I think the funding is now about £2.8b the money made available was because of the mismanagement of the LSC who only had £2.5b to spend but agreed in principal to £5.7b and to think they were in charge of education for over 16s.

they must have been asleep for the maths lessons...

not in my lessons

I have been saying from day one this wont happen its a total f its been a joke from day one

they wouldnt dare pev.

will be in the amature league i take it in three years all the rubbish about its definatly happening i aint going anymore the biggest laughing stock in the game now the club

shut the door on your way out. personally i wouldn't let the league the club are playing in affect whether or not i choose to support them. you'll find plenty of places you can take your red and white bar scarf along to that will welcome another glory hunter

complete and utter joke! If we do get turned away with this funding and dont get a franchise then that will be the end of me going watching us. The club promised us the world but never deliver, i for one am fed up of it!

Let me take people back, when a new ground was first proposed back in 1998 we were going to finance it with a massive casino. Then before we could get planning permission a lot of other sports clubs jumped on this bandwagon and them the Gov held a bidding process and we were other looked, not the clubs fault. Next we decided to fund it with retail space, the Gov then decides that you can not build out of city shopping centres, so that goes west, then came the Hotel, but the recession then kicks in so that idea disappears again not Salfords fault, then finally we get a new partner the college which needs to amalgamate and is told the LSC funding is in place, then out of the blue the LSC over stretches itself and the rug is pulled again. How unlucky can a club get, hopefully this luck will change shortly.
Wakefield are also in partnership with a college which has not got LSC funding yet.

Nail on the head. Still, I think some people are looking for an excuse to pack in going.

Didn`t I see you in Dads Army playing Private Fraser & shouting `

Were doomed`

The hotel if the stadium does go ahead will still be built he said, i am as angry & ed as evreyone over this and yes if we dont get the franchise i will still be there supporting my team but i 100% understand why people will not bother going and who can blame them its a fuking joke,

It’s Sod’s law that we seem to be in coin flipping territory now. It’s pretty dark stuff over the hill; but what worries me more than anything here is that if the truly worse case scenario happened — Salford needing to be run entirely by a supporters trust — there wouldn’t be the support nor enough people with the cojones to step forward and lay them on the line.

yes we all want this stadium to be built and we all see it as the way the club will be moved forward i am just as ed as the next man

if your attitude is if we dont get this stadium/franchise i will not go to a salford game again, I WOULD RATHER YOU PACK IN NOW, i would rather have fans Loyal, Faithful Fans following us home and away than some one who can just pack it in if something doesnt quite go our way

SALFORD RLFC IS IN MY BLOOD AND IT WILL NEVER BE DIFFERENT

i couldnt pack it in just like that!

=redI'LL SUPPORT YOU EVERMORE

The thing I find amazing (if true) is a bunch of residents over the other side of the city get told what will or won't be, and are only interested in the traffic lights etc , whilst this is breaking news to the SRLFC fan who are treated like mushrooms by the club. (I do however apologise if this is common knowledge, but I somehow doubt it)..

Very Upsetting..

Well, they found £60 Billion to bail out some badly run businesses so maybe they can find sme pennies somewhere to invest in education.



Fair point. Swinton's supporters trust has more members than ours

i am sure the club will miss you , what a fan you are , have a good look at yourself , if youwant success go and watch another team ,

Heres an idea.
What about the money spent on bringing the philharmonic orchestra to Salford, or the money wasted on tin pot schemes to re-generate Chapel street,the money wasted on turning everything Magenta...
The list goes on and on.
I know the money comes from a different source for the College, but surely Salford City Council should be helping out here.
We are the Citys only sporting Club and as such they should be directing money to help out.

BTW You never give upon your club.

If i remember rightly the club were supposed to have had everything inplace and the stadium no matter what was happening. firstly now we are all wait for a college to get funding where is peel holdings. Also the date gets put back every week and i heard the other day they were trying to lease the willows gorund after 2011. I have supported this club for years and just getting fed up with the club saying this will happen then it aint. I have said that this stadium would not happen if they were as confident that it was going ahead why no announcement on start date. we need it for 2011 so work needs to start soon. Again the fans dont get to find out yet they expect us to poor are money into a club going nowhere loosing players and no stadium so someone tell me where you see stadium being built then prove it is happening because there is no proof. even john wilkinson does not sound convinceing at the residents meeting.

what i want to know is, do we need this state of the art stadium? whats wrong with us having one like LSV or halliwell jones? yes they are basic stadiums but i like them, you get a good atmosphere and they wont cost £35 million or whatever the sum was to build ours!

I dont care what league were in or where we play i will allways watch salford you dont just become a salford fan you are born a salford fan

great way to start the weekend!!

i need a drink...

Do you?

Thats exactly what I thought, still I live 30 seconds from where the meeting was held so popped along, just found it a bit strange that Salford fans wern't informed
