Heywood Road (currently known as CorpAcq Stadium for sponsorship reasons)[2] is a multi-use rugby stadium in Sale, Greater Manchester, England, which has been the home ground of rugby union side Sale F.C. since 1905.[3] It was the home ground of spin-off professional club Sale Sharks until they moved to Edgeley Park, Stockport, in 2003.[4] Sale Sharks Women use the stadium as their primary home ground in Premiership Women's Rugby.
From the 2016 season, it has also been home to Swinton Lions who play in the RFL Championship. The move of Swinton to the ground meant that the General Safety Certificate had to be renewed. In September 2016, a report by Trafford Council to the Safety at Sports Grounds Sub-Committee recommended that Heywood Road's capacity be reduced from 5,400 to 3,387 for safety reasons.[5]
