Never Drink on an Empty Head
BIGPEV THE ONLY MAN TO GET A REAL INJURY AT THE STOOP

The Terminal 2 tribute bar is ok they even play bingo with the price of the drinks, each round same number of drinks just a variation of a quid. Useless bar manager telling the two staff what to do and virtually ignore the customers whilst cleaning glasses and keeping the fridges stocked, he would have been more use if he would have left them serving and he did the little jobs that keep a bar running. But then he couldn't be the manager if he did manual work.
Nice views and very impressive private boxes CCNo1 fan even mentioned he could success from the boxes has he looked at Old trafford.
The compass problem the North stand is actually on the west side of the stadium and the east side is on the north side of the stadium, i am assuming that the main stand is the east stand with the north stand having Irlam behind it.
The South stand has the motorway behind it and manchester which is to the East of Salford confused I am.
It appears that the stadium is 90 degrees out of sync with the rest of the world.

It would have been a lot simpler if they had named the stands as follows:
Todd
Risman
Snape and
Wilkinson
Alas, it was never to be :(
Would have saved a lot of Bigpev's waffle at least :)

The big stand is the west stand, the on opposite (naturally) is East. The home standing end is South (end furthest from the bridge) and the away standing end is North. Just hope they move the mount for the big screen from South East corner to North East or else the away speccies get the better view of the screen.

Viewing from the West Stand is great, and that was the only one open today so can't comment on the rest. The West Stand really does have superb facilities for the corporate guests and I do think it will help the club increase money from that. It's just a pity that there's no on site fans bar (I don't class standing in a breeze bock concourse with a plastic pint pot as a fans bar) as it would make a killing - there was loads of chat today about where people could drink pre/post game. The other three stands look like they were designed by the work experience kid on a brief to make them as cheap as possible.

I had a wander around the perimeter of the ground and would like to hope that in the summer months they make use of the (to be) landscaped area behind the East Stand - it would be great for a pre game BBQ/beer tent and some family events.

Finally, the stewards need a better understanding of (1) the ground's rules and (2) that we're not football fans.

We Buried him the Cupboard.

There is a Menu with Meal deals above the serving hatches it was £5.30 for a pie & pint and £3.80 with a hot drink & hot doggy or pie. I asked about signage the'll be put in before the start of the New season. The road markings i saw are pointing turn right as well as left When you get to the first junction, It'll all be Fixed for the Start of the season! "RELAX POUR BE YOUR SELF ONCE MORE" !!!!!!!

£5:30 for a pie and a pint??? FFS let's really encourage new customers by making it reasonable and enticing if you bring the family.

The club have no say over the catering. The stadium company tender out the contract to outside caterers. What I found today is similar to any other modern day stadium. That is, long queues and average over priced food and drink. When I say over priced, I am comparing it to your average shop and accept that the prices at Salford this year will be similar to all other super league clubs but that doesnt mean its right to rip off fans. I guess Im being very naive to expect a Holts bitter and a home made hot pot pie at a rugby stadium.

Iain, you are absolutely right that all the facilities are in place for the corporate bods. I cant see what the club can offer in terms of a fans bar without a major input from the stadium company and that aint going to happen. We may eventually see a brewers fayre or other type of pub/food chain opening up as theres plenty of room for development.

***Salford City Reds #1 Prophet Of Fulfilment***

i enjoyed the whole experiene, it was clean, its was all very professionally run in my opinion, the service in the kiosks was quick, lots of meal deals on offer, salford badges on the kioks, highlights of tries being run on the plasma screens on the walls.

I wouldnt hesitate bringing my son to games now when he gets a bit older as the facilities are now there imo to enjoy the complete experience.

Hopefully the road signs will be ready for the start of the season rather than everyone having to turn around in barton airport /mackro

The view from the main stand was very good, i wouldnt hesistate in sitting there when i bring my son.

The whole point of today was for the stadium to put in to practrice all the theory and see what worked and what didnt, im sure they took a lot from it and this will only improve our experince of watching salford in such a wonderful facility

So Southstand is home standing, had a quick look at it doesnt seem that steep but ive watched salford on lower terraces in the past, im hoping the stand below is the same as the main stand as that would be brilliant
we shall see

it was also a good experience doing the walk, lots of people took part (more than i imagined) and it was good walking out of the willows probably for the final time and passing all the landmarks which hold both happy, sad, good and bad memories.

i also think that patricroft would be a ideal pre match pub crawl for both home and away supporters, a train station, 5 pubs, a subway, a bookies, a tesco, buses driving past to the ground or 20 min walk past a couple more pubs far more choice than we ever had at the

lets only whisper it but if this but if us fans and the club play our cards right it will be a roaring success
Next
