I am and as are many of us as you well know mate, it requires buy-in from the other Shed dwellers. Many are willing but the k.nobs have tried their best to ruin it, but the main issue is, there's nothing to get excited about on the park, it's give and take, some days you get the feeling the players can't be bothered as soon as they enter the field and that’s when fans switch off.

Im with LF and KOTS on this one, to get it going you have to buy into it and possibly look like a bit of a tool at times if you float a song and it crashes n burns, stand there look "too cool for school" and you then cant moan about how rubbish the atmosphere.

The Shed the spiritual home of salfords red army it aways will be, but there is bit of "red army" in all of us, to be honest some of the best atmospheres created by us the fans have been on our travels,there has been some belters at home so for me the venue is irrelevant in many ways.

In the new stadium we'll be making new memories both on and off the field so that should rev us all up to get it going again

I know this could have been mentioned in the many previous posts so I apologise.

With the club not owning the new ground would we stand to make anything from the advertising hoardings or even more appropriately the naming rights to the stadium itself?

Seems to me if not that we could stand to lose a constant revenue stream, doubt it's a great deal but in RL every little helps.

Will the Traff still continue to be our main shirt sponsors when we are in effect in a ground they co own anyway? seems to me to be a little pointless them using the shirts to sponsor a location you'll be able to see from the ground.

It says on the reds facebook page that we have been granted planning permition for the detailed planning stage of the stadium and says there will be a press release and photo's of the stadium to go with it, does anyone know when this is going to happen?

You don't mean last weeks press release following the Planning meeting do you?

He does. That update is from last week.

Great pics - it's nice to see some actual work being done.

Already a better environment for RL than Odsal or Craven Park.
