Proof that Salford, St Helens, Castleford, Wakefield, Crusaders and St Helens were warned about their stadia ahead of licensing in 2009.


In July 2009, the RFL was reported to have warned Salford City Reds, Castleford Tigers and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, of which none had started construction on a new stadium, that progress must be made in order to avoid jeopardising their chances of obtaining a second Super League licence. St Helens RLFC and Celtic Crusaders (later Crusaders Rugby League) were also warned, but were reported to have a likely chance of having a new stadium by 2012."

Where have you "taken a look" Vasty? Google Earth? Google Maps Street View? An LS Lowry painting?

From someone brought up round the corner who has played at the ground and has stood on the terraces there for a number of years I can categorically state it doesn't have any extra surrounding land to expand the current stadium (the large expanse of land over Moor Lane is a nature reserve and protected land). There are barely enough parking spaces to accommodate players vehicles but apparently parking for fans isn't a SL requirement so it's fine on that front.

Having had a quick look at all SL requirements it does look as though it meets them (bar the 3m run off area at each side of the pitch).

The original Licensing required 12k minimum capacity.

To be fair, put some bleachers up in peel park and Salford will sell out

Crawl back under your stone you pathetic little troll.

Looks like this has run it's course.
