Yes because that sign's turned Anfield into an absolute fortress this season.

I just think it might give us an advantage when entering the field, not this season maybe but im sure some players underperform when the kop and the rest of the ground is bouncing, the sign is important to build this pressure up imo

the willows is brilliant but i feel we are hindered a little trying to get behind the boys

1) the shed roof keeps the sound in which is good for us but i feel the players dont get the full benefit of the noise and when we are attacking the posts were 40 yards away so after the up n down bounce of the noise its not that loud

2) the northstand is very impressive and large compared to the the rest of the ground, get it a third full and you get a wall of sound effect with away fans their right on top of the try line might trigger the odd error by us.

Hopefully the designs of the roofs will allow the noise to be projected onto the field, nobody has moaned about it so i presume it in theory would work giving us an advantage.

How about a sign that says "This is Salford. Do you want your car minding?"

Yeah that would do so they spend 80 minutes wondering if their car is in one piece rather than being focused on the game

Is the name the Willows being totally abandoned when we relocate?? seems like a massive shame if it is the case.

Good question, do we get chance to name the new roads around the ground? Would be good to have a "willows Road" or "salford Road" or Sir John Wilkinson Way? would be a nice touch

How about David Watkins way?

Anyone notice on the CGI that the stadium had "home of Salford Reds" emblazoned on it across the entrance. Are we going to lose the city part of our name when we move stadium?

I think someone asked the question on Facebook when the video was posted and they said it was just an oversight on the part of the creators of the video.

We could go for the Dai Young memorial garden

Sorry I though that was a link to the club's website article. I was looking at the Buckingham website it appears they built the MK Dons stadium and are currently building Brighton's.

Yeah two really good projects, shame really that ours won't look as good as either of them. Having said that we haven't got a spare £95m that its cost Brighton for their or the £48m for Stadium:mk although cost per seat is still fairly high for £26m only 12k capacity.

I heard this is due to putting in the extra foundations for phase 2 and 3 during phase one. My guess is the following phases may happen when the JV makes profit from the future retail should there be a demand for a higher capacity. Some people are saying there will never be another phase but why go to all the added expense in phase one if they have no intention of expanding it?

Yeah I know the ins and outs mate and I know very, very well the future plans (or not as the case may be) but the cost is still pretty high in comparison to other new stadium developments that have sprung up or are in the process of being. And considering we haven't got a roof that covers the whole stadium, it's actually a very expensive stadium.

Perhaps the 26m figure includes all the associated costs of building a new stadium rather than just the actual phase one build cost. Maybe the 26m also includes phases 2 and 3 of the development and all the associatied costs. I know an extra 4m was spent on the remediation.
I do know where you are coming from though because the general cost for stadia used to be based on a factor of around £1000 a seat. eg 12,000 x £1000 = 12m (Then add a bit on for inflation)

Yes we had ' Leigh Centurions ' signage on our CGI

Yet we still dont have it on the stadium , we asked to relocate something ' iconic ' from Hilton Park , but were refused that as well

1st the Green seats , now they can't get our name right . guys who did this CGI must be from an area where Salford is unheard of ..... Manchester.

.
Yes, Link roads infrastructure, stadium, 2 training pitchs & Pavillion. etc

Foundations on the other three stands for potential Phases 2-3 are in the banking preparations in phase 1

so is there only one road in one road out?

Initially yes from the A57 but I understand a road for non public motor traffic use will be available for emergency service vehicles only. I understand this service road will connect to a sub road of Peel Green road. Future plans are for a new dual carriageway running parallel to the M60 on the Trafford Centre side (Anti-clockwise). This road will run from the Peel Green roundabout with a traffic light turn under Barton bridge into the stadium site and then veering left past the back of the Soccer Dome and linking to the existing roads directly to the Trafford Centre. There will also be new slip road from the stadium site on to the M60 (Clockwise direction)

A couple more CGI's of the first phase of the new stadium below:-

Somebody better get the windows put through on those opposition coaches pretty sharpish!

There are actually quite a few grounds with only one road in and out. Wigan, Leigh, Wembley!! I don't think access to the ground is going to be anymore difficult than at present getting to the Willows.

The original CGI I saw had the corners covered or was this the later phases?

Does anyone recall this and do they have a link.

I recall that the corners are to be added at a later date.
