Quote: reds89 "I'm not too sure you are going to be the 1st friendly at the new stadium. In the press release on our official website rlhererl, it just says that you will be the 1st Super League team to visit the new stadium. As far as I know there have to be a few trial games at the ground in order for the stadium to pass the health and safety/fire regulations. I would assume that there would be a couple of friendly's against lower league teams such as Swinton and/or Leigh in order to pass these.'"
This is correct. I believe there will be 2 games at the stadium before the Salford v Wigan game. the first against swinton and the second against Leigh. It is obviously expected that the crowds will rise with each game allowing the club to iron out any teething problems and as you say for regulations etc.
