What when we’ve put up loads of signage to show it’s ours for a few years?
f*ck them peanut smuggling nonces. We’re long out of their pocket and millionaires galore now, stop panicking.
Also heard Davenport Fields is a very possible location for our new megaplex. Grew up in Davenport and spent my childhood playing round there and later lived next to it. We trained there in 96-97 despite dog shit AOTS.
Sure plenty of people will piss and moan it’s good green space. It still will be to a degree anyway.

Good spot! Looks like they're using the eastern pitch, nearest the Sale FC-owned building. The staff picture from Gannon contract article on COWS is also on that pitch. Wonder if there's problems with the pitches on 'our' side? It can only be the fact that the ex sharks pitches have not been renovated due to their imminent departure to the complex next door if so....... thanks (sale sharks for that) your consistent with your treatment of your landlords /partners/property..... i will give you that .... if i have done you an injustice ( bollocks anyway) Yeah that's how I read it. When you look on google maps you can see that the pitches on our side look in bad condition whereas the condition on the Bury(now Sale) side look decent. Would imagine that it's temporary us using some of their pitches until ours are brought up to speed

What difference does it make, we've got somewhere with decent facilities to train on at last, does it really matter that a rugby player has dared to set foot on the same blade of grass as our 'Galacticos' The Sale Sharks fiasco is history, its long gone.....move on, we've a bright new future ahead of us, we've come a long way since the turn of the year, but not everything is going to be perfect. The training facility will need some work doing on it, but we'll get there & in the meantime if we have to share with our neighbours,so be it. The facilities that the Sharks now have are superior to the ones we have moved in to, particularly for physio/rehab of injured players but i'd imagine they'll be more than happy to let us use them if needed

They would have gladly seen us dead, as would most of their rosy cheeked fat headed dickhead supporters.

It’s been rumoured to be there a few months back and having grown up 2 minutes away from those fields I’m sure it is land owned by the church that cannot be developed on although I could well be wrong. I think Mirlees own all that green land, there was talk recently about plans to build houses on it that were met with objections locally, it'd be a shame to lose it to development too. For me the old school land on the Fairway in Offerton would make for a great base for the club right in the thick of a County hotbed. It's been years since I was last on there but ended up there on a recent walk down the river and thought then it'd be an ideal spot for the club to develop. Flowery Field is, as Lee says, under very strict limits on what it can be used for. It's outside the bounds of the old Mirrlees playing fields, which are owned by MAN B&W, the German/Danish conglomerate who now own the Mirrlees Blackstone name and are driving development on the old cricket and football pitches.

They would have gladly seen us dead, as would most of their rosy cheeked fat headed dickhead supporters. It never will be forgotten, but it was back in the era of Kennedy, De Vos & a press officer called Dave Swanton who went out of his way to whip up the ill feeling between both sides...mind you, we weren't helped by being run by a Trust board who didn't appear capable of standing up to them. Sale Sharks now have new owners & its significant that one of the first things they did was get rid of Swanton & bring someone in who was more 'user friendly'. Kennedy was a ruthless business man & couldn't care less who he walked over, but the new owners have ambitious plans to take the club back to Sale, & who can blame them, they've lost a lot of their fanbase through moving to Salford & if we were having to play our games outside the borough, we'd want to return to our spiritual home as soon as we could. Unfortunately they're having to build bridges that were destroyed by an arrogant millionaire who thought he could buy whatever he wanted

The only Sale fans I ever met preferred Edgeley to anywhere else they've played.

You only had to look at the crowds they got compared with Heywood Rd & the AJ Bell. Their fanbase was mainly South Manchester/Wilmslow/Macclesfield/Northwich. They had a direct train service from Altrincham & Wilmslow to Stockport station aswell as the 371 bus that dropped them at the door

I remember Swanton well. An odious little man. That plan to take Sale back to the town of their name involves building a stadium at the end of my road. For all the promises of consultation, protecting the existing sports clubs at Crossford Bridge and involving residents, they’ve gone out of their way to stop residents seeing any plans and have held consultation meetings without any notice or invites to the wider community. I had no time for them when they were at EP and I have less time for them now.

Shouldn't forget as well that they started spouting to the media about potentially coming back to EP, without any basis for doing so, or having spoken to the club or council about it.
They're right arses sometimes.

Apparently they were also considering moving to the Reebok or Gigg Lane - I hope they showed Bolton and Bury more courtesy than they did us before that came out www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.com/sport/amp/rugby-union/25981348
