I think a director of the club should know better than to read (or admit to) and react to the views expressed on message boards like this one.

Whether a Director should admit to reading this is debatable,but it does not change the basic fact that the Club should be telling us more about the latest position on the stadium.

I agree that they should not pay much attention to the 'ranters' when they slag off whoever is flavour of the month but this is different.
We are simply requesting more information.

It's along the same lines as "database collapse due to demand at midday"

Selling fast and demand = about 4 supporters.

Wouldn't mind, but I've not even had owt in the post about renewing. Still, if the staff are that busy...

If enough people want answers, and there's a fan's forum held, I'm confident the question/s will be asked. I'm less confident that anything written on here would ever be addressed by a director of the club. If it were, I'd have to stop poking fun at Leigh's board!

You only come on our board because nobody talks to you on here

Salford can't tell anyone very much, because it's completely out of their hands. The developers are putting in all the money and it's their project.
Reading round what's been said on various forums/newspapers etc, I can't see Salford getting a new ground of any sort.

Where this leaves them is anyone's guess, because one thing is for sure they cannot afford to stay at Weaste.

It's true, I don't monger enough doom to fit in around here...




That's it settled then. Who needs official comment, this guy's clearly in the know.

That's a hell of a conclusion to jump to. can you link to any reliable stories that would suggest that?

Steve Simms was asked the question last night. Last he heard, Peel are negotiating to take over the reigns from Red City Developments vis-à-vis buidling the new stadium on the allocated land. The stadium design won't include a hotel or the conference facility. Whether that means the structure will be much different, he didn’t know. He is aware that John and Howard have sunk a considerable amount of money into the project.

More worringly how will the lack of hotel or conference facility affect our potential to bring money into the club?

How about the Race Course and Port which will be part of the stadium buy in with the council, but Steve did sait would be used most of the time Concerts and that sort of thing, but Sale can not have the land, the only use for the land is for a stadium.
Unless Labour are voted out and the Worsley Tories get in then the stadium will not be built,

What does this word mean Pev???

Is there a plan to have Manchester United reserves using the new stadium? Or was it just rumoured?

It would bring it much needed revenue to the club.

PIPO its the "D" "T"s typing in a dark room and missing the correct key.

sait = said

Current options are for either 12 or 20 thousand stadium. Project Director at Peels want 20 & to be on site by next summer once the legals have sorted the land issue.

I'm led to believe that the 12k stadium idea has been thrown out, as the Council will only allow a 20k stadium to be built on the site. But yeah the land issues are holding things up a little at the moment but once they're sorted it [ishould be[/i all systems go.

what land issues? I thought all these had been sorted with it being council owned land?

so did I

It has been put somewhere on this board. It's just something to do with the name that the land is registered with. The land has to be changed from Red City Developments name into Peel's name as RCD no longer exist, so it's just a legal matter.

So the Council do own the land, but the registered developer has changed.

more money for solicitors

Is that a demand or a comment?

Always amazes me how simple things like this drag on.... cross out Red City Developments (or Tipex), and write in Peel Holdings.... Job done... get on with it.
