Leicester FunBus

At the risk of tempting fate, the SSSC will be running a Funbus to Leicester IF we are away in the semi-final.

We have already booked a bus in anticipation of this and will be keeping fingers crossed we do not have to pay a cancellation fee!

Quite simply, there would not be enough time after the Exeter game to organise a coach, especially as coach companies admin offices are not normally open at the weekend.

 Booking will open at 10am on 1st June. Please don’t try and book before this, its first come first served and any bookings received before this time and date will be ignored.

Costs are £25 for SSSC members, £30 non-members, U16 £10. Payment is due immediately you email us and if we are oversubscribed, we will obviously refund you.

Sad News

 

It is with the deepest regret that I have to inform you all of the sad passing of Graeme Bowers.

Graeme was one of the original founders of the Sale Sharks Supporters Club and was well known and well loved by many of you. A regular at Sale Sharks and Sale FC, he was always happy to talk rugby  for as long as you wanted.

He was passionate about the “fans experience”, having visited many rugby grounds around the world. Even in his final weeks he was communicating with both clubs to try and improve things for us all.

Sadly, he missed the tremendous win at Bristol but I am sure he was cheering and shouting from above.

 

The funeral will be 3.15 at Altrincham Crematorium on Thursday 16th January. Then on to Heywood Road. There is no dress code

 

Meanwhile, I am sure you will all join me in passing on our condolences to his family.

 

RIP Graeme – the rugby family is now a missing a great man.

 

Congratulations to Vicky E Irwin who has been inducted to the Sale Supporters Hall of Fame

Last year’s event was a great success, with the highest attendance since the SSSC was established 20 years ago. We are confident that with the Badgers behind us this year will be even bigger and better”.
