oh what grounds could they (the condems) stop the development?

The condems are cutting back on things they will spend on in the future this project is funded by the council who have already allocated there share of the money and peel who as a private company will also have allocated there share before putting in the planning application.

Ps
if you put condems in google spell checker the first option is condoms?

Not to mention the £4m that the NWDA put in for the remediation, that would be wasted.

Has anyone been on the Advertiser or M.E.N article on their websites? Some of the negative muppets on there make me laugh!

I gave up reading on the MEN after a bit mate, I personally am optimistic about it being built and think it will happen as you say the money invested already is huge, there's just a niggling what if in the back of my mind.

Well they are f**king the country while they are protected.

its a shame their parents didnt use them

Well they're all mates aren't they.

that depends on if they both dont mind being ribbed now and again

You lot wanna be carefull,they'll send the boys round in a Jiffy!

I can't help but feel that the nasty party have used the Lib Dems as something of a Trojan horse.

Call me Dave goes off on Holiday leaving Little Nick to announce all the nasty cuts to Winter fuel payments etc, so Dave can then say it was "them that did it"

Well, we now know that finance won't be a problem. There was a Swinton fan on the Radio Manchester phone in yesterday. I didn't quite catch everything he was saying because he was so bitter that just listening to him made my cheeks suck in, but he reckons Swinton are moving to the Willows next season, and that this is how Salford will fund the new stadium. It's a fair point. That £20-30 a week could make all the difference between a 12,000 off-the-shelf type stadium and the iconic 20,000 capacity one.

more bitter than a truck load of limes

that is not an image of a twenty thousand capacity stadium , I take it that is phase 1 with twelve thousand, phases 2 and 3 to follow in 2082

i wish they would just build the whole bloody thing non of this phase crap , if this is the 1st phase it looks a joke one big stand an 3 little ones , other clubs will just think oh you got half a stadium couldn't afford to build the other!

Well.... if it ticks the boxes.

There are other clubs out there who's futures are in the balance because they don't have the prospect of a big stand and 3 little ones.

Who cares what other clubs or other fans think ? This will be the same brigade who think it really matters how many fans people take to away matches.

I'm just being ' picky ' , dont take me on

, Only problem you might have is lack of atmosphere , if the bulk of you go in the standing area it could end up a bit ' flat '

We have a great stand at The Willows... The Shed... and we can't seem to create an atmosphere in there these days... so what would it matter ? It doesn't matter what the ground looks like... you create your own atmosphere... something we aren't very good at these days if the truth be known.

I am and as are many of us as you well know mate, it requires buy-in from the other Shed dwellers. Many are willing but the k.nobs have tried their best to ruin it, but the main issue is, there's nothing to get excited about on the park, it's give and take, some days you get the feeling the players can't be bothered as soon as they enter the field and that’s when fans switch off.

Im with LF and KOTS on this one, to get it going you have to buy into it and possibly look like a bit of a tool at times if you float a song and it crashes n burns, stand there look "too cool for school" and you then cant moan about how rubbish the atmosphere.

The Shed the spiritual home of salfords red army it aways will be, but there is bit of "red army" in all of us, to be honest some of the best atmospheres created by us the fans have been on our travels,there has been some belters at home so for me the venue is irrelevant in many ways.

In the new stadium we'll be making new memories both on and off the field so that should rev us all up to get it going again

I know this could have been mentioned in the many previous posts so I apologise.

With the club not owning the new ground would we stand to make anything from the advertising hoardings or even more appropriately the naming rights to the stadium itself?

Seems to me if not that we could stand to lose a constant revenue stream, doubt it's a great deal but in RL every little helps.

Will the Traff still continue to be our main shirt sponsors when we are in effect in a ground they co own anyway? seems to me to be a little pointless them using the shirts to sponsor a location you'll be able to see from the ground.

It says on the reds facebook page that we have been granted planning permition for the detailed planning stage of the stadium and says there will be a press release and photo's of the stadium to go with it, does anyone know when this is going to happen?

You don't mean last weeks press release following the Planning meeting do you?

He does. That update is from last week.
