We weren’t going to be Ilkeston Iron, but the fear of that was spread by poor communication by Hilton
It wasn’t poor communication by Hilton, it was a combination of people not listening to what he said, and other spreading pure bullsh1t.
Hilton never once said anything about Scunthorpe playing at Ilkeston, he said Ilkeston have far better training facilities and the team would train their until a suitable place could be found locally, next thing we know everybody is screaming from the roof tops that he wants to move the whole club there and do an MK Dons with Scunthorpe!
Where did I say anything about us playing at Ilkeston? I also have pointed out that such was unfounded. So why make out my critique is like that? I know it’s easier to make those not enamoured with Hilton all sound delusional, but please don’t.
It’s just unreasonable in my opinion. Moving our training facilities there was a poor decision which deserved critique. Even if you agree with it, in a free country such is allowed and those in authority (i.e. Hilton) should be able to withstand it. Such a decision was bound to raise eyebrows, and everyone bar those more trusting in Hilton had red flags about mergers. It’s what fans of other clubs thought. Again, I didn’t think that, but this could have been avoided if this was communicated sufficiently. There has been no communication from the club over matters, as usual, and we’re left with guessing games. This is poor.
As for the communication over 1899, the fact so many questioned shows how well it was communicated. It wasn’t.
