Stadium start before new year


SALFORD bosses expect major develoment work to start on the club's new stadium at Barton to start before the end of this year.

Reds vice-chairman Howard Clague today reveled all major parties involved in the multi-millon pound project are working hard to deliver.

He said: "Our partners Peel Holdings are fully aware of the Salford clubs's Super League franchise bid next year.

"They and Salford City Council are working extremely hard with us in order to make this happen. Everyone involved is fully committed to the scheme.

"Everybody wants to see the Salford club in Super League up there challenging. We are fully expecting work to start on the stadium towards the end of this year and things will then progress accordingly."

Clague has confirmed the state-of-the-art stadium will have a 20,000 capacity.There were plans for a college set-up to be housed within the development but this is now unlikely.

According to Calgue, the priority is very much making ure a stadium is built and fully operational for the Reds.

The vice-chairman addd: "Other developments within the stadium complex will be added in time as we work towards coming out of the economic recession. These have been very tough times and when you look around not many sporting stadium developments have been built lately.

"This is understandable but our own project will definitely take place."

Fingers crossed!

When i see bricks and mortar going down that's when i'll believe!!

YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO.....

thought jackanory had finished

Oh hang on, where have I heard that before?

What a load of !!!

they'll be some seriously red faces when it comes in, believe people

Build it and they will come!

Does anybody know if it's to be to the original design? If not, will new artist's impressions be on show before the build starts?

Lies, damn lies and more lies. But the RFL will believe anything plus you have the 'credit crunch' on your side

Oh, hello down there.

Bitter much?

so far down even light can not penetrate

What, St Mirren Park?

Thats the franchise system for you, probably why we played magic weekend in Edinburgh, maybe its Wilko's next big announcement

As Long as its preserves our superleague status and its better than we have now i dont care what it look likes to be honest

This can't go on much longer.

People have invested a lot of time and money to get to this stage, and no doubt there's still plenty going on behind the scenes that we aren't privy to.

I'm sure it'll come through, but the wait is becoming too much.

I wish we'd kept The Willows upto scratch and could carry on playing there. However, it wasn't to be.

Moses never got to walk the in promised land and he waited a lot longer than we have

Cmon B.B.M tell us

I can just imagine that 1st digger turning up at the site and and the turkey just exploding with pictures of one sole digger driving up and down digging soil up and turning it over, there be hundreads of salford fans armed with shovels getting involved all high fiving the builders inbetween shoveling

.

I could do with a little notice BBM so i can book it off work and go and watch, dont be shy just pm me

Cost you a DRINK

I'll tell you for a half!
