I don't know about redeveloping it. No offence intended but they would be better dropping a big bomb on it and starting again!

it's a catch-22 situation that we've suffered from over the years too...



you know the ground isnt good enough, yet you've got to spend something on it to maintain it and at least keep it reasonable - which becomes wasted money when you are planning to move somewhere else and demolish the ground anyway.



there's been a fair few improvements to the Willows over the years (stands opposite shed, new roof on shed etc.), all of that at a cost, and yet the place is to be knocked down.



tough for Wakey to deal with given the franchise position.

I've got a soft spot for Wakey, and truly hope they can bounce back from what I think is the inevitable. Hats off to their board for trying as much as they can, but feel that other factors such as finance may have already doomed them.



It must be hard as a Wakey fan, as it must feel like your future has already been decided and nothing you try will change it.



Of course, all the rumour may just be that and it could be us dropping out but I really can't see it.

[iWakefield Trinity Wildcats should have had a new stadium in place by now and it will be a sad day if they get kicked out of the Super League just because they don't have a decent stadium ready for 2012.



Also if it came down to a two horse race between the Reds and the Cats for the boot in July well in my opinion the Salford City Reds are in a much stronger state than 'Wakey' any day of the week.[/i

I'm no Wakey fan but in terms of youth development, performance and even attendances I would think they have rated more highly than Salford over the last franchise period. That said if it is a two horse race for the final SL place I don't think Salford will be contesting it but they damn well should be, and be heavily handicapped by their failure to make any sort of impact since 2006.

The problem is most news has not really covered all the facts. This is only a temporary solution and we still intend to move to Newmarket. We will probably have a decision by December (more than likely the outcome we want). The fact that we are wanting to improve our ground now and some others are still behind us is a good thing.

So your solution would be to just give up on rugby league in Salford & Manchester at a time when the club can start selling itself much better in a modern new stadium? Maybe your ideal would be to kick out Harlequins, Catalans and Crusaders too and replace them with Halifax, Featherstone, Dewsbury and Batley. They could then rename the competition the 'Yorkshire County Superleague' sponsored by Yorkshire Airlines.

Ahhhh Yorkshire yes,a real credit to Super League especially when they can't even sort out who's playing in which kit and they have to call for Hilda to open up the kit room to wear a non-SL team's kit...

One plus I suppose would be that travelling fans could cycle to away games.



Superleague goes green!!

No mate it's Yorkshire it would be horse and cart
