Lot's of money has been/is being spent on a delightful fantasy that won't happen. Remember Blackpool and their drawings of floating stadium? Pipe dream. You can't really compare that with a project with years of work, several planning applications, public inquiry, consent, formation of joint venture company, council chamber agreement, and tenders for the work.

For what it's worth. Whilst I applaud the club trying to improve crowds, I think that the original release on this "stadium building party" showed that the club still haven't learned the lessons from previous false dawns. As much as I am very confident that a stadium will rise on the Barton site, unless someone is 100% sure that work will be starting on site in the next two weeks, then they shouldn't be shouting about it.

At least you have acknowledged the many false dawns and the way in which the club is treating the fans as stupid. The Salford club cannot make any announcements because it is not a contributor to the scheme. Only when those putting the money in make an announcement can anything be taken as credible.

I've met some pillocks in my time ............ however, I've yet to meet this one.

What on earth do people such as you glean from this sort of approach

I'll have a [i'pound to a pinch of salt' [/ithat you love talking politics in the pub, and bore the ass of everyone around you whilst doing so.

If the stadium does go ahead then fine, if not, just how elated will you be



Perhaps you should focus all your energies on something more productive.

Chill

What's hard for you to comprehend here? Salford isn't putting anything in to the development, so how can they continue to pump out press releases claimng things are happening when they aren't? Watch how you will all scream and blame the Tories when the NWDA is scrapped.

You aren't putting anything into the development either, but you seem to be able to constantly, repeatedly continue to pump out drivel on here claiming things aren't happening when they are.

Ever thought that no-one cares what you think?

Pin money spent by Peel to lever other projects. Waste of council time and resources on something that isn't going to happen. Just ask yourself if it is so viable, why hasn't Peel simply built it? They are the experts after all, look at thei portfolio. Fact is it needs council money because it isn't viable to build and Peel cannot justify the investment.

As has been stated on another thread - You are Karen Garrido and I claim my five pounds!

Popped to the Trafford Centre today and guess what.................that's right the stadium site is barren wasteland. Nothing happening at all. No plant, no workmen, ground untouched for years.

Can you imagine how excited Scanners would be if there was a press release saying that the stadium wasn't going to be built?

He'd abuse himself so hard he'd end up pulling it off!?! :}

Ok, the stadium will be built. if it wasn't going to be built would there have been contractor adverts in major construction magazines back in Feb?

I know we've had false dawns several times about this build but these things happen.

It could be worse! Take the Sydney Opera House, it was completed 10 years late and cost 14 times what it should have. Yet, it was finished and now it is one of the worlds most iconic buildings!

We're 10 years behind as well are we not?

Its probably longer than 10

As long as it doesn't end up costing 1400% of the original price

Salford aren't paying a penny so what does that matter????????

why do you care?

Scanners, I consider myself to be a person of fairly decent intelligence, capable of taking part in constructive, healthy, well-informed debate. However, there are times when you come across people in life who are so stuck in their ways that having such a debate with them is impossible. No matter how you, or others, put their arguments and viewpoints across, no matter what evidence is presented to them, the same response comes back. "I'm right, you're wrong." An attitude like that means that there is only one way to truly put across your own viewpoint and opinion in a manner befitting said person. I know it means that the only comeback after using this method is usually "see, you don't have a valid argument, you've just proven me to be right" but I feel justified in this instance, knowing that this methodology is pretty damned close to the point.

So, with many apologies to everyone else on here, I shall begin:

Stanners, you're a clueless, inbred, Tory f**king c**t. Do us all a favour and f**k off somewhere else and stop wasting bandwith with your clueless arguments.

Thanks in advance.

You have such a way with words ginge

[size=150Harsh, but oh so fair.[/size

Strange that you haven't actually chosen to present any evidence that supports the continued belief that this stadium will be built.

Do you have a problem with sound rebuttal of ridiculous statemets, with harsh facts to support such a rebuttal? Just ask yourself why the Salford club had to alter it's 'stadium party' press release............and whilst you are at it consider the fact that Dave tarry said 10 years ago that Salford would be in their iconic new stadium in 2003.............

Scanners, please just F##K OFF NOW, you are getting really annoying.

As I said previously, he's a total bore. Ignore, the world is full of doom merchants. He'll no doubt be glued to today's election as well

Scanners has a small part in the Bible, telling Noah that he is an idiot building an Ark in the middle of nowhere.

I strongly suspected as much
