In to the next round, great effort tonight lads.

Poor Crowd but asking £15 when Liverpool + Man Utd on the box was never going to work.

Question is.. Was our superfan at the match or watching his beloved Merseyside Reds?

Spalding actually managed to draw on Saturday

Well, will you?

You might get a response today Cass, it was Monday Club yesterday so no chance.

15 quid is a bit of a piss take for the replay, with a few premier league teams on the Box it’ll only be the hardcore down at GP Tuesday.

Any notes for a Matlock fan. Currently the club is owned by its fans (a season ticket give you a vote/share). The board has called a Emergency General Meeting for 2 Oct to tell us about new investor also tp chan̈ge the club to issues shares, so looks like the board want us to vote to pass the club to our mystery man !!

Welcome.

In short, he came to us after the previous owner(Swann) was looking to sell up after our fall from L1 to the National League. Previously involved at Ilkeston.

He’d tried to buy Bury, and their fans warned us having looked into his background, but he got people on side(A Facebook fan page with 7,000 members)and some of them abuse fans in the street and online.

If you want some examples of how he deals with Criticism.

I’ve read all the answers given to the questions and pretty pleased in all honesty. I’ll believe in Hilton until I have reason not to. For any of you who hasn’t ready the back and forth, go read it. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

We were, but not pleasantly.

I hope he stays but fear he will go, football is a family warts and all specially outside the top 2 divisions, I don’t and won’t have a problem with him staying more like one of us we all have our pasts, well at least some of us do and don’t deny them.

just chucking this in the mix , not wishing to start a shit fight but ..if DH walks away and no others come in isnt it pretty much certain the club will die…

Bearing in mind DH did step in to basically save the club , now the best squad n set up for years in a good place to move back up the football ladder …so he has done a little bit of bird ( i know many who have) mislead on occasions but id much rather have him at the helm then the club go under.

Listening to his interview sounded to me like a broken man who will walk and who can blame him.. and our club is fooked.

Im sure certain members will be along soon posting with glee .

Broken man? It was a sob story, looking for sympathy, do you think a leopard can change it’s spots?

Yes i have been skeptical of DH and it was a sob story agree ..but i dont really give a shit if its between Scunny having a football club or not.

so hes
convicted and served his time

bought a squad to compete

Good mix to be an owner ??? maybe not but no worse than the UKs politicians and more

Scunthorpe still has a football club

btw if he goes n the club folds would you shed a tear ???

A fairly easy question to answer, with Hilton at the helm we have a club, without him – who knows. Some of us are desperate for our club to survive, others just want to see Hilton humiliated. Do I have concerns? Of course I do, but I also wonder why you and Interested Bystander are so keen to destroy an individual.

Glad your not responding in kind DM to ironeye/ ironinsider, his agenda is well set by now and as you point out very accurately he has no way of knowing any final outcome regarding our club on such matters. He has posted vitriol and bile towards SUFC and in particular it’s owner for months now with not a shred of conclusive evidence to back up any of his claims. He professes to be a fan but his agenda is nothing like that of a genuine supporter, just what motivates such individuals is beyond me.

Hmmm….

Yeah it’s me that posted it.

Mind blowing some of the negative comments and rumours that come on this site. 95% of them ain’t backed up either

Why would someone go out the way to make an account up which is family and friends on it from years ago? Must of took alot for him to post on the Facebook page but then again there’s rumours constantly so entitled to give his side back?

Unfortunately some people ain’t happy unless they have something to have problems with?

Get off his back and give the bloke a chance ffs

Hahahahahahahaha!

Myself, DeereyMe and CMC seem sceptical. The ground stuff proved to be a real concern. I hope for the best, but won’t suspend scepticism.

Correct Sidey.

Poison dwarf(Hurst) worst one for me with how far he took us backwards in his short time. then went on to blow Grimsby’s cup windfall and nearly got them relegated again. Shrewsbury bottom of the league.

Hill next – just dreadful all the way through.

Some classless comments on social media regarding his new appointment

Most of them are from those who know the football scene round Pboro… Sacking a manager a few games after he got you promoted.. this was all planned. “Classy” behaviour.

Nice Guy Jimmy, no wonder so many of you were taken in by the previous crowd!

[CMC]

So, Spalding Sacked their promotion-winning manager over the weekend and his replacement is.. Jimmy Dean.

I know he’s popular with some of the committee and volunteers there so this seems to have been on the cards.

Oh well, no side trips to SHS for a while(especially as Pinchbeck are moving out!)

[CMC]

Nice to go to a game where the focus is on the football for once. Roj and his lad came out pre match to speak to the fans, plenty on the terracing, pints being sunk no trouble at all.

On the pitch we were excellent, Scales unlucky to score with his dipped shot before we did score after about 2-3 potshots on goal. after a few wasted chances we wrapped up the points. South Shields looked a shadow of their side last season, i saw their budget has been reduced?

There were a few youngsters hanging round the ground when i came out so that could be the reason for the bus having its windows being put in.

Went downhill when Bob Steels retiref

Went downhill when people stopped paying for their news, same as the rest of the industry sadly. These days people don’t buy papers and don’t want to pay for new websites, so it’s not surprising that the quality drops. What is unforgiveable is the way the last government cut BBC funding forcing them to slash BBC local radio, something which is really important for communities & democracy. These days there is very little Humberside-specific reporting which is combined with a big drop in the number of journalists working in the region.

The Lincolnite Website has folded and Gi News will probably follow, people won’t pay for websites but will pay a couple of quid for a quality paper, which the Telegraph isn’t.

[CMC]

Not bothered about what Hilton is doing now, surprised it’s not been mentioned OTR as some are still pining for him and his manager?

[CMC]

Jarrow is one stop away on the Metro and has a Wetherspoons and other pubs.

Went into the pub by Heworth Station for the cup game, nice traditional pub.

Just note Metro has no toilets if you’re on it a while!
