Salford Red Devils provide fresh update on stadium plight with short-term tenancy agreement on the cards

Salford Red Devils say they are in the process of obtaining a short-term extension to their tenancy agreement for the Salford Stadium while a longer-term deal as a more permanent fix is being worked out.

The Red Devils have played their home games at the Salford Stadium since 2012, moving there from The Willows, which had been their home for 110 years.

As detailed in an initial statement at the start of November, due to issues surrounding their tenancy agreement, the future of the club altogether is under very serious threat.

Their home is jointly-owned by Salford City Council and ‘Peel‘, a land and property firm. It is the latter who aren’t playing ball in allowing the tenancy agreement to be extended, with the council currently in the process of trying to acquire a majority share to ease the process.

The council’s Mayor – Paul Dennett – has publicly thrown his support behind the cause, expressing a desire to see the Red Devils remain in their home along with a promise to do all he can to aid their drive to survive.
