Reds Stadium Update
Further to today’s scheduled meeting of the development team (Salford City Reds, City of Salford, Salford City College and Peel Holdings) regarding the proposed Reds’ stadium development, high on the agenda was the recent announcement that LSC investment has not been allocated to the project in this round of funding.
The outcome of the meeting was very positive, mapping out all of the options that the team now have available to them, to ensure the delivery of the stadium within the required time frames.
After the meeting, Peter Crompton, Principal of Salford City College said:
“LSC funding is not and never has been the only way of funding our interest in the stadium development.
“The college has other options available to it and these are continuing to be explored by the development team.
“We are very positive about our role in the development of this essential acquisition for the college, the people and the City of Salford.”
All partners in the development remain in a very positive mood despite the setbacks we have had to face from time to time. Confidence in the delivery of the development within the timeframe remains high due to the quality and strength of the development team partners.
Reds’ Chairman, John Wilkinson said:
“We have the land, we have planning permission and we have a very supportive and highly qualified team working this project through and it will be delivered.
“The people of the City of Salford deserve a high quality stadium along with one of the best college facilities in the country, and that is what we will give them.
“We ask fans to continue to support and trust the club, in what is a highly complex development as we endeavour to deliver what is every fans dream.”
I hope that is true.
Seems strange that Wilkey says at the meeting we dont have any other way of funding it but Mr Crompton says we do have other ways of funding it i hope to god he is right but i still think its another smoke screen just to shut us up.
