Starting the long road to salvation

Sam Kirby

ONE week after the Advertiser exclusively revealed the beginning of work to the much-anticipated City of Salford Stadium, club supremo John Wilkinson hosted an offical launch day to tell the rest of the press what we already knew - the £35m project was underway.

While the site at present resembles an overgrown wasteland, the bulldozers are hard at work and in two years, 67 acres of the 80 acre site will be transformed into a £130m sporting and leisure development, at the heart of which will sit the new stadium.

   Markinirlam. Firstly, I'm so sorry that you live in Irlam. Traffic is a nightmare. I assume you would be happier if this stadium was being built in Broughton or somewhere similar making you just another NIMBY (not in my back yard)

   Why do we need yet another stadium in Greater Manchester. Is the traffic around junction 12 of the M60 not bad enough already. I live in Irlam and like most other residents have to suffer queues of commercial vehicles and other non residents using the A57 as a ratrun. Let them share someone elses facility instead of making life miserable for local people.
