For those of you who aren't aware a group of fans decided to set-up a fundraiser to purchase flowers for the players wives/partners and a gift for the children involved in the Huddersfield incident as a way of apologising for the behaviour of a very small minority.
https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/sal ... ?utm_id=89
The initial target was £200 which was exceeded instantly and the sum currently stands at £690 after plenty of generous donations. Any surplus money left over is intended to be donated to a charity (or charities) of the players choice. Depending what the total finishes on it could be quite a sizeable sum going to charity. It would be great to turn such a negative for the club and the sport into a positive one.
Naturally some will agree and some wont, but already positive articles have appeared online via The Sun and Love Rugby League which can only be a good for the club, the sport and reputation of Salford fans in general.

Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.:1602.jpg |

I think it's a fantastic idea and lovely gesture. It shows that while we as fans aren't all resoonsible for the actions of a few idiots we do take colective responsibility for making it right and that we understand, whether it's fair or not, that their actions reflect on us all. I've not heard of something like this before but I think it's the perfect response and we should be sharing on social media to get the positive publicity it deserves
Well done to the people who came up with the idea and put it into practice

A total of £855 was raised in a day and a half. Donations had to stop online in order to withdraw the money and have it available in time for the Leeds game next Saturday.
Should have confirmation from the players which charity or charities they are going to donate to in the next day or so.
Great effort from Salford fans and the wider rugby league community.

| Just seen this on the BBC.
As a Giants fan who was at the game I just wanted to say excellent gesture and excellent way to show those who caused the incident are not the true Salford fans.  |
