unfortunately a group of travellers have set up camp on the site of our proposed new stadium.

You sure they're not the contruction company?....Ha!

or the new swinton team squad for next season even, after all at least they'll be used to moving from one ground to another.

It'd definitely be in the local residents' interests then to fully support any future redevelopment of this site - maybe a sports stadium of some sort? This would prevent it becoming a well used site for "travellers" in the future.

the club better get their finger out and build a ground save it happening again, it isnt as if we havent been waiting long enough for one. somehow i dont think its going to happen not in the next couple of years or so.

They have been regular visitors to the Agecroft area ever since HMP Forest Bank was built.Apparently when one of their boys is due for release they come to welcome him back to civilisation.

Important to design things such that facilities on the site get used most days, especially if this has become "established custom and practice".

No they now have residence on the Bunzl site at the bootom of Bridge St.

Just to confirm before any Hunslet fans come on this thread, the Gypos in question are not any of us Pikeys from York !

I think if the Gypo's wanted to buid a caravan park similar to the one at Dale Farm, it would happen quicker than a proposed "New Stadium", even with Pikey Salford Councils backing
