Hi,

I work for Stockport Council and we sometimes get literature delivered with our monthly payslips.

With this month’s, we received a glossy leaflet from Sale Sharks offering discounts of up to 25% to Council employees for their game against Samoa.

A couple of things occurred to me. Firstly, would it be worth us investigating using this publicity opportunity ourselves? I’m not suggesting a similar employee discount as this would no doubt upset other fans, but it might be worth looking into costs etc.

Secondly, I wondered if there might be an ulterior motive in Sale trying to encourage support and raise their profile within the Council.

Most County fans feel the Council should support the Club as we are a traditional Stockport team. It occurred to me that this might be one way Sharks could be trying to demonstrate their commitment to the Borough and the Council which they could point to during any future discussions.
