Sorry KMT I'll defend the right for Dantes ( or anyone for that matter ) to air their views on the club whether negative or optimistic . I wouldn't condone direct criticism of other forum members on 'personality' alone , views may not agreed with , but most posters are here because of a love for the team even if doesn't always read that way.

Exactly,if we all agreed with everything it would be pretty boring on here,and as that great man said,i don`t` agree with what he says but i`ll` fight to the death for him to have the right to say it.Or summat like that.

Is anybody in the know if any sign posts are going to be put up directing you to the stadium,its ok for us guys but away supporters could have trouble finding it,especially them coming over the hill on the motorway.

there should be one off the A57 both ways but there may be issues with Motorway signage

Trunk Road Type - Motorway
Minimum Number of Visitors per Year
(Motorways) within or adjacent to a large
conurbation, including the M25= 250,000

Needs Planning permission from the Highways Agency . and a projected Minimum number of visitors per annum , At present with 14 home games 250,000 / 14 = 17,857

There's already a plethora of Trafford Centre - Chill Factor Attraction signs already in place.

secondly there were planning limitations in place for the Stadium Parking , and with projected Park N Ride other than the actual stadium site a directional attraction sign may be counter productive ! absurd I know ..

Or there may already be a Graveyard of premade scrapped Stadium Signs - Salford Community Stadium , The Williams Group Stadium , or they 're waiting for Sale to tell them that they're now the ' North West ' Sharks ....

It's like criticising McDonald's as a profiteering junk food chain that serve up rubbish and employ staff that don't give a damn, and then choosing to have a drive through every day and telling the world and his wife how rubbish it is. Surely being at the game yesterday you must have taken some positive from somewhere? 40 unanswered points? That blockbusting drive by Feka? Holdsworth's kicking at goal? Matty Smiths try? etc . . . but I've never seen a single positive comment from you ever, why? Your behaviour just makes me question you intentions when posting on here. I think everyone on this forum criticises the club/team at times but with most forumites it does work both ways. Is it because you think you'll be ridiculed now if you did? I'm not writing this post to get a back slap from others I just can't figure you out and where you have appeared from that's all.

Redshed we played Halifax for god sake. If you read my post on the Halifax game thread, you'll see i posted that feka, anderson and smith had good games is that no positive My observations regarding the other players were very very average. Feka, anderson and smith were the difference put them 3 in the Halifax team and Halifax would of won. I go to watch rugby league not just blinkered Salford.

Back on topic,it was my 2nd visit,and to be honest it still has`nt got that home feel yet,maybe with a good crowd in and something to shout about and finding a spot that i`m happy with,my feelings will change.I did notice that they had put some covers over the toilet areas.

Re: First impressions of watching a game @ Barton........any : Mon Jan 16, 2012 8:47 pm  

Think the advertising hoardings going in will help as it will kind of frame things, they should surely be in before the Wigan game to make sure everything works OK.

Speaking from experience, it won't really feel like home until you have a few happy memories from the place. The LSV didn't start to feel like home until last season, after we started playing some good rugby and really beating teams (3 years after moving in!).
