I can only go off Media City and the Trafford Centre and they both look pretty impressive to me. |

I'd beg to differ on the architectural merit front. Tack wins outright at the TC, and "budget" wins outright at MC - check out the laughably small windows in the residential building, and the lovely Eastern Bloc architecture of the Holiday Inn. The Salford Uni buildling is reasonable. The older Victora building on the Quays and its newer neighbour are also fugly. |

That's exactly what I said when we were down there Sunday morning, infact more than one of the buildings looked like Tirana in the 60's! |

That's your opinion Iain and I respect that. In my view the TC is the most palatial shopping centre I've ever seen either side of the atlantic. As for the holiday Inn surely that design was influenced by a budget from a budget hotel chain. You wouldn't build it to the spec of the Lowry Hotel to charge Holiday Inn room rates it just wouldn't stack financially. |

Typo etc..
It's the Tesco issue that's led to Lancs being called in, not the stadium itself. Wonder if it's anything to do with Tesco donating money to the last Labour administration?
The retail element of our site has already been through a public inquiry for approval and as I've said before, if they forced to through another inquiry it would be spending public money on the same thing again - another inquiry with no opposition to the plans - surely that would be against the ethos of cutting public spending.

So the Condems have been back from their summer hols all of a week and we here of yet more sweeping cuts, the privatisation of Royal Mail, an independent study revealing that the north west will suffer the most from the new governments economic reform policies and now we have Pickles interfering with Lancs CC's stadium redevelopment.
Very concerning!

Absolutely not as that would be bordering on being corrupt. Next you'll be telling me they've been instrumental in getting people's phones bugged..... |

No I drove down the East Lancs before and can confirm that Leigh is still there. If you spell $hit this way you don't have to call Leigh a big pile of dirt you can actually call it a big pile of $hit. |

| At least it doesn't have a high roof on one side with a very low roof to the other three sides or it would look an odd design!
Iconic stadium my ar$e! Yes the council wanted one when somebody else was supposedly paying for it!
No seriously as a supporter Iam grateful to the council for their support with the new 'community' stadium after years of false dawns. |
