Agreed keep the money rolling in whatever they want to call it, it will always be GP to the Iron faithful, couldn’t give a toss what the press call it long as the Dosh rolls in, remember, no Dosh no club, that’s how it works.

Always been such a shite name though, Glanford Park. Very 1980s.

And in x years time, someone else will hopefully pay even more money to say it’s it’s something else.

Agreed. I, personally, would always have preferred the ground to be known as The New Showground… but completely understand the financial sense in pimping out the name.

Not sure what you’re getting at here Rene ?
Surely the naming rights is a commercial sponsorship arrangement between the sponsor Attis Insurance and the club Scunthorpe United. Unless you know that arrangement specified that the club will change its postal address and all club documentation, and repaint the “Glanford Park opened 1988 etc “ sign over the tunnel then I don’t see any issue with it fundamentally being Glanford Park on a document you have to search for and read.

Think of it as ‘the Attis Arena at Glanford Park’… The stadium is the Attis Arena and the whole area that the stadium sits on (incl. training pitches, car park, approach road etc) is Glanford Park?

I get that you’re discussing something else – but I think it’s worth pointing out somewhere (in relation to 1.4 and 1.5) that there are some shocking seats in the family area. The ones on the family area side, right next to that area’s entrance tunnel. Due to the railing work at the top of the tunnel edge, the view of the away end is massively obstructed. If you happen to be a kid in the first couple of seats next to it then you stand little chance of seeing most of the game. Zero warning given in the club office at the time of sale of the tickets.

“ 1.4 Warnings will be given in advance when selling seats with a restricted view of the pitch at Glanford Park.

1.5 Scunthorpe United will make an area of Glanford Park available for the exclusive use of family groups and junior supporters.

Saw them live in their early days. Boring.

Having said that, the first two albums are good.

To judge Shrimpton on that is ridiculous, he was only on the pitch for 5 minutes and were his first minutes of the season.

I didn’t judge him, I said what happened last night.

I hope he settles down and goes on to do well.

Nice to see Shrimpton get a short run out near the end last night, he’s got onto the bench now and I’d like to see him given more games in the future, I’m sure Andy will give him a run in the side at the appropriate time.

First touch was poor, second touch appalling! Didn’t really notice him ‘do’ anything much after that.

Among all of the impressive aspects of Butler’s start to management is his use of the squad, not being afraid to change things up to cope with the schedule and keeping things fresh.

I don’t think it has always worked, or will, but 6 times out of 7 so far is not a bad return on the new style of using substitutions.

He does have an air of being completely self-satisfied. So to speak.

Only just found the time to listen to this latest Iron Bru podcast featuring Michelle, James and Lee.

I thought it was very interesting that Michelle made a point of saying there was no ill will on the club’s part towards former recent directors, and there shouldn’t be any on their part as they are supporters of the club.

Once again calling out or schooling a certain someone, imho.

Prediction for tonight: Difficult. Unknown quantity (to us). Pretty sure Butler and co. will have done their homework! NM 0 – SUFC 2

[Apollo11]

Plenty of authority for me, funny how the manager seems to think so too.

No, it’s not funny.

[Apollo11]

No it’s a question to you..

Why did he supposedly have one? What’s your reasonings?

I can’t answer why he seemed to have an attitude. You’d have to ask him why he had one.

But complaining about every decision that went against and not doing much work – worthwhile or otherwise – in the time up to his first goal… those things suggest he was mardy.

Edited to add: I should say, for clarity, I really like Whitehall. He can just be an arse sometimes, and it looked that way for a while on Saturday.

I suspect you wont you never do when challenged, your not alone though still waiting for Ferrite to name the other bidders when Hilton took over.
The only joke is you thinking he could lol.

I’d suggest, if she’d entertain the idea, going and talking to Michelle.

Why did Whitehall have an attitude?

How would I know why? That’s a question for Whitehall.

If you think Clunan is a nothing captain then your judgement is shocking!

Don’t be so ridiculous. He might do a lot of talking and a lot of pointing, but I’ve never seen any of the other players on the pitch acknowledge or respond. He lacks presence and authority.

[Apollo11]

Who cares?

The website must be absolutely the worst online user experience ever. It seems to have been designed purely to grind your gears.

Drop Clunan??

I counted one forward pass on Saturday. Everything else went back to the keeper, sideways or out of play.

Butler doesn’t see the introduction of subs as weakening the team (I suppose he has to say that really) But 5 subs gives a greater opportunity to take off somebody not influencing the game and replacing them with somebody that will. Fishburn, Brogan and Rowley have shown the ability to do that and it’s likely we can add Carlton to that list very soon. Good options off the bench for a change. (No offence to Evans & Kelly BTW but they have a different role to play)

I don’t understand why Evans isn’t in the side from the off. Perhaps he’s been carrying a knock or working his way back to full fitness or something?

[Apollo11]

im not getting all the hype about the actual performance it wasnt that great,first half except the goal was dire improvement second half way better more dominant

On the whole it was competent rather than inspiring. The second half was a big improvement over the first, once the substitutions had been made.

Whitehall’s goal was a belter but he seemed to have an attitude problem up to that point.

Clunan is a nothing captain, with little to no presence or authority. Is he good at doing the phone calls and collecting the subs for the snooker tournaments and golf days?
