It won’t be the end of the world playing elsewhere for a few years but it’s not ideal, particularly for those Iron supporters travelling in from the west, unless it’s Donny of course. If it’s Gainsborough, for many exiles, it will just add another 30mins there and 30 back.

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?”
I think that’s a fair point. I wouldn’t want Newcastle’s owners if I was a supporter and it may well have pushed me away to support a local non league team. I’d like to have a better idea where the money that’s funding SUFC is coming from. At the moment it seems invisible due to the lack of filed accounts of owners businesses on Companies House (the usual go to, to understand these matters). Take Oldham’s owner, for example. We can easily check out and verify how he’s made his money and how that might well be funding the club. Some say, it doesn’t matter to them. Fine, I appreciate that, but it’s pretty important to me and I suspect many others.
If a survey was carried out throughout the leagues on whether fans were happy with there owners bet it would be pretty high percentage whom weren’t.
Spending too much, Too little, Big ambitions, No Ambitions, Skeletons in the closet etc etc.
We all want the best for our clubs

Probably about the same time you could go for a pint in the Iron bar about 30mins in… go for a pint stay in the bar it made a fair bit no doubt. Then they turned the TV Screens off so you had to watch the match

Can anyone explain to me why Hilton is apparently leaking information out via some fan’s twitter account and not making proper public statements?

Because the said fan “reached out” to him, and he answered. There is no problem everything is in hand so no need for any official statement beyond that already issued 2 weeks ago.
