One of the things that pissed me off the most was that he kept highlighting the fact we don’t have enough supporters to be competitive in league one and might even struggle in league two on sub 3k gates.
We have not averaged under 3k since 1997- since then we have only averaged under 3,500 only once. This is not the norm Peter you delusional moron. You have alienated nearly 1,000 supporters through rapid budget slashing, a complete lack of competence, and abysmal PR.
Crowds between 3.5k- 4K should be able to sustainably support a club in the 4th division long term- which it has done for the best part of 72 years.

Just can’t believe it until it happens.
Was a complete disaster of an interview by Swann earlier- I don’t know what to believe anymore. There were So many contradictions and riddles.

Would love for him to take some accountability and own the shit show he has orchestrated.
However, we know the make up of the man now so don’t expect nothing else but riddles, excuses and deflection.

The Scunthorpe fans Facebook page has stated a potential takeover has been quashed due to Swann wanting to keep hold of shares so that Coolsilk still have access to the land.
No idea how true it is.

Like myself, most will be waiting on a Potential sale.
If the rumours are true and he sells a majority stake, then I reckon we will shift another 500 before the start of the season. Possibly more if the ‘feel good’ factor continues with a couple of Butterfield Esque signings.

All look very nice. Will be buying the home shirt.
Good to see Simon Elliot involved with the sponsorship too.

Don’t understand why we are not utilising the loan market. We should have been knocking on the door of the Yorkshire clubs back in may trying to get players through the door.
I remember reading an article a while ago about Lincoln’s staff attending larger clubs with a slick PowerPoint presentation detailing how the could develop future talent in a bid to get clubs to loan them higher quality players.
Good to see another player finally through the doors. Looks the pick of the bunch out of the trialists so hopefully we can get a good run of games out him.
Desperately need to some more bodies in during the next week though. A goalkeeper especially.

Writing is on the wall for relegation already.
We must have a set budget that still has room for signings. If we do, then why aren’t we doing business earlier ? Realistically we’ve been down since April so why wasn’t we getting a squad ready then.
Not buying Keith’s bullshit excuses on Humberside either, clubs paying less than us are getting signings through the door.

Garbage fixture list.
Thought they usually kept the closest games on a Saturday to allow clubs to maximise revenue. The difference between Halifax on a Tuesday rather a Saturday could be potentially 1,000 fans.
Most northern games on a Tuesday night is ridiculous and takes away what little joy we might have this year.

Grimsby are riding the Lady Luck train to promotion! If it wasn’t for a stupid push on one of there players by a notts county player with 20 seconds to go in the game on Monday they would be sat at home in fishyville by now.
Sorry but there’s nothing lucky about it. They’ve played some good stuff and deserved to go through both ties.
We are in serious trouble if that’s the standard we are up against

If the nucleus of our team next year are these youngsters then we are going down again.
Simple as that.

Personally I think this has been his ‘coming out’ year as a goalkeeper and he’s improved all areas of his game.
Deserves another crack at league football but I’d be surprised if he ended up in league one

Would an FA fine for a pitch invasion have been higher than the police bill we’ll get for having seemingly more police in attendance than fans on Saturday?
I’ve never seen anything like it.
A complete over reaction by the club and the police which seemed to antagonise supporters more than deter them.There were lads at the front who were after causing trouble and getting on the pitch- no denying that- however, what happened to some good old communication and the stewards at least trying to clear the front of the stand before deploying pepper spray.
Disgusting scenes which put the icing on the cake of a truly miserable experience this season.

To be fair to Nuttall I have never heard so much abuse given to one of our players like that before so can understand his reaction, but whether that was before the finger or after I have no idea.
Give over Mick. The abuse was all given after he gave the finger because there were a few groans in the crowd when messed up ANOTHER chance.
I was glad the crowd made their feelings known and forced him off the pitch
He came on the pitch afterwards and was responding with fans to meet in the car park. Complete lack of professionalism- show him the door.

Another Monday gone and still no announcement about any interested parties taking over !
I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
I honestly cannot see past administration within in the next year as no-one is going to meet the valuation of the club.
The only scenario I can imagine where we stand a chance is if Swann transfers the assets back in the near future, and we all know what the chances of that are.

Can’t remember the game…
Steve torpey in front on the DRE, cross comes in, open goal from about 3 yards out and somehow managed to head it into the ground and Miss. Might have even gone over the bar.

Sorry Les- I can’t share your optimism.
It’s unfair to place the blame on the young uns stepping in- and by rights they should be playing at their own level- but apart from a few nice passages of play on Saturday they have been wholly inadequate; along with the rest of the team.
Moore-billam did well on Saturday but we are scraping the barrel to find any positives from this season. No-one looks like they could change a game.
We’ve sent a conveyor belt of young uns to Frickley, Scarborough, Guisley etc over the years and no-one seems to have been a stand out performer (happy to be corrected)
If we set up with these lads as the nucleus of our team next year I’m pretty confident we will be there or there abouts in the relegation spots.
