| JGR I can only assume that your friend is no other than Phil H.
Firstly may I say I owe MK an apology since I did jump on the bandwagon of trying to ridicule him on this very forum and have to say it was wrong to do so.
I actually formed part of the meet and greet team who escorted MK and Martin Vickers to the meeting and was able to have a very long chat with him and found him to be very down to earth. He clearly knows how to work an audience as he had everyone's attention at the meeting , but then as he is offering Swinton the only prospect of returning to the town he would.
During our talks he made it clear that he would like Salford to play Swinton as a return gesture and the dates we are looking at is the end of January, early February. Any later and both teams would be in the thick of league fixtures.
He clearly sees Swinton as becoming a partnership benefiting Salford but didn't rule out the fact that there was no reason why both clubs could one day feature in Super League, now how damn good would that be?
Like I mentioned to him the rivalry between Swinton and Salford is as good if not better than that of Man Utd and Man City then only difference is that our rivalry is due to a far better product in my opinion.
Welcome to the Lions Mr Koukash.

| Amusing to see Michigan Red go into a meltdown every time Swinton get a mention on here.

| I read Michigan Reds comments and in all fairness I can't blame him, I was very scathing in some of my comments. I did however think we had struck an accord when our paths crossed at the RL Final after the game in the Lime Bar, clearly not.
He questions why MK would want to "waste his money" well he clearly doesn't understand the individual that is MK, the developer. The site in Swinton is central in what is perceived to be the heart of the City of Salford and with ownership of that land in the hands of the local council it makes it so much more attractive than the land at Barton which of course means MK getting Peel Holdings on board as well.
Clearly and in fairness Mich hasn't been privy to Mk's full development plans for the area around the old Ambrose Barlow School site but I can confirm it encompasses much more than a 3000 seat stadium.
Mich states he fails to understand why MK would want to get involved with Swinton, although accepting that this time last year the " basket" case that was Salford was a better prospect due to them playing and in fairness I use that word loosely, in the top tier of RL in Europe which isn't difficult since there are no other alternatives in Europe. However at last nights meeting MK outlined his desire to own Swinton subject to getting his way with the development and turn them into the best team at the level they play and not ruling out the possibility of both clubs one day challenging in the top tier.
As for apologising to MK in person, well indeed when we met last night I did bring the subject up and he was gracious in my comparisons.
Far better the person who can admit to being wrong than the man who holds a grudge hey my friend Michigan.

Don't worry he's got you as a foe, so unless he's prepared to eat humble pie and read your post then I suspect the grudge may be held in perpetuity.

No not been on the radio since the halcyon days Mark and/or Lard.
As I say I restrict my views on Swinton to here.
