Anyone know what the individual capacity for each stand actually is?

Looking at the pictures

4,000
500
1,000
500

So plenty big enough

The small stand being built now looks really pathetic. Hopefully when clad it will look a little better.
I also notice from the pics that the little stand so far being built also has stanchions along it as well.
Hopefully they are just temporary affairs, because your ground will be really pathetic if there are roof supports every 10 metres along these smalller stands causing the view to be obstructed.

Look again , it is a cantilever design very similar to the LSV , but smaller

Just had another look and you are correct, my eyes are deceiving me. I thought the posts were in front of the terrace, but when i looked closely the terrace is actually stuck to them.

Thank god for that then.

I think it will be just fine, a nice new ground with all the things you need to move forward.

Lets face it that stand looks fantastic, its a bit like Elland Road, all you see of that stadium is that big stand.

Have to say i'd plaster all those stand hoardings facing the M60 with billboards and Salford City Reds adverts, its a cash cow.

The main opportunity will be naming rights on the roof of the small stand opposite the main one , however , how much of that would go to the club will be debatable , normally naming rights are relevant to the profile of the club on TV or in the press , but as we are talking about people driving past , who the actual main tennant is will be less important than it normally would be

I'm no advocate of 'cardboard box' stadiums like Warringtons, but surely with the preparation of the ground etc already done it wouldn't have been too much more expensive to build a bigger stand than that? As said, I doubt the stadium will ever be expanded, and the stand at the moment seems hardly worth the effort.

Does everyone need to constantly moan about everything with regards to Salford? I understand the recent results, but for crying out loud, leave the new stadium alone.

Let's have some f****** joy about the fact we're getting a new stadium and more than likely will get a franchise.

There's too much moaning going on. I'd normally blame the weather, but understand it's been rather pleasant. Cheer the f*** up!!

It might not be that much more expensive if the ground has been prepared, but if its money that we don't have then we can't do it. Plus its got to be ready for next season, that was our promise to the RFL, so its quicker this way. Plus we won't fill the ground, so the smaller it is the more atmosphere they'll be (hopefully).

Oh I don't know If Sale come onboard then I can see these new phases being built quite quickly.

Looks better every day I drive over Barton Bridge, starting to occur to me that with the layout and angle of the stadium if I 'break down'

on top of the bridge I will be able to see a hell of a lot of the game!

Hope the stadium makes Salford a big club and takes you forward the same way it has Wire and Hull FC. (my column on this matter is hinted at on my signature)

Also don't want Sale in, they've been a parasite to Stockport County and wouldn't want them anywhere near an RL team.

I also thought this new stand looks very much out of place next to the big stand. However I have just watched the CGI fly-through on your website and I think when it is done (phase1) it wont look half as bad as some are saying.

got to say when first seeing the design looked very odd with 3 smaller stands but tbh isnt that bad after watching video and just glad salford have got to where they are with the stadium and theres no reason why salford coundt be become a force in super league. with the new stadium obviously next year what sort of crowds do people think you will get next year 6,7k?

"I'm no advocate of 'cardboard box' stadiums like Warringtons,"

I was going to comment on how good the main stand looks, but seeing as our fantastic town centre stadium is being slagged off, I'll just say that the small stand looks stupid, like Crewe Alex's or Accrington Stanley's.

At least our cardboard box will be full.

You realise that he's not a Salford fan, right?

Can I take this opportunity on behalf of all true wire, and rugby league fans to apologise for the idiotic post above.

As a club, your going forward, this is what counts!

Well said mate, I think we'd all prefer new stadiums to instantly have character but they don't. Salfords ground will be state of the art, next to an enormous shopping centre (i for one will be saying to the mrs, you go shopping, im going to the rugby) and just off a major motorway junction.

Good luck to Salford, I hope they really succeed in their new stadium. As for crowds I reckon you'll average over 8k next year. Boost in season tickets and away fans will be curious as well as the new ground bringing optimism for your club.

I didn't quite realise the scale of the main stand till I just spoptted that you can see it from along the canaql near the swing bridge.

It did make me realise what many have said in that there should be signs plastered all over the site about it being not only Salfords new home but also that it is the community stadium for Salford as a whole.

does anyone know if there is a way to walk from the Weatherspoons at the Chill Factore? that would be a brilliant place to maybe go pre game.

looking at phrase 3 the smaller stands and floodlights are all diffrent whys that?

You've answered your own question mate? That is the final stage 3, if we reach that phase the stadium will have a capacity of 20000. Were currently only at stage 1 if the crowds rise we will hopefully reach 3 phase.

but the smaller stands seem as though they have lifted

They will have, as they would have another 8000 capacity added to them. The stadium will open next year as a 12000 seater hopefully it will reach its 20000 capacity in the future.

In what way will it be a ' community ' stadium ?
