I thought the expectation was he wouldn’t be here next year.

Been game over since the Carlisle result. Had to get the win there before those tough run of fixtures.
Anyone know the record low points total for the league ?

London away trip for The first time would’ve usually attracted 500+ down there- me included.
Absolutely no chance this sack of shite deserve such support.
Still genuinely think we will do well to reach 30 points .

The club didn’t have any vision back then.
We were pissing away money which we could never sustainably afford, eventually it got us £11million debt and cost us our ground and land.

For the first time this season I’ll be missing a home game voluntarily.
Something about that Rochdale second half finally broke my spirit.
Expect Northampton to bring 400+ so it should keep the crowd about 2000

Who cares? The players and officials who don’t need the aggravation and chance of being assaulted?!
I must have missed these assaults in all the reports I’ve read from Saturday.
Players have been hit by stuff chucked from people in the stands – are we to ban people from stands now?
Look, I’ve no problem with people being kicked out for being idiots, that’s obvious. I just don’t understand why we have become some puritanical about people coming on the pitch. When you watch replays of that Ronnie Radford goal at Hereford, do you clutch your pearls and worry about the Newcastle players?
All about context.
Wasn’t a particularly important game for Rochdale and there’s a few lads just strolling around taunting our players.

There’s a middle ground where I believe people can still support the club and yet still be in opposition to the hierarchy.
I would like to believe that but I’m not sure how you can show your dissatisfaction with the ownership whilst still turning up to games and handing over your hard-earned? Because money is what really counts.
I must admit, it’s very strange to see how apathetic supporters are at home games – virtually no protests, just a resigned acceptance.
Scunthorpe fans often do themselves a disservice with the lack of organisation; even the very mild ‘protest’ at the forest green game when the gates were locked drew enough media attention to force Swann into holding face-face meetings with shareholders/ season ticket holders.

I don’t know why some supporters think that we will be ok if we drop into non-league football. We definitely WON’T with the SWANN family still owning our Club. There would have to be some massive changes. = New owners, bigger playing budget. Even with changes its is very, very difficult to re-gain league status and I would imagine our Club would be folded. With SWANNS track record surely everyone must realize now that him and his family have no interest whatsoever in Scunthorpe United existing as football club.
I don’t think it’s the fact that everyone is thinking it’s ok, probably closer to the fact that we need some optimism to keep us attending games, or else what’s the point ?
Southend are in a worse position than us, both on and off the field and seem to have galvanised themselves recently. Oldham have fallen from greater heights than ourselves and have an owner who really doesn’t give a f**k, yet their away support the other week was fantastic.
Every opinion from a Scunthorpe I’ve spoken too/read on here and elsewhere all know we are in non-league for the long haul, and the national league may not be the point we bottom out; but at some point you’ve got to accept the situation and support the club in whatever way you can.

Some good local(ish) games in Stockport, Grimsby, Chesterfield, Notts County, Halifax. Few more London Games and some teams we will never have seen.
Losing our league status is no longer a pressing concern, it will be nice to not go 15 games without a win and see some
More goals/entertainment; whether that’s against Tranmere or Maidenhead makes no difference.1 user thanked author for this post.
We were actually putting together some good attacks- the most fluid we’ve looked in some time- until that act of sheer stupidity from Matheson changed the dynamic completely.

Always do things the hard way,
but nevertheless, victory never tasted sweeter. Everyone left it out there tonight and showed some resilience and character that’s long been missing.Great to see the scenes at full time too; 2,100 in the ground and it felt double that at times during the 2nd half. Well done Scunny fans on getting behind them tonight.
Although, Someone needs to hold a whip round and get an upgrade on the drum.

I don’t think I’ve seen so many fans sing in unison before in our away end for many a year. Far louder than the likes of Grimsby, Bradford, Sunderland whom Have filled it in recent times.
Credit to their club given the situation.

In a way it’s a relief that it’s over so early, spares us the heartache of having any kind of hope.
So, so poor today. As bad as we’ve ever been. Didn’t deserve nothing from the game and that’s saying something because Oldham were absolute tosh aswell- they’ll be coming down with us.
Didn’t expect much when Keith took over, but he’s somehow not met already low expectations, Performances and results are unbelievably shite.
On a side note, thought Oldham were the best set of supporters to visit GP for years. Incredible support given their position

I don’t think anybody is realistically expecting these players to come and help us perform the great escape; deep down, we all know the writing is on the wall.
However, maybe the optimism is there because we are hoping we actually might be competitive in games, perhaps create more than 2 chances every home game, score a few more goals and provide something resembling entertainment.

An almost perfect summary of our current plight.
The only sentence I’m inclined to disagree with, is the end one. Ours appears to be a story of mismanagement and incompetence rather anything more sinister- although the Jury is still out.

Certainly the biggest improver under Hill and has been one of the few to show glimpses of quality.
Not overly disappointed he’s gone, but expected a few more to be shown the door first.

The fat lady is warming up her vocal chords; even with a few more late additions the task is becoming insurmountable.
I understand it’s difficult to bring players in at the beginning of the month, but we really should have done our business earlier and given the squad a fighting chance.
Defeat next week and that’s us done.

The fact our experience is being contested by National League North teams sums it up

Never a Captain and one of the worst performers this year which is a feat in itself.

Feeney signed.
The calibre of player we need to be signing, so a welcome addition to such a lightweight midfield.

We look closer to a 6-0 hiding then we do a victory. Thankfully Bristol fluffed a couple of chances because the self destruct button was ready to be pressed.
They say it’s the hope that kills you, at least this lot are sparing us that.
