Great stuff from both Clubs and great words from MK.

Well done to both clubs for putting this together... lets see what the Marwan hating trolls make of this

Great idea, well done to both clubs but particularly Swinton for donating their share. Hopefully it will be well supported by the local community.

Where will it be played? I have doubts over the new stadium, will they lower the price they charge?

Lovely touch.

Marwan has his moments. He named a race horse after Steve Prescott and donates all the winnings.

There is a difference between the man and the owner.

As a man I'm sure he is a very nice man who does great charitable works.
As an owner he is there to promote Salford above all else. I would not confuse people slagging off Marwan the owner; the same as lenaghan the owner, heatherington the owner and McMannus the owner; as being the same as slagging Marwan off personally.

Whilst Wigan and Saints fans will never see eye to eye over the virtues of our teams and owners, that does not mean if we met them in the street we are going to abuse the men.

Well said.

Except Hethrington of course. He's not a nice individual and as trustworthy as Jack the Ripper in a brothel. From personal experience, I may add.

He may have his detractors, but this is a touch of class from a man who already, as mentioned, gives the winnings from his horse Steve Prescott to the Steve Prescott Foundation.

I met Marwan in Costco a few months back and he was a great bloke to speak to.

Great gesture. I may well pop over from Leeds for the afternoon for this.

What's being forgotten here is Swinton's involvement in this it takes two clubs to tango.

I don't think so Marshy, I'm sure everyone appreciates a great gesture from both clubs - don't get touchy or you'll have MichiganRed on your case

?

I don't think Swinton have been forgotten. It seems to me that it's more an observation on Marwan and how people react to him. Fans of certain clubs - one in particular - like to obsess over him, and always in the negative. So, you'll see lengthy threads about what he says on Twitter, provided it can in some way be used to criticise him, but you can be pretty sure that those same people won't mention this particular gesture.
