    I wonder how many Iron players n who Hilton has been tapping up teasing with a cash lump to sign

    I’ve already stated, it’s 2 of our players, offering a substantial signing on fee.
    Neither of them are taking up his kind offer!

    Yes i know that ……. i also asked who the players are/were ?? unless its a secret

    Gareth and Marco from Iron Hour.

    Waiting to see if they have devised a way for the trust to raise funds on a monthly basis that will yield a seat on the board.

    I would certainly pay a monthly subscription to be a member of the Iron Trust, on the proviso that a large proportion of additional funds was used to buy shares, and that a seat on the board was forthcoming in recognition of the nature of the organisation, perhaps once a set shareholding had been reached. That’s how the Club can actually and properly demonstrate its seriousness about deep and meaningful supporter engagement – not this fluffy fan role they’ve recently touted.

    The current situation at Matlock Town FC, with members being forced in to a decision to either continue with David Hilton’s involvement and give him full ownership, or continuing to be fan led, highlights the importance of increasing Iron Trust membership and having more opportunity to control our own fate in the future. If you haven’t done so already, please join today

    The Iron Trust is an important organisation around our Club – but it could and should be so much more significant.

    question
    Do loan players return to their parent club after the final game of the regular season or can they play in the play offs thinking of Fadera

    After his last two performances I’d hope he’s already on his way back to his parent club.

    It’s no coincidence that he’s actually started both of those games.

    WHAM time away from football didnt last long did it ??

    Isn’t this now his fourth attempt at seizing control of a Club (including Ilkeston)? You have to ask yourself: What exactly is it that he wants?

    He’s already sent one of his opo’s out on here trying to paint a pretty picture of him.

    A fool’s errand.

    I don’t doubt there’s plenty of lobbying going on. Do hope it’s not crossing over in to intimidation.

    I’m awaiting the abuse-burners firing up to respond to any questions he doesn’t like.

    He’s not even a MTFC official and he’s already had meetings with the cricket club? Wow.

    The 200K he’s put in as a donation… is that our season ticket money, then?

    We finish 3rd so guaranteed a home semi final… which we win

    Brackley loose in their semi final to whoever it is

    At that point Scunny being the highest place in the league would have a home final which we could win who ever it is

    Plausible.

    That just isn’t going to happen

    All three of those results are highly improbable, but not impossible.

    We did have a proper striker 64 but unfortunately he was out injured for a lot of the season.
    And the replacements Michelle and Butler brought in were and are pretty shite.

    Sharp and Aitkenhead are the ‘football directors’, so your attempted slight of Michelle doesn’t hold water.

    Do you mean because I say the truth and speak sense?….. and because I am successful in my football life and have no one chasing me for a penny, or maybe because I have been voted the best catering facility in our league, being mentioned on the media several times in the north east and Derbyshire?… unlike your tin pot, mickey mouse, happy shopper, fifty pence outfit, that has been a laughing stick with the smoking goat saga… so please a bit of respect.

    Is a laughing stick a Ken Dodd thing?

    I don’t think he was happy about it!

    If Jerry did punch a guy three times in the back yesterday then the guy should have turned round and broke Jerry’s nose, you never know it might have made him easier to understand when he’s verbalising.

    Unnecessary, that.

    And exactly how could he not have started him, all he had to do was put his name on the team sheet.
    In a game where we had to be positive, you said we were a little bit negative says it all.

    His name was on the teamsheet.

    Despite his vociferous critics, Beck would have been a really useful addition yesterday. I’d go as far to say, we may have won it.

    I agree with this. He has the physical presence we lacked yesterday. KL were shithouses, some dirty stuff going on, and I think Beck might have soaked some of that up. However, he was injured and there’s no way Butler could start Whitehall – so we were in a little bit of a negative from kick-off.

    Despite his vociferous critics, Beck would have been a really useful addition yesterday. I’d go as far to say, we may have won it. Could have held up the ball and provided valuable flick ons and be an imposing threat from those corners. He’d have sucked two defenders in to free up the likes of Mo and Roberts to make runs.

    I agree… The chances were actually there to win it, despite the well below par performance, the clown show at the back and the total inadequacy across midfield.

    Highlights of yesterday now up on KLT YouTube. It reveals that Scunthorpe had plenty of clear chances to score – Beestin, Roberts, Evans, Federa etc – and in a couple of them you might even be tempted to say we were unlucky. As I thought yesterday at full-time, this league is generally shit, it’s down to who can tough it out and who is most clinical and composed in front of goal. Its not us.

    It was Evans.

    Yes, I believe Evans was involved in something going on too. But I was talking about the absolute dog’s abuse given at length, and aggressively, to Whitehall. He kept his cool extremely well.

    Apparent today, as has been for the vast majority of the season is that we are too lightweight in midfield. Scales in particular was absolutely woeful today and gave the ball away every time he received it.

    I haven’t seen Scales pass the ball properly for weeks, now.

    Honestly don’t you believe Stu deserves criticism over ticketgate

    I’d imagine he’ll be quite embarrassed when and if he reflects on it. If not, then that’s what might deserve the criticism.

    I don’t know either Jerry or Stuart personally but clearly they are massive Iron fans. Can we accept that, stop the unnecessary sniping and just concentrate on the football. Thank you. UTI.

    I think sometimes humour is missed. Sometimes a joke is made because there’s a joke that can be made. The humour is sometimes in the technique or mechanics, sometimes in the ridiculousness – and in those instances the subject matter of the joke is almost secondary to the making of the joke.

    But in general, I agree.
