Trust me mate from a personal experiance its going to fly up now, can't wait to see it in october/november time.

I dont think we could have chosen a better place to put the stadium, quality stuff!

I completely disagree. I can't tell you how many times i've wandered across into the second lane by staring out the window trying to get a look. It's going to get worse as the stadium gets built.

The framework will , the fitting out however is a lot more boring to watch

would it not be a good idea if some big sign/banner was visible from barton bridge for all motorists to read....something like......."THE CITY OF SALFORD STADIUM.....HOME OF THE SALFORD CITY REDS" ??

They should do, as i was talking to a lad at work in Manchester and he mentioned about the "sports centre" they are builiding on land near the motorway that has taken away one of his "scrambling" spots.

I pointed out to him that it wasnt a sports centre but the new Salford Reds RL stadium.

The stadium should make it clear to everyone that it is a RL ground and whose it is. Otherwise people will assume its a soccer stadium

There should be a big visible sign saying something like "Salford City Reds - join us here in 2012 - visit reds.co.uk for ticket info"

St. Helens new stadium site is well posted/advertised and it wouldnt do us any harm to do the same.

Haha Same mate, wish you could just stop on the motorway for a proper observation!

They are building it much faster than I thought they would!

not the same firm who were building Halifax

The basic steelwork and concrete steps takes no time at all.

What takes time is the fit out.

I think your stadium will be finished before the end of the SL season. Even if they say its only due to be completed by November.

Anyone know when the steelwork is starting at Saints? Some troll was really boasting on here a couple of months back about the new St Helens stadium being well ahead of Salford's.

I have tried to look on their stadium website on occasions but their webcam doesn't seem to be working. The latest update was about the piling on February 21st and there are no images showing steelwork on the Saints stadium forum.

I know it's totally irrelevant and not a race but I do find it a quite amusing that Salford's appears to be progressing quicker after the poster came on here really gloating about their new stadium being well further on than our's.

Steelwork going up today as scheduled , piccys on RedVee
cant be bothered with a "my stadium is going up quicker than your stadium" arguement myself we both need new homes and we are getting them

Quite true as I said in my previous post it's totally irrelevant and not a race. I was just surprized that a Saints fan came on here and made the effort to boast about something like this. It was childish and a bit like a kidd going na na na na na!

Excellent progress being made. We will be in our iconic stadium before we know it.

Iconic?

Perhaps he's being Ironic?

so we'll be in our ironic stadium. That sounds much better

Glad you said it. Sick of hearing all the rubbish about our "iconic" stadium. Well, I suppose that depends on what you believe the word "iconic" means.

(Not getting at any contributors on here. This is a word used frequently by the club so it's understandable that others will use it too.)

I think the word has since changed to 'Noniconic'

but who cares it's a new stadium in a great location and still looks half decent compared to the tiring old lady.

Agree matey. I would've loved us to have the old stadium we wanted, but I'll happily settle for the new one It's just a shame it's not that little bit different to make it stand out a bit.

Don't get me wrong I think the main stand will look fantastic with all the glass on view from both outside and inside the stadium. It's just a shame that the other three sides of phase one will look a bit naff in comparison.

I think one thing that will make the stadium stand out from others is it's location with tens of thousands of people seeing it from the motorway everyday. A bit like the Reebok but closer to the motorway and on a much busier stretch with an elevated view from the bridge. It will certainly put the name of the club in a lot of people's minds as they pass by.

Cool. One day we may have a profile as high as that of Walsall FC.

Let's hope that if the west stand seats are to be visible from the bridge they get the word "SALFORD" across them.
