I take a more pragmatist view, and then again, I could see this turning into a pub crawl and not getting to the stadium at all, I remember a number of years back we used to walk down Liverpool Road from Church Street having a pint in each pub and then try and remember how far we had got, I don't think there are as many pubs these days. But Eccles Cross for brekkie and see what happens, that is if I do it.

I regularly go on large walks up big hills, and also work for a charity, so I'm fairly sure nobody who knows me will sponsor me to walk a few miles of streets and watch a game of rugby. However, I'll probably support the foundation and take part by just stumping up the money myself.
Anyway, would anyone be interested in extending the scope and historical relevance of this by starting at Cavendish Street in Hulme, and heading to the Willows via the site of the New Barnes ground (Quays) before the Willows? Maybe also taking in Mile Field and Throstles Nest if anyone knows the locations.
Edit - Throstles Nest appears to have been between Ordsall Lane and the Irwell.

It'll be off due to insufficiently gritted pavements ...

How many miles do you think would that be? |

I received an email from the club about this today and then sent the following undeliverable response -
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
marketing@reds.co.uk
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 unrouteable via ArmourPlate (state 14).
----- Original message -----
Subject: Re: Reds ask fans to Walk the Walk for charity! SCR:0000135641
From: (deleted by me!)
To: Salford City Reds <marketing@reds.co.uk>
To whom it may concern,
How about I just come along on the day without the need to raise any funds
as a long and loyal supporter? I can get a lift so no need 2 walk as ive
got a bad back! I'm sure you would be delighted in my interest to visit the
new stadium for free, which was something that was promised originally and
so that I can pass on my experience to any new prospect supporters and
influence them to come along as a full paying spectator in the future?
I'm sure you would prefer I come along in any event without the need to
raise funds at this time in this very difficult financial economy as my
future support may rely on a visit?
I look forward to your response.
As this email to our marketing department was undeliverable (not sure whether any others have this problem?) I am hoping they are in touch with this forum and can reply accordingly. |

Bobby do you have to think of an excuse for everything FFS!!!!!!
I'd say the marketing@reds.co.uk looks like a bonafide email account to reply to. Why else have it on the website??? |

Not everything Fungus no but as i said the foundation are the people to contact not the marketing / media people in the club they are trying to promote the event not run it, all their realistly going to say is "eh well ill get back to you"
Its like me hunting down Parish on the quays with Walshy and asking him when the shirts are going to be in the shop

I'd be up for that.
Throstles Nest would be around Pomona tram stop somewhere, wouldn't it?

I estimate 4.5 miles, but that was starting at Cavendish Street in Hulme, which wasn't the actual ground, but the location of the club. Pomona Gardens was on what is currently waste land between the tram lines (between Cornbrook and Pomona) and the Ship Canal, so I was assuming that Throstles Nest would have been on the opposite side of the Irwell to that. Not sure about Mile Field, though it must be somewhere in the Ordsall area.
Edit:
from reading this:
books.google.co.uk/books?id=qhsN ... &q&f=false
And also discovering that there's still a Throstle's Nest bridge on the Bridgewater canal (image 4 in the link below)
www.penninewaterways.co.uk/bridgewater/bri51.htm
I'd deduce that our ground must have been in the vicinity of the current Exchange Quay complex. |

Can't imagine why no one had a similar thought earlier...
I was going off the Throstle's Nest Bridge on the canal. The official website says the ground was at Throstle's Nest Weir, so I'm assuming it would have been pretty much next to the canal.
EDIT: Found this photo on a quick search: www.trafford.gov.uk/content/tca/ ... ageID=1729 - including a guide to the location. |

Quote: Iain "Chapel, Cavendish Street (architect Edward Walters, 1847), was a particularly fine neo-Gothic building but was demolished in the early 1970s to allow expansion by Manchester Polytechnic.'"
the actual site of the Chapel is occupied by the Righton bldg of Mcr Metro Uni ( 13) rlhttps://www.mmu.ac.uk/travel/maps/mmu_maps_allsaints_aytoun.pdfrl. the nearest piece of grass then ( and now ) is all Saints Park off Oxford Rd Mcr . A good place to start ! Although judging by the 1870 street map there was waste ground west of the Chapel & School , that could've been played on.
