The most soulless & plastic feeling stadium in Super League?! I honestly have never felt so unimpressed at a sporting venue in my life!

Even the advertising hoardings were desperate to get away from the place.

It's an example of ambition over reality. Way too big for the needs of either of its tenants.

Salford/Sale could have got along quite nicely in something the size of the HJ, rather than this white elephant.

Weren't Sale late comers to the venue and had nothing to do with design etc of the stadium?

Closer game than you thought was it? So blame the stadium? Boring

Not sure who was consulted when, but if Peel and the council went to Salford and said "how big do you want" and got 12k as an answer, someone's massively overestimated their needs.

When have we blamed the stadium on the closeness?!

God it was awful. Just so many little things that add up to not really enjoying the event, and certainly things that with Koukash's money, should be easily fixed. A big screen, maybe? A lot of that first half was spent at the opposite end of the field, and you couldn't tell what was happening a lot of the time, or even who had scored. Which brings me to the second suggestion, a better microphone/speakers for the announcer? Couldn't hear a thing. Pre-match entertainment? Even the running through of the team, seemed to be done at the last minute, at super speed. Maybe we're spoilt at Headingley, but nothing about this game felt like an 'event'.

And things that aren't really Salford's fault, but annoying none the less; taking the bottle caps off? Has that ever ended well? Decided against a drink as was standing, and it was cold and windy - hands would have frozen off or drink would be knocked over. And what's wrong with a chip van inside the ground? Not all of us want a pie or hot dog!

Anyway, I have to pick and choose my away games with working shifts, I won't be hurrying back to Salford any time soon.

Bottle tops is usually to do with alcohol license

3rd rate ground for a 3rd rate club.

Well I will do my best to answer your frivolous comments.

We are tenants and the rent is Sky high. Moneywise Dr Kouhash loses an arm and a leg every match. We dont have a return from the drinks consumed, no say in the Catering. we dont have a proper club shop, we are totally restricted on what we can or cannot do including the Car Parks. We are doing our best with what we have in front of us.

Its easy to sneer but next time be more positive I always thought RL was a Family game. The big screen for instance is a good idea.

My grumpiness about is more the design of it more than ought else!

I swore never to return to that soulless place after our visit when it first opened, when we were forced to sit in our car for over an hour before they let us leave the car park.

With it being Sunday and with nothing better to do we thought we'd give it another go, but this time we parked on the approach road to the stadium for a quick exit.

For whatever reason it has turned out to be a dreadful stadium - it's like they spent all the money on one great big, shiny, posh stand and ran out of cash for the other three stands. The big holes in the corners let whatever atmosphere there is to escape and it just has a distinctly 'empty' feel about it.

We probably wont go back for another few years, or at least until we have forgotten how dire it is.

I'm not blaming Salford - more whoever it was that agreed the design or signed the lease on what are obviously ridiculous terms.

We'll miss ya
