SUFC is a valuable asset to our community and The Iron Trust were successful in their application to have it listed as so. Therefore the council should be assisting to ensure our Club remains as such.
What other venue in Scunthorpe is there where crowds of over 3500 fans gather regularly to support our Club and thus supporting our town and businesses.
We have to consider our children and grandchildren who attend and will be the future supporters, they need to be able to come together and feel a part of something of community value.
Our Club has kept Scunthorpe on the map and without it what would there be left to celebrate in our town. During the tenure of Steve Wharton we had so much to feel proud of and we were known as a great small Club. Two owners have been allowed to put at risk the continuation of SUFC.
THE COUNCIL, THE IRON TRUST, LOCAL BUSINESS PEOPLE AND ALL OUR FANS NEED TO PULL TOGETHER TO SAVE SUFC IN WHATEVER SHAPE OR FORM WE CAN.
I ask could THE Iron Trust look into fund raising on matchdays.
Lincoln City Was saved with huge help from their supporters. We have proved we have the fan base with recent gates showing massive enthusiasm.
We cannot allow two recent owners to demolish the existence of SUFC. who entered the Football League in 1950, and just sleep-walk into non-
existence.
