Having read a few posts on the Warriors forum it seems a story has been concocted about our owner’s underlying reasons for taking over the club. I can only assume this is to dissuade a certain player from joining us. Apparently the Doc only took over the club because he wanted to impress Salford City Council and in return get planning consent for a racecourse next to the stadium.

I did find this quite amusing considering our councils biggest puppet master, the mighty Mr Whittaker of Peel Holdings, previously failing in this regard after years of buttering up the town hall hierarchy.

I'd love a racecourse next to the stadium; top idea.

Yes build one between the beer tent and the car park.

No seriously there is no land considering Port Salford's future development. The only place is Worsley Park a few miles up the road.

There is someone interested in developing the land north of the m62 , its not the landowner.

I think there was talk of the Doc having business partners who develop race courses all over the world and people put 2 & 2 together.

I'd be more than happy for one to be built on the land between Leigh Road and the M62 and I'd be even happier that it would have Karen Garrido spitting chips.

Should be more than interesting to see how what pans out over the coming months.

I live in Worsley village and I have to be honest can only think there would be benefits to building a race course on that land, it's farm land at the moment which I'm pretty sure is just used for grazing. Also think the plan includes a slip road direct from the motorway and with the planned station would you'd think bring plenty the the area.

I fully expect though the Karen Garrido brigade to be against it as it spoils there beautiful vista of the stadium and farm

What about the traffic on the way to work?

"just used for grazing"

so what? Over half the world's farming is pastoral farming. It could be making quite a lot of money.

We must realise that many people may not want a race course near their homes.

No really don't believe what anyone else says on here you're incredibly funny.

Where is Worsley Village in relation to the rest of Worsley?

I think they class it as the bits between the Gilbert down just past the Barton arms and then just passed the Green.

All I know is it was on all the post when I moved to where I live now.
