Just thinking ahead to the new ground, when it opens think that it would be a good idea to make the first round or two of the 2012 season away games and invite whoever wins the NRL next season to be the opposition for the official opening game as they would be over for the world club challenge, that is of course providing we dont win the grand final next season

Imagine a full house for a game against the Broncos or someone of that stature and the memories that would provide for everyone in attendance.

MORE CHANCE OF A RUSSELL WATSON CONCERT TAKING PLACE...

It's hardly out of the question. There's usually a warm-up game for the team that's over for the World Club Challenge. Melbourne played at Quins this year and Halifax a couple of years back.

I actually think it's a really good idea and would be something that I would most likely go and see. It would attract fans from other clubs who would not only want to see what the new stadium looks like, but also to see an NRL team in action.

Well as a few of us know the club does take note of what is said on here and fully intends taking more of a note of the bright ideas some of us have, think that type of grand opening would be a proper way for what we all hope will be an iconic stadium, pity it isnt in the summer as the idea end to the day would be to get a local band of some standing to play and grab headlines on both fronts. We should be mooting this to the RFL right now so they can ensure that the world club challenge is played over herethat season and that the NRL sign up to the game and make it a flood blooded affair rather than an unlimited subs type friendly.

Would also love to see at some point a decent RL 7#s competition being held at the stadium, maybe get a RU team involved to increase exposure, always remember years ago the Wigan 7's and the fun we had there.

No they can't kick us out as we do own a percentage of the stadium, although like Salford we have no say over who can use the facilities, at least we will get our percentage of any proffits made let them come I say.
As for being associated with winners are you seriously putting Salford in the winners bracket.

It will and we (the fans) need to learn from what the Leigh fans have been through in the first couple of years at the LSV to ensure that our transition to the new stadium is smooth.
