    It is clear the culture is absolutely toxic and a number of players have seen it as an opportunity to take the piss.

    Karacan, Cox and now Hill have all questioned the professionalism of certain players, but worryingly we are now a year on from the interview with Jem and absolutely nothing has changed!

    Some of the things I have heard you wouldn’t believe and these probably only scratch the surface as to what is actually happening down there.

    I also understand one of the players listed in the thread above has already gone. I don’t use the term wage thief lightly but we’ve certainly had a few of late!

    For those who do live far away, IronBru will you be allowed & able to live tweet the event? For past events they were so appreciated.

    I believe the club will be tweeting updates tonight.

    Didn’t Swann extend the stadium sponsorship for a further 10 years?

    Can’t remember the game…

    Steve torpey in front on the DRE, cross comes in, open goal from about 3 yards out and somehow managed to head it into the ground and Miss. Might have even gone over the bar.

    Aye, it was pretty bad. Shrewsbury the year we went up.

    Enjoyed taking the piss out of that scruffy git Pete Winkleman, of MK Dons fame, who was hopping around on a piss soaked floor whilst trying to wash dog shit of his fancy shoes at Dagenham.

    In typical Iron fashion, we were coasting at 3-0 up with twenty to go before that huge thunderstorm and the inevitable last minute equaliser!

    I think the lad who just signed pro terms is in goal today. Cannot be any worse than Watson. Can’t be many goalkeepers that have conceded as many as him over a five year period.

    There seems to be a discrepancy here. Are they stewards or are they security personnel?

    The ones with the handcuffs are all outsourced.

    For balance, the fan jumped over the wall and appeared to swing a punch at the steward. I do not know what happened in the build up, but his actions cannot be condoned.

    There were, however, enough stewards in the vicinity to deal with him appropriately without the use of cable ties and handcuffs once he was taken to the floor.

    The heavy handed stewarding has undoubtedly led to this point and I fear we will see more ugly scenes in the final three home games.

    Told the fan will be punished with a season ticket for next season!😉

    The guy that jumped over the wall was an idiot, but a knee to the back and application of handcuffs was completely over the top. I have never seen anything like it in a football stadium.

    He’s improved, but it was an awfully low bar.
    I’d be amazed if another League team take a punt.

    No, not at the moment, however he is going to be circulating an email address where he can be contacted in the next few days.

    There has definitely been some unacceptable behaviour this season, but the overzealous stewarding is actually inciting more trouble. The fact stewards are visibly carrying handcuffs does not sit right with me. There were at least two heavies with them last night!

    I was also concerned that said heavies had at least two young ladies trying to control the crowd whilst they watched from a distance. I do fear somebody is going to get hurt before the end of the season.

    Interesting comments from Keith in the presser today. Wouldn’t say if he wanted to keep him and wouldn’t be drawn on whether he’d had a good season. He clearly has and there’s no doubt that he has been our player of the season, but I still think he will struggle to get a league club when he leaves in the summer. Time will tell.

    He’s had a good season, but I’d be surprised if he stays in the football league.

    Cribb will be on the radar of much bigger clubs.
    Is he being played to escalate the transfer fee?

    Yes if he plays ten games we will get another £5,000 as part of the compensation agreement. Leicester have been keen for a year and Newcastle are also keeping tabs. He won’t be here next season. Given our academy is category three we won’t get much of a fee. Think it is £3k per year between the ages of 9-11 and £12,500 per year between the ages of 12-16. Think he has been here since he was 8..

    The worst for a long time. This was the bloke that forgot to play added time in an FA Cup match last year and brought the players back out to ‘finish’ the half before starting the second. Absolutely incompetent.

    Hill and Jarvis just don’t get on we were led to believe yesterday in conversation, how true just don’t no.

    Have heard recently that his attitude is questionable at best.

    The strikers have little to no positional sense and their movement is generally very poor. Sadly, on the rare occasion they do get it right, the delivery and service up to them was also abysmal.

    It does appear that the stewarding has been particularly poor this season, but I’d argue the worst incidents I’ve witnessed happened under the previous ownership. Remember Lincoln in the play offs or the Hull ‘sponsors’ farce? It is Swann’s problem now, of course, but there have always been issues with stewarding at GP.
