He was probably messing about.

Salford's ground is a disgrace. A disgrace. When they move, their attendances will improve instantly purely on account of that fact. They'll also make a lot more money on account of the fact that they'll be able to entertain corporate clients properly. Lot of similarities with Warrington there. Granted, we started at a higher level but these are similar stories. However, this codswallop that it was going to instantly propel them to maximum cap was about as believeable as Ian Millward's hair. Been a while since that sort of crap was spouted but it was amusing for a few years.



There is a school of thought that the fact it's near the Trafford Centre will help their crowds. Possibly but I doubt it. Yes, thousands of people will see it every day - but thousands of people aren't suddenly going to to pop down and try a game of RL just because a new stadium arrives on their commute. They'll have to work very hard to market it and I'm sure they will.



They're lucky they're not reliant on NWDA Funding. They'd be completely screwed if they were.

20,000 is far to big for salford they average around 4000 at home? Similar to our move they will get more fans and will eventually get over the 10,000 mark probably but that would be at best and could take a while so they would still have a half empty stadium. That aint going to look very good on tv or be good for atmosphere they should of made it around 13,000 and have space to expand like our ground.

Wire fans really make me laugh- little old Salford show a little bit of ambition and everyone's there to kick us down. It wasn't too long ago when you were in a similar position to ourselves playing at Wilderspool in front of 5-6k fans.



We may never hit the dizzy heights of Wigan, Saints, Leeds dare i say it- Warrington but at least were trying to progress as a club. We've got an old decrepid stadium were a sh*te club, we attempt to get a new staduim were delussional, we try an improve our squad- were recruiting a dads army!!! It seems nothing we do is good enough for some people (i include some Salford fans in that aswell!)



FWIW Barker is a complete tool and seems to pluck his exclusive stories from thin air but its about time we were linked with some good players for once! Briers is never going to come Solly but when Wire fans dismiss it purely because of our current stature really winds me up- It wasnt too long ago we were in a similar position, times change people!!

First phase i believe is only a 12k stadium, the additional phases and stadium increases is dependant on crowds etc...

Oh okay fair enough then

Don't judge all Wire fans on the comments of a few. I for one want to see a strong Salford in a modern stadium attracting good crowds. Anything that improves RL as a sport should be encouraged.
