| I've just watched a feature on Sky Sports News, and presumably it'll be repeated a few times today.
Seems very nice. Capacity of 12 000, and in the shadow of the M60. There looks to be the now almost traditional mix of seating and standing. This could be the making of Salford.

| Seems a bit boring though. I mean, all the stands bar one are almost identical in height, size etc. I suppose they did that so they could fill in the corners if necessary.

| Cant wait to be sat on a coach for 2hrs stuck in the traffic for the Trafford centre on route to thier ground.
In all seriousness though, it does look like a very big step in the right direction, bless the willows but they had to move on to thrive. Hopefully now they can start pushing up thier supporter numbers.
Good luck to 'em i say.

| As GCH says, it's in the shadow of the M60.
I haven't been around that way since building started, is it highly visible and could a roof have something RL-related emblazoned across it?

| I actually quite liked the Willows, apart from not being able to see from one end of the ground to the other at night.
This looks like a great move for Salford though. let's hope they can kick on and build their fanbase enough to pay for it.
The only downside for me is that for the past 3 Leeds games at the Willows I've managed to park for free, on the road just a few metres from the Family Stand Turnstiles. Shortest distance from car to seat that I've known at any ground.

| I drove past the place a couple of weeks ago on the way back from Cheshire, seems a tidy little ground from what I could see of it. Traffic access from the M60 at busy times could be an issue though. We play them early on on a Friday night I believe, that might be a "fun" journey for me, seeing as I will probably be working till 5pm!

| Looked fairly tidy, although unfinished when I drove past it earlier in the year.
I don't remember an obviously big roof for advertsing El B but I could be wrong

| Somewhere in the deepest darkest recesses of my mind I have a vague recollection that the Willows is/was the oldest ground in rugby league – can anyone confirm?

I think Headingley might well be. IIRC Headingley was built in 1890 and Belle Vue was in 1895. I might be wrong but I think the other traditional stadiums in SL were all built after that.
