A less strong side than last season when Sharks parachuted quite a few players into the Sale team - they're a lot less in danger this season. Williams has been more involved at Sharks since impressing in the Premiership Cup. Leota is a danger and Mulchrone is a pretty good player but for me it's a game where we should get something. Best of lucj for everyone travelling as there is not much cover, the beer was expensive and they only had Tetley.

To be fair, there is a covered stand running about half the length of the pitch and opposite the main entrance. Not brilliant facilities but a proper rugby club.
Driving up in the morning and staying in Manchester Saturday night. Packing lots of waterproof gear as I think we will need it. Our wives are coming but think we are completely mad. Can’t do enough for a great club.

The MSA have a coach load going up to so you’ll be in good company!
Oh dear westcountrymose....game up....your'e a friend of Dennis the Menace. You should gave left him to be mischevious in Devon!! Safe journey. Pubs......google the many micro breweries and real ale bars now open in Mancie and area. Wished I was with you, now! Not quite my 5 points for 5 pints result mantra but not a bad replacement activity in the circumstances. Good times!

Thanks guys. Surviving on a diet of Holts and Fools Gold bitter interspersed with some food to soak up the ale. Mrs WCM willing to guide me home as usual. The Bristol Olympus Volcan bomber engine in the IMW was worth the effort. Lowry tomorrow and perhaps a couple more ales to celebrate. Up the Mose!

Oh dear,Believe we're now down to play Sale away 22.2.20. (Give them 2 points back!!). No doubt Comms will confirm. By the sound of previous commentary on the state of the pitch last Saturday, will much have changed by next Saturday? Bearing in mind the horror 7 day weather forecast ahead of us?!
That might be interesting given that Swinton Lions are at home in the Challenge Cup and it is a groundshare... Haven't heard anything official yet, but believe Sale are pushing for March 14th.

My take would be....squeezing in the Camb (a) then Sale (a) on The following Thursday still gives us a weekend free to get ourselves in order for the potentially tougher,Club (a) and DMP (h) and, crickey followed by Chinnor (a) Richmond (h).....etc......don't come easy in this Division. Interesting, usually 2pm Sat ko's (as Sale fixtures are) mean clubs with no floodlights, so a night game is a bit strange(?) .....car lights time !!!
I like the idea of 2pm KO's still lunch timish and plenty of afternoon post match to take on other responsibilities and activities.

Good luck getting cars up to pitchside at Heywood Road!
Of course, my "guru" in put takes no account of Sales desires! The Thursday game gives them 2 homes on the trot.. Chinnor previous Sat, then us midweek and a break before, is it Richmond away. (I'll be carrying with my 'flights of fancy' while both Clubs professionally go about rugby business)- RSS Rugby Starvation Syndrome is real!!
