That's a good point to be honest.
I have no clue what the new rent will be but I'm sure one of the selling points was that it was going to be a "peppercorn" rent, whatever that would be.

it's a minimal licence fee as I understand it

Which means absolutley nothing , the council will be paying rates , insurance , office staff , ground staff , marketing staff , financial staff , several ' PA s' , several various ' management ' staff , at the LSV there are around 16 ' administration ' staff doing all these jobs , all on very good salaries , do you think the good citizens of Salford will be happy to pay for all that and not charge the reds anything realistic to play at a new 25 million pound stadium ?

Seriously ?

And who's decision will it then be who else gets to play there ? , it certainly wont be the SCR 's

Yes not good is it , then again , our move to the LSV has been part of the problem , I am not ' trolling ' I just see so many similarilitys with yourselves and the move to the LSV , as existing fans you need to understand that it might not be the ' Nirvana ' many of you think it will be

There are some similarities but the things that differentiate Barton to the LSV are hopefully Superleague rugby (license permitting), the location and the potential within the catchment area. I don't think anyone is under any illusion that it will be all plain sailing. All it provides is a better vehicle but it's important the club are prepared and know just how to drive it.

Would rather stick pins in my eyes than have that bitter bunch share the ground with us

Same here.

Things seem to be looking up a bit at the LSV but it's been a tough time as we have to learn lessons from their experience.

On the "new stadium" thread (and I know it's a little early) but has anyone given any thought to how they are going to get to the new ground (for those like me who like to leave the car firmly at home and enjoy a vessel or 5 !! )

At the moment it's great - train into town/tram to Weaste.

Could be a major issue if the games are on a Friday night.
