Re: New Stadium Photos : Thu Mar 03, 2011 4:33 pm  

I have been worried about leaving the Willows. The Reebok wasn't Burnden Park and the DW definately wasn't Central Park (My homes in former lives). The atmosphere in some new stadia including the aforementioned, has been dire in comparison to the original grounds. I've been coming to the Willows since 1997 and the atmosphere was part of the reason I've enjoyed coming so much.

HOWEVER, I couldn't help feeling excited about seeing our new stadium taking shape. I think the HW Stadium has worked well for Warrington and I'm hoping we achieve something similar, (Only better of course!)

Ive said it before, the thing that makes the willows is the fans inside, the roar of the shed can easily be replicated in the new stadium, people outside our usual fanbase are getting excited, tomorrow for example i have 2 posiblly 3 "new" fans from work coming to watch the game (it helps we won sunday and and my news updates on FB regarding results / stadium updates im sure have had a effect) hopefully we'll compete and it will be a good game

People say salford are a sleeping giant, we can stiring a few result together we might wake up, with the new ground in place and with a half decent side playing attractive rugby on the eye i can only see salford going one way.

I completely disagree. I can't tell you how many times i've wandered across into the second lane by staring out the window trying to get a look. It's going to get worse as the stadium gets built.

would it not be a good idea if some big sign/banner was visible from barton bridge for all motorists to read....something like......."THE CITY OF SALFORD STADIUM.....HOME OF THE SALFORD CITY REDS" ??
