| Ok here's a list of venues I have discovered where we've (and will) played home fixtures.
As Cavendish/Salford
Moss Vale 1873-1875 (Near Moss Lane East, Moss Side, very close to Maine Road)
Throstle Nest Weir 1875-1877 (Bottom of Trafford Road, Pamona)
Mile Field 1877-1878 (Trafford Road, Near where Exchange Bar Frankie & Bennys) now stands)
New Barnes 1878-1901 (Broadway, Salford, near where Batleys now stands)
The Willows 1901-2011 (I think you know where that is 
People like you and all the Turkeys explain why in these days of gloom I'm still a devil. |

Innit just. I did something similar for United a bit ago, started at Bank Street and walked to the old North Road site (now Northampton Road and yes, I know that's going backwards in chronological order but it was more convinient...) through Newton Heath taking in various sites that were either relevant or in homage to United and local football. It's become a continous ongoing project to visit and record as many relevant parts of United's history as possible.

It'd be good to do something similar for Salford as well. It could also, on a separate occasion probably, go onto involve other local places of relevance to RL. Wheater's Field, for example.
Mind you, looking at KOTS's list above it could be a long bloody project! |

I'm thinking that KOTS's list could evolve into a good length walk over time, with an improvised game of touch rugby at each location.

Lots of moaning on here, one or two points I can accept.
I personally dont see the appeal of the walk, certainly not the entertainment provided in the new stadium and I can wait an extra few weeks to have a look at the facilities when we entertain Wigan. If you want to pay the money or get sponsorship then get on with it. I will be going, as my girlfriend who rarely goes the willows has signed us both up and raised the sponsor money in a day so its all about personal choice.

I remember last time a improvised game of touch rugby occurred on sacred turf, to this day I'm still convinced pipo knocked on scoring the winner....  .....  |

Rough directions for the heritage pre-walk walk:
g.co/maps/4m3nh
Adds about 6.5 miles to the Stadium walk. A good 2-hour schlep at a decent pace. |

Your only saying that because you lost! Chico will vouch for the try being a legal one

It was never a knock-on in a million years. Let it go Rob. Take the loss like a man, son!
It was a tad friskier than touch rugby too. Good stuff.

| Was just reading about stadium developments in the vt.
One of the saints fans posted this
Quote: "Season ticket holders were given their first opportunity to see inside Saints new stadium on Friday night. Langtree Park was opened up for two hours and the team did an open training session for the second hour (getting battered by hail, snow, rain and wind in the process!).
The fitting out is still ongoing but the shop is now finished and open for business. There are clearly teething troubles - one of the roller shutters for the turnstiles failed to open for instance - but I guess testing everything is one reason to have a ramp up event.
A few thousand STH turned up and we were free to wander around the ground as the concourse is continuous. There were no services available as they weren't ready in time (this event was required by the Council for H&S rather than initiated by Saints) but the flashy new bridge was finished with its fancy lighting. Very impressive and a superb entrance on to the whole site. '"
Perhaps salford should take onboard how one of the major RL teams in the world do things. They might learn a thing or two! |

don't be stupid, why should we copy, Salford like to do things differently, that is what makes us unique  |
