MATCHDAY INFO – ASM Clermont Auvergne

We are back at the AJ Bell after two weeks away! Here’s everything you need to know ahead of kick-off this Saturday (Dec 18) for our first home Heineken Champions Cup fixture this season.

Sale Sharks v ASM Clermont Auvergne, AJ Bell Stadium, Kick-Off: 3:15pm

What’s On?

Turnstiles open at 12:45pm. You can arrive any time after this and soak up the Christmas atmosphere!

We’ve got lots of festive fun in store for the Sharks Family, starting with our Oompah Fusion Band belting out all the season’s classics with a modern twist. There will also be free selection boxes for the first 300 kids to arrive at the stadium courtesy of Santa Sharky & Sharkira, as well as free Sharks Christmas hats for all the big kids in the crowd.

Finally, this year we’re proud to be supporting the Toy Appeal, which ensures children living in poverty across the North West will get toys this Christmas. You can support the cause by bringing a NEW unwrapped toy to donate at the stadium on the 18th, we’ll be giving away a free Sharks gift to all those who do, as well as giving you the opportunity for a selfie with one of the Sharks squad.

Travel & Parking
