No flies on you Cass .. watch DW come off injured and miss the play offs big risk that could get AB in hot water if it goes tits up

[ironfromafar]

Mind boggling starting line up from AB … Starbuck Denton n Kelly all start

DW big risk if not 100%, he breaks down n out for the play offs ..

If we stay in NLN, we will most likely have the biggest wage bill in the league, so the side should be competitive.
One positive this summer is we won’t be recruiting players to play in that awful 3 5 2 system, that unbalanced the squad when we eventually abandoned it.

It all depends on whose doing the player shopping .. if its AB n Co we are doomed … im hoping if there is a mass exodus of players AB n Scoff go also and its a completely new set up.
Not really seen any motivation skills from AB and while Scoff is a back slapping smashing fella hes the same .. JD had the passion and motivation but lacked in other areas.

[ironfromafar]

If there is a mass exodus of players than im hoping AB n Schoff go too as the thought of how they will assemble a decent squad on the predicted low budget is terrifying… relegation to NPL more likely than promotion.

[ironfromafar]

Since the new CEO came in communication between the club and fans has decreased dramatically
It would be nice if the club remained a tad more consistent with updates and info on SM . SUFC official website , FB etc , i understand its hard but lets say as vocal in defeat looking at where it went wrong as in a win lapping up the glory and adulation… its like lets close the door and the Radcliffe KLT debacles will drift away.

Still no pre PBS AB or player interview to tell us how tough it will be and whose injured and im bored of birthdays of Iron past players from 1928 when quite possible every current SUFC fan was at best a stain on the underpants of humanity.

(apologies to any 95 year old fans who attended a game at 1 to 5 yrs old and remember Harry Lamb as im sure he was an excellent player)

Wouldn’t have thought any other than Campbell and maybe Alfie would be in wage structure for next season so none of the others will be here particularly if we don’t scramble our way though the playoffs

Correct , take away all those OOC and those who may request a transfer tied with a small budget (unless a big money investor comes in) its gonna be a bare bones outfit..

I recall Scales extended, what about Evans ? he was the target of abuse final whistle KLT he may request a move also.

How many would stay even if we do go up to a higher league but less salary ??

What on Earth brought on this Pat attack best summed up as a tirade of childishness.

I have zero thoughts on Hilton\,Pat or Ikeston but feel for Matlock FC , sad way to get relegated.

Nasty atmosphere around the club at moment fans attacking each other throwing stuff at players.
Uncertainty at board level not helping either.
I will go 2-0 Scunny but wouldn’t be surprised to see another draw.
Hope for Kiddy and Brackley to fail but feel it’s the playoffs for us and don’t feel the players will turn up for them either think NLN for a long time yet
Hope I am wrong

Yep pretty much how i see it .. just cant see these players ripping through the play offs .. after fans abusing them and quite few whose contracts run out and will be jumping ship…tag on the heavily rumoured BovD reshuffle and tight budget NLN beckons for quite some time by that im predicting another 3 to 5 yrs.

I still think will beat PBS though

Just an FYI, Sparks is best pals with the CEO, apparently follows him round like a lost puppy.
Sparks has been a key man in terms of helping the ceo get rid of people and companies, as well as undermining michelle.

sparks is apparently a bigger problem than people realize.

he has even be caught slagging James Moody off, questioning moodys motives at the club… which i think is fair to say is beyond questioning…

He (Sparks) may well be undermining some whilst caressing the egos of others early for a move up the ladder next season when there is a cabinet reshuffle.

[ironfromafar]

if no Iron miracle than i hope Brackley go up auto rather than Kiddy .. either way who ever we get in the play offs its gonna be tough and no margin for another lacklustre display.

Depends on which Iron turn up ..the one we saw v Chester or the other totally devoid of any passion v Radcliffe and KLT.

Im going for 3-0 home win partly down to HOPEFULLY the rebound factor after such a poor performance at KLT.

Its not over until the rotund cheerleader puts her pompoms away and i fancy Hereford to give Kiddy a good game n nick a point or even better all 3 .. but sadly cant see Brackley slipping up at all last 2 games.after so many years as the bridesmaid i think its their turn to be the bride.

will be interesting who is in NLN with us next year – only 1 northern team coming down. Maccs could be the big club rather than us

Can’t see anybody but Macc storming the NLN title next season. They could probably won it this season with a few additions.

IMO NLN will be a whole lot harder next season as more teams go full time and the notables coming in especially as mentioned Macc T .. also quite possibly with Scunny having a different looking BovD and weaker squad as a few of the current lot will be leaving.

This was the year to get out and still in with a shout but not on yesterdays performance.

At K. L., they had two attempts and scored from the one on target whereas we had 20 of which 10 were on target. Unfortunately, we were playing a pub team of time wasters. I wonder which pub their number six plays for.
A most disappointing result after a three and a half hour drive from Newbury.

And there lies the problem .. we do not have a threat up front when up against an half decent organiszd side

We have in reality been so lucky this season to even be in with a sniff of promotion.

so many crap negative performances
too many draws
i believe players who dont give a rats arse about the club its just money ..

this club is fooked .. many more years in NLN with bigger fish arriving in the pond.

over paid pre madonnas at NLN who are being found out.

Managed to.get a bar in Bkk too strem it ell that was a shit show DISGRACE, .. very poor all round . no desire or fight like a run ov the mill mid season game.

WHY????

Scunthorpe are a very poor side when it comes to pressure games as none of the players reLly waana be there . Soft cock effort. No loyalty its all about the cash ..

This club is fooked nextcseason .. 5 yrs plus NLN

Patpong is my only solice

Total respect for the legend that is Michelle Harness … dont blame her one bit for departing especially if its on a promotion high, will leave a lasting legacy no doubt about that.

Be interesting to see how Roj reacts and also what we are left with after the cards have been shuffled.

btw WHERE CAN I ORDERED ONE OF THOSE PLATES

Not only that we’ve been lectured by them at times and dodgy comments and actions they’ve taken, you put that head above the parapet and we are all fair game for good and bad reactions.
Honestly don’t you believe Stu deserves criticism over ticketgate.

Except the odd below par comment i see the rest as piss taking and Maw probably deserves what he gets going back to dodgy Daves era and the preaching and name calling he was prepared to use.

The strip show they held in the iron bar went down very we, maybe a few Asian babes for Stu.
Spoiled though with one little lad wanting to fight the biggest in the room, just before they were going to get down to the sex show.
Don’t think anyone will disagree that sex sells, let’s be having it Mr vice president or CEO.

In my younger days i did once attend a cranking strip night at Glanford park exec lounge it was circa in the late 90s and very well attended , a couple of very well proportioned young ladies if my memory hasnt deserted me totally.
Of course i left just before the lasses removed their final bits of clothing as i was very shy back then and had my paper round to do early in the morning.

Security at the weekender could well be an issue if Zanetti has his way ..
quote ” if it doesnt work out its costing a fortune” doesnt bode well ..

Isnt Proper Herbert head of security for the weekender ?? get the staff from his buddies out on day release perhaps

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG ????

[ironfromafar]

Hope Whall is FULLY fit for the next 3 games but i doubt he will be risked by AB, he was very coy when after the obligatory spoon fed interview Moody dropped in at the end about his future plans , staying going suggesting hes up to NL level .. Danny seemed hesitant in reply and IMO got the impression if not promoted he will more than likely jump ship along with a few others.

As already commented arguably KLT is the biggest of the last 3 AB has to be brave in his set up and play .. loose and we are toast, win and then can start to believe as i think we beat PBs and its all down to Hereford final day..

[ironfromafar]

my last 4 game predictions INCLUDING THE KLT SCORE

Spenny Scunny win (ONE DOWN 3 TO GO)
KLT 1-1 draw
PSpts Scunny 3-0 win
Hereford 2-1 loss

88 pts total which IMO would see you finish third. HOPE IM WRONG.

Bike nights, Andy Cole evening, Tom Zanetti event, yada yada.

How well are these events being received re interest and ticket sales which at the end of the day is what its all about .. the Zanetti gig especially looks like a hot potato and far from being a certain success hope im wrong.

The salary for this position (if there is one) is the irritating part of this especially with club so strapped but i say give the fella a chance, hey maybe he still has high up connections within the WWE over the pond and bring wrestling to AAGP.

Have nothing against Jerry and in times of yore recall thinking whose that daft twat running about retrieving balls at TOSG back in the day he had a rather strange running style though was lightening fast suppose as the years have passed hes slowed down and became more irritable as at times especially on SM he comes across as obtuse,condescending and to full of his own self importance to the point of being down right rude.
Kudos for him doing the away travel Jerrys Express a thankful task probably with little reward.

There are others at the club far more dangerous than Jerry IMO but thats for another day

[ironfromafar]

When first seeing Mr Michael pic i thought “Phantom of the Opera” but upon reflection also it has to be one of Sharps or Roberts besties which i believe has already been confirmed.

Lets give him a chance and see what he brings to the table as the club needs all the income streams it can find especially now the unity mafia mega Maw millions has gone tits up.

Hoping a super rich investor (dare i say buyer) is found as missing out on promotion this season followed by a player exodus would IMO lead to a prolonged stay in NLN as the teams already in it improve and the likes of Macc town are added to the mix.
