Look we all know the supposed new stadium isnt anywhere near happening at the moment, so lets not even talk about that.


If it comes down to the crunch and Salford is told that playing out of their current stadium they will not make the cut, would you want the club to play games at a stadium that is up to standard for the short to mid term if it means the club keeps its place in SL?

United have already said we can use their ground, if it means keeping in Super League no problem really.













[size=59which is a complete fabrication[/size

The obstacle until recently was Peel Holdings getting planning for Port Salford which included the new roads between the stadium site and the M60. They now have planning approval for this which took about 5 years due the complexity of the application.

On a really positive note the MD of Peel put out an article in yesterdays Manchester Evening News saying that they are fully committed to building the stadium. (This is the first occasion that Peel has made any kind of public comment about their committment to building the stadium) This suggests to me that they now know they're close and previously didn't want to commit and leave themselves open to criticism because they knew it would take a long time to deliver.

Let's hope things really gather momentum now and that the club won't be faced with this kind of ultimatum.

We may not have the choice. You never know, the landlord might throw us out!

Reebok Stadium??? not Salford i know but if needs must.

burys ground swinton played their years ago

who is going to travel to bolton for home games

Me - I live in Bolton

LSV? If Leigh go down

Salford will not be in super league next time around, not worth discussing IMO. I love salford, I love your old ground but it's just what I think the RFL will do, I hope something changes. Widnes and Halifax and probably Toulouse are all better placed to be in super league.

The RFL threats are nonsense.
If Salford go down and the stadium is then built Sale Sharks will go in there.
The RFL and everyone knows this and the consequencies for Rugby League in the Salford/Manchester area would be dire indeed.
If by the time the new franchises are being discussed which is two years away, as long as there are at least the yellow diggers going about their business Salford will be fine in SL.
Salford have two years to make it happen.

OK then I will have you an even £100 on it that Salford will be involved in the next Franchise - you prepared to take me on?

If so then nominate a credible third party to whom we both deposit the money.

If Salford are in then I get the £200 and if not you get the £200.

As you seem to be so confident that its not worth discussing I think I have been very fair laying you even money.

Look the stadium isnt happening ANYTIME soon. We all know that.


So do you move and live, or stay and die?

call me mystic meg.

I am sick of hearing all the gossip.

The stadium will be built on contract negioations around the new barton Dock project.

It will not be to the spec as desired and will not be 20,000 seater.

This is why Leigh are buildind their francise bid now.

Next step from RLF to re name Salford to Manchester.

Correct information from City Council & Peel Holdinds.
PS A recent bid for 12 m for the stadium has been recently turned down from Sport England.

RL is not santioned as a development sport in the UK,.

The lack of funding from Sport England is a blow but on the whole your district has had a lot of funding from them for other sports.
Our (Wakefield's) bid to sporting England has been looked on very favourably but that is due to the lack of sporting previsions within our district. mainly due to our v.poor council. although you could say it's not what you know but who you know, as the chairman of the sub committee for the construction of our new ground has also been the chairman of sport England.
FWIW it's not just you thats having trouble with funding Castleford still havn't got funding 12 months after having planning permission.

Sporting provision in Salford there is hardly any, the area has not had Sport England money, only £5000 for an event for schools to support the London Olympics drain on all sports money in the country. NWDA offered Liverpool £12m for help with their new ground after Salford were told you can not have money to develop private sports grounds.
The council have thrown £20m at the BBC as a bribe, which might have been better served going elsewhere. A few years back Rugby Yawnian got £39m from Sport England in the same year Rugby League got £89k, so I didn't expect to get much from them, I know that SE fund Rugby Yawnian development posts in Manchester.

The stadium will be built for 2012/13 and Salford will still be in Super League. Work will begin in the next year. Things can start moving forward now peel holdings have come out in the open.

You are all talking about a stadium that doesnt exist, that has supposed to have been played in for a number of years now......I dont care about this non existant stadium.


WHAT ABOUT THE CLUB?


Would you want the club to play games somewhere else and survive, or get kicked out of Super League?

It depends where we are come the end of next season. If the team is performing terribly and/or no progress has been made, then we should perhaps drop out of SL. Even though it would probably be disastrous for the club.

If they deserve to stay in SL by that time then ground sharing whilst the stadium gets built wouldn't be a problem for me.

There's a lot of what ifs there though...

Don't feed the troll.

If Salford fans care this little about the fate of their club thats find, send them down never to return.


I just wonder how Salford fans feel about the prospect of moving to survive.

We all have to breath to survive as well as move.

It's not the fate of our cub that we don't care about, it's your posts.

Your 'trolling' used to be annoying, then amusing, but now it's just old.

Not giving a sh*t about your boring posts is not the same as not giving a sh*t about the future and fate of Salford RLFC.
