You mean SALFORD Civic Centre? In the Eccles and SALFORD constituency? Many years ago part of the SALFORD Hundred. I also distinctly remember playing against Swinton schools (e.g. Moorside) in sports in SALFORD schools competitions.

Not sure why the locals are so snobby about it. It's name means Pig Town, for goodness sake. There are a number of places in Salford that I would prefer to live. Bit weird trying to be part of another city.

I’ve got to say, I do like the design of the building. I know it’s just a big box but I think it works.

If they get the transport infrastructure right and there’s enough facilities (catering etc) to maintain the crowds when there’s both a match and an arena event on, it could be great.

Not that I have an awful lot of confidence, I’ll be honest.

By some accounts there’s going to be no Metrolink out to Ashton-under-Lyne for a few years.

MP describes HS2 plans to suspend Ashton tram link as 'disastrous'

"We cannot have a situation where this line is mothballed and replaced by a bus replacement service," Andrew Gwynne said

So the transport situation is going to get worse, not better.

Yeah I read about this.

You'd imagine common sense would prevail and they'll throw a few more billion at it and sort the tram situation out.

Looks like a biggish building being built opposite the arena on the other side of the canal. Do you know what that is?
