The old wooden structure is costing 350k this summer to keep it operational .
We were sold the dream ‘5 years away,2 years away,7 years away ‘ by our Alan Partridge wannabe former ‘custodian’ as he liked to call himself (if you want a snapshot of how to decay a club to almost the depths of oblivion over a 20 year period,i suggest go on YouTube and watch the ‘John Fenty stadium tour’ )
I don’t think we are ‘getting moist ‘ over it , we just recognise undeliverable promises – we had them , the excitement and hope it brings ,but for that hope to be dashed over and over again .
Now we have hope ,realistic hope and ambitions not above our station but at least not the comedown from all the broken promises .
I hope Mr Hilton can deliver ,but track record and projects surely cast doubt even from the most ardent Iron fan -retail enabling developments are dead in the water and councils ponying up money for Football Club stadiums long gone – if your new primary funder can pull it off at all ,he will not just be the saviour of Scunthorpe Utd but also a miracle worker .
Wasn’t it Fenty that offered the Conoco/Philips or whatever it was called stadium too? Don’t think it was.
Seems many Cods are the understanding we were spending above when we were in the Championship. Don’t think Steve Wharton would state that. And still many grumbled about him. Nobody can win.
Don’t think there are many fans that are totally content with there owners. As we know very little to be made in football so as we always ask why would they want our club?
If it wasn’t Swann, Hilton who would buy Scunny?.
Utd have Glazers they want rid of
Citeh Middle east owners. Whats right whats wrong?
