Have you ever tried to find ' Celtic ' or Harlequin ?

How about ' West '

And yes Salford is not as big a place as Manchester but it is a hell of a lot bigger than W1g4n,St helens,Warrington and lots of other places

In fact you should try finding anybody in Toulouse who knows where Toulouse Olympic play , I tried , it was like trying to find anybody in Bridgend that knew there was a RL team playing there

I think it's time we started to use the Manchester name. What is their to lose?



































...except about 30 die hards from the Scarlet Turkey!

I think its fantastic that the Reds club wants to keep its name attached to a place thats commonly referred to as "Earths Bum".

The Salford fans' attachment to their lack of national or global recognition.

Is Salford in Manchester?

I am refering to Greater Manchester, not the City of Manchester!

Manchester United could never be used as it would alienate the blue half of the city.

It would need to be something that was not associated with football and that both teams fans could relate to ie
Manchester Pirates or Manchester Scallies

Oasis Bears.

Manchester Merchants?
