Quote: salfordlad "I went to the Italy v England game which was on a Saturday afternoon and it took me almost 90 minutes to get home.
I haven't got a problem with Salford RL 'just telling you how it is for folk who don't drive.'"
I have been to the ground five times since it opened. the only time I have had a problem was for the England v France game when it took forever to get off Barton Aerodrome.
The other week after the Italy game we had a quick bite in the (impressive) stadium bar then jumped on the 67 into Irlam which only took a couple of minutes, from there we then got the train back to Sankey. On my two visits with Warrington we have gone on the coach via the Boat House pub (good food) and on both occasions got straight out after the game. I would never drive though.
The problem with the stadium is whilst located on a brown field site, it is only round the corner from the Trafford Centre which means other businesses will always be reluctant to invest in and develop the area. I am quite surprised that the buses from the Willows which originally were running when Leigh played the first game there seem to have been stopped.
