Looking good. What are the plans with regards to parking at the new ground? From the pictures it doesn't seem like there are even access roads at the moment and it's hard to see where you will be able to park?

If there's anyone on here from Eccles RL maybe they can answer but does the clubhouse have a bar?, notice that there is a path under the motorway from the training area that would maybe make it a 10 minute walk?

Would be a brilliant way for Eccles to raise revenue if they opened up to allow pre match drinkers.

I'm not from Eccles but i can confirm they do have a bar, beer garden with a built BBQ and so forth and yes there is a path under the motorway on to brookhouse which comes out right between the clubhouse and the pitches.

If they (and i am sure they will) put the effort in, they could benefit massively from this. They have a big Car Park which they could promote for use, a bar for pre-match and post-match drinks and a nice easy walk over to the new ground. Eccles rugby club could see a nice tidy increase in revenue.

The bridge that is under construction and will be ready is the one linking the stadium to the A57, I think it's what can be seen to the left of the site offices on this pic taken by billybradshawsmum:



Barton Swing Bridge, or traversing Barton Locks are the only methods for the foreseeable future. From the Port Salford planning condition, the road system won't have to be in place until the freight rail line is built, the port warehousing is built, and half of that space is being used. Though it could be sooner.
