Basically there is some disagreement between the developers,construction co and the council over who pays for some of the final fitments and the like

Part of the problem comes down to the lack of take up of the other developments on the site [ so far only the hotel has been built which has been something that we have been pinpointing would influence any development at barton

Yes the thing is built and hopefully we will be able to draw some new and old fans to it early doors

Wether it will be the catalyst to us being able to build up a level of support in NL1 to be successful and possibly at some stage be genuine contenders for a place in SL , who knows

lets be honest,if the rfl did not want a team from Manchester you would not have got a franchise,promised new gound!bollxxxx,whenwe see it being built i hope you theall the best.untill then i feel sorry for all your visiting fans.and before you all start spouting off i lived in Salford for many years and the Willows has always been a poor facility.

If you lived in Salford for many years, then you ought to know it isn't in Manchester. But, even if we ignore your inability to recognise geographical boundaries, your argument is still a crock of 5h1te. Who should have got a franchise in Salford's place? Widnes - a club that's had three owners in as many years and who bankrupted themselves just 12 months ago? Leigh - a club who have spent one solitary season in SL and who delaminated at the end of it?

The Willows is a bit of a dump. But so are Knowsley Road, Wheldon Road, Craven Park and - worst of all - Belle Vue. The state of the stadium was only one criterion by which teams were judged. Salford did reasonably well on most of the others (such as on field performance - did you know Salford have spent nearly as many years in SL as all the other non-SL applicants [iput together[/i?) and were awarded a franchise on merit, not because of some RL conspiracy to keep 'big' clubs like Leigh out.

COME ON PEEL HOLDINGS.

SO PISSING ABOUT AND START WORK ON THE NEW STADIUM A.S.A.P.

I'm sure the new stadium will get built but to be honest it's becoming a bit of a joke at this time.

Let's see some workmen on the site at least before the end of the year.

*RANT OVER*

good post mate

Like it or not but the city of Salford is still with the Manchester metro area and is still attached to Manchester. Move on!

Can't believe big John W is all quiet about this!!!

What a fool or should that be tool!

Salford is in Lanacashire and always will be, just because a few years back they decided to form a new metropolitian in Greater Manchester doesnt mean we are anyway connected there is actually a great divide between the 2 cities boundries known as the river irwell.

Stop trolling and move on pin d*ck!

Probably waiting for the recession to hit hard then hire workers cheaper than they should be

Theres actually more activity/work happeneing on the opposite side of the M60 behind the swinging bridge where I presume the new hotels going????

"Like it or not but the city of Salford is still with the Manchester metro area and is still attached to Manchester. Move on!"

If Leigh can claim some form of independence from Wigan, if Widnes and Runcorn are separate, if Leeds and Bradford are clearly apart - then so are Manchester and Salford.

Please go on the Oldham/Rochdale/Leigh/ Wigan/Swinton sites and tell them that they are Mancs as well (your logic says they are) and leave us alone.

Oldham's ground is closer to the Manchesterboundary than the Willows!

But did they include the population of Salford and Manchester in thier Licence application or just Salford ?

Not another pin d*ck!

Please can we snub the tired Salford in Manchester argument and stay on topic.

Well did they or did they not ?

Highly unlikely as none of them submitted a bid.

Ok , any news on the stadium ? [ the one you will be playing the 2010 season in

..... in your NL1 stadium

With your SL team





























































































See you there

To be fair though, Salford do have a Super League team - not sure why that's so amusing.

Aye if you say so

What you do have is a team playing in SL

Deary me.
