drove past is yesterday, looks great bring built differently to Saints, so its strange seeing the main stand almost finished structure wise and the rest still to be done.

Yeah, I was just going to say Saints are doing it completely different. Saints have started on both the South Stand and West Stand, with the North and East stands commencing next week. The South Stand is reasonably advanced with alot of the concrete and steel done and the West is probably a week or so behind. Obviously the South Stand is the 'main' stand so needs more work with the corporate facilities etc.

The Salford stadium looks good though and once this main stand is done the other ends will fly up as they're alot smaller and nowhere near as complex. The pics look fantastic.

Yes just like The KC, Saints new stadium, Widnes, Leigh, Cas new stadium, what are you implying mate? Don't forget this stadium wouldn't be under construction if Salford weren't playing in it, just shows how good the council backing for RL is in our city. Oh by the way Peel also paid half of he dosh for the build aswel.

Cas stadium has nothing to do with the council, in fact the council are the reason why both Wakefield & Castleford aren't already in new stadiums.

I drive past it to work every day, looking good but it is closer to the canal than I thought it was going to be.

Surely not. The KC Stadium only cost £44 million in total.

no pounds!! The budget for the new East stand is $86mill!! I know tradies in Perth charge an arm and a leg but I am still trying to figure out how one stand can cost that much??

ps The Aussie $ is killing the pound and Euro, which is great news for us Aussies about to head to Europe on holiday!
