As a Salford council Tax payer ..I used the link to the Salford.Gov website and voiced my opinion that I wasn't happy with my hard earned tax money going towards Blue seats in a new stadium built primarily for a team with a long standing association with the colour Red



This is the very quick reply



Hello Mr Student ,



I am in receipt of your complaint regarding the colour of the seats at the new Salford Reds Stadium.



This is actually a matter for the City of Salford Community Stadium Company and not the Council.



Although the Council has an interest in the Stadium it is actually a fully limited company and therefore has a Board and team that makes its own decisions, this being a design/construction one.



The seat colour decision was made in consultation with Salford Reds RFL Club and with a view to it eventually being a shared facility with another major sports team.



I will now be closing the complaint, but if you wish to take it further with the Stadium, you can contact them on:
