    Read my post again and maybe you’ll get the point I’m making. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Instead of telling others to read your posts again, why not read theirs and respond to their questions?

    It really isn’t all about you, you know.

    Just relistened.
    “Did the best it could under the circumstances”.
    Twice.

    Except Swann didn’t.

    Twice in the first ten minutes, I heard the phrase, “the club has done all it can”, or words to that effect.
    I rest my case.

    Yes all is rosy at Gainsborough Trinity, 17th in the Northern Premier League is some achievement. That’ll really show the Swanns.

    Swann was shown to be a mouthy pratt there, and a braggart here.
    not much difference.
    He never took their ground though.

    The end of season statement from Swann will go along the lines of:

    “We got relegated and it was the fault of the supporters, the council, and COVID.”

    Got it in one.

    Feeney might be a better player in the long run, maybe Sinclair will, but getting rid of one player who was playing well and replacing him with a couple of players who have yet to contribute anything seems a strange decision when you need points urgently

    Not as far as Swanny is concerned if it saves £££

    Bet they are on less money though?

    I can’t imagine Hippolyte was a particularly big earner when you look at where he came from, when he was signed and then compare him to the players who have come in.

    But who signed him? We have no idea what lunatic deals were struck, but have only to look at giving sicknote Hallam a TWO YEAR deal to have some inkling.

    Our supporters are as milksop as the directors.
    Swann has done just enough to ensure we slide into non league obscurity with not even a whimper of protest. But not enough to have made any difference. But just in case, he’s hiding anyway.

    What a pathetic coward.
    And most supporters are as bad.

    Want to bet if you polled supporters at the ground they’d be parroting phrases like, “He tried” and “coooooovid”.

    Utterly pathetic.
    We deserve what we are going to get.

    I don’t know why some supporters think that we will be ok if we drop into non-league football. We definitely WON’T with the SWANN family still owning our Club. There would have to be some massive changes. = New owners, bigger playing budget. Even with changes its is very, very difficult to re-gain league status and I would imagine our Club would be folded. With SWANNS track record surely everyone must realize now that him and his family have no interest whatsoever in Scunthorpe United existing as football club.

    I don’t think it’s the fact that everyone is thinking it’s ok, probably closer to the fact that we need some optimism to keep us attending games, or else what’s the point ?

    Southend are in a worse position than us, both on and off the field and seem to have galvanised themselves recently. Oldham have fallen from greater heights than ourselves and have an owner who really doesn’t give a f**k, yet their away support the other week was fantastic.

    Every opinion from a Scunthorpe I’ve spoken too/read on here and elsewhere all know we are in non-league for the long haul, and the national league may not be the point we bottom out; but at some point you’ve got to accept the situation and support the club in whatever way you can.

    1. There is no point trying to support an organisation whose owner no longer cares.

    2. We don’t HAVE to accept the situation, we can walk. I’ll always want my club to do well, but like a kicked dog, eventually I’ll bite.

    I hope they do…from what I’ve seen of some of their attacking play this season, ( on you tube), they’ll do for us next year.

    As I’ve stated before, I do respect the optimism of some, but a few on here seem to be thinking we’ll drop into non league and then easily hold our own.

    Two points:

    Ask York how easy it is/was.
    Not on this budget, we won’t.

    ‘On this result I reckon we registered our last ever league win on Tuesday night.’

    Think we’ll get at least a few wins at home and the odd point but obviously nowhere near enough. Just can’t see another 7-8 wins

    Hope you’re right, but can’t see it.

    There you are NLI they don’t own the ground and pay handsomely to play in it,and we are playing rent free at the moment until we make profit.

    Did you not notice he said they were paying the ex-chairman?
    Theirs must have done same as ours.
    And make no mistake, when Swann goes…and he will… we’ll be paying for our sh1thole.

    Happily, I hope to see the new owners pressure the landlord into either a low rent to reflect the facilities and their condition, or into doing much-needed renovations.
    Either way, we dont pay that amount for what WE have. Walsall’s ground is better than ours. If they still have the Saddlers Club, way better.
    Ground share coming up until Swann comes to his senses.
    Now…how do I get to Brigg…?

    What has happened to the new lad that scored twice on his debut? Burns?
    Injured?
    As he didn’t even make the bench.

    And yes, I don’t interact with the ows.

    Wait until you’re watching us away at Gateshead next season.

    Then you’ll know what a shite stadium looks like!

    Worse than the Shay, circa 1968?

    I did post once or twice what our final points tally could mathematically be, but as it fell away it got too depressing.

    One round earlier in the cup, I think. But you can have a drink in the ground & away trips should be a bit cheaper.

    So on recent cup showing, we’ll be out even before we’re in?

    Ferrite: maybe the players we actually signed were not the intended players, just what was left when everyone else had their pick…as usual for us.

    Yeah like Evans not guilty until he’s been to court so we can’t talk online about it.Evas was not discussed until he’d been found guilty But being a nasty Kipper you have darker reasons to hint at dont you?

    If you bother to look back, you’ll find I said “innocent until proven guilty” then.

    But don’t let that get in the way of your socialist lies.
