't really care from a parochial point of view, my only concern would be covering the costs of opening the Stadium (ie. would Swinton's gate receipts cover our leccy bill).



With that in mind I think the idea above is spot on. I realise there's a different scale involved but the idea works well in Australia.

i would be all for a share with swinton also, would be good for the manchester rugby league scene.

Whatever happened to the 'M27 Community Stadium' that Swinton were trying to get built?

Why would it be our ( leccy bill ) it ain't our stadium

I've advocated this for a long time, Swinton with the best will in the world are never going to get to SL standards and need help to survive.



We should use them as a feeder club, allow some of our younger fringe players to play with them, joint training sessions when possible, shared office staff and community duties.



As has been mooted above maybe a joint season ticket, double headers on a Sunday afternoon all off which again would increase revenue streams.



Think it would save both clubs money and in the long run help the playing standards increase for both clubs.

have swinton not got a link with saints? i remember hearing something along those lines.
