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?

[Apollo11]

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.

[Apollo11]

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.

Is a laughing stick a Ken Dodd thing?

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.

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.

[Apollo11]

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.

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.

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.

As if they dont employ enough down there already lol.

Though i dont believe they’ve filled the Hospitality and event manager they were advertising for back in January.
More the merrier.

They certainly need to sort elements of the hospitality. It’s been a decent enough experience on the occasions I’ve had the good fortune to go – but the food was almost CSE Home Economics level.

[Apollo11]

When he was doing videos I did message him about the effect they were having in creating an upsurge in abuse, doxxing etc when people like him sent out toxic messages about fans who didn’t like Hilton, his reply was unrepentant. He said he’s not responsible for how people react to his videos. He’s right but it’s left me thinking he gets what he deserves now. Reaping what you sow.

Valid.

[Apollo11]

It’s more or less the same thinking for catering points etc, I’d say. Contracting things out and charging a fee removes certain costs from your equation and you can actually end up with more profit than you otherwise might.

Enough said!

If the Club was the organiser of this event (or others), the wage bill associated with spending time on admin and so on (plus the production expenses) could negate any profit. Let the outside organisation do the work, let the Club get what they can without blowing too much in the way of resources.
