Obviously nothing is confirmed and I wouldn't blame the club or in fact sale as neither have done anything wrong but.



If they do try to move it it's up to Salford to show us they won't roll over and have there belly tickled. I fear it could be one belly tickle to far.

Feel sorry for your fans. Build a new stadium then (as is presumed) not allowed to play in it!



It would have been our first visit to the ground as well.



Surely the change of venue and been on tv will distract some fans from going. I wonder who will compensate Salford for that (and we all know the answer...)



I can't see why the date of the game has to change. I could see why if both our game and the bulls game kicked off together, but not now.

How about a 10pm ko on Friday Night?

If the game is moved away from your home ground, it’s an outrage.



Does this mean the Union lot take priority when the paymaster plays the tune?

This isn't about Sale,at all.

Good luck to them.

But ,for the RFL/Sky to switch to our game,change the date knowing that there is an existing televised game at our stadium,is scandalous.

All they needed to do was avoid our fixture and avoid embarrassment and disastrous PR.

We will look back at this,smile,and say that was the nadir.

Leigh???



If you can't play on your own ground, you should forfeit the game...well, ok the game game should be at Wakey.

We can play at our own ground on the original date.

The people changing the date are the ones causing the embarrassment .

I don't know whether it's the Stadium management's fault or the Union bods who decide the fixtures but surely the sensible option would have been to have Sale playing away when we are at home to avoid any clashes. Not rocket science.

We weren't meant to be at home, though. That's the point. This issue isn't actually down to Sale, they scheduled their fixtures around ours. Sky have suddenly decided, five days before the fixture, to move it to another date. Sod all this "Sky pay us good money so we do as they say" nonsense, this just shows the utter contempt they have for match going supporters. Do they not realise that some people may already have other plans for that day? Do they think people have nothing in their lives but rugby league? Not that it matters, they only care about the 'product' for television audiences. Awful.



They've made a mockery of professional football (but the Premier League is the greatest league in the world and people all over the globe tune in, so who cares if people have to travel from Manchester to Southampton on a Tuesday night) and they're well on the way to doing the same to rugby league. Regardless of where the game is played, if it's not on Friday night, I reckon I've already watched my last Salford game of the season. Thanks a lot, Sky.

was really looking forward to coming to see the new stadium as I don't tend to get to many away games but was going to make sure we got to this one play offs or not.

can they not delay the kick off time as its not like your a million miles away from Wakefield is it where the majority of fans will come from

I think there is a case compensation, from Sale and Sky Sports for this ridiculous state of affairs. I was really looking forward to checking out your new ground too. Oh well, Leigh it is then.

This sort of thing only ever seems to happen to Salford.

I don't think its that simple? A complete change to the pitch markings would be required, the possibility of a full house for Sale 10,000+ leaving the ground and around 5000+ RL fans arriving would be a logistical nightmare, the corporate hospitality of around 700 Sale supporters being asked to leave early and another say 400+ RL corporate hospitality supporters arriving would be impossible for the stadium company to manage, especially with such short notice, the change over of crew from ESPN to Sky? All sounds impossible to me

I know people are slagging Sale here, but they have done nothing wrong. I dont see how Sky can change a game when they have no venue for it. Sale have fit their fixtures around ours and have the stadium we rent too, booked for Saturday.



We should play Friday night and if SKY want to broadcast it, they should move their current Friday game to another day.



Asking us to go to Leigh or even move to Saturday at such short notice is totally unfair and unrealistic.



If Sky can start to dictate fixtures and venues, god knows what the future holds.
