i get really excited at clubs getting new grounds as this can turn things around a lot

salford have had many bumps along the way but finally will get the stadium they deserve

one that will make the club a strong one in the SL

Seems strange that one stand is so advanced when there doesn't even seem to be any sort of preliminary building work on any of the others.

The stand that is 'up' is the larger main stand with all of the main facilities in like corporates and changing rooms etc.

Looks smart.

Congratulations Salford! It's amazing that it's coming to fruition.

you can see that the site is cleared for the work on the other stands to begin - and it also makes sense to start with the stand that a) faces Barton Bridge so people see it and start to wonder what's going up, b) is most complex and will take the longest to fit out and around which the others are to be being built, and c) I imagine this stand (as it contains all the facilities) is the one that matters most to the franchise application

Congratulations,someone should give Wilkinson an award.Are you having new/improved training facilities? New grounds are great.but Clubs also need to improve training facilities.

Looking good! And the pitch already looks better than the one they had at Leeds last season

Goes to show you that hundreds of fat workmen do less damage to a pitch than 30 fat untalented union players.

It's going to have community pitches alongside. I presume it will also have facillities such as a purpose built gym etc.. for the team. Something that we don't have at present.

Yes we are also getting 2 full size training pitches with clubhouse on site abit like Leigh East at the LSV but we won't be having an amature team leasing it as such, it will be used by the Reds and other things like schools finals amature finals things like that.
