Mrs G went to look at the site today and took a few piccys with her phone

you should just be able to make out bags of something in the distance and probably the "submarine " shaped thing






and looking towards the bridge over the canal


and looking exactly 180 degrees you can see how they have chopped the trees and bushes

GF, you should have gone to Specsavers, thats a Rover, not a submarine shaped thing, sheesh

POETS day piccies from myself

Looking towards the St.Helens suburb of Billinge



The shrinking mucky mountain and the soon to be demolished substation



Laying the drains near Peasley cross lane close to were the East stand (away end) will be



The site compound now devoid of the heavy rock grinding kit



Brown pipes and white bags.



The big grey submarine which i understand is to separate oil from water. Therefore minimising pollutants getting into the water system



Work going on near the corner of the East and south stands



levelled land, ready for the Tesco car park



The Stadium/Tesco roundabout has claimed a victim

Oh that's the submarine!!

White paper bags and submarines eh?

I bet there was money in the paper bags, to smooth over the authorities and the submarine is to sail down the canal to destory Wigan?

Bloody hell, are those pedals? That push bike must have been going some speed!

Jeremy Clarkson comes back for one more attempt at a successful power slide in his van.

First one went wrong.

is tht allowed under the cap?

Well, it is the [icommunist[/i cap isn't it?

That was a written off cable cars taxi according to the cabbie that picked me up last Friday.

That roundabout is too fast and damn dangerous.

or the cabbie was driving too fast more like! the 40 mph limit is a limit not a minimum speed!

How can a roundabout be too fast? It doesn't move.
The driver was driving too fast.

Bloody car drivers

Look on the Salford board: steelwork already going up on their stadium. What's taking so long with yours?

Bigger stadium and project for starters.

Steel will be arriving onsite from the 7th March. So we should see the South stand start to rise next week.

Just hope they get round to fixing the bloomin webcams, in time for that moment.

Um, we started later than them.

About 7 years wasn't it

"The City of Salford Community Stadium is the future new home of Salford Rugby League Club. Salford City Council formed a joint venture company with Peel Holdings to develop and deliver the £16 million stadium, which will form part of the overall £26m development of the area currently being developed in Barton-upon-Irwell.

Initially the stadium will be built for a 12,000 crowd but it will be extended to accommodate up to 20,000 over time

It will have built-in offices, player facilities, hospitality boxes, concessions, community resources, two community outdoor sports pitches and will be available for business and public hire.

So they are currently building a 12,000 seater stadium with offices, changing rooms, burger vans, hospitality boxes, a couple of spare rooms and separate all weather pitches.

How is that bigger than an 18,000 capacity stadium with all that bar the two all weather pitches?

Your getting desperate now.

Even on a stadium thread jaybs and Paul Youane attempt to troll. It's pathetic really.

This weeks piccies

The old substation and shrinking mucky mountain



looking towards were the south stand will go



the mysterious white bags



looking towards what wil be the pitch area. There is lots of fencing round hear to separate the different parts of the construction project



The site is also looking a lot tidier, most of the heavy mud moving appears to have been completed.



Cleared vegetation on both sides of the linkroad, where the new pedestrian bridge will be built, that leads to the stadium.



Facing the opposite way you can see how close this bridge is to the town centre

There is now a short video of the demolition work on the RedVee Goodby K R thread.

Yeah I have seen it,I must say I got quite emotional watching it.

Well to cheer you all up , our roving reporter Mrs G tells e that there are two cranes putting steelwork up for Tescos......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................and ONE appears to be putting up TERRACING on the Stadium !!! its happening folks !
