Don’t forget “I will give the ground back”

You’ve decided that’s important now have you?

If Hilton thinks that everything posted on Bru is down to Matt alone then he needs to reconsider. There are many diverse views on here they couldn’t possibly be the work of one (or even a dozen) people. There are accusations of negativity on Bru, there is some that’s true, but most are, to my mind, scepticism and who can be surprised at that given the happenings under the previous owner. The real ante Hilton faction is very limited IMO, no more than there would be whoever the owner was, that’s football clubs I’m afraid. I doubt there’s a club anywhere above local league where the owner has 100% support and is above criticism.

Strange how some on FB want to pick non existant holes in Bru posts and now the Trust statement, reporting that ” Both parties say that they want the best for SUFC and its fans” is seen as supporting Swann over Hilton, a bizarre conclusion to say the least. The earlier statement ” Over the years we have at times been very critical of Mr Swann: running up club debt, stopping fans and the Trust from buying shares in SUFC, ignoring fan groups, removing club assets to Coolsilk etc.” would seem to me to make their position very clear.
For added clarity I am not the author of this statement.
Where can I find Hiltons “retaliation” please?1 user thanked author for this post.
Don’t agree, different games have different objectives. Almost certainly players were looking after themselves yesterday, get fitter, get back to match football with new colleagues and don’t get injured (for example )would be far more important than the result.

A good few on here won’t have a clue what you’re on about. Lucky for you there’s a few old farts like me around to appreciate your (attempt at) humour.

And another?

If Hilton is using the unregistered land as an “excuse” not to complete the sale then surely Swann registering the land will allow the sale to complete or call his bluff.
This assumes, of course, that Swann still wants to sell and Hilton has the funds to buy. If the info above is true regarding the simplicity of registering the land then things could be sorted next week, or am I dreaming?1 user thanked author for this post.
“I can assure everyone that once all this has been completed, the ground and training facilities will be back in Scunthorpe United Ownership.” PS
“I’m pleased to say the takeover has now been completed, and the deal includes the football club, stadium and surrounding land.” DH1 user thanked author for this post.
Just to make my position clear, I am a fan, a poster and have never had any contact whatsoever with Mr Swann and am delighted that the club I have supported for many years is still in existance thanks to Mr Hilton. I find it hard to believe that there are any Iron fans with a desire to liase with Mr Swann given the result of his tenure.
On Bru there may have been some negativity (I would call much of it scepticism but what’s in a name?) There have also been many posts in support and requesting support for the new chairman and comparing the number of negative versus positive posters rather than negative versus positive posts might give a different picture.3 users thanked author for this post.
