Stadium
The match takes place at the Salford Community Stadium, also known as the AJ Bell Stadium for sponsorship reasons, which is one of the better medium sized Rugby League stadiums in England.
The ground features a mix of seating, terracing and corporate facilities across four stands, although there is one clear main stand featuring all the corporate facilities and most of the home fans.
Capable of hosting around 12,000 fans when full, the ground may not be packed to the rafters for every match, but it has still developed a reputation of having a great atmosphere thanks to the small but passionate group of fans that stands behind the sticks.
Over the years, the ground has hosted a number of international Rugby League test matches, non-sporting events and also plays host to other sports.
Location
The match takes place in the city of Salford, which has all but merged with the nearby city of Manchester and which is just down the road from the town of Leigh.
It is in the sport’s traditional north of England heartlands and a region that still remains a hotbed of the sport.
