This stadium issue has made the club look a joke since Red City ceased to exist, built up the hopes of fans by releasing the artisits impressions of the grand design, saying were gonna be at the top end of earners/salary cap and basically become world beaters....what a let down again, I dont know how long this can keep going on for.....oh hang on 2011 when the next franchises are dished out and then the club wont need a new shiney 20000 seater stadium for the national leagues.

Salford Star articles on construction projects tend to be overly negative & critical (for example Wilky's proposals to regenerate & rejuvenate Buille Hill Park and the museum) so I'm not taking anything in there as the whole picture
As Oddball in Kelly's Heroes said "Just think positive, baby"
"I didn't see Risman, Todd or Watkins in red vests.
I saw a bit of Steve Gibson and Blakely at his best.
Now I'm watching Alker lead us on against the rest,
As the Reds go marching on ...... "
