Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| They're assembling quite a side at the LSV, Cunningham's on his way as is Duffy, Leuliau, Littler amongst others.
All these players even with an alleged reduction of the salary cap to £300K.

I spoke to one of the contractors today who was supposed to be in charge of foundations, digging etc.. He said, " there int a cat in ells chance mate". Apparently a geologist said also that the ground isnt ideally suitable either even though the large ski slope etc is next to it. NOT ONE hole has been made even though wilkinson said there preperations were halted due to ancient ruins or fossils or whatever was found in the soil.
Great news!!
sounds like it would be a nice franchise spot for toulouse in 2 years then. RFL will be happ with another French team after all that is probably what they were put in our league for to give them chace to settle before being put in super league.

Lol what sort of club are Widness if their fans think its good news Salford don't get the stadium? Relaying on a team not to get a stadium as the only way for you to get in Super League, why should you go in atall.

| It's not good news for any club that's not getting a new stadium that has been promised one but at the same time I couldn't give a toss what Salford or any other club are doing apart from Widnes.
Up the chemics.

You relied on one to get in, and never produced it. Stands to reason we would be relying on the same teams not to get one to get in too. We are going to have to outdo existing SL teams, and we certainly outdo you lot especially without the stadium.

I thought it was Widnes?
[quote="BIGAL1"]All games are winnable, whats hard to understand about that.
Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]:7294.jpg |

| Quote: GSF "Oh well if a contractor said so then it must be true.'"
Not necessarily. The contractor just builds. The designer is the one who designs the foundations and will know more about the conditions of the site. In fact, I'm surprised as the source has spoken to one of the subbies who are doing the groundworks as I would have thought the main contractor wasn't even appointed yet!

| Quote: Early Bath "Some nice sentiments above including the usual Swineton troll.
Sorry to disappoint you Gauge but your informant working on site is not the person to speak to.
You really need a line to the MD of Peel Holdings PLC. He is the man who matters and he has conveyed to Mr Wilkinson that the Stadium will be built on time. It is a clause in Peels agreement with Salford Council that the Stadium is completed before the Barton Docks scheme (also for Peel) goes ahead.
Very sad to see so much bitterness with Salford. Unnecessary. If its all to do with the Franchises then there will be room enough for both clubs next time.'"
Thing is you keep pushing the 'on time' date back so hardly counts does it?
1st was 2011 then Wilko came out with... 'are plans are on track for 2012' erm no...
Plus obviously Widnes will rely on other teams not getting stadiums etc... FACT! If all SL sides had teams full of Brit's all finishing in playoffs next few years in brand spanking new stadiums 10k attenadances and 4mil turnovers. we'd be fooked! sO WHAT DO YOU EXPECT EXACTLY?
Oh yea 1 word.. Liars!

40764_1260374436.jpg an atmosphere that isn't created by people in matching shirts clapping along to a drum or novelty PA music might be nice!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40764.jpg |

| Am I the only one who doesn't seem to be d? Ok yes it is a bit annoying, as a brick hasn't yet been layed, and plans seemed to have stalled as many did expect. Go along the road by Barton on a weekly basis, so seen it with my own eyes. Yes it is the contractor that builds only, two seperate parties completely.
Whilst I do feel the final piece of Salford's jigsaw isn't looking to be completed anytime soon, why don't we just leave the fretting to be done by Peel, Salford Council and Mr Wilkinson. I don't believe it is much concern to us tbh, we should just concentrate on builiding an unstoppable bid for 2012 now, forget about others, let's get there on merit and in the short term worry about getting to GF at W**e.
At least Salford aren't having to be bailed out financially, and having to re-locate mid season in their first year of SL rugby.

Why would you want any Lancashire sports team to go bust? You sound like a small time wool.

Great news!!
There's lots more of this to come along with the usual platitudes from John Wilkinson. You can't question his devotion to Salford but that's not the point.
The new ground at Barton might well remain a non-issue for the RFL (yes, they've issued "warnings" but that's only a measly form of protocol) next time around.
Why? Because the long-term "big city" agenda for SL will sway Salford's case regardless. Especially if Maurice Watkins is involved in the franchise process again. Even if he is officially there to advise on the legal aspects he is a very powerful man in sport.
And has had more than just a passing involvement with the Salford club in the past.
