I have today heard off a very reliable source that there will be a harvester pub going up on site next year which will be very useful for a pre match bevvie !

think I will be having a trial run soon down on the train from Stalyvegas to Patricroft to suss out likely watering holes (and then do another trip by Metrolink from town to assess the possibility of Eccles as a pre-match destination !)

Saints have signed up Robinsons to supply the beer to the bars in the new stadium, with a special deal for televised matches bringing more money in, something we could try with a local brewer, ie Holts or even Robinsons for the new stadium, because it is clear from the Saints deal rugby league clubs are not tied into the Tetley deal.

Robinsons would be amazing. We can watch as unassuming away fans buy pints of Old Tom.

Are you mad boy??? I'd rather then put a tap on the bottom of the lav and serve that than either of them, now a dream would be Sam Smiths as it's golden and cheap plus it isn't the biggest seller round these parts so they might fancy it for expansion?

Really? Can't stand the stuff personally I don't think it travels outside of Stockport particularly well. Now Holts would be a dream (alas not for lager drinkers mind) it only has to travel a few miles!

You'll end up with a choice between John Smiths and Carlsberg , as that's what the catering co s like EMC carry

Be about £ 3.50 a pint

If it is rail based would there any passenger facilities as that would make getting to the ground much easier for a lot more fans both Salford and from down the Cheshire corridor.

Not 100% sure on that, it would be great if there was some sort of rail link to the stadium though. Or a Metrolink station, which I have actually seen mentioned on some plans, going over the new bridge over the canal.

Some form of boat link from Salford Quays, or even from up Irlam way, would be great, and unique to a sports team I think. Could have a fancy one like on the Thames, serving meals etc

Holts at the new stadium would be a dream come true

Unfortunately you are probably going to be right.

The Albert Edward is a Samuel Smiths pub in Eccles.

There are a number of Holts houses in the area, nearest to the stadium will be the Grapes.

Would be great to get a local brewery to supply the ale, my vote is Hydes
