Good question, do we get chance to name the new roads around the ground? Would be good to have a "willows Road" or "salford Road" or Sir John Wilkinson Way? would be a nice touch

How about David Watkins way?

Anyone notice on the CGI that the stadium had "home of Salford Reds" emblazoned on it across the entrance. Are we going to lose the city part of our name when we move stadium?

I think someone asked the question on Facebook when the video was posted and they said it was just an oversight on the part of the creators of the video.

We could go for the Dai Young memorial garden

Link to an article on the Council website with some photo's of the stadium contracts being signed by the council, the club and the building contractor Buckingham Group. http://www.salford.gov.uk/pr-10-2754.htm

Sorry I though that was a link to the club's website article. I was looking at the Buckingham website it appears they built the MK Dons stadium and are currently building Brighton's.

Yeah two really good projects, shame really that ours won't look as good as either of them. Having said that we haven't got a spare £95m that its cost Brighton for their or the £48m for Stadium:mk although cost per seat is still fairly high for £26m only 12k capacity.

I heard this is due to putting in the extra foundations for phase 2 and 3 during phase one. My guess is the following phases may happen when the JV makes profit from the future retail should there be a demand for a higher capacity. Some people are saying there will never be another phase but why go to all the added expense in phase one if they have no intention of expanding it?
