Which is the away end?

Been told both the North and South stands is for the home supporters, think we'll all find out more on Tuesday at the kids game.

Originally the North was due to be home, but now it is South after it was decided that the North stand would be less favourable for the sun in the eyes. Personally (based on using a sun compass at the stadium on Thursday) I don't think either end will have any problem with the sun in peoples face, unless games are played on afternoons in December/January (if it's sunny on the 7th, Leigh fans will have a hard time). The problem is, whilst a decision was made to swap the home end, no decision was made to move the screen; so the screen will be in the South East corner and the home standing fans might not get a very good view of it.

Our view of the screen was terrible in the shed anyway so nothing new there

If I have my bearings right the home end faces back into salford while the away end faces warrington

So salford now have its very own south stand, let's hope in 20+ years its being compared to Leeds one but better...with no drums

Just had a mooch round and if the number of cars driving up and having a look is anything to go by then the club are onto a winner.


Anyone tell me why the glass on the lower left hand side of the main stand is all boarded over and for Gods sake would it not have been a good idea to have had the shop finished and kitted out with a little bit of gear to make use of the interest in the new facility, do hope it's not going to be run the same shambolic way the old place is/was.

Typical Salfordesque balls up, strode at the new stadium along with two other people only to be told there's no staff to sell me tickets, why sodding bother?

Same here, just about had enough of trying to take positives from all this. I can hand on heart say one thing if I hadn't paid for my season ticket already I would walk away.

I thought you got your bike back ? (Please take that in the spirit in which it is intended )

I get a little frustrated when this (un)christian country shuts down for a fortnight over every Christmas and New Year period.
I did notice by perusing the facebook information that the club won't be up and running until the 3rd January.
I'm sure things were just as annoying when the Willows opened in 1901 when they managed to attract a decent attendance despite the lack of working people driving the infernal combustion engines about.

Hopefully you'll feel a lot better when the winning run at Barton starts.

You know what?
I'll buy your season ticket off you.
Send me a pm and I will pay for it, no questions asked.
You are the most miserable, self centred fecker I have ever had the misfortune to come across and the club would be better off if your bleeding heart just didn't bother ever again.
You manage to twist every thread into a negative and tbh i'm sick of it.
Everyone else is just getting on with it.
