In the last picture it looks like they are starting to put the seats down in the main stand is that correct?

Does anyone have any idea when or indeed if they are going to landscape the area around the ground? strikes me as being a little odd they didn't break the back of this in the decent summer weather rather than wait until winter.

I think much of the surrounding area will either have a car park or a retail unit on it, so there's little point in landscaping just yet.

The new stadium looks smallish but i am sure when we get in there,with a decent attendance,it will feel like home from home.Good luck to all coaching staff and players,make Barton buzz.My first post by the way.

How many does each stand hold?

Looks like...

Main stand - 4.5k

Touchline - 2.5k

Each end - 2.5k ish

That comes to 12k.

Probably won't be far off. The two ends both hold 2500 each anyway.

The new ground is looking fantastic. All Red rose super league grounds will be modern for 2012, brilliant stuff and a few miles closer for wire fans

after reading the club website, and being told what is on the side of the ground when did the name change take place?

SALFORD CITY STADIUM

Was down for my weekly look yesterday and it looks like they are starting to put the frames for the seats in the main stand, also few people starting to tidy rubble away from the back of the ground so it looks like they are going to tarmacing all around pretty soon.
