Souvenir Teamsheet

[saleiron]

The club are now selling retrospective “souvenir” team sheets of the recent “Legends” match at £2 a pop (plus £5 post if you don’t collect in person). These keepsakes omit the date of the match and any context. It will be a challenge for any Iron historians in years to come to understand when this took place and what was at stake.

We really are becoming avaricious, aren’t we?
Getting embarrassing.
We used to be known as a well run club, (we weren’t), now we’ll be known as the Trotters Traders of the National League.

Ah, avarice! One of the seven deadly sins you know.

Give it a month or 2 and they’ll be on the windowsill in the club shop for fans to help themselves to one.

Strangely, when an Oscar Wilde character referred to someone knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing, he was defining a cynic. Sounds more like our backroom staff leadership.

You don’t have to buy it,If people do it’s a few more quid. The club will have already stumped the cost of printing and they’re breaking the bank at £2.

No one has to buy it, but like many of the other recent tacky products, schemes and general cash grabs, it smacks of desperation and, imho, is indicative of an unhealthy culture.

You can also purchase the 2026/2027 team photo for a fiver, which (IMO) strangely has Michelle Harness sat front and centre.

Not knocking what she’s done for the club in the slightest but imagine Jim Ratcliffe, Marinakis or Todd Boehly sat in the centre of United’s/Forrest’s/Chelsea’s team photo…they’d be absolutely slaughtered!

Wow. Has any previous owner/Chair inserted themselves in a team photo? I don’t recall such an incidence.

To be honest, I expected to find one with “Football Man” Peter Swann gurning away front and centre, and though I’m sure there will be one, I can’t find it.

Second favourite Simon Elliott didn’t let me down though, but disappointingly Steve Wharton has joined him in the picture..

Whatever happened to Simon Elliott? He appears to have been superseded by a number of other Superfans, to the point that he seems to have disappeared. Someone must know why he doesn’t seem to come any more…

[saleiron]

Simon Elliott? He left the Board (last time) quickly and quietly, and hasn’t been seen at a game since-to the best of my knowledge. Very strange.

Seems likely to have been under a cloud as he’s been so noticeably quiet on United. Whatever the situation, in the past, there was just no stopping him repeatedly flashing his credentials.

Kept some rum company at times

Talking of old faces I spotted Lawsy at the Yeovil game…hair was still looking fantastic.
