Some very valid points on this thread to be fair...

it is flying up and all on schedule and set to be completed by december of this year... this is only phase one of the building process, with stages 2 and 3 to follow...

i know the club are working extremely hard to push current gates up and eventually the gates at Barton

i hope we get similar success's to you where the gate increases are concerned from your switch to the HJ from Wilderspool, the same that happened at Hull too

i suppose we will just have to wait for the near future to (hopefully) see the clubs hard work in trying to get the attendences up to their maximum, if we can tap into just 0.01% of the population of the GM region we would be at maximum capacity every game...

i'm not saying that is going to happen, but for the club to set an initial target of maybe 7-8k i think that both the club and fans would see it as a success (aslong as we can keep the said fans coming in)

Marketing will be key for Salford i think, they should be looking to plaster the first game in their new stadium all over manchester, Theres a huge market in manchester for entertainment, even tapping a tiny amount of that would offer far more than SL hopefuls like halifax, fev etc.

I will wish them all the best until they start winning trophies 4.52587890625:5
