I remember when the stadium was first mentioned it had a really strange design with one stand being huge and it looked amazing! Are those plans still in place or have the sensible brigade made it 'more efficient'?

this image isnt the exact final design.
Nowhere near as pretty as the original but at least it will be built!

True but still a better looking stadium than Wigans!

Reckon your move into the new stadium will boost attendances towards 10k? I honestly think it will, it did for Hull F.C.

I'm no expert on these things, but looking at this document, it looks like there will be seating on both sides of the pitch and standing behind the sticks. Would be disappointed if that was the case.

Even fecking magenta would be better.

As much as I love standing down the side of the pitch, right now I'll settle very kindly for any terracing and lets get it built!

I think this is of much more significance to Salford than other sports teams because we have 'Reds' in the team name. I am hoping the green seats shown on the drawings has no relavance to the actual colour they are going to be, but who knows?

If it's the developers who have specified this the club could always put pressure on the council with a suggested name change to Manchester City Greens United! I can't see them wanting that can you?

As for magenta, no thanks!! It would look like a Barbie Stadium!!

perhaps the designer is colour blind.
