things are looking good now for the stadium

ive always believed in a new ground salford can become a big RL club and challenge the best.

even if its not the "iconic" ground that was promised. if it still 20,000 then that will be fine for the club.

RL needs a strong salford club. for its proximity to manchester, and also with the bbc sports dept. moving in close by

a strong RL club on the BBC door is the best way to change their union bias

White City BBC London is 6 miles from the stoop and has had No effect on the Union bias of the sports staff there. Hope You have more luck.

So let me get this straight, lets look at the facts, that's the Stoop, home of Harlequins RU for 45 years which is across the road from Twickenham, the home of English RU since 1909? Whereas RL has only hand any real foothold in London for less than 30 years, you think there's much in that regarding the bias?

I know what you're saying but I'm sure you can see how this is different. I'm sure the BBC moving to Salford, less than 3 miles from the Willows within much of the heartlands of RL country, we'll have a little more luck.

And who said that RL supporters have an "us against the world" mentallity Beaten before we try and we wonder why we fail so much, get out of your village and understand that not everyone has got it in for us.

I'm sure the Beeb moving to the North West will benefit RL.
