We held an open meeting in the area tonight, so I just want to give the rugby league world the latest on our new stadium
The club hope to be in a position by the end of August to apply for planning permission if they can raise £50,000 by then to complete the things that need doing to have a strong application.
The directors will be looking at specs this Monday to determine a final design.
It will be a community stadium with amatuer clubs being involved, mainly Pendlebury United who have 14 teams, with this we will be able to apply for various grants, it will cost around £3m to build the stadium.
It will initially have a capacity of 5,000-7,000 which will be easily expanded if ever needed.
The builders believe they can have it completed within 12-14 weeks, with that being said, if everything goes to plan, and there are no hiccups at all, then Swinton will be playing in their new stadium next season.
clubs and councils aways use the amatuer club playing there line to get the planning permission and stadium built. but once the stadium is built they price the amatuer clubs out of playing there.

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!

Yes there will be standing areas, it will be like a smaller scale of the Halliwell Jones Stadium, but I think the club are deciding to have the two length ways stands seating and width standing.

i think leigh miners where meant to play at the lsv but could not afford it.
another example is the widnes cup final(amatuer) is usually played at the stobarts but it was decided they would play it somewhere else because of the high rent at the stobarts. a lot of new stadiums claim to be community stadiums but then charge the community a ransom to use them.

I thought that Wigan council owned the LSV?
The best example is the Halliwell Jones, as it is to my understanding that it is used 7 days a week.
