They have stuck with their club for years being moved pillar to post and the board have done a great job of keeping the Swinton name alive, then in the space of a few months a once proud club has been reduced to a mere sham.'"
So you knew before Gary and everyone else that he would be coach? How and why are Swinton a mere sham, obviously in your opinion and not that of the people involved for many years?

I predicted on here the day that Steve resigned that someone from Warrington would replace him. I think I also predicted it way back in the summer when the whole thing was first announced.
How are Swinton a sham? Let's look at the squad on Sunday that faced Donny. By my count nine Warrington players (the lads who 'signed' on the quiet to all intents and purposes are still Wire players for mine) were in the squad. According to Scott Murrell's programme notes the other week lads turned up to play in Warrington gear, accompanied by the Warrington video man and other staff. Chris Bridge 'forgot' about training but was still picked to play a few weeks ago. I could go on all night but you get the picture. I have it on good authority that the Swinton (proper) players are getting sick and considering their future with the club.
The way Swinton have laid back and allowed us at Warrington to exploit the club is a disgrace, and an insult to the competition, fans and players past/present.

I cannot help thinking something is amiss at the Lions. I have an awful feeling that the money has dried up. Our board is skint and the only way we can continue to play is by being your rent boys. Our board has always held the supporters in contempt giving our little or no information about the club. They almost moved us to Darwen a few years ago without telling us. I really dont know where we go from here.

I suspect that is the case tbh. What happened to the new ground? That has all gone very quiet (again). This is all very sad to see.

Latest rumor is that the club has upset Folly Lane who were to be their partner in the new ground and Folly has walked away. Its a shambles!

Doesn't surprise me. The bizarre way the club acted in the week running up to Swinton v Leigh last year tells you a lot.

Our board has delusions of grandeur. They think that people care what they think. We are the worst run club in the world of sport and not just RL. No information, an unapproachable board, fans treated like the enemy. Im fed up to say the least.

| Swinton are in one big mess,they have relied on D.R.players,but will have to find 17 Swinton,only players for the challenge cup.Warrington would find their D.R players cup tied if they played v Toulose.

| I am sure the league will find a way to stop anyone being cup tied if necessary. Have Swinton still got players of their own waiting in the wings to get a game but being kept out by DR lads ? TBH i wouldn't be surprised if the league finishes up with a pool of players in the not too distant future who will be sent to play anywhere on any given day ,just like an employment agency , to try & save money in the game.

| Putting the general Swinton issue to one side, I think Chambers should be congratulated. He's left us to take the plunge as a coach in his own right. He could have stayed in his comfort zone but he hasn't. This isn't the same as the Dual Reg issue at all and it's very dissapponting to hear supposed professional RL journalists like Andy Wilson mocking it on his dull Twitter feed.

Perhaps youi could lobby the local authortity to finance and build you a Community Stadium? Hang on a minute...
Good luck to Gary Chambers and all at Swinton
