TBF it’s a nice little article about values and bygone times, little rose tinted specs but full of good sentiment and intentions. In truth the model of the club being proposed is the one all lower league clubs should be urged to adopt if they are too survive and it’s not the first time this thing has been tried or mooted. Lincoln are making a pretty good fist of things and seem intent on bringing the community on board, others are following suit and have been for awhile. Whether these guys succeed at GTFC remains to be seen but the idea is right and certainly our current owner seems as distant as ever about wanting such a model at SUFC. Talk is cheap Prawn, actions count, the Grimsby guy is certainly talking the talk ( we’ve had plenty of that in the last 8 years ) but he will be judged by his actions long term. If he pulls it off good luck to him, despite it being our local rivals, every decent sized town deserves a community based football club, it’s still the heart of who we all are, it’s the people’s game, it brings us closer together.

Logistically Bradford should always have a bigger budget then us, it was only Swanns early days spending blitz that saw us outbid Bradford for certain players a few seasons back, McCall said as much on an ” open night meeting ” when he was here. No-one is going to slam Swann for putting the brakes on budget wise from his early days but he appears to have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous and it’s entirely his own fault for his scattergun approach when he first arrived. A Wharton style Chairmanship would have been a more sensible approach, you know, the old guy that ran us ” like a hobby ” but of course Wharton never jumped in with both feet then knicked the ground ownership when he had fu***d up. Good old days anybody?

Neil Cox- ” Hey Tony fancy filling in at full back/ right wing / midfield / etc etc this season. Think we might be a few players light “.
Tony McMahon – ” What the f**k, I came here to put my feet up like the rest of your coaching staff “!!! 😂

See the OWS is just reminding us all that season tickets are on sale, well how could we possibly forget. With such a plethora of new wonderful players already signed up for next season, how could any reasonable person not cash in and get signed up for a ticket straight away. Wow, I’m so excited about the wonderful team we will be privileged to watch next season, better get one now folks because they are selling like hot cakes. 😂😂😂

….and don’t forget NI all this under the Chairmanship of the man who stated that the previous owner had been running the club ” as a hobby “. Don’t remember the club being £11million in debt and not owning its own ground under the previous owner, just remember several promotions, a few trips to Wembley and three seasons in the Championship. Not bad for an old fella running the club as a hobby, you paying attention Prawn?

Of course it’s relegation next season, family jewels stashed away in the Coolsilk locker, no budget, no squad, no interest. Being successful on the field isn’t part of the bigger picture and hasn’t been for several seasons now.

Think the Prawn is budgeting for a 2000 crowd break even figure for next season now he has the ground nicely stashed away in his development vault. No interest to pay on the written off 11 million quid debt HE incurred means he wants no more money frittering away on players we can’t afford. He will keep his money safe now and wait for the inevitable as we tumble into non league and beyond, then when its finally all done and all fan interest is spent then and only then will he cash in.

Best display out of the three ( know it’s not saying much but… ) thought Saka played well and Grealish must start every game if fit, he’s the one player who can deliver that bit of unexpected magic all teams need. The facts look better then what we’ve seen, played 3 won 2 drawn 1 points 7, 2 goals scored, none conceded. Bet ” passionate, brave Scotland ” would have settled for that. We do get fed some shite about the Scots in the media, they weren’t bloody good enough and 5 goals conceded, 1 scored and 1 point from 9 tells us all that. Get over yourselves Jocks and close the door on your way OUT.
