I thought Koukash was buying into Oldham? Is he just buying into every Greater Manchester club?!

The Oldham deal fell through when the chairman of the football club (Simon Corney) refused to sell because Koukash wanted to build a new stadium to house both the football and rugby club. Since then, the situation at Swinton has raised it's head and he wishes to now help them and rugby league as a whole in the City of Salford.

Over 500 signatures, great effort. If you haven't signed it yet please do.

The petition would have a lot more clout if the majority of signatories were from the Swinton catchment area rather than the general RL public who may be sympathetic but are unlikely to trouble the turnstile operator.

The majority of the signatures are from the Swinton/Salford area, however support from further afield can only assist and help the Council understand there is a genuine support to see Swinton Lions succeed.

On the flip side of the coin!

Re: Swinton Lions Petition - Please sign : Wed Dec 18, 2013 8:44 am  
Id like to thank each and every person for their signature. I'll be honest its not easy being a swinton fan. We have been through more than most. I was gearing up to watch another team this season as i thought we were gone. However, this has given us a slight glimmer of hope.

Please could each and every one of you urge all your RL friends to sign up. After all we are only 3 years away from our 150th birthday!

Thanks

Barnie!

Not sure that's his prime motive when it appears he has added the rather large condition that he will only get involved if allowed to build some retail/leisure/restaurant outlets alongside.

That's because Koukash as the successful businessman that he is, knows Swinton Lions will never become a sustainable club without their own ground in Swinton which can make them money through the associated revenue streams mentioned such as restaurants etc.

If Marwan wanted to make a quick buck, do you think he'd get involved? The answer is no, he'd probably just got and buy a few more horses. He wants to see Swinton succeed and he wants to see RL in Salford prosper.

Barnie!

I have a lot of time and respect for Swinton supporters. I remember back in January speaking to a few blokes in the LSV Legends Bar prior to the whiteout pre-season game and they were a top bunch. To travel over to Leigh in conditions like that for a friendly takes real dedication. I couldn't get back to Warrington that night so people must have had some nightmare journeys.

All the best, I hope things will start to look up soon.
