So, if this crap get’s the go-ahead this weekend how are we protesting?

Sponsors across the whole club spectrum must get on to Glyn Sparks pronto to voice their concern …ive seen only only major sponsor do so as yet.

As for fans on cusp of a coup style betrayal of epic proportions at the most crucial part of the season but just how to protest yet to be decided as they will more than likely unsettle AB and the players for the run in.

Crikey … i know Saturdays fantastic win was huge but as my earlier post im seeing even more fans on SM Fb etc now assuming its guaranteed us the title , “we are champions” , “going up” as though its already done .. PLEASE get a grip way to many variables and this IMO is sheer folly , its madness they call it madness and one step beyond sanity.

Please CALM DOWN dont buy the champagne ,make the T shirts or book the open top bus until its won … out title aspirations could well be derailed by all the rumours of this coup style “takeover”.

[ironfromafar]

it will all be labelled as necessary ” fiscal streamlining ” ..seems the club are changing direction re decisions based on loyalty towards those who helped when at their lowest ebb
Other than Michelle n Roj are our other directors true fans ?? at the mo its making me wonder.

[ironfromafar]

a draw would be marvelous .. as well as sendings off for both

Kiddy free scoring recently means their goal difference is now close to ours which may come into play later

[ironfromafar]

This is all very worrying.

We had Swan
We had Hilton

Then thank the lord Michelle came along to save the club and in the course of a years relative stability largely due the the local council, businesses and fans / population of the town rallying round to raise money… if this FC 100000 is allowed to happen what a huge kick in the gonads it will be for all those who helped when the chips were down and the club on the cusp of folding.

If Sharp ETC are true fans they should know this is a massive NO NO and could possibly destroy all the great work that has been done.

Sponsors already coming out against this , lets hope more do and put the pressure on those leading this which INO is a betrayal of the fans and towns loyalty.

All this negativity at the crux of the season and after the euphoria of 8k plus and a fantastic win against Chester its a real downer and more so could well effect the mindset of the players and coaching staff as well as sponsors and fans with more un necessary uncertainty.

WTF are “they” thinking of ???

Rather than chavfest, with a shite line up appealing to Superdry Warriors, which is surely realistically going to attract a few thousand locals and a thousand from out of town, wouldn’t a better strategy have been trying to sign a decent headliner and support act or two for each day who could guarantee a sizeable audience? I just don’t get their approach tbh.

Yes IMO 100% the best way to go .. one huge headline artist with a few run up crowd warming bands.

1 decent big name attracting a huge crowd rather than a plethora of semi talented noise polluting ones attracting less numbers and more hassle of the Zanetti kind.

Just get the feeling this whole event is gonna be a disaster .. hope not but heyho.

what im seeing on the various YT vlogs and SM is that some Scunny fans are thinking because of yesterdays brilliant win we are almost certain to be champs .. one commenting its all but guaranteed us the title.

Yes we are in a decent spot and im more positive and optimistic than i was a while back but thoughts as above are all way way too premature..plenty of twists n turns in this story yet for sure.

Rather ironic the club stressed to fans re miss behaving and yet the biggest culprit on the day (Scunny associated) was Mr Zanetti in his half time embarrassing expletive filled yelling and the club gave him the mic 555555
A few on SM saying he may well ov had something else in his system other than joy and good music vibe and sadly Susan Boyle,The Crankies and Dolly Parton have now cancelled their sets at the weekender in protest.

I hope the weekender gig is a huge success but the promoters antics yesterday wont help ticket sales which by all accounts are very slow … could be a real disaster especially if the weather is nasty as well as the music.

Well done to all fans and players .. great day even from afar.

Today’s the day – 2-0 – Mark Beck and Michael Clunan

What odds on Clunan scoring .. be a miracle of biblical proportions …

Dont care who nets but be great if Beck , Udou or Mo could notch.

Waiting news on Danny Whall n Alfir Beestin .. if included could be key.

Due to atrocious recruitment, and poor striking options, I can only see a scraped draw, or close defeat. Brace yourselves lads, 0-2, 1-2, or 1-1.

Sometimes its got to be laid out straight and i dont think we are good enough to to beat Chester tomorrow unless we click and its a mega performance rather than the mediocre we are used to. ITS CALLED CRUNCH TIME and i hope the players step up and put the effort in to reward the massive fan turn out.

That said .,.re previous post
Yes sadly i agree 0-0 1-1 is best option .. BUT i fear a 0-1 or 0-2 or 1-2 for the exact reasons you mention,, our toothless strike force and a huge loud away following may well get Chester over the line as Scunny NEVER turn p on the big occasion.

Gareth’s vlog from last night is good, seem to be going for a world record of using the F word.

Having just found time to watch Gareths cinematic extravaganza it does appear we were utter gash and the performance was very lack luster being out played in every aspect …yet im still seeing some delusional SUFCFFB members saying it was a decent performance.

We are well in the title mix along with 3 or 4 others and maybe one surprise package sneaking up on the rails ..Saturday is now massive arguably the biggest game of the season so lets hope for once we turn up on the big occasion as in the past more often than not we have not in such circumstances.

Can’t say to much didn’t watch the game, but from what has been said we appeared lack luster again, could have made a real statement for the title by going 5 clear and getting rid of kiddie altogether in the process, makes Saturday game win or bust imo.

No biggie if we win on Saturday another 4 wins after that should see us win the title anything less then playoffs it will be.

Goes without saying not happy with Butler he’s getting the bare minimum out of his squad and every game seems a trial,, not many games are enjoyable but at least we’ve being getting results mainly due to the piss poor opposition, last night losing 1-0 and putting Boyce on, and not Mo or Williams who are more creative players in my eyes unbelievable, fail to see where he thought doing that would get us an equalizer.
Promotion or not I hope he goes (though I do know if we do he won’t) if only for his shite recruitment.

Agree .. NO MO was a BLOW..

Roberts was marked out the game n bingo we are toast.

[ironfromafar]

How many more big crowd , must win games are we gonna bottle ?? .. realistically are we better than any other team in the top 8 ?? average performances . late lucky goals to scramble a face saving result leads me to believe not and i think Saturday will be a tight affair, a huge following and our toothless chance taking front line may cost us .. so at best a draw is my prediction 0-0 OR 1-1

So many delusional SUFC fans thinking we are superior when in reality we are not.

We are in the mix

Maybe Matlock then? They haven’t scored for 3 games and I believe they’ve had some recent investment.

Isnt Immingham the posh part of Grimsby without the stench of fish , flytipping, boarded up windows and super glued letterboxes so bailiffs can post a summons …

It makes Scunny look like St Tropez ..

Maybe a few of Hiltons era mega signings could be tempted to Matlock with another Willy Wonka golden ticket regardless if we go up OR NOT.

[ironfromafar]

got my alarm set for 2:30am … must confess to not being overly confident or optimistic about the next two crunch fixtures .. we always seem to bottle it in front of a big crowd.

Kiddy … Im predicting an open game with us avoiding defeat being acceptable keeping the run going. 1 point incoming 1-1

Chester … not easy to call with a possible 8k plus crowd hopefully getting to enjoy a cracking game … 3 pointS incoming 3-2 just not sure who too.

Sounds daft obviously hoping for a Scunny win but did however manage to get a tenner on a Farsley win at 40s.. sorry but just had to be done.

is Susan Boyle booked ???

Plenty still critical of Beck. Is it justified?

As AB has changed the setup IMO Beck has and is improving .. shame his goal was chalked off for offside as he needs to score again to boost his confidence, twas a tight call by the look ov it.

Im just not overly optimistic we have it in us win the title and so twill be the dreaded lottery of the playoffs again thus proving just what a shit stain this league is.

[ironfromafar]

Yesterday a decent result and keeps the unbeaten run going (all be it too many soft draws) BUT are current performances at a level that of a title winning side …. im not sure they are sadly to hit n miss and too many average halves as in yesterday.
If i had to put a lump of money on us it would not be promoted as champions but possibly sneak it via the playoffs… which in hindsight during the negative boring spell when ABs future in in doubt most would have taken.

But a short while ago i thought they (Oxford) were a tough side to play at home and their league position wasnt merited ??

As for it being a slow week, some things that might be factors;

Nothing much on-field or off to moan about
Butler Outists quietened
Not much club activity reported
Not much intrigue, gossip, rumour
Burner accounts quiet
Time of the season – waiting for the final run in
Weather improved – washing to put out, gardening to be done
Bad reception in our nuclear bunkers
Not arsed with life generally…

All quiet on the Western front ..not a lot to comment on recently especially with ABs apparent change of heart and more attacking flowing football being on the menu.

Add to above some ov us peasants are busy working .. or got locked in a naturist ,bondage “discipline” and swingers resort for a few days.

[ironfromafar]

Come end ov the season and if we have failed in our promotion quest it will be interesting to see who stays n who departs especially those signed it those crazy days of Hiltonmania .. money over any loyalty for most im guessing, its a fact if there is a mass exodus it will more than likely leave us with a mountain to climb with a basic squad of averagness.
What we look like without Fitz , Roberts, Whall, Clunan,Denton etc ..

Saying that if we are promoted im guessing some might still jump ship.

[ironfromafar]

Crazy league this in every one of todays games both teams scored ..no nils , Scunny being the last to notch very very late on.

[ironfromafar]

Fitz
Dents Evans Max Rose
Scales Clunan Rowley
Beestin Wreh Roberts

Subs Ubo Beck Kelly Boyce Fadera

Is anyone remotely interested in it, announced the dates but no acts ffs.

Not wishing to be a Victor Meldrew but i am certainly not interested even if i was in UK and it was free i would not attend..my hot dance moves are somewhat restricted since my Tiffanys dance floor days of yore but each to their own… music,sausages,meat pies big boobs small boobs, poodle or pit bull, vanilla or chocolate,straight or gay its what makes the world go round.

I do however hope the weather is kind, there is a huge turn and its a massive success out thus so assisting the club financially
