Do you ever do anything other than moan? Seriously get a life rather than derailing the thread.

Richly deserved JW.

Jeez......some people.
Have you any idea just how much time, money and bloody hard work this fella has devoted to keeping our club afloat

The stadium issues might be annoying everyone, (and btw I bet there's nobody more brassed off than the Chairman), but don't you think John Wilkinson deserves some recognition from the local community for all his hard work

well done wilko .... forget about last 25 years .... this is now the TIME mr wilko really needs to dig deep into the savings ... or salford rugby will become a BRAMLEY

Well said

I dont think we would have a club, as we know it anyway, without him. We would probably be like Swinton are now.

Excellent news. I'm not a great fan of the honours system but if there has to be one, why hasn't this guy got a Knighthood?

Well done Dr John.

Don,t you think that John Wilkinson has put enough money into the club over the years?

What has been your input apart from making stupid inane comments?

I suspect that years ago Bramley were unfortunate to have "coulders and shouders" like you as supporters.

Do you not understand the current financial situation at all?

Bingo. He might be pretty well off (!), but he's not got a bottomless pit of cash to plow into the club.

I'm not even go into GanEden's contribution...

Still, at least this award shows that some people appreciated what the man's done, not just for the club, but for Salford as a whole.
