Yeah I know the ins and outs mate and I know very, very well the future plans (or not as the case may be) but the cost is still pretty high in comparison to other new stadium developments that have sprung up or are in the process of being. And considering we haven't got a roof that covers the whole stadium, it's actually a very expensive stadium.

Perhaps the 26m figure includes all the associated costs of building a new stadium rather than just the actual phase one build cost. Maybe the 26m also includes phases 2 and 3 of the development and all the associatied costs. I know an extra 4m was spent on the remediation.
I do know where you are coming from though because the general cost for stadia used to be based on a factor of around £1000 a seat. eg 12,000 x £1000 = 12m (Then add a bit on for inflation)

Anyone notice on the CGI that the stadium had "home of Salford Reds" emblazoned on it across the entrance. Are we going to lose the city part of our name when we move stadium?

Yes we had ' Leigh Centurions ' signage on our CGI

Yet we still dont have it on the stadium , we asked to relocate something ' iconic ' from Hilton Park , but were refused that as well

1st the Green seats , now they can't get our name right . guys who did this CGI must be from an area where Salford is unheard of ..... Manchester.

Foundations on the other three stands for potential Phases 2-3 are in the banking preparations in phase 1

Initially yes from the A57 but I understand a road for non public motor traffic use will be available for emergency service vehicles only. I understand this service road will connect to a sub road of Peel Green road. Future plans are for a new dual carriageway running parallel to the M60 on the Trafford Centre side (Anti-clockwise). This road will run from the Peel Green roundabout with a traffic light turn under Barton bridge into the stadium site and then veering left past the back of the Soccer Dome and linking to the existing roads directly to the Trafford Centre. There will also be new slip road from the stadium site on to the M60 (Clockwise direction) A couple more CGI's of the first phase of the new stadium below:- Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

There are actually quite a few grounds with only one road in and out. Wigan, Leigh, Wembley!! I don't think access to the ground is going to be anymore difficult than at present getting to the Willows.

Re: New Stadium Site Update Thread!!! : Tue Nov 30, 2010 9:07 am  

The original CGI I saw had the corners covered or was this the later phases?

Does anyone recall this and do they have a link.

Re: New Stadium Site Update Thread!!! : Tue Nov 30, 2010 9:46 am  

I recall that the corners are to be added at a later date.
