We should get the Weatherspoons in Eccles renamed in honour of Wilky and make that the regular pre match haunt, good cheap beer, half decent food and the bus and tram stop right outside.

Yes thats right, it will take approximately 6 months to clear, level and treat the contaminated land and then 14 months to build it.

That is cutting things very very fine, do we know if all the other facilities around the ground are being built at the same time or is the ground the priority and then the sundries when they have finished. Does anyone know if the access road they are bulding at the fork in the A57 just Warrington bound side of Macro is anything to do with the construction or is that for the container/port development?.

But Bigpev just remind people who called the stadium plans in for a public enquiry,
lets see now, he had some mock tudor columns built at his home in Hull at our expense, he is assisting Hull KR at present oh and he had a slight problem with his secretary whilst we were paying for their night out while our stadium was held up for months and it landed the Red City team with a hefty bill.

Who was it now ah yes John Prescott Esq the Right Honorable one at that.

Good to see you're getting a LSV stadium

, seriously I hope it works out for you better than us , I did notice that it is to be a ' community ' stadium

Anyone?

Remediation work, I heard to start then, getting the area cleared for building

pleased to hear that you have the green light for the go ahead

V good luck with the stadium, when you lot laying the 1st brick then it will be reality

Great news, onwards & upwards!!

Really good news for Salford RLFC and Rugby in general.
Pleased for you guys and look forward to going to the new ground.

absolute brilliant news.Will be sad to leave the willows (memories and family history as im sure every salford fan has) but we have to move forward and hopefully it brings some very happy times for us all.
I also hope it may bring some confidence through the club too knowing the long term foundations can go ahead.Hopefully a win on sunday

and then on from there i say.I raise my glass to everyone and everything to the club

cheers everyone

No, that's going to be one of those sites where there's skips for dumping household waste

Great news for the club, hopefully will see you retain your SL licence.

Gotta say, it's nice to hear the positive responses from fans of other teams.

Cheers for the messages!

so will be the City of Salford as the title of the ground
but how about the stands
the David Watkins Stand
the Gus Risman Stand
and how about Colin Dixon Stand

The Neil72 Arena surely?

if its not our stadium....I doubt we'll have any choice over what the stands are called etc.

Good news something is happening though! Lets hope this keeps us our franchise!!

We'll just call them what we want.

The shed is really called the Popular Stand, who uses that as a name?

Some people know it as 'The Chicken Shed'

Or any choice over who plays there as well

Great News for you guys.. I hope it can really kick on Rugby league within the Salford/Manchester area.. Its impossible to invest in a team when only a few thousand turn up each week. Hopefully the new stadium will have the same effect for you as it did Warrington when they moved to the HJ...

Well done Great news for both Salford and Rugby league..

Will the council/Peel pick our first team too?

They might do a better job!
