Hopefully so.

I just find it a bit odd that they'd showcase plans of "their" stadium on BBC with different coloured seats after being in the planning process for what appears to be a generation!

I think you will end up sharing it. It will need to be functioning all year round. Hopefully it will be F.C. United in the winter, not the dreaded Sale Sharks. I reckon it would be good for the game if Swinton played there on your alternate weekends, but I think they are hoping for a stadium of their own.

i actually dont think swinton sharing the ground would be a good idea i know alot of swinton fans all they say is bitter abuse and the way the go on i dont think they would want to share either at the end of the day salford will be the main (and hopefully the only) team playing at barton

If that is the case why spend money on a stadium that will be used a maximum of 16 weeks per years!!!

What do you do with it the MAJORITY of the time?

Let it rot away?

One day, and it won't be that far away, the penny will drop with some, that ground sharing is the ONLY COST EFFECTIVE use of resources.

Those whose head is stuck up their own stupidity will suffer.

i have been told manchester united youth could play there home games there during th winter but i woudnt want sale sharing or swinton as the swinton season runs same time as ours

Do you actually listen? I just said, the seats won't actually be green.

FC United are building their own development at Ten Acres Lane, Newton Heath.

And for those bothered about seat colours, do you have the same opinion on the blue seats in the Galpharm & DW stadiums?

The seats are blue at those stadiums (as well as claret/cherry) because they share with teams that play in blue. So there's a reason behind it.

Very few teams play green. Perhaps this colour scheme is to aid those viewers pud-pulling over the number of empty seats each week at opponents games?

Yeah, i heard that off my mate today who's from Newton Heath (posh lad! ) I would just rather another RL club be in there than any chance of Sale Sharks. Swinton are after doing a stadium of their own too. I wouldn't worry about two teams sharing through the summer on a modern pitch. LSV had 2 football teams through last winter and RL on there from Feb onwards and it was still in great nick.

On the subject of seat colours, the worst one was the Stobart Stadium with its pinky red and grey/green seats. I think they have changed a lot of them and the Black/Red/White looks a millkion times better.
