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" ??

They should do, as i was talking to a lad at work in Manchester and he mentioned about the "sports centre" they are builiding on land near the motorway that has taken away one of his "scrambling" spots.

I pointed out to him that it wasnt a sports centre but the new Salford Reds RL stadium.

The stadium should make it clear to everyone that it is a RL ground and whose it is. Otherwise people will assume its a soccer stadium

There should be a big visible sign saying something like "Salford City Reds - join us here in 2012 - visit reds.co.uk for ticket info"

St. Helens new stadium site is well posted/advertised and it wouldnt do us any harm to do the same.

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.

Haha Same mate, wish you could just stop on the motorway for a proper observation!

The basic steelwork and concrete steps takes no time at all.

What takes time is the fit out.

I think your stadium will be finished before the end of the SL season. Even if they say its only due to be completed by November.

Anyone know when the steelwork is starting at Saints? Some troll was really boasting on here a couple of months back about the new St Helens stadium being well ahead of Salford's.

I have tried to look on their stadium website on occasions but their webcam doesn't seem to be working. The latest update was about the piling on February 21st and there are no images showing steelwork on the Saints stadium forum.

I know it's totally irrelevant and not a race but I do find it a quite amusing that Salford's appears to be progressing quicker after the poster came on here really gloating about their new stadium being well further on than our's.
