I think they should target Manchester for fans as well as community clubs. Hopefully they can become Manchester's team. I know they considered changing their name but could still target Manchester as Swinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a problem, though. If we did that, we'd have to call the England RL team the Moaning Minnies, as they serve the England RL community. In any case, thesee days, the community a team serves is far wider than the locality of the team base. People move away and watch on Tv or listen on the radio. I bet there are many current and former Lions followers who live outside the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Salford facing homeless and an already marooned Swinton and Oldham facing the drop, might it be time for the RFL to throw up a mea culpa and as they move into the Ethidad Campus get a new team playing out of the MRA? If I was the Red Devil’s I’d approach Salford city Fc about a ground share at the football club. what’s the MRA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
