Sale Sharks Rugby Club, via a company called Crossford Futures, has announced proposals to relocate from the AJ Bell stadium to a new stadium (up to 12,000 seat capacity) to Crossford Bridge. This site is home to Sale Harriers where we provide athletics facilities and coaching to hundreds of children every week.
Whilst Crossford Futures have yet to present any plans for the site, we have serious concerns that Sale Harriers, who have been based at Crossford Bridge for 70 years, would be devastated by the development of a rugby stadium.
We intend to defend our club against any plans that put our future at Crossford Bridge in doubt. If you share our concerns, we encourage you to express them through the consultation process at www.crossfordbridge.co.uk (22nd June – 13th July) and by writing to our local Councillors and MPs:
Andrew Western (andrew.western@trafford.gov.uk)
Leader of Trafford Council
Barry Brotherton (barry.brotherton@trafford.gov.uk)
Trafford Priory Ward Councillor
Mike Kane (mike.kane.mp@parliament.uk)
MP for Wythenshawe & Sale East
Graham Brady (altsale@parliament.uk)
MP for Altrincham and Sale West
We trust you will all support us in remaining at Crossford Bridge for at least another 70 years.
Nigel Breddy
Chairman
Sale Harriers Manchester
