I do like the fact that, since day 1, Salford fans and staff (Koukash included when he came on board) have complained about the stadium and various aspects of it. Then as soon as Sale complain about it, to the point of thinking of leaving, social media is full of Salford fans laughing and telling them "if you don't like it, f**k off." Short memories, some people.

I've often wondered if Kennedy and the Doc might consider a joint bit to buy the stadium?

Not got a clue how it would work but sure two businessmen would be able to thrash out a deal and ensure it was mutually beneficial to both clubs.

Common sense is not very common with this stadium company. Sale RU are quite rightly livid as Im sure they have had a lot of complaints from fans. As for the comic. Its sad that this paper is now no better than the gutter press. I could give so many examples of sensationalist headlines from local incidents where they dont let the truth get in the way of how they want to report it.

I fully expect the SMC to ban all vehicular traffic at the site on the 16th Feb and also to charge people to walk on the approaches.

The daft thing is with the traffic lights they did some rudimentary work just before Christmas to allow them to be removed for 2 weeks and then do what they did in the article, I've seen this week that there seems to be a large amount of work being done on the stretches leading to the A57 so obviously someone has had a monnumental bollocking over this.

thing is they didn`t move into the stadium blind , they had a season to watch us and how things worked , they knew the problems with the infrastructure were there and were going to be there for the foreseeable future .

This is true although it may have been a fair presumption from Sale that the stadium company would learn from their mistakes and no doubt there have would have been assurances made that they have not kept.

I understand Sales predicament but have zero sympathy. We fought so long for a stadium to see them come in and take advantage and at times act like vultures such as taking over the club shop and naming rights. Thank the lord for the good Dr that Sales future does not impact on us as severe as it would have done 12 months ago.

From what I hear the SMC and not very accommodating to Salford or Sale. They seem to be on a power trip and don't view the clubs as the customer. I've heard of lost sponsorship opportunities like a big security firm for instance because Peel have all their favourite suppliers in place. I've even heard that the clubs can't even choose their own menu for hospitality on match days. What both clubs have lost is associate sponsorship opportunities which is a big loss.

The best thing they could do is bulldoze it to the ground and give each club 10m compensation and write it off as a bad job. It seems to me that the SMC are doing everything they can to make it more difficult for people to attend a game.

The only way this will work is with:

1. An independent SMC with no links to Peel.
2. Improved transport links fast.
3. Free parking.
4. Allow people to pay at the turnstiles.
5. Cheaper food and drink.

I agree Wirecutter, ideal world we would also put west one out of its misery and have our stadium on that site rather than more than likley will be another supermarket.

All 5 points make sense but peel are used to doing things on their terms, and the council let them.

Peel probably want the stadium to fail so they can build something else in it's place.
