Unfortunately, there's some real anger at the move from a largely greedy mob of London-centric and ultimately bigoted southerners. That said, any Londoner who's dared travel to the north, is generally positive about the move. I say, to the haters, we do not want you. To the open-minded, we welcome you with open arms.

Bunch of narrow-minded southern bellends who think that the world begins and ends in London.

Salford is the city of the future.

Also look at that scouser on there complaining about the Labour government having a hard on for Manchester.

You can't help but feel a little sorry for those moaning Southerners...[/i

As a person with a very varied music taste, I listened to the first concert from the Media Centre on Radio 3: the programme consistently mentiond Salford per se and praised the location. The only mention of Manchester was with reference to rain!

I've also noticed a higher profile being given to the city on BBC Breakfast (even though they're not here yet). In the bacvk end of last week they were at a dentist in Salford, featured a youth football project at Albert Park, and had Chris Packham talking urban wildlife with kids in Pendleton.

Add to that the Dubstep collaboration with the Philharmonic, and the film scores stuff on the red buttom where Salford recieved numerous mentions.

Lets hope the club are able to get match/ticket information to the employees moving into Mediacity.

Arrogant southerners are really annoying. Not too fussed what they think though, the BBC coming to Salford is a great thing for the City, and can surely be a good thing for our Club too.

the dentist was testing for chlamydia, but they did put a positive spin on it, they also reported from a dentist in Bradford, the dental nurse was more interested on how she looked on the telly then the patient in the chair.

The BBC is sh[ii[/ite. You're welcome to them!

What about ITV? Thats coming here too.

Is ITV coming actually to Salford? I thought they were building on the other side of the canal, next to the war museum.

That's the new set for Coronation Street if I'm not mistaken. I think ITV are taking some of the space in MediaCiy as well though.

Indeed.

according to some city fans that too is Salford,

Since starting uni, I've heard "United play in Salford don't they" far too many times. And some of them are far too snobby, and seem to look down on you for being from Salford/up North. Hopefully the BBC move will boost Salford's reputation a bit.

I bet sometimes that's from United 'supporters' as well

Sadly, that's true. Very frustrating!

This morning on BBC Breakfast they mentioned that Blue Peter was filming its final programme today, before moving to another place, they couldn't even say the name, Salford

Didn't say it or couldn't pronounce it correctly? Salford did get a couple of mentions on the final Football Focus show of the season the other week.

Pev, in the prelude to the Blue Peter segment on Breakfast they mentioned the move to Salford on at least 2 occasions.

Pev ...... Bloody Big Bee in Bonnet 'Bout Beeb

When I left at 7:15 the news duo hadn't, but then again they are not moving.
