I am totally lost as to where the future of the club stands and have no confidence in taking a position on David Hilton … less reservation regarding Peter Swann. Things have never been worse in my 60 years of supporting the Iron. But there’s also something else going on. Huge support at the friendlies, healthy season ticket sales, Tamworth tickets going like hot cakes. Some will call it the ‘cult of Dave.’Others just blind faith. For me it’s compelling evidence that our club is rooted in the community, that we don’t have much but treasure those memories of what we so recently did have. It’s the sense that it may possibly all be gone soon … who actually knows? But the fans are just rallying to what they CAN do … and letting the rest work through. I think the word is ‘defiance’ and it may just be enough to guarantee some sort of future. I hope so.
