We do have a very very good relationship with the council, even the Swinton councillors, and hopefully this relationship will grow with Salford supporters with in the council.

I think we'll be OK - there are some excellent Income streams - not least the Banqueting. Fear not.

We have excellent Banqueting facilities at Leigh , problem is they are that expensive nobody wants to use them , yes you should find it easier than us given your location and the level you will be playing at , but seriously you lose control of those income streams and you will struggle

You have a lot of expensive work to be done to make the new stadium a success attendance wise , that will need to be paid for , it will take several years

It was mentioned by Dave Tarry in the recent press conference that talk's between Salford Reds & the Council about a ' New Stadium ' started as far back as 1996 .


We had been unceremoniously shoved out of the newly formed SL the year previously , albeit by our league position but the ground facilities & image of the club was an issue to our inclusion in SL even then.
By 2007 our submission for a franchise place in SL nailed our colours to the mast, we have no choice but to deliver on our promise of new ground / facilities.

it's now 2010 , a recession on and our new ground is essentially an off -the-shelf economy option , not RL's Bernabeu.

However in it's favour
1. it's happening
2. It's only 3.8 Miles down the road from the old place
3. It has two Training pitches + Changing Pavillion on site
4. It can be improved

so what ever the reservations of the move , we've got next season to really give the old place a good send off!
