I don’t know why some supporters think that we will be ok if we drop into non-league football. We definitely WON’T with the SWANN family still owning our Club. There would have to be some massive changes. = New owners, bigger playing budget. Even with changes its is very, very difficult to re-gain league status and I would imagine our Club would be folded. With SWANNS track record surely everyone must realize now that him and his family have no interest whatsoever in Scunthorpe United existing as football club.
I don’t think it’s the fact that everyone is thinking it’s ok, probably closer to the fact that we need some optimism to keep us attending games, or else what’s the point ?
Southend are in a worse position than us, both on and off the field and seem to have galvanised themselves recently. Oldham have fallen from greater heights than ourselves and have an owner who really doesn’t give a f**k, yet their away support the other week was fantastic.
Every opinion from a Scunthorpe I’ve spoken too/read on here and elsewhere all know we are in non-league for the long haul, and the national league may not be the point we bottom out; but at some point you’ve got to accept the situation and support the club in whatever way you can.
1. There is no point trying to support an organisation whose owner no longer cares.
2. We don’t HAVE to accept the situation, we can walk. I’ll always want my club to do well, but like a kicked dog, eventually I’ll bite.
