Morning All,

Heard a bit of chatter from sale sharks fans ??? this weekend,


Edgeley Park is going to be sold, and the money invested in OUR stadium, adding 4 corners to the stadium and under soil heating,

Dont know how true this is, , It will be a good thing for OUR stadium, but i still dont want them any where near to be honest,

Because i think if they move in, we ill be out in 3 yrs , and salford council wont care as long as someone is paying the rent and they are making money.

This is nonsense. Should Sale sell Edgeley Park why would they invest money in a stadium they wouldn't own? It's more likely the Stadium Management company would invest and develop phase 2 of the stadium due to the additional rental and extra revenue from additional use of the facilities.

I don't agree with your comment about the Council making money and not caring where the rent comes from. The council will simply want to cover the costs whilst providing better stadium facilities for Salford people within the City. I think you have to ask why the council agreed to build the stadium in the first place? They did it to protect Salford's Superleague status and provide better community facilities and not for profit making reasons.

None of the phases involve 4 corners being filled in.

I've heard Sale want to build a dwarf throwing area under one of the stands.

They better bleeding not.

well with the current state of pantos using kids instead of vertically challenged adults, that may be the only work available, (child labour returns under the Con Dem mod)

It isn't OUR stadium.



There'd be a heck of a long queue for that one.

Quality!

you mean to tell me Peel & Salford have spent 26m developing this ground and it still hasn't got under soil heating |FFS

I can confirm that i have been asked to participate. Not keen myself but got to earn a living.

Doubt that they would be allowed to without major rebuilding as if you look the corners are exists, think at the end of the game they will thrown them ope for the masses to stream out and naturally should they need them they would be the emergency entrance or exist.

If there is to be any further development ( which I doubt ) it will be to phase II propsals which is a second tier added to the east stand adding 3K , foundations we are led to believe are already in place , filling in corners are speculation probably fuelled by what's been planned at the Halliwell Jones.

we've not even got there to play a game yet and we've had sub 3,000 gates at the Willows , to add a bit of perspective ...

If the Stadium planners really wanted to attract a 2nd tenant playing a winter sport maybe they should have planned to include under soil heating

Plans for Warwick Davis to officially open the ground have been hastily put on the back burner on grounds of 'elf & safety
