History
Salford City moved to Moor Lane in 1978,[4] but it had been a venue for other sports for many years before; Manchester Rugby Club played there from 1908 until 1969.[5] (Also home Ground for Heys Boys County Secondary School Rugby Teams)

In 2016, renovation work began, which saw its capacity rise from 1,600 to 5,108, including 2,246 seats.[6]

In 2017, the renovated stadium was reopened by Alex Ferguson, with Peninsula Business Services as sponsors.[7] In 2019, the stadium hosted a semi-professional international fixture between England C and Wales C.[8][9] The record attendance at the ground is 4,518 on 13 August 2019, a 3–0 loss to Leeds United in the EFL Cup first round.[10]

Opinion has changed over the years in reygard to Robbo, think he's a decent manager, also he has an interest in non league football, did stand in front of him at a Lancaster always thought woud have been a good fit for our job.

HISTORY BIT

Kersal Priory in the township of Kersal,[1] also known as St Leornards, classed as an Alien priory or hermitage, was populated by Cluniac monks. The priory was dependent on Lenton in Nottinghamshire. Founded between 1145 and 1453, it was granted title by Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester sometime after 1143, became denizen independent from 1392, and was dissolved in 1538. One of the buildings, Kersal Cell, is still extant; a Grade II* listed building,[2] it is now a private residence.

MANAGER

Sean Mark Dyche (/daɪtʃ/;[3] born 28 June 1971) is an English professional football manager and former player who is the manager of Premier League club Everton.

During his playing career, Dyche played as a centre-back, making his professional debut in 1990 and representing Chesterfield – whom he captained and scored for in an FA Cup semi-final. Other teams he has played for include Bristol City, Luton Town, Millwall, Watford and Northampton Town. He was promoted with three of his six clubs. After retiring as a player in 2007, he coached at Watford, including a stint as manager between June 2011 and July 2012.

After leaving Watford, Dyche signed for Burnley in October 2012. During his time there Dyche guided the club to two promotions to the Premier League in three seasons, the latter following relegation back to the Championship at the end of 2014–15. Following the relegation of Bournemouth and their manager Eddie Howe at the end of the 2019–20 season, Dyche became the longest-serving manager in the Premier League. He was dismissed by Burnley in April 2022, after they had performed poorly throughout the season. Dyche then joined Everton in January 2023.
