Salford's new ground : Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:51 pm  

I've noticed that one side of Salford's new stadium is up and looking promising??.....Well, if what I'm watching now on TV is anything to go by, I'd leave it at one side, as that is all they'll ever fill.....

Sky must hate these early season games where they have to show 2 of the 'lesser' clubs, who, more often than not, put on the greatest advert for Rugby Union you will ever see.

Dismal, the crowd and the performance of both sides. The difference between last night and this is huge. No enterprise or invention, Salford are playing one out and Crusaders are playing too much behind the line.

Maybe that try will spice it up.....or is it wake it up?

one plus ive got crusaders with a 10 start,but it is awful

At least it's pepped up a bit, still too much messing around in the tackle by the Crusaders, this will lose them the game if their not careful.

Now Salford are doing it!

Not a bad game, second half.

Your right, both sides are trying to score now

Re: Salford's new ground : Sat Apr 02, 2011 7:47 pm  

Compared to the first half anyway.

3416 there, we should get more than that tomorrow. With no away support.

Saw their new place the other day on the way to the Traff. Looks similar size to our north stand but looks to have two storeys of boxes above.

I believe the original design of 25000 has been halved, but I still think they will struggle to half fill it. The location is completely different to our town centre one.

90% of those attending games there will have to either get public transport or park on the stadium complex itself. I know there will be other things around there eventually, but I would imagine they would have parking restrictions.

It's similar to one of the options on the table in the planning stage of ours, the Limekiln, Burtonwood one. Out in the middle of nowhere-bad idea, thank god we didn't go for that.

I must admit, I have the same reservations about the chosen location for their new ground.

It has been sited quite a distance from their traditional 'area' (its now more Irlam/Eccles than Salford) and you have to wonder how many of their existing fans they will actually lose with this move.

It really is in the middle of nowhere and you sense that this club will actually become a separately new club from the existing one, in comparison with how we managed to keep our identity, which could certainly have been lost, if we had chosen a more out-of-town location.
