Ta Biggles

They are brilliant pictures, would have thought the club would be interested in putting them on the fishal site for more fans to see.

Nice work BartonFlyer.

Great pics Mr Flyer , ta very much .

Still a hell of a lot of work still needed to finish that main stand

stadium progressing very nicley cant wait to visit it next year

Went out for a ride yesterday and got my first real up close look at the new site and my fears about the smaller stands were misplaced as they look fine, think if they were all the same height as the main one Salford councol would have a delightful white elephant on it's hands.

Are there any plans do we know to increase buses to the venue on match days? think the obvious route would be from Eccles interchange direct to the ground and then return afterwards

Did'nt realise that the size of the area around it was as big also.

A couple of pointers for pre match drinks, there was a church based social slub on the A57 near the motorway round about that looked like a suitable venue and if you were to drink at either The Kings Head or the Rock the path down the canal would make the ground only a 15/20 minute walk away.

The said Social club is St Michaels, cheap beer, but it also gets filled with not rights off Brookhouse estate.

A few people have mentioned on this thread about the new stadium location offering excellent exposure from the motorway compared to the backstreets of Weaste. With this in mind I did some searching on Google to see how the M60 compares to others in terms of traffic volume and this is what I found. An average of 43.8 million vehicle journeys a year! Hardly.
The first signs of structural work were only in late Feb. Four months on and it's well under way. No problems envisaged whatsoever

I heard the fitting out is on schedule to start in September.

Doubt it will be up and ready for the start in the new ground.

The real pity for me is that the Weathers next to the ski slope is on the wrong side of the canal as that would be a brilliant place pre match.

The Applewood Farm in Astley was recently thrown up in under 4 months, and it's a fair old size.

As much as anything else I'd think the road infrastructure would be inplace to late and what about permision for liceenses and what have you.

Would be a good think but maybe a little on the small side for a big rugby crowd?
