this was always gonna be a will you wont you get new stadia,we at leigh ave a new stadium but no prospects but you ave to keep faith.

But not 1 to bring bad news but i ave been told by a councillor(sp) that the stadium is a no go and as been for months.

Community stadium as i have mentioned before, when Bill Hinds was leader of the council the Home Office agreed to build a 20,000 seater community stadium in Salford as a thank you for getting permission from Salford council to build Forest Bank Prison to hold convicts from Bolton, Bury and Wigan.
The prison got built but the stadium was overlooked and Bill forgot to bring it up with the Home Office.
I say now to Mr Merry earn your CBE for the people of Salford and go to the Home Office and remind them, shout and get to them to listen to us and get the bribe of the Community Stadium built by the Home Office, all we are doing is asking for the promise to be fulfilled.

i see another fans campaign coming on....petitions at the ready

Two thousand signatures aint going to impress anybody.

get back to your own page, you should be worried where nobbies going

The next round of colleges have just been announced for funding via the LSC - alas, Salford College is not one of them (it was never likely to be tbh due to the fact that the feasibility has only only just been completed).

There is a statement to suggest that any further announcements for the remaining 160 colleges (of which I assume Salford is one) will be deferred until 2011.

thought there was no announcements till july.

a campaign for what keeping the willows or a grovel to the goverment to bail us out either way we wont have enough signitures to get anywhere with your campaign

Out of curiosity how many people knew about this meeting before I posted details of it on here.

Not me i went on your say so.

It was June not July....

Feel gutted for you fans.. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8120809.stm To be fair you would think that you would have been kept updated on this matter.. how long now before someone makes a statement on what is a big moment for you in your history??

so thats it then

no stadium no franchise and players leave,'we're doomed mr mannering doomed'

of course this all seems to be based on the version of events from one fan that made it to the meeting. I wouldn't get too disheartned just yet.

well yet another time when the club have let us down.

yes, how selfish of them not to have prevented the global economic crisis or to have kept control of the budgets of government departments.

what exactly would you have suggested they did differently then?

I think they are more worried that he is staying

stopped all the promising and keeping us in the dark about the whole situation! Do you really think that the club haven't known about this for a while now?

I have to admit that this is poor form on the part of the club in terms of keeping the fans informed..

If he has made this sort of explosive statement at a meeting not directly linked with the club and then this result today seemingly matches the worst fears of your Chairman then you would normally expect most clubs to put something out there.

I'm not sure what the normal method of updating the fans is; by website or radio or paper. In any case there are going to be a few worried fans out there tonight that would like some explanation.

I'm sure the club would like to search around for any spot of hope to tag on the end of this but they need to communicate now I would suggest........ even if it is to dispel this as being untrue..

I cannot believe there is no plan B.

The chances of the stadium being built on the scale it was originally planned was always unlikley.
Perhaps if they hadn't been over ambitious we would have had a small box-like stadium that shared a car park with a supermarket by now.

TBH some people have never got to grips with the fact that Salford is a small club with a really poor support. I admire JW for him efforts to try to create something bigger, but perhaps he was more concerned with his own legacy to the club rather than what it really needs.

It's disappointing, but there should be a plan B as the people involved would have known for some time that this was likely to happen.

Perhaps the club is looking for another funding stream - let's not read too much into this being the anniversary of the Battle of Greasy Grass Creek (Little Big Horn to 7th Cavalry fans).

i have a plan b
me and fungus the muffin man and red devil will go around with strippy shirts on and rob a load of swag till we can buy a new stadium ,
then we will call it the fungus stadium
we will have a part of the ground called the mushroom
that will be the board room
we can keep all the fans in the dark and feed them full of crap
we will sign players past there sell by date
and when we are playing swinton in the local derbys we will let everyone in for nothing ,middleman can be on the board so can the butcher , ave can be chairman coz he is a good fan who talks sense and goes to most games , and anyone else we like , it helps if your mad but thats not really a must


keep the faith

The fans dont mean anything to this club and we still waste are money going we need the club to come out and say what is going on before it gets to all the papers which i am sure wont be far off getting old of this story. They will be a laughing stock then the board

It would appear that most of the fans want to know what is happening regarding the stadiums. Ok, its simple. The stadium despite all the PROMISES that it will definitely be built is not going to happen. (along with the PROMISES of all the big names we are going to sign every year - too many broken promises). Bye Bye Super league and the club will be in serious danger of completely going out of business. Time we got used to it.
