Hi all
I might be a little late with this but I just learned that Sale Sharks have changed all their Friday night fixtures to Saturday,my question is "can we all do this"? or are Sale a special case for any reason.
Cheers !
Pretty sure that BT will have a say in which games are played on what day. Sale used to play on fridays because they shared a ground with a football team, sure that is still the same. Primacy of tenure seems to only being enforced on clubs promoted from the Championship,other teams can bend the rules at their leisure.......................

It may have been forced on them but from last season the number of clubs who did not require primacy of tenure in the Aviva Premiership was increased from three named clubs to five unnamed ones. If you want to be the sixth you might have to take it to court.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game
Controversial I know but I love Friday night rugby.
I understand for the fan attending the game it must be a pain. But for anyone who still plays ( or refs/coaches etc) at a handy level can't drink on a Friday (or Wednesday or Thursday for that matter ) Rugby on the telly on a Friday is brilliant.
That would be good! The main reason for not renewing my season ticket is the fixture situation.
At the moment I am more excited about seeing Lenny Henry at Birmingham Rep and the Who at the NEC than missing the home game against Newcastle.
Just to clarify your post, did you not renew your season ticket because you can't do Saturday games? You are saying that you're missing the Newcastle game which is on Saturday

The only football team that regularly plays at the AJ Bell Stadium is Manchester United Reserves/U-21s. The other tenants are Salford Red Devils, a rugby league outfit.
