In the Advertiser 15 October 2009 see page 46 Public and Legal Notices where Peel Land(Red City) are applying for planning permission for a 20000 seat sports stadium with associated integrated facilities.

Are we really on our way now?

Good spot that man.

Surely to god they have already got this??, what was all the hoo haa about a year or so ago when planning permission was granted ????

That was outline planning permission - i.e. "Yes, you can build a stadium of that specification and that kind of appearance on the site". This appears to be full planning - so the detail of what it will look like and be made of etc. We shoudl see some new renders soon.

Just to add to this. Peel put a £400 million tender out last week for the construction of the port and the supporting infrastructure (which I would assume includes all the stadium access roads and modifications to the M60 exits).

its coming, not long now .... shall we set up a viewing pod at barton to watch them build, i seriously cant wait to take the odd cheeky day off to go and see

That project looks huge,so a little 20,000 seater stadium will be nothing to them.

Up and running and creating jobs in Salford, surely just a matter of rubber stamping through and start dates sorted.

Who wants to bet that Peel submitted their originl plan for a Leigh/HJ type stadium?
