No, built the cantilever which was a special stand.
@RoyMBE @yourseddon A brilliant design. Gutted to see it go. I think Scunthorpe had the first cantilever stand followed by Sheff Wednesday. Ours was class. Did they also do the scoreboard end?

I would hope so Andrew but @LiamBradford84 at MUTV just said he could not! This amazed me as I am sure certainly in the early stages of the competition players would have been 15, as was an Arsenal player last season.Perhaps Liam could explain or did I hear wrong?!
@RoyMBE He can actually play in the youth cup.

Well done, and well deserved Alan, top man.
If you’d told me as a young Man Utd professional trying to make my way in the game, that I’d be back there over 30 years later with a PhD celebrating students graduating, I think I would’ve had you locked up! It’s mad where life takes you, it really is! The twists and turns eh?

Harold Hardman the small man behind representing Manchester https://t.co/BBekLugdOl of the three great chairman the club had. John Davies, James Gibson and him. ALL put the club first.
One of the most iconic, sad, but truly beautiful pictures in the history of Manchester United. Real Madrid in Salford at the grave of Eddie Colman. President Santiago Bernabeu laying flowers. A Tale of Two Cities.

Saw his debut at Bolton November 1955. Lived 5 minutes walk away in Archie Street by Ordsall Park. The world of football at his feet until...
Born Ordsall, 1st November 1936, ‘Snake Hips’ Eddie Colman. Captain of the Youth team that won the youth cup in 1955. He went on to win 2 league championships playing 108 games scoring 2 goals in a career that ended on the runway at Munich. Eddie was the youngest babe to die.

Surely you and the Salford Elected mayor Paul Dennett have or could get access as to whether these 'owners' claims have any substance ?
Today's decision is disappointing - but we will keep working to ensure the proud history and future of Salford Red Devils are secured. Read the joint statement from the Mayor and @salford_mayor.

There is absouletely no way that the people who have been supposedly 'owners' deserves anything, so IF they have suddenly won the lottery and do want to start afresh they have damaged the Salford club we grew up to love,and support so much the have no possible merit at all.
@johnnyddavidson I've said for a while John we're in for some twists and turns in this Salford saga. We're all banking on liquidation. What the hell do we do if by some miracle money does land??? 😔
