Fraid so.

Mr Wilkinson tonight on BBC Manchester Quoted as saying

" We hope to start building inside 6 months and ' hopefully ' the stadium will be ready for October 2010 '

First bit would be excellent for you and would see you in there for when the next round of franchises are announced around mid/late 2011

Second part

, John , stop trying to ' kid ' your supporters , they like you prefer the truth , they like myself have the utmost respect for you and what you have done for Salford RL over the years

All the best

I live right near the place and nothing has been done much yes they moved a few trees and dug up a couple of artifacts and laid a bit of sand for the fotos but thats it nothing else...

If where not going to be in for mid 2011 tthen do you think they will still be bringing out the thhird shirt to comemorate the willows seeing as we will be at the stadium stiil in 2010

62 Weeks Build - We are talking about Peel here and not 'Bob The Builder' from Plank Lane in Leigh!

we're half way through march, and nothing at all is happening on the site.

loads happening on this site

busiest i've ever seen it.

That would be an incredible achievement on a pre preprepared flat site with good access

It would take 6 months to get to that stage from where you are now

Do you want treating like a mushroom or would you prefair some straight talking honesty ?

Mushroom please - we've gotten quite used to it.

You think they would just come out and let us all now what the hell is happening and when it is going to start and be fininshed so that it will shut everyone up and make everone happy (well not everyone)

That's us ' lower ' league clubs as well except we get our ' manure ' from the RFL

It will be built , when it is built not untill,

as for the next franchiesie, there are a lot worse grounds than the willows,

and as far as i know the following clubs are no further in a build than we are,

celtic, saints, bradford, castleford, wakefield,hull k.r.,

and i think looking at the matches that have been played on sky so far this season , we have also got the best playing surface in the league,

so dont knock our own ground lads, its not the worst in super league by far.

Come the next franchise bid though its not just about stadia is it????

no its not just the stadium,

its a lot more besides,

i could be wrong but i think we are the only club in the league that is not running at a loss, which must us give more points than any other on that point,

but at the mo im more concerned with our on field performance than a new ground.

which if we can cement our postion in the league over the next 2 seasons, will also go towards out application for out franchise.

iv asked this question many times before but no one seems to know the answer. how can any team be running at a loss when weve got the salary cap to dictate how much we spend, dont make sense to me

That only limits what is spent on players salaries - there is also management and admin salaries, transfer fees, policing and stewarding, marketing, rent/stadium upkeep, insurance, medical costs, youth development, energy bills, training kit and equipment etc etc. So when you add up all that it could quite reasonably take up the rest of the income and more.

plus the cost of employing players wives, girlfriends as cleaners/fitness conditioners and executives

talking about hard hats - why is jw wearing one in each photo on a patch of open ground - must be worried about satelite debris ?

Just come back from a game at Craven Park perhaps?

probably worried about flying pigs

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, i'm a Warrington fan but live in the Salford, Manchester Area and hoping to get down when it's all up and running. So the question is, where exactly is it getting built ? I Herd next to the Barton bridge but not getting a clear asnwer, anyone help ?

there is a story on the superleague website about the fact the rfl have been visiting clubs who were granted a licence, who had stadium issues. Anyone got any insider news on if they have visited us and if so how it went?

excellent
