I feel very proud and privileged to have worked at our Scunthorpe United for over ten years and felt and witnessed the success we had with promotions, crowds of 5000 plus and several Wembley appearances. The club was then run as one from the very top to the very bottom. From the Chairman down to the programme sellers and everyone in between. This is what breeds success. We also had a good affiliation within the community and fans were considered an essential part of the club. I saw both sides being an ardent supporter and also an employee. The Swanns came in and most of the existing staff either left or were made redundant, people who had been loyal to the club over many years. I was lucky as had already retired so didn’t have to work under the Swanns and witness in the last few years the demolition of our Club. It now seems the Swanns are walking away but I will believe it when new owner/owners take over. SWANNS WORDS “THE CLUB WILL BE IN A BETTER POSITION WHEN I LEAVE THAN WHEN I TOOK OVER”. We shall see. How many of us supporters believe this?
