| As Robbie Paul said on the Super League Show "take it with a big pinch of salt...they have been talking of building it for ten years" when Harry Gration talked about this "great news for Salford". Anybody can (and many clubs repeatedly have) produce an artists' impression, cgi representation of the stadium or talk of positive steps and agreed delivery dates. Salford said they had started work three years ago and it came to nothing. They would be wise to say nothing and wait until the stands have started to be built, then get this shown on television. That would make it more than the sort of empty promises they have repeatedly spun the authorities before.
I hope that they like Cas, Wakey and all other clubs get their new stadia built but all these false dawn announcements do them no credit at all. Widnes, Leigh and Halifax all have their stadia in place now so computer images and articles like this just aren't good enough. They need to show us the stadium actually being built. Clubs below SL have done it Salford and the others have to do so as well.

| I personally think (and hope) that this will be built for 2012. Not only has it been going on far to long how do you think us (salford fans) feel about it? Work has started on site so hopefully we will be there come 2012.
I understand what your saying though, this has happened before but for our futures sake this needs to be the real thing, not another false dawn!

| You would think it was a 100,000 seat stadium in the shape of a sea shell the length of time it has been discussed, dissected, considered, revised, revisited, reviewed etc. etc. etc. etc.

I can only speak for Wakey, but none of the announcements made have been intentional 'false dawns'. It is bloomin' difficult to get everything together to build a stadium - and 100 times harder without the aid of a decent-ish soccer club. All the clubs aspire to have new stadia and each one has a unique group of people and a unique package. Each one also has a unique set of potential pit-falls - but the clubs themselves, the fans and the game in general deserves a better deal from both near and far.
Hats off to those who have found their Holy Grail, but be under no illusion, nor treat with any disdain, the efforts made by the remaining clubs.
Good luck to Salford - despite the stadium being much more modest than the original concept, I think it looks a more viable proposition and, when delivered, it will do the job it is intended for.

| Quote: John S "With apologies to the original poster on our site but here are the rest of the 'stories'
2003:
You are aware that things have happened aren't you? Stadium called in for public inquiry, Super Casinos scrapped, investor pulled out, archaeology found, learning skills council funding pulled, global financial meltdown. In all those stores, the situation had moved on, but it has been 3 steps forward and two back for most of the last 10 years.
We're (for the first time) in a position where finance is in place, the site started to be fenced off on Thursday, contractors have been appointed for the land remediation and infrastructure work, workers are moving on site now, and the tender is out for the construction phase - to be appointed in August to stat the build in October.
Now, who knows what will happen between now and October, but we'll still be closer that we have been before, and will stll be going in the right direction.

| Even if they start building it - it's got to be finished! Fax started their "stadium completion" in 1998. In 2010 they've finally got to about a 95% completion. It still aint finished! In my opinion the RFL shouldn't consider a criteria point for stadia until it has officially been completed. The John S post above quite frankly is embarrssing and highlight's the now tiresome nature of these announcements.
