Swinton Lions Petition - Please sign : Tue Dec 17, 2013 3:46 pm  
For those who dont know, Swinton Lions are faced with a winding up order with the court case scheduled for January 2014. Whilst the HMRC order is only £17k, their overall debt is said to be close to £100k.

Marwan Koukash has expressed a strong interest in taking over the ownership of Swinton Lions, but he will only do so if Salford City Council give their full support to a new stadium within Swinton town centre which would include restaurants and other revenue raisers for the club.

Whilst I believe Swinton fans are also looking at the option of a supporters based ownership, Dr Koukash is their only real hope of a bright future. I would therefore ask and encourage you to sign the below petition in support of the proposed new stadium development for Swinton Lions IN Swinton.

Many thanks and who knows, the opening game of the 2015 Super League season may be a derby between Salford and Swinton infront of a sell out crowd.

I hope everyone signs up for this and gets the message to other people to do the same. The new ground would be in the heart of Swinton and would bring RL back to the town.

It would be good to see Swinton move back to Swinton. But would the RFL allow MK to own two clubs in the same city?

It's a tricky one but I couldn't see a monopoly or a case of conflict of interest unless he started dual registering first team players in order to boost Swinton's championship chances, in which case he would rightly be stopped from carrying out such a process.

I would say if the teams were in the same division it would also become an issue.

Having discussed this very matter with Marwan Koukash, it seemed the likely scenario would be that his wife (Mandy) would be named as the Swinton Lions chairman as opposed to Marwan himself.

Every credit to those die hard Swinton fans, salt of the earth. But looking at the situation rationally Swinton as a professional club should have died along with Station Road in 1992.

Good luck to the Pigtowners. Can't hurt to have a second strong team in the area, especially after what they did for us last year.

Where do the current/previous owners stand in all this ? There has been little coming out of the club for months.

A great shame for a one-time powerhouse club that was the third and last to win All Four Cups and were back to back First Division champions in '63' and '64.

As I understand it John Kidd (chairman) has stepped down and basically left his son Paul Kidd to pick up the pieces. They're in a mess financially with over £120k owed, fingers crossed Marwan Koukash gets involved.
