Imagine a forum, a world, in which we agreed with each other all the time. Not real is it? It irks me that only 100% positivity about our new owner seems palatable to some. Very odd.

[Deereyme66]

Calm down mate. Remember this is a forum for Scunthorpe United supporters. Sometimes we agree with each other, Sometimes we don’t. It’s life I’m afraid

[Deereyme66]

Lol, I really don’t posts negative posts about the only club I’ve supported all my life, day in day out. Only reason I mentioned you Patrick, was a response to awaywego’s post that cited you. I’ve attended Iron games home and away for years since the late 70s thanks. No guilt trip. These days I attend matches when I can, as I don’t live on Scunny anymore. I also did say, maybe I was a bit harsh on Hilton White, bit that seems to be ignored. Have a nice evening.

[Deereyme66]

Regarding Bru posters on SFFG; a few maybe, but not loads, as far as I can tell. Made me laugh yesterday, someone complaining about posters calling the owner, White. Even though that’s the name he posts under. No sense of irony over that way.

[Deereyme66]

Tbf to awaywego, he has mentioned this before. No dig or joke intended. On reflection, I am being a bit harsh on Mr Hilton…or Mr White.

[Deereyme66]

Snowflake isn’t a new word awaywego and frankly I couldn’t give a toss what I come across like. Regarding Hilton though, as opposed to my apparant foibles, he seems to be very good at criticising others failings, but seems to get very short tempered when anybody is critical of him. Now, who does that remind me of?

Shock horror NLI, Hilton gives an interview to an independent newspaper that’ll upset many on here they were relying on him not doing that so they could continue to criticize, should you really be advertising the fact as well as the poor catering it’s not a good look when last week you were criticizing Pat when he had after all said he could sort ours out.

Ah yes. wonderful Pat. Does he perform miracles too?

Where did he say bollockings Deerey you made that up didn’t you? and from someone who doesn’t seem to like other posters making things up, you come across as quite arrogant yourself in interpreting what Hilton meant and actually said.

In his numerous posts about the subject on Facebook, he made references to speaking to staff telling them what he expects and what he won’t put up with. In my book, that’s giving someone a bollocking. Sorry to say anything less than reverential about your new hero.

[Deereyme66]

I said he comes across as arrogant IMO. If you don’t agree with me chaps, that’s fine. Don’t shoot me for not joining in the Dave love in.

This response from a supporter:

‘My daughter works in one of the catering points and they do all do the best they can with the staffing and food they are given. So being well stocked with food and more staff will definitely reduce the ‘comments’ these young adults receive from supporters when there’s nothing left or staff having to do 5 jobs at once.’

His response? In no way aimed at ground staff. Yeah, right.

David White on Facebook…

A few things I’d just like people to know.

Firstly, the service and quality of the food and drink previously available to our supporters has not been to the standards you deserve. Measures have been taken including a change of supplier and new additions to the menu to remedy this.
I have now been made aware that despite my instructions to ensure we always have to much, rather than not enough, we ran out of food and certain drinks quite early on Saturday causing considerable embarrassment to me and the club.
I have also been alerted to the fact that the supporters match day experience with us are being impacted by the speed and level of service they are receiving providing such things.

The feedback from you is not complaining or negativity. I need it to be able to eradicate the problems and ensure we are always looking to improve. We still clearly have a long way to go.

I will be meeting with all staff on Monday emphasising what my expectations are, also how important these secondary spends are to ensure the club’s sustainability and progression and how important it is to give supporters the best match day experience possible. We want to encourage people to spend with us by not leaving any supporter in a queue far too long or by wondering if they will even be catered for at all.

Moving forward we will be better, I apologise to everybody and promise that the situations I’ve mentioned above will be resolved for Tuesday evening.

On a separate issue, the lads throwing tennis balls onto the pitch have now been identified on CCTV. Anybody causing a disturbance or issues before,during or after a game will be banned permanently from attending fixtures, we will also send our own officer to away fixtures to ensure this works home and away.

This is not something I want to happen and I’ve shown that by giving previously banned supporters a second chance.
Please respect that issues like this will create the club extra work, they carry financial implications and potentially catastrophic sanctions.

It is childish and completely unacceptable and quite simply it will not be tolerated.

It’s a fresh start for the club and everyone who cares. Please help us remove the culprits attempting to spoil things for us all.

Comes across as arrogant IMO. Blaming everyone else but himself. Not interested in your bollockings you’re going to be dishing out – just sort it out and stop whingeing on Facebook. Bloke’s got a bad attitude.

No backing for “Pat” Cliff you went to Ilkeston and saw how good and professional his catering outlets operated. They were selling the pulled pork and stuffing rolls so that’s got to be a plus.

Oh aye, pulled pork and stuffing rolls have always been the barometer of good taste. Are you on commission?

[Deereyme66]

Nothing to see here

[Deereyme66]

No idea what that refers to 64. I’m guessing you’ve been fishing on the Facebook group?

Ha ha, Vim Fuego indeed. Really should watch it again.

[Deereyme66]

Pretty sure I’ve never suggested I’d be happy with a phoenix club, in such a black and white, either or, sense. If it became the only option, of course I’d back it. Not really sure what your point is tbh. Of course we need a ground whatever form the club is in, and of course it needs the support of fans. The probability of lower gates groundsharing is extremely high, whether you, I or anybody else expects more.

[Deereyme66]

Good point. Fair question!

[Deereyme66]

It’s a woman’s choice whether to abort a pregnancy bpg, not yours or ours. No sentence required.

‘he’s got the club off Swann and that’s all that matters’

Well no, it’s not all that matters for many supporters. I agree, it’s better than re-booting as a phoenix club lower down tiers. For now. Let’s see what happens regarding the stadium and land and the club being sustainable this season first. Because if we’re evicted from GP, I fail to see how the club can stay afloat playing home games elsewhere, unless by some miracle gates reach the groundshare stadium capacity. Apologies if this sounds negative, just being realistic, as I see it.

Neither does Hilton receive ‘abuse and insults’ on here from anyone ‘on a daily basis’, as previously mentioned.

And there has been no abuse of Hilton by IB as previously stated by Pat. Opinions are fine, but abuse from IB, there hasn’t been.

[Deereyme66]

On a serious note, good to see another clean sheet and goals. That’s what a developing side needs. Good stuff.

Saw a comment last night about it not being too bad if we end up playing at Gainsborough this season. I reckon it will be a crippling financially with the rent and reduced income, coupled with a high wage bill. Sustainable?

[Deereyme66]

If I never hear about effin Ilkeston Town FC again, my life will have improved significantly.

[Deereyme66]

I think this guarantees being champions by Christmas

They have took to vetting so no tom, dick or Swann can get on though.

Bit over zealous with that vetting – saw a hilarious welcome thread to one new member with their new mod banging on about someone with fake accounts 🤣. A bit Stasi-like
