When the Doc took over the club last year he made a remark about the club needing an additional source of income. There is land around the new stadium to develop but nowhere near enough to build a racecourse. Peel holdings one of the biggest developers in the country have been trying for years to build a racecourse a few miles away but it's been met with a lot of local opposition.

What you also have to understand is the land is owned by Peel and they want to develop a racecourse themselves and won't want to sell the land. Another stumbling block is Peel are a very powerful player and even if the Doc had land to develop they would oppose any planning consent because they monopolise all the major new development in the city. Trust me they would throw every spanner in the wheel they could and it would be a total non starter.

A perfect example of this was when Peel wanted a slice of the new stadium to simply prevent any development by another developer in the area.

how good would it actually be for a rugby league club to have those kind of facilities associated with it. Not sure what anybody's problem is if that is Koukash plans? he is obviously very committed to red devils and you wouldn't spend the time and effort if thats all he wanted out of the deal.

Worsley doesn't need a racecourse . Its blighted enough by being part of Salford anyway these days and blighted even more by blow ins who think they know what's good for the place.

In what way is Worsley blighted more than other area of our city? Please elaborate I'd be interested to read your views.
