City College To Be Stadium Catalyst
January 8, 2009 by Paul Mc
Salford City Reds is delighted to announce that its stadium development partner, Peel Holdings are now working very closely with the newly formed Salford City College, with a view to them becoming the main catalyst in pushing forward the new City of Salford Stadium.
Salford City College was born on 1st January 2009 following the merger of Eccles, Pendleton and Salford Colleges. Its mission is to ‘inspire people to create opportunities and enrich lives through learning’.
A key part of this development will be the creation of new centres in accessible and attractive environments and the new Salford City Reds Stadium offers an exciting opportunity to create a superb college in what will be an iconic building.
Salford City College Principal, Peter Crompton said:
“This partnership development between the Reds and the college is part of the ongoing evolution between education and sport in the city of Salford. The development of a college at the Salford City Reds Stadium is part of the £100 million proposed investment in further education in Salford, under consideration by regional and national funding providers.”
The stadium’s position means students attending the college sited there will enjoy both excellent transport links and access to a range of first class facilities linked to the neighbouring Trafford Centre.
Commenting on the new developments, Reds CEO David Tarry said:
“We are delighted to be working with Salford City College, with whom the club has had a good working relationship in the past. This represents a great opportunity for education within the city to establish a far higher profile, working with its professional sports club as a key partner.”

I agree with Craig. The silence over the new stadium is deafening ! Surely the club must be in a position to say something. The prospects of moving there for 2010 would now seem impossible. Can we at al least be told what is going on?

p.s …and as your not answering any of my or the other peoples post i will not post anymore on this website, ignoring your fans does make them go away permanently.
