Salford Community Stadium – Update

Salford City Council has formally ended all negotiations with Jacobson Management regarding the future of Salford Community Stadium.

Jacobsen Management were introduced to the stadium by representatives of Salford Red Devils RLFC – not by the council.

It has not been possible for the council to progress negotiations and carry out a detailed due diligence exercise as required in a timely manner.

We understand how difficult and uncertain this situation has been for supporters, staff, players and everyone connected to Salford Red Devils. We share your frustration and concern. Like you, we care deeply about the future of the club and the role rugby league plays in Salford’s sporting identity and community life.

The council stepped in to acquire full ownership of the stadium to help secure that future. We remain committed to working with all our stadium tenants and partners to ensure the stadium delivers for the whole of our city – and to ensuring Salford Red Devils have a stable and sustainable home.
