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.

I was particularly impressed Moore-billam, look composed on the ball and always picked out a claret top with pass. Gallimore impressed more than I’ve seen in recent performances too.
It was a performance with at least some fight and character- refreshing to see a well worked goal too. But In reality, Stevenage were a poor side whom still should’ve stuck 4 past us.
Don’t mind seeing 1 or 2 of these young uns playing next year, but if that is going to be the nucleus of the side than we are going to be bang in trouble again.

All I want is a statement from the owner stating two words “ I’m sorry”
We can then hopefully go our separate ways in the near future and never cross paths again.

I wouldn’t trust Hill to rebuild this club.
Slowly coming round to this line of thought. Was his biggest advocate before he came in, and I know there are massive extenuating circumstances but the performances are getting worse every week.
Unfortunately he’s part of the rot now.

The useless bastard needs to sell up and never go near a football club again.
What he’s put together at this club over the course of his time here is nothing short of a disgrace.
He promised we would no go down this year at the fans forum despite supporters concerns that the squad was clearly not good enough: LIAR.

Never get tired of videos like that.
Saw one recently of the Yeovil game in 2007. The terrace has never been more packed; certainly not enough room to throw a tennis ball.
Sharp/Keogh always get the plaudits but it’s Amazing how we got so much out of an average player like Morris, Goodwin, Baraclough and the legend himself cliffy

Strange how despite the club basically being on life support and the stands almost completely empty- you get so worked up about some mild protest and offer no criticism whatsoever to the owner.
You’re either a Swann or a troll uptheiron; I’d expect a millionaire’s son to have better things to do with their time, so I’m going for the latter.

Thought the tennis balls were a good idea, pitch invasion was too far as the point was already made.

The potential new owners may be more concerned with the fact that the stand opposite them will be be almost completely empty come kick off time and wondering wtf has occurred with the incumbent regime to make that happen.

Good to see little things like this being organised now. The club has been ran into the ground with barely a whimper.
Got my banner ordered and ready. Can seeing it lasting 2 minutes once the stewards start firing a taser at me.

watched the Ironarmy video from last nights game at Gainsborough and at the end he showed a leaflet which states a protest is planned for the Mansfield game at the Honest Lawyer “anytime after 12 and walking down to the ground for 2pm”
Anyone know anything about this and who’s behind it?

Lots of words with nothing said.
Pleased he’s staying away from the operational side as he’s a complete disaster at running a football club.
Lee will at least give us a fighting chance next year but I expect it’s going to be a long road ahead before it gets better.

What are the objectives / outcomes hoped for of protesting?
The Chairman (and majority shareholder) will remain so until he sells the club.
If the club isn’t self funding and he chooses to not ‘bail it out’ of accrued debts, then it will eventually go in to administration.
Voluntary liquidation is another potential ‘outcome’.
The following clubs were liquidated:
Bury FC.
Rushden & Diamonds FC.
Chester City FC.
Macclesfield Town FC.
Aldershot FC.

From the article below:
“ These rights also only apply to public spaces. Therefore, anyone protesting on private property without the permission of the occupier are likely to be viewed as a trespasser.”
https://nationallegalservice.co.uk/uk-protest-rights/
If you commit aggravated trespass then you can be arrested:
“Aggravated trespass is a criminal offence, so you can be arrested for it. You must be doing two things to commit aggravated trespass: Trespassing. Intentionally obstructing, disrupting, or intimidating others from carrying out ‘lawful activities’.”

The objectives/hopes are to highlight the demise of our club both on/off the field.
We are set to break countless records for the worst season in our 123 year history, coupled with the fact we’ve been on a death spiral for 4 years and about to enter non-league for the first time in 72 years.
You could argue that we are due a stint in national league due to the size of our club- and I’d intend to agree with you- however the manner in which we’ve fallen is disgraceful; the endless list of poor recruits, the fact we’ve got the Chairman’s son as chief scout, mustering 24 points at nearly the seasons end, the fact we barely register more than a shot a goal a game.
Off the field: the obvious one is the ground; I don’t give 2 shits if Swann has always technically “owned the ground”, the fact is now Scunthorpe United are tenants to Coolsilk. We were promised this was to make it easier for funding the flats/redevelopment: what’s happened there then? The last I heard he was potentially looking to sell up, so what’s the need for the ground ownership? History tells us that A club that doesn’t own it’s ground, is in trouble.
The off the field relations are disastrous; we seem to To fall out with the local newspaper, the council, supporters been threatened with legal action, Max Bell and the fiasco with his book, John staff having to flog his book in Debenhams’ car park, fans being called morons, endless promises of ground developments not coming to fruition, £11 million of debt being racked up, the drainage being a mess, the ground looking worse than ever. ( this list is not exhaustive)

Are we going to actually make this happen then because i would be up for it and we need to start acting now. Im not just on about a one off game either i think it needs to happen at every home game from now.
Let’s start at Mansfield then.
I’m happy to go along with the Walk out on the 72nd minute. It will take a good few hundred to make a noticeable difference as the ground is so sparsely populated these days so if people can spread the word on social media hopefully it gets some momentum.
Get a few banners out and make our voices heard for once.

Don’t blame the guy.
Tried fulfilling an impossible task.
Be interesting to see the full story when everything comes out in the wash
