    Please change your tone.

    I find it hard to believe that any true Scunthorpe fan is revelling in recent events.

    It may transpire that you have been right all along, but this is not the time for gloating and posts like this are giving our forum a bad name.

    I thought it was probably a red, but there was arguably a foul on Whitehall in the build-up to it.

    The capacity cap was absolutely true. They relaxed it prior to the Peterborough Sports game, but it is still capped at 4500 and we are only allowed 50% of the stand’s capacity in each stand

    It may be a big deal to an individual or a small company. I find it concerning and wonder how many others may come out of the woodwork in the coming weeks. It is a shame that this sort of thing is playing out in the background when things on the pitch are looking up.

    As far as I am aware the Trust haven’t been invited to any recent SAG meetings. Perhaps somebody from the Trust could confirm.

    Rumour on the terrace at Tamworth was that Guiseley is the stadium fallback option, not Gainsborough.

    That one has been doing the rounds for a little while.

    I heard about a potential capacity cap earlier in the week, but it was initially rubbished by my source. I understand the club have since been notified that several issues must be rectified

    I am sure I read somewhere that the first draw had been delayed but can’t find it now.

    I wouldn’t be lumping on at those odds. Too much going on that could derail the season IMO

    They will have had to wait for the fit and proper tests, which can take a couple of weeks. I would imagine there is also some paperwork for each of them to sign.

    I am told the first board meeting is later this week, so I would assume they will be confirmed officially after that.

    It is interesting that he is still looking for more directors. I have heard there may be another couple on the way and the advert was also attached to the news of the new appointment.

    Having a diverse board is a positive step, but how many directors do we need? We are going to need a bigger table and a few extra chairs at this rate!

    The first two rounds of fixtures are live! There are five games per matchday for all league/cup weekends. Once SUFC exit a cup competition, there will be no further fixtures for that competition.

    The max score per game is 12 points (correct score + 2 bonus points)

    Scoring is as follows:
    Points for correct score – 10
    For example predict 3-0 and the result is 3-0 award 10 points

    Points for guessing a draw – 5 points
    For example: predict 2-2 and the result is 1-1 award 5 points

    Wrong score but predicted the correct winner – 5 points
    For example: predict 1-0 and the result is 2-0 award 5 points

    Points above are not cumulative, for example: predict 2-2 and the result is 2-2, you gain 10 points, NOT 15 points

    There are also cumulative bonus points for the correct number of goals per team.
    For example: Predict 3-0 and the result is 3-1 award – 1 bonus point
    Predict 2-2 and result is 2-2 award – 2 bonus points

    Hope that explains it
    Thanks to everybody who has signed up for this season. It is very much appreciated.

    Hilton invited us in via a third party. The third party initially billed it as a podcast/interview on the phone. I said I would think about it and spent the next 24 hours convincing the other lads to do it. As mentioned previously, we were all reluctant given the hammer we receive from a select few on social media on a daily basis. In the end, it transpired the third party got the wrong end of the stick and clarified that Hilton only wanted an off-the-record chat. On that basis, I politely declined. I have never had any communication with Hilton directly since he arrived at the club.

    We always agreed not to interview players under contract. The main reason was that Humberside paid a substantial amount for access. I guess Hilton is taking a more relaxed view on it.

    Received an email from the Alzheimer’s Society confirming they have received the kind donation toney made with his prediction league winnings. Thank you to everyone that took part last season and made this possible.

    I will check up at some point today but we are definitely close to the £200 mark now. I have covered the VAT amount and cleared the invoice so it is all confirmed.

    Will do a full count today.

    Callum Roberts’ shirt is available if we would like to go for that, but would need to confirm with the club today as they have a lot of interest. Prices as below:

    Home – £200 + vat
    Away – £125 + vat
    Third – £125 + vat

    There was supposed to be three today but apparently one is ill and it may only be two. Cosmos Matwasa likely to be one of the three.

    Had a busy week but promise to tally up over the weekend.

    I dont think we are there just yet in terms of shirt sponsorships, but I’ll ask SUFC for a list of players available after the next batch of signings and we can put it to a vote. Hilton said there are three more in for medicals this Friday so hopefully we will have plenty of players to choose from!

    BTW – all 2022/23 winnings have been paid. Toney informed me that he is donating his winnings to the Alzheimer’s Society. Well done that man!

    I think once the novelty wears off we’d be lucky to get half of that over to Gainsborough on a match day.

    I’m fully aware of the Twitter thread, but I have been told from a very good source (No, not Swann Max) that the National League are looking at ratifying it over the weekend ahead of the full AGM next week. I find it interesting that no official channels have announced that it has been approved.
