Awaywego—same as stated mate, it is too late to consider takingon board what supporters actually think and wish to suggest. Us long term supporters of the club have lost our stadium, car park and training pitch land, we have also lost our better players and are now left with a very poor squad for the coming season. We have also lost any idea’s regarding watching entertaining football, and money has dried up, so any new recruits will be what can be obtained on low wages and no longer wanted by their present clubs.
So after asswssing this, the club must have come up with this fans meeting thing after seeing the pathetic to date sale of season tickets, after the continual plugging every day on the club site, this is not what fans need telling dailey, they want to read of a few new players coming in to replace the 18 ditched during the summer, like a good centre forward, a clever winger and a goal keeper, not even more defenders, although after saying that, we don’t attack, so it may be right to bring ib nore defenders!!! No it is far too late for this suggested system.

Sharp-shooter, After speaking to four of the fans that have sat more or less in a small area near me, all of whome have given up on the club and the way it has been operated during the past three seasons, I am led to believe that ever present supporter Sanfran has also had enough, so it will probably be between 250 and 300, instead of the normal this stage of the year when 1,200 to 1,400 have been sold.
My son that lives in Derby has been talking to the pair of Scunny fans that also live in Derby, and those have not missed an home or away match in over 12 years, they have also had more than their share of the way Scunthorpe play these days and will like myself turn up to see just an odd match, I have supported Scunny for 70 years, a season ticket holder for the past 12 years, missing just one home game during that time (when I had left my ticket at home after sitting on the car park for an hour), so if fans like ourselves have finished, I would suspect many, many more will not be in their normal seats.
What really finished me was when Mr Swann informed supporters out of the blue, “that his company have taken ownership of the football ground, car park and training field land”, along with the system that Cox plays, defensive unenjoyable boring rubbish, and the off loading of the decent players and keeping what is left, playing under Coxes tactics, what a thought.
But Mr Swann did tell Radio Humberside that we have a good squad of young players, and it will be interesting seeing how Cox developes them over the next three seasons!!, I am sorry Peter, but at the age of 80, three years sitting in the Cluggy does not appeal to me, even though he said that he wants fans to stick with the team, and keep turning up!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do people that have and express their own views on their opinions accept the views of people that do not comply with them??. I do not agree that all this calling players bad names exists, and have never heard it happening at any football match. This knee thing in my opionion is wrong, and to continie doing it is also wrong, can anyone please tell me what has to change that will end it, and how can anyone decide that it has changed, simply because we have never heard it in the first place, how can it be prooved it has changed????. Is it right for people to not agree with the knee?, is it right for people to not agree with those people that think it is ok for endless boat loads of refugees to invade our country???, and to the point why are either to be classed as being racists.
I am personally against both of these, so in the opionions of lefties, I am a racist, if that is ok, then so be it, I will not be losing any sleep on what those kind of people think.

I shouldn’t complain as we need signings but centre back is the only area of the pitch where we have decent players. Its forward looking players we need more than anything.
Why are you wanting forwaRDS Random when the team tactics are set up to defend at all times????

Would have been nice for you to tell him to his face that you won’t be attending after 70 years of supporting the iron rather than informing us at every given opportunity.
Cliff, I would have looked a right twat going up to him at a Speedway Meeting and telling him that I would not be going to see his football team next season don’t you agree, some of us can control what we say, and I am certainly not the only supporter to say a few times that I have finished going to GP till things change, so a bit bloody stupid for you to come out with that childish statement.

Actually Awaywego, I didn’t know it was him until it was pointed out to me by the Scunthorpe Supporters Club Chairman who I was talking to, but he will already be aware that many of us long term supporters have had their fill of the things that have gone on at GP during the past 4 years. I cannot see why you are shocked by the fact that many of us will no longer be turning out to watch such shite, and with the remaining players things can only get worse, I did manage to tell Neil that Awaywego and Uptheiron69 will be still sitting in the directors seating, he told me that the two named where actually the same person. Please do not come back and tell us that we are not true fans if we turn our backs on the club, I assume 70 years of attending is enough to back up what I say. As I have stated many times mate, I shall possibly still go to an odd match, but that will only happen if they change this defensive boring shite, but that is not very likely is it.
Anyway Awaywego, I wish you all the joy at the games, and hope you see Scunny score a few goals.1 user thanked author for this post.
No doubt the chairman will then say that is is the fans who are running down the club not him!
Northumbiron—The fans no longer have a club pal, the ground, car park and training pitch have been taken from us, along with any decent players we have had, all we are left with are a small bunch of sub-standard players and another prospect of a relegation fight to stay as a Football League team, but the 2021/2 may end up being the clubs last.
I have met many Scunny supporters, mostly long term season ticket holders for countless years, most of which have had as much as they can take of the GP happenings over the past four seasons, all the carrots that have been dangled, but it has taken me, and possibly most of them six years of 100% backing of what Mr Swann has been telling us, to realise that it has all been bullshit, and no Championship football, no New Stadiums, no refurbished stadium, no appartments, no decent players left at the club, and the latest being informed by the Chairman that he is now the owner of all our land and stadium. So we no longer have any reason to continue trecking down to GP on our Saturdays and Tuesday nights to watch Mr Swanns Scunthorpe United play their boring defensive rubbish, in other words, we have lost our club, and Mr Swann has lost us suppoerters, and it is pointless Awaywego coming on here and saying we will be there, because there will be a few members of a certain family that will sit up and be thinking why are fans no longer turning up????????

Neil Cox was at the Scorpions v Eastbourne Championship Speedway meeting tonight, either looking at signing a couple of our riders to put a bit of enthusiasme and fight into the Iron team, or was he just wanting to watch some entertaining all action sport after the miserable season played out by his inapt shower of so called footballers.

Yes Deerey, it turned out being an enjoyable two hours and lots of good riding, but we will not be racing against many two men teams this season. Funny thing though, there was a group of us consisting of two of my sons, the two good friends that have sat in front of me at GP for many yess, and three others that stand with us at Speedway, we had a good crack between us, but it turned very cold towards the end of the meeting. Sadly but understandably, all have lost any interest in attending any Iron games next season, they are like myself and cannot see any atraction any more. Thanks for your kind comments Deerey, certainly a nice gesture from you, and I am getting bye probably because of my close family of 3 sons and my daughter and all of the grand kids etc, take care yourself mate and as stated before, I shall still attend a few matches, but will certainly not comit myself for my usual season ticket, but it will be nice to see a few of the nearbye friends if any of them still go!!!!!

Is this why UTI99 is quiet? Dad’s told him to pull his finger out?
he might even be Dad?
No Mike, Awaywego99 is dad, UTI99 is the son for certain, and every post by any one of them is always given a THANKS from the other, just like clockwork, if I am wrong, “they could both be the same person”.

Whilst I am on the subject of club loyalty, mine is again being tested in two hours time when our first Speedway meeting of the season takes place against Plymouth, the team appears to have been assembled on the cheap, and are budding wooden spoonists, again after only missing one meetring in the past twelve years, if we cannot compete with the other teams, and we continue like the football club, it will also be a stay away event, money and time is paid out in return for entertainment.

Don’t let all that beat you down in to not going regularly next year BS.
Deereyme66——-The reason there will be no purchase of a season ticket ever again pal is because our football club is now being run by a squad of people that have forgot why supporters turn out on a Saturday by driving from their homes, sitting in the car park for 45 mins, then spending 90 mins in the Cluggy Stand (with me its often 75 or 80 mins ha ha). I do not know what the management views are on why we do this, but for years it was “because we wanted to be entertained, and watch our team playing to win matches”, all that has now vanished from the GP present day set up, and the entertainment and enjoyment has been eliminated from the way that the club now sets itself up as, one player up front, one shot on target in most games, eight of our last ten games has seen us score ZERO goals, yes eight of our last ten matches without scoring even ONE GOAL, thats twelve bloody hours without scoring!!!!
SUMMARY.
IT IS NOT ABOUT LOYALTY, I THINK MY LOYALTY HAS BEEN TESTED OVER THE PAST 70 YEARS, IT IS SO SIMPLE, WHEN ENJOYMENT IS NO LONGER ON OFFER YOU JUST DON’T BOTHER YOUR ARSE IN TURNING OUT, WHAT’S THE POINT?????2 users thanked author for this post.
I always liked Tom Hopper, and Wootton, both are far better players than the present Green, Hippolyte, Loft and although we have not seen Swanns star striker Turan, simply because he is even worse than those I have just named. There are so many of our ex players that become star players with other teams, but we manage to sign so many useless players that can never ever become league two players. That is why we never score goals, and most matches have two shots maximum on target. Sadly our football club is now not worth following any more, Lincoln who are at Wembley next week playing to gain promotion into the Champiuonship (by the way, they were non-league four years ago) when we were playing at the top of league one, now they have taken our place, and we will next season take the non-league position they were in four years ago, this just shows what clueless clowns are now running our once popular little family enyertaining club, these people should hang their heads in shame. From a keen supporter of 70 years since 1951, and long time season ticket holder until the coming season. I ewill possibly select a game or two, but will not tie myself with any more season tickets, those days are truely over for me.
