Nicknames are fine. Can’t wait to hear.

Don’t think the mods allow members to be named for obvious reasons.
They’re Pretty keen on the libel aspects and delete where necessary much to our dismay, but they have a job to do.1 user thanked author for this post.
An increasingly apparent reason for respecting member anonymity is the increasing thinly veiled threats of physical violence from some supporters that the Unity Group and other groups and individuals seem to align themselves to. Threats from individuals with a track record of physical violence so not to be sniffed at. You can wax about ‘hiding’ but some of us want to speak our mind and still attend matches without fear of getting lamped by thugs.

Don’t worry. You only have to worry about this if you are a ‘toxic element’ and then you would deserve to get lumped by the ‘true fans’ of the Iron NKVD for unity among the fanbase. So long as you’re a good fan, with no wrongthink, you will be fine. Can’t have disunity if those who might disagree get a fist to the face.

One must commend the rather splendid jet washing — a truly admirable effort. However, one cannot help but observe that the broader endeavour amounted to little more than a rather vulgar exercise in masculine posturing, serving principally as a vessel for Mr Stuart Maw’s quite considerable ego.
Perhaps he might consider returning to his former vocation of retrieving canine excrement from the streets of Winterton — a pursuit for which he appears admirably suited, given his apparently boundless reserves of energy.
One is reminded, of course, that this is the very same gentleman who issued threats to remove the club flag from his residence upon being denied a ticket for the Hereford away fixture. The sheer sense of entitlement on display is, frankly, quite breathtaking.3 users thanked author for this post.
You may be better served disassociating yourselves (the Unity Group) from those sorts of threats and online comments then because at least one of your group and members of Iron Hour seem happy to court it, or turn a blind eye to it.

Given that a considerable number of the Unity Iron board are understood to be former members of the now defunct Scunthorpe United Official Supporters Club, one feels it is only proper to request a degree of transparency regarding certain outstanding matters.
It is rather remarkable, that a body of such supposed standing managed to vanish so entirely without so much as a forwarding address, a final statement of accounts, or indeed a word of explanation to its paid up membership.

This was your first post. It doesn’t seem to be the best opener if you were really seeking rational discussion.
Some of these comments are hilarious.
You all look like clowns. Just hate speech and jealousy.
I have no inclination to clarify any of your misinformation.
The unity group will be at the hut as usual on friday . Uti4 users thanked author for this post.
Nice to see you on here Ironrob, did the club put you up to it?
The fans on here tend to be long serving and loyal to Scunthorpe United FC, the club itself is their priority and not any individual who may own, manage, work for or play for it.
Neither do they take kindly to being preached to about their club by ‘five minute fans’ who appear from nowhere and eventually disappear even quicker.
Some of your predessors however have slated other supporters and other supporter groups, especially Stuart, Jerry and Earl.
The club is not helping your cause either by hand-picking supporter representatives and not engaging with others who may offer challenge or new ideas.
For the record, of all the owners, of all the managers, of all the staff, of all the players and of all the celeb supporters, we on Bru are still here and still supporting and will be until are toes are pointing up!
Just like we are sitting now waiting for the accounts, waiting for plans for the future and worrying if our club is safe and will still be safe going forward, just as we have done for the past x amount of years, 50 plus in my case.

I’d wager there’s no one on here who agrees with everything he says and posts, and some of us have had a few recent issues regarding posts on goalkeepers, but the bottom line is we all have a great deal of respect for his views and fundraising efforts, as Mick West pointed out. As a group, we don’t always see eye to eye and have the odd fall out, but that’s the nature of healthy debate and being on a forum. Being ‘yes’ men and women, we are not. And long may it continue. We also do our be best to moderate the site and don’t hesitate to act if we see potentially libelous or defamatory posts, as awaywego pointed out.
