All hypothetical of course but if the Iron Trust could pass a thousand strong in membership and each member stumps up a grand , could Elliot and Sharp come back in with some more money, maybe some kind of lottery grant included too? It’s a long shot but we need that ground to save the club in its current form.

The club statement said that it was Coolsilks refusal to discuss the ground situation that has lead to us leaving after Saturday because of fear of back rent to pay when the ground issue is eventually settled. That tells me there won’t be a legal defence over the ground from our side and with the owner not funding the club he’s hardly going to court to buy a ground for a club he wants to sell. Sell, what a joke, he is rumoured to have only paid one pound for the club in January and has already said he won’t get any money back ( if any ) he has paid into the club since then. Mind you he said a fortnight back he would continue to fund the club till it was sold, that went well didn’t it? Just give up the club and clear of pal and then maybe some group of investors will come in, take over the club and begin a dialogue with Coolsilk to acquire the ground. UTI.

The contentious nature of Awaywegos posts, which has probably accounted for 75% of his input over the years on this forum, now threaten to give him 100% brain fog on this particular issue. Which part of standing together as one for OUR football don’t you understand?

Fair play to Dean who has conducted himself very well this season. The team had some good results and although there may be a dip in the next few games owing to folk not eing paid and behind the scenes turbulence, I think he’s done pretty well in the circumstances.
The guy is clearly not very articulate in front of the cameras and doesn’t like interviews, but then give me a decent manager every day over a shiny-toothed patter merchant who talks a good game but doesn’t deliver any results.
Fingers crossed we get through all this.

I just think he comes across as genuine which TBF we aren’t used to at Scunthorpe United and I’m referring to higher up the ladder.7 users thanked author for this post.
Think he struggles a bit sometimes in interviews and it’s probably just not his thing , he’s done good things with this group of players but they let him down a bit today second half. I always think Jimmy comes across as a genuine guy and unlike the current non funding owner he actually appears to feel something for our club and it’s supporters, nice one Jimmy, if we somehow continue as a club I hope you stay.

Anyone got the crowd?
Crowd wasn’t shown on the scoreboard for some reason, quite respectable, I’m crap at guessing but around 4000 perhaps? Good stuff first half but a tale of missed opportunities and hitting the post rather then score with the entire goal to aim for ( Whitehall). Poor defensive display second half but congratulations to Buxton for taking their chances although never a pen, foul yes but outside the area and the player tumbled into the area after contact, once again the officials at this level leave a lot to be desired. Still time wasting by Buxton with eleven added minutes which included about a three minute stoppage for a mini pitch invasion by 12 year olds after their pen but we didn’t deserve to win and if that’s the end then it’s ended poorly on the field for the Iron. Good buzz in the ground , Iron Army taking cash donations in buckets outside prior to KO for the Gofundme effort and it was nice to see such a united front from all our fans, good effort guys let’s keep fighting for OUR club. UTI
Quite right cass, CMC whatever has been said between various parties in the past should not in anyway interfere with the unity we all need to show for OUR football club now, let’s all lead by example.

Yeah Stuart looked a bit of a broken man tonight but he’s no need to feel that way, he was conned, I was conned, a lot of us were conned and now we all need to come together and fight for OUR football club. If I see Stuart in the Vertikal Stand tomorrow I will shake his hand and tell him it’s ok to admit you were wrong, we all stand together now, it’s not about a crap owner anymore it’s about the future of SUFC, that’s all that matters.

Double bite from Awaywego, back of the net again for Fansy.

Biting again Awaywego, another notch on Fansy’s belt.

I’m sure when Stuart finally addresses the point of Hilton stopping funding the club he will probably say the fans chased him out the club and he had no choice but to stop. I hope one day he can see the reality for what it really is, it took me long enough before the penny dropped and apologies to anyone I gave a hard time to on here. You know it doesn’t matter how old you are you never stop learning and sometimes the hard way.

I’m pretty sure the thread title is ‘Keep it Civil?
Maybe it should be ” Keep it Civil Engineering”, after all GP is overdue an upgrade.

Personal shite CBRP which most don’t give a shite about.
Don’t think the majority are bothered about his jail time it’s the dishonesty regarding the matter when asked about it prior to the Athletic story. Now apparently it is important enough to warrant him running away and bleating on about him tarnishing the club’s name in the process. He’s deceived people he has abused people and he’s lied to people about his past, seems pretty straightforward IMO.

Matt don’t stay quiet on here about this latest development, come on and put us all clearly in the picture as to what you are supposed to have done. The entire membership will be fully behind you in fighting any ban from GP.

Just to clarify the clubs zero tolerance policy on people throwing objects onto the field of play home or away, the guy throwing the mobile phone onto the pitch at Chorley on Saturday gets banned right?
