Have I got it wrong or was work supposed to start last Monday?

I'm guessing from the lack of talk or photos of progress on here that it didn't happen.

I thought so too!

There's some grdening to do first.

it was supposed to be 15th march but now it says on website late march early april.. so gods nows when work is actually going to start because can see this date being put back aswell.. the sooner they get workers on there the sooner people will start believing it is actually going to happen...

so whats the hold up,why now april.....its promises promises with salford come on get it started.

We are waiting for....



No official announcement was ever made saying 15th March, but "15th March to 15th September" is the contract duration for the tender for the site remediation and infrastructure works.

Anyone who's driven over Barton Bridge recently will have noticed that work has recently been done to remove vegetation from the site.

??

are you that desperate to move? i like the willows as an away fan, decent away end with a roof which can get a decent atmosphere. cant it just be developed?
i cant be arrsed with this drive to shiny soulless stadia personally

It's not really our choice the RFL want the new stadium and if we stand any chance of staying in SL we need it to be built.

The stadium could have possibly been re developed, but it is the surounding area, no parking etc.

when the old stadia were built, no one of any significence had a car but now the majority of households, everybody has a car so it is very difficult to park in the streets, & possibly some of the damage to cars could be a spite thing, as when folk park outside my house it p###es me of so I imagine when every space in your road is taken it is really annoying, so to update the facilities in old grounds doesnt solve the outer problems.
Understand what you say re "soulless stadiums" but sign of the times we all have to move on.

If people read what Dave Tarry said when the final green light from the council was announced he said it would be April because some legal i's needed dotting and t's needed crossing. as soon as those documents are signed we can start remediation work!

I got giddy the other day driving over the Barton flyover when I saw all the diggers and bulldozers, then I realised I was on the wrong side of the ship canal. DOH!!
