| Well it's my second visit to the council house now to which teething problems are to be expected and evident, but with a bit of tweaking should be ironed out soon. But somehow i can't get enthused with the stadium, it doesn't feel like home like the willows. The main stand seems ok but the other three tiny stands have been built on the cheap if you ask me, or maybe it's the below par squad or the utter negativity surrounding the club which drains your enthusiasm making it now a chore. Spoke to many supporters in the past week or so who share this view with most opinions opting to pick and choose their games this season. It's going to be a long hard season ahead with many fans dropping off if comment's are followed up.

Sorry KMT I'll defend the right for Dantes ( or anyone for that matter ) to air their views on the club whether negative or optimistic . I wouldn't condone direct criticism of other forum members on 'personality' alone , views may not agreed with , but most posters are here because of a love for the team even if doesn't always read that way.

Exactly,if we all agreed with everything it would be pretty boring on here,and as that great man said,i don`t` agree with what he says but i`ll` fight to the death for him to have the right to say it.Or summat like that.

there should be one off the A57 both ways but there may be issues with Motorway signage
Quote: mitie mouse "
Trunk Road Type - Motorway
Minimum Number of Visitors per Year
(Motorways) within or adjacent to a large
conurbation, including the M25
Needs Planning permission from the Highways Agency . and a projected Minimum number of visitors per annum , At present with 14 home games 250,000 / 14 = 17,857
There's already a plethora of Trafford Centre - Chill Factor Attraction signs already in place.
secondly there were planning limitations in place for the Stadium Parking , and with projected Park N Ride other than the actual stadium site a directional attraction sign may be counter productive ! absurd I know ..
Or there may already be a Graveyard of premade scrapped Stadium Signs - Salford Community Stadium , The Williams Group Stadium , or they 're waiting for Sale to tell them that they're now the ' North West ' Sharks ....

I fully appreciate that everyone is entitled to their opinion and I accept that some will view things differently than others. If I didn't want to read others views on this forum I wouldn't be here. What I do find so difficult to grasp though is why you so persistently criticise yet still attend games and bother to post so frequently on here?
Where does somebody so negative get the enthusiasm from? It's like criticising McDonald's as a profiteering junk food chain that serve up rubbish and employ staff that don't give a damn, and then choosing to have a drive through every day and telling the world and his wife how rubbish it is.
Surely being at the game yesterday you must have taken some positive from somewhere? 40 unanswered points? That blockbusting drive by Feka? Holdsworth's kicking at goal? Matty Smiths try? etc . . . but I've never seen a single positive comment from you ever, why? Your behaviour just makes me question you intentions when posting on here. I think everyone on this forum criticises the club/team at times but with most forumites it does work both ways. Is it because you think you'll be ridiculed now if you did?
I'm not writing this post to get a back slap from others I just can't figure you out and where you have appeared from that's all.

| Redshed we played Halifax for god sake. If you read my post on the Halifax game thread, you'll see i posted that feka, anderson and smith had good games is that no positive My observations regarding the other players were very very average. Feka, anderson and smith were the difference put them 3 in the Halifax team and Halifax would of won. I go to watch rugby league not just blinkered Salford.

| Think the advertising hoardings going in will help as it will kind of frame things, they should surely be in before the Wigan game to make sure everything works OK.

Speaking from experience, it won't really feel like home until you have a few happy memories from the place. The LSV didn't start to feel like home until last season, after we started playing some good rugby and really beating teams (3 years after moving in!).

| Just had a thought about something that was mentioned to me when chatting with someone at the club.
Talked to the club about a BBQ again and trying to get sponsorship and was told that because of the licenses for the retailers on the stadium premises that they would struggle to do this again, would those same licenses prevent say a Harvester or Weatherspoons opening up on the retail part?, you'd have to think that the large area of land between the two access roads would be prime real estate for that with it being very visable from the main road and right next to the stadium.
