Two men tried to plant flag of St George in centre circle
Far-right group calls it protest against Neville’s ‘treachery’
Salford’s League Two match against Oldham was briefly disrupted when two men tried to plant a flag of St George inside the centre circle at the Peninsula Stadium.
The men entered the field during the first half wearing white hoodies displaying the message “Gary Neville is a traitor” before being removed by stewards and police.
The far-right group Britain First later claimed responsibility for the stunt, saying they had “teamed up with local Salford patriots” to protest against the “treachery of Gary Neville” – in reference to the Salford owner’s decision this month to remove a union flag from one of his Manchester development sites.
