    The Shay 1981/2 or year after was the pits (speedway pits to be precise). Doubt it had changed much since 1968!

    Ha ha, there you go with that black and whiteness again UTI99. There’s a lot more to it than that as you well know.

    ‘Shambles to be honest pal. We pay our old chairman £450k per year for the luxury of playing at our own stadium and it’s crippling.’

    Uh-oh, just seen in to the future!

    Certainly not UTI99. Before I go, was the username question for me? And if so, why?

    I’m not crying UTI99, just utterly fed up with it all. And I think that’s justified. Anyhow, another discussion with you, another Groundhog Day! Bye for now. I’ve got a business to run!

    You talk like you’re stuck in the past UTI99 because you expect blind devotion and never seem to take in to account market forces and competition for supporter’s money. Okay maybe not the past, maybe cloud cuckoo land.

    A few token offers do not equate to initiatives UTI99. You certainly seem to reflect the club’s approach to business uncannily!

    Why’s it naive? If you want to enjoy the good times you’ve got to endure the bad. Imagine what difference an extra 1000 fans could make to the playing budget? £250k per season at least!

    If only it was as simple and black and white as that. Platitudes aren’t going halt the decline. But you carry on sticking your head in the sand.

    An extra 1,000 fans? That don’t come for free, I know that much!

    I’m sure there’s a better bar to be in. Colchester left Saturday tea time. About time Carlisle and Walsall were tempted in. It’s Oldham’s round!

    If any business got in to such a state it would need some urgent investment to get back on an even keel and on an upward trajectory. At the moment the only thing I see being ‘sustainable’ UII99 is a slow painful spiral downwards; a vicious circle in which he won’t spend much more to halt the decline and increasing numbers of supporters aren’t prepared to pay to witness a car crash on and off the field. ‘Incompetence’ has been bandied about recently. I see no sign of that changing soon. Forget about expecting fans to support no matter what, that’s naive talk. Any fool can see this doesn’t just stop at National League and hey presto, straight back up. The future looks bleak unless big changes happen.

    I suspect Robbins and Alexander stopped caring how the Iron are doing a long time ago. Unless it gets brought up in therapy?

    Aha, what was it you said the other day about being abused? If you’re going to make a thinly veiled implication don’t be surprised If someone bites. So, you know, you got what you wanted didn’t you? The majority of posters aren’t mugs Alcy.

    Point of order, we haven’t been relegated yet. Steve McQueen is revving up as we speak…

    Or in our case, stuck in that cooler!

    There are numerous topics football related that haven’t been raised on here recently. Greenwood is just one of them. To imply there’s any other reason than posters being preoccupied with the club’s perilous state is making something out of nothing.

    Definitely the best post I’ve ever seen from you Bucks. I wouldn’t worry about his lawyers on that one btw. Don’t think you can get done for calling anyone a clown. I’m not sure him trying to disprove it in court would wash anyway!

    NI, Ryan Yates might be added to that list later, or an assist like got in the last round I think. The weekend just gets better and better, ffs!

    A barometer of how things are when even Bucks has gone from trying to defend the indefensible to admitting he got it wrong and finally, not posting at all. Bloody bollocks.

    Were any of the Swann’s there today? Fair enough if he’s ill but were any board members other than SE?

    I know person who could tell us but he may still be on his 160 mile round trip.
