Still no official announcement on the website, why are they being so secretive?, c’mon Swann keep us informed.

Maybe he asked the club to announce it on the website and they refused? Nothing has appeared yet, perhaps it’s the ” current regime ” analogy, sounds a bit ” Putinish ” which may be too close to home for comfort. IMO.

Good post JI, just a quick couple of questions.
Do you think the lad should have been handcuffed behind his back?
Have you ever seen an Iron fan handcuffed behind his/her back by steward / security staff in all the years you have watched the Iron?My answers are no and no and I’ve watched the Iron 58 years.

‘where do we go from here apart from downwards at an alarming rate I fear’

Whether he is charged is upto the authorities. The FACT of the matter is he committed an offence by entering the ‘field of play’ and was dealt with accordingly.
Wheras a few weeks back the Rochdale fans who entered the ‘ field of play ‘ were allowed to leave without objection, difficult when there is more than one I appreciate but if the lad yesterday was treated like he was to set an example I fear the stewards/security are in for a surprise last home game of the season.

He could have given us the full circumstances Deerey but he chooses not to
No he could not because he will have had to sign a confidentiality agreement before joining the board, therefore be can only give us all a brief outline of his reasons for leaving. If we all knew the full goings on about the running of SUFC then I believe there would probably be even less fans attending home games now IMO. Give you head a wobble Awaywego and start living in the real world.

Why would he know what he was walking into?, situations at football clubs as in business change all the time, he would not have joined in he did not feel he could make a positive difference. Simon always comes across as a genuine honest man, can’t say I feel the same about some of the people he’s been associated with IMO.

Well PP if the fans director does leave in a hurry and I sincerely hope he does not, it will be a final cutting of the tenuous link between owner and fans IMO. Let’s be right the atmosphere is already a toxic one, you can read as such in the majority of the posts on this matter on here and fans discussions in the ground. I can’t recall the last time I heard a single word of support for our chairman in the ground and that includes the many elderly fans who chat pre and post match in the East Stand. I’m guessing the younger element behind the goal will be even more vociferous in their opinions. So sorry Simon has felt the need to leave the board but then again a principled person would have no choice really.

Lots of differing opinions on this matter but whatever the rights and wrongs of yesterday’s incident ( I was shocked by what went on BTW ) this whole unsavoury episode just reflects badly on our club and it’s current state. What have we become when there is such a toxic atmosphere between fans and the people running our football club? Without fans there is no club but until this current ownership is gone I can’t see anyway back for any sort of relationship between fans and club owner and as a result the club, the thing that is important to every fan of SUFC, is on a massive downward spiral with no real way of surviving successfully.
I have never felt so low morale wise as an Iron fan after what I witnessed yesterday, an unacceptable second half performance from our football team and unacceptable treatment of a fan, thug, idiot call him what you like being dragged away with his hands cuffed behind his back. By all means throw him out if necessary but like many others I have never seen that sort of thing happen before in my 58 years of being an Iron fan.
The majority of fans staying away have done so to demonstrate to Swann that they are unhappy with the way he is running our football club, after yesterday I believe many more will follow. What a bloody mess from start to finish, where do we go from here apart from downwards at an alarming rate I fear.8 users thanked author for this post.
I’m going with a few of us as we have mates In Bristol – but just to say goodbye to league football, that might be it for me. Certainly not giving Swann another penny moving forward, cry all you like about affecting the squad/ability to compete – that’s on the Chairman who is a despicable human being
Well your post is still up namesake fair play to ya, thought the last line might have fallen foul of the moderators delete pen. Still time but good for you for saying how you feel.

We can’t get 1800 in the ground on match day now and that’s with the pay on the day fans plus last minute additions, he’s deluded, living in a different universe to the normal fan.

My grandson and his other grandad. Their making a weekend of it on the train going to Cadburys world on the Sunday now that bit is tempting.
Cadbury World is deffo worth a visit, quite ironically four of us visited the place on the Sunday after we had won promotion the previous day at Shrewsbury back in 2005. How times change eh but at least your grandson will enjoy his time at Bournville.
As for the podcast – if that were all about us just having heard him speak for the very first time – we could all feel uplifted.
Yep, he gets more like a recycling centre every time he makes a statement or appears on the podcast.

As long as there’s plenty contributing – say a mere 10% of the fan base at a tenner a head- that should raise at least £90 quid.
Okay – just a bottle, then.You started off like certain chairman at a certain football club with your ” case of malt ” ambitions (re Championship ambitions ) then suddenly you became more realistic and settled for a bottle. Took you just over a day to see sense, pity it took the chairman four seasons.

Always says it as it is on the podcasts, if he continues with that approach on the board then it’s a 👍 up from me. Go get em Neil.
