Quote: Carlos Alberto "What is its location like? Coming over Barton bridge it looks like it is in the middle of flipping nowhere, with limited access.'"

That would be about right! There is one road to the stadium through what are mudflats really. Originally of course there was supposed to be a hotel and sports complex there but that all went belly up, so all that is left is mudflats with some construction machinery scattered about. It's a doddle to get to off the M62 though.

Well I was quite impressed we parked at the Airfiled across the road £5 not too bad I thought.

The Ground does seem in the middle of nowhere but is quite impressive when walking up. I like the Park & Ride idea we used this at Hull a few weeks ago.

When inside I thought it wasn't bad the away end was full which gave a great atmoshpere and the pitch was close you could walk right next to it.

Scoreboard wasn't too hot but the sound system was good.

Will be going on Friday, how long did it take you to walk from the airfield?

Only about 5-10 mins just a brisk walk.

Here's a tip - if you haven't a voucher to park you'll get in a Q and then be shunted back onto the road you came from. Everybody will be going left into the ground, instead of that stay on the dual carriageway and about 300 yards on you turn right into the Airfield.

I will be coming in from the Irlam way so I take it I would just turn left into the Airfield and miss the problem you mentioned. Anyway I’m sure I will suss it. Thanks for the reply.

We parked on the airfield car park. Delighted to find a really comfy bar there £10 for 4 pints and free food at 7pm ( loads of sausage butties!). The walk wan't to bad but crossing the dual carriageway is an accident waiting to happen. There is a definite need for lights and a crossing.

The stadium is in the middle of no where. The away stand was OK and bigger than you think but for me the away fans should be put in the seats opposite the main stand. It would look fuller and what a waste of seats.

Overall a favourable experience but the ground is nothing special.

Everything is relative and, relative to the Willows, its a bloody palace.

I totally agree its million times better that the Willows. Its a sign of the times that I can compare now it to all the new RL stadia this side of the pennines and thats why I am able to make such comments based on that. Salford fans should be delighted to have such a great facility but my comments about it being in the middle of no where and the unused stand opposite the main stand are justified.

I don't think my review was unfair and when there are more facilities built in that area my comments will be even more favourable.

i was a little disappointed, when you turn the corner and see the main stand for the first i couldnt believe how good it looked and think it might be the best looking stand in the league, everything else is nice....but come no where near the same standard as the main stand. the lack of money was made well knowen and it really does look like the case.

its a very 'nice' groud, but if i was a salford fan i would have been gutted walking into Langtree park and seeing what i could have had

We parked at Eccles RLFC , a brisk 15 minute walk to the ground, car was safe and proceeds to the amateur club.

Ground was better than it looked from barton bridge.

Person who served me at the bar couldnt speak a word of English !!

After watching the shalacking they just dealt out to Wire, that place deserves to be full every week.
The Barton Globetrotters are playing some good looking rugby. They'll be hard pressed to keep it up next year if they lose both Patten and Smith next year.
