    Jumping off the steamroller roof in the park was good for confidence building.

    About time all that grass verge in the middle of Queensway is put to good use. If it was good enough for me to go arse over tit on it inebriated on my push bike when I was much younger, it’s good enough for regional football training. Lower your expectations chaps.

    Sounds like we’re waiting for ourselves to be evicted before we can move back in! See where we end up I suppose.

    Think it would be a fair bit more than £30m I-A so my previous point still stands.

    Plough Lane is 9k capacity and cost £30m. Need to stick inflation and remedial costs on top of that for a 12.5k one in town I reckon.

    Not the Ilkeston facilities obviously-the new ones. When do players arrive for pre-season training? Early July? Wouldn’t that assume they’ll be training at Ilkeston for at least 3 months till the new facility is available? What if it goes okay there? Why move to a new facility? These questions could be answered a bit more easily if we were told where they’re going to be I suppose. Maybe I’ll have to wait till Barra gets on the phone to him again?

    Wouldn’t it be easier to just pay Swann what he agreed to pay him when they made a deal and use half that £30m on stadium improvements?

    Trying not be cynical but the new stadium stuff all seems a little ‘on the hoof’ and reactionary. I mean if I was bidding for funds to help support this venture, I think the potential funder would expect a lot more detail and a strong case for support. Perhaps it’s coming but it certainly takes a lot of time and can’t be done over a few weeks.

    Blimey. That’s a hell of a lot time and a lot of money. Wonder what the total costs will be for all this? I’m assuming there’s some top line figures somewhere, even sketchy ones. Wonder if Barra can ask Mr H?

    Yep. His comments about the ground were false, so what else might be? For the last few weeks we have been assured that we can rent Glanford Park based on his word, with any doubt dismissed as rumours. Now we find out that isn’t necessarily the case.

    I think this is a very good point. I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt but his checkered past added to what he’s said in his tenure so far and what has actually happened, in some cases, isn’t filling me with confidence. I’m quite amazed that claims ‘we’re definitely playing at GP next season but we might not be’, and a new 12.5k stadium will be built in 2 years on toxic wasteland are met with such a positive reaction. It seems like a weekly lowering of expectations. The majority of supporters despise Swann so much, çritical analysis has been parked.

    It is that, and fine if you like it, but when a key member starts spreading rubbish about like Max has done, it’s out of order. I’ve noticed other members of it chipping in with occasional digs on Twitter too. Anyway, made my point, just my opinion. Don’t want to labour it.

    ‘It is no surprise to me that iron-bru.co.uk is being targeted, just as it doesn’t surprise me why Hilton went on Iron Hour’.

    Agreed. Nothing remotely ‘independent’ about Iron Hour’. This is why Bru is valued by many of us on here; for maintaining independence and being critical but fair, supportive when it’s merited. Without it, we’d be poorer as supporter base. We often don’t agree with each other, the last few months have reached a peak, but give me that any day over a doolally Facebook Group and the critique-lite lad bantz of Iron Hour. IMO if they’d received a small fraction of the insults and abuse hurled at SST, ME and BM over the years, they wouldn’t have lasted five minutes. Thus, Max’s latest cheap shot grates even more.

    it spreads the narative though,can you imagine them saying governement refuse to negotiate causing travel chaos?

    True, it fuels those unsupportive of it but, but then they’d be accused of being The Morning Star.

    I ģet your point but I wouldn’t deem it ‘anti’union’, as union member too. They’re in the media game and your alternative headline is a bit bland tbh. The headline they used is emotive, as you say, but it’s also a reality, it will ‘hit’ events, and that’s a good thing IMO. It needs impact. Someone like ‘awaywego’ will read it differently, with his ‘I’m being inconvenienced’ attitude. 🤷‍♂️

    They’ve priced many out and wonder why there’s a market for illegal streaming? Then go after them? Doesn’t sit right.

    Ĺatest view from The Fishy:

    ‘What’s becoming increasingly worrying is the fans who are seen as being ‘respected’ among Scunny fans are still peddling the narrative set by Hilton whilst simultaneously ignoring the fact they’ve actually got nowhere to play…

    The rumours that Hilton May walk still remain, apparently because he can’t hack the excrement he’s getting on social media, which is ironic given all that burner accounts making personal digs at fans asking legitimate questions link back to him…

    Whilst there’s no doubt Swann started this mess, and the set the club on this course to destruction but if I’m honest, unless Hilton sacks it off, I can’t see him waving them. He seems as flipping mental as Swann and I’m not entirely sure he’s got the money, let alone the know how to save them…’

    Is this the same Max, who a couple of days ago tweeted that Swann must be regretting not selling to the local consortium and got grief, like a lot of people have, from a pro-Hilton burner account using very abusive broken English? Now this? Do me a favour. It’s akin to ‘it’s not me sir, it’s him, over there!!’. Ridiculous.

    Whatever is listed, the caveat will be ‘but possibly not for another 20 years’ or bizzarely ‘not in my lifetime’. The real sign of the ‘true patriot’; putting the good of the country before experienced benefits. All totally credible, apparently.

    Very disappointing from Max. No need for it and totally unsubstantiated. I’d be interested to see his evidence that a ‘disproportionately large amount of information…comes from Iron Bru still chatting with the Swanns’. To put it politely, it’s lazy and inapropriate finger pointing, and jumping on a bandwagon fuelled by those burner accounts, and possibly a historical grievance IMO.
