Looks rather smart I must admit, although I'll miss the gauntlet that was getting out of the Willows' away end, dodging flying bottles of...erm....bodily fluids :)

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Prestwich - the original heart of Salfordshire

Re: Stadium Developments : Tue Dec 27, 2011 5:03 pm  
I've now had a couple of visits to Salford's ground. First impressions are that it's a world away from the Willows in terms of quality, but doesn't yet feel like home. The West Stand is magnificent, and the conferencing/banqueting facilities are up there with anything I've seen at Old Trafford or Etihad Stadiums - this will no doubt help the club in terms of the corporate income. The downside is that the remaining three stands are pretty bog standard, and not particularly high for viewing. It will take a bit of time to get used to travel arrangements and locations for pre/post match drinks, but the facility should help the club kick on IF they manage the process effectively.

Re: Stadium Developments : Tue Dec 27, 2011 5:14 pm  
I hope you don't experience "The Thrum Hall" factor. Hundreds of little terraced houses surrounding the ground supplying walk-up fans, then too lazy to get themselves to The Shay after the move. The first two years will be critical. Salford need to make sure that the usual regular fans catch the bug and continue to follow their club in this "out of town" stadium. (ie, anything not on their doorstep is out of town to some fickle fans).

Quite right Iain, the stadium is just the tools to work with, it still needs the skills, knowledge and the committment to make it work
