I'm not one to criticise, but does Salords new ground not have undersoil heating?

No but it has fireworks and a wheelbarrow

Apparently the boys are back in town.

Or a gang of people to move the firework kit?

What a spectacular way to open a multi million pound faclity.

They wait 14 years for a new stadium and the 1st game is delayed by a bloke with a wheelbarrow, only in rugby league!

this is a very poor spectacle

Is the main camera at the top of a crane?

Nice bit of build up play and a decent run by Matty Smith for the first try though!

They are looking at the photos of the C*s pack on the Sky team line up.

I noticed this in the Leigh freindly. The camera is at the top of the massive stand, pointing at the stand with no fans in, rather than facing the big posh stand thats busy with fans.

Standards good considering conditions.

Aliberts a good ref.

Theyd better get busy withthe brushes at half time or theyll have to call this off

Think you're right there.

Lines arn't clear at all.

But what if someone else is using the wheelbarrow?

@GarrySchofield6 Just noticed Steve Simms on the Salford gantry next to Phil Veivers. If you want to keep your job Phil, push him off.

Did Rangi Chase really just donate the £100 to the RSPCA..?

edit: typo corrected.

RSPCA, yes. Wonder if he meant to say RSPCC?

I want to know who the bloke was interviewing him! He sounded like a right toff. A sort of early 80s chat show host, trying to sound a bit cool but still with the old fashioned BBC plum in the mouth accent.

Or even the [url=http://www.nspcc.org.uk/NSPCC[/url?

I reckon he meant RSPCA - good on him!

Sounded like Graham Beecroft-used to be on radio merseyside years ago then talksport.

very disappointing crowd of just over 4000, with 1500 of them from Castleford.

I appreciate the weather will have put a few off, but realistically even if it was a fine day i think Salford would have only got 5500 to 6000 which must be a big worry for them.
They need to get 8k into this new ground, otherwise they are goners

I expect Sale Sharks to wait in the wings then in 12 months time when Salford have gone belly up they will come in and take over the lease of the stadium.
It will then become SHARK PARK

Have to agree. I know the weather this evening is the worst we've had this winter, but this was meant to be Salford's biggest game in years, the dawn of a new era etc...if this is the best they can do they are a Championship club at best.

Anyone else find Salford's firework display a bit, well, crap? Such a good idea to leave the players standing in the freezing weather for 5-10 mins
