I have 4, but firstly, I don't drive clockways over Barton Bridge much, and seconly, it's a wee bit dangerous driving and taking photos at the same time, and thirdly, from the passanger seat of a car, the barriers are in the way. It needs someone with a camera to either "break down", or go over in the cab of a HGV or coach.
Oh, and starbug - are you feeling ok?  |

I appreciate the motorway is a bit of a no no.
However are there not other beauty spots to take pics from?
"Man in Madrid" seemed to know were to get some decent pics from back in November on this site. So presume there is a road or footpath that passes near the site. |

The photo in last weeks M.E.N. was taken from in the cab of a HGV, apparently doing it every month now courtesy of Bill Mc(club photographer).

Chairmaker ours is a proper state of the art building site,well fenced off,floodlit and patrolled so any access unless authorized is not allowed.The footpaths go around the site but the fencing is a good height.
We did have one supporter,Barton Flyer I think who until not so long ago had access to a light plane from where he took some excellent aerial photographs which are posted somewhere on the site.
They appear to be starting to drill for the piling part of the construction at present. |

Not asking you to break in. Thats committing an offence. However surely there are gates were vehicles enter, were photos can be taken, or higher bits of land were you can look over any fence?
This is what i do when taking pics of Saints site.
One of you could also be brave and ask the site manager if you could take some pics on behalf of the Scarlet Turkey.
At worst he will say NO, but he may say YES. |

The nearest piece of land higher than the fence is probably Rivi' Pike... |

Spooky! I've actually just passed the stadium site, and took a couple more photos - I'll try and upload them later today if I get chance.
Loads of activity, piling rigs, excavators, etc. Just wish I had a better camera. |

Just to balance things up, in Bilko opened his Salford vs. Wigan match report with this:

At the very end of the site, just before the layby rejoins the A57, you'll see a White wooden fence - go through the opening, and follow the footpath for approximately 100 metres. The footpath rises, and the high wooden fence on your left dips down, so you get a half decent view into the site. Not ideal, but the best I have found. |

Heres an interesting web site that will come in handy when your new ground is built
www.walkjogrun.net/
Its designed for runners to map out jogging routes and work out how far they are running, however its equally usefull for working out how far you are from the nearest pub when the new ground is built.
Ive checked out if its feasible to park on the trafford centre then walk to your new ground. Its around 1.6 miles which takes about 35 to 40 mins. So doable though not ideal.
Wonder if the club and Trafford centre will do a deal with Salford re running shuttle buses to and from the ground back to the Trafford centre. The aim being to get fans shopping and drinking athte TC pre or post match. |

| OK, couple of the stadium site from today (sorry about the quality):-
First one is the full site-

Next one is another of the full site-

Third is a close up of one of the piling rigs-

And final one, taken at the Wigan friendly on Sunday - and quite apt, I believe - is the sun setting over The Willows (I'm gonna miss that place!)-

| cheers for that, nice to see a bit of nagging works 
Your stadium looks more advanced than ours because you can actually see all the round concrete piles.
Also interesting your piles are concrete, whereas the ones at Saints new stadium are not.
Ours seems to be using Vibro piles, this basically consists of a massive vibrator that makes the earth move, then injects material into the large gash, to create a genuine hardcore experience. |
