Alexander changed seemingly overnight from fielding a team playing attacking football, who seemed to score at will, to fielding a team who seemed not to know very much at all.
We shall probably never know the reason, but I have always had my suspicions.11 users thanked author for this post.
As long as I’ve watched football there’s always been one rule for large clubs and another for the little clubs.
And probably always will be.

Nope.
It’ll end up as a fight NOT to drop any further.
Mark my words.
With an uninterested owner and a low budget we’re in for the same again next season wherever we are.1 user thanked author for this post.
All well and good.
Except…1. If the owner ain’t interested the money will be peanuts. And he does NOT appear to be interested.
2. If the budget is peanuts we won’t be a “big club” in NL. We’ll be scratting around for players no-one else wants. A bit like now, and this present team would flounder in NL.
3. York City probably consoled themselves with your type of thinking when they went down. Remind us where they are?2 users thanked author for this post.
Just moving back on topic, surely this is more about why away fans seem to be able to get onto the pitch with impunity, while home fans are penned by seemingly dozens of stewards…yet both sets of fans are subject to the same law?
And further, why does the excact opposite seem to be enforced away from home?4 users thanked author for this post.
I blame Mr R A C Symes, for setting up the club in 1899.
We could all have been supporting various other clubs instead!
And probably will be in a couple of years.
We should hold a poll:
Who will you support once the Iron cease to exist?
Grimsby Town
Lincoln City
Doncaster Rovers
Hull City
Barton
Brigg Town
Winterton Rangers
Bottesford Town
Someone else.
No team, I’ve had it with football supporting.1 user thanked author for this post.
Lol, aye, I bet UKIP would have been more supportive 🤣
WTF has UKIP got to do with owt?
Have they ever held power here or in Scunthorpe?
Honestly, mate, your strawman arguments get worse1 user thanked author for this post.
Sunthorpe/North Lincs have never shown any support or interest in the club.
That’s why we are situated outside the town boundary, and the ground is known as Glanford Park after Glanford, the original parliamentary seat. (I refuse to use the stupid Swann name).
That was the Liebour-led council, mind. Maybe the Tories would offer more support, but I’d not hold my breath.2 users thanked author for this post.
Some years ago I put this very question to David Beeby.
I got fobbed off, of course, but the main point he made was that if someone was arrested, that tied up resources for dealing with others.Doesn’t seem to affect other clubs when we play away, where I’ve witnessed some of the most hostile stewarding.
But Beeby and that grinning ex-copper who was then head of security, were adamant.

Whilst I agree with BI66 in principal, let’s not give the fat man another excuse.

But according to the latest podcast the club has done “the best it can given the circumstances”.
Yet I got a b*llocking for calling that bs.
Some folk are too easily either led, or satisfied.
Name of the game for this club under Swann.
