How would Salford RLFC get increased revenue from Sale Sharks also paying rent to Salford's landlords? I agree that we may be able to learn more on the marketing side, but would we be taking on a huge risk by groundsharing with a team who enjoy a higher profile than us and may well have more success than us - we'd risk looking like the minor partners, and floating fans may decide they prefer to support the team that gets more hype and wins more games.
i dont see any problem with sharing with them! I dont think we'd suffer with losing fans because there more successful. We may gain more like some have said. I know i'd go down an watch a few of there games if we ground shared just to see what the crack is.

Don't know the in's & out's...but your post just hit home... at the moment we own our own ground.... when we move we will be like Swinton...renting of somebody else.....how long before the rent starts going up & up til we go bust I would now drop down with the real clubs, than carry on with the so called Super Expansion League..
Willows forever or I'm out........2days after renewing ST's

Widnes and Wigan rent their "grounds" as do Huddersfield and Hull FC, see I am thinking as I go along, oh nearly forgot Celtic who have no ground.
Catalan don't own their ground either

Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book 
not like Leigh Swinton Gateshead, who don't...Oh and us soon
