Whilst i predicted a 2-2 draw having seen the odds on 3-3 ive had a slippery tenner on that at 50/1

This season with our attacking options i fancy us to score plenty but also concede considerably more than last season.. Howe Whall n Roberts to score in most fixtures if they can keep fit.

[ironfromafar]

im going 2-2

[ironfromafar]

i was praying for a late late Woking goal to make it 3-2 .. i had a tenner 3-2 Scunny at 25/1.

I couldnt win a jam making competition if mi granny was the judge !!

[ironfromafar]

Chester should be done for the many many flares .. btw i do get why this charge has been brought and its obvious cos of the mass pitch incursion before the final whistle ..it aint rocket science.

[ironfromafar]

3-3

Oh dear .. this should be the just full BovD taking direct questions and not “hosted” by this rather tedious bunch of yes men out for a bit of fame n back slapping,…. i did like the Ironhour podcast in its early days but theres been to much bum licking since then and Bax Mellend still makes me gip.

I do still enjoy Gareths match day vlogs.

When will real fans have a voice as with the recently appointed famous 4 hand picked fans group, Maws “look at me” Unity group and now the IHPC its seems its all a bit luvvy dovvy so no real controversial sh8t is throw the way of the BovD.

Woking lost at home first game to a strong Carisle so IMO a stiffer test than Tamworth but home advantage .. 10 quid on a 3-3 at 55/1 with a back up tenner for 3-2 at 25/1..would like to see CR10 and Dec Howe get off the mark.

[ironfromafar]

when it comes to bother at footy games im guessing a few on here recall Nuneaton and Shrewsbury away , the Shay Halifax eve KO and Millwall at home.. the stuff on IHYTV was just handbags chip butties and smeared lipstick..nowt else.

DAZN ..no way i will be paying these robbers 1p more after this debacle .. had to scrap it and find HR commentary which was delayed streaming for some reason so missed the first 15 mins.

[ironfromafar]

Excellent performance and result yesterday …pleased to have predicted incorrectly.

Sterner tests to come but if AB can build on this and get the group to gel should be no problem in staying up and mid upper table achievable.

Sounds like Howe ran his socks off and Ewing was outstanding.

Wow…4 at the back! No idea what we are going to play further forward as it depends where Mr Versatile ( Alfie Beestin) plays. A statement of intent?

Another wow .. no Denton or Dawson

3-3 Tamworth 40/1 …… 20 quid

Cass AB will set up defensive as sh8t scared of loosing ..we go 2-0 down early he changes it and get back to 2-2 and 2 late goals to end 3-3

Harsh.

Accurate .. if things are going bad he like a sulk .. he was seen many times last season moaning at players .. so IMO not a good choice
New lad Jean B may have been a new broom sweeps clean , Boyce on the bench as captain ..dont get it as hes simply too old n slow to start every game.

Harsh yes ..but true Cass

Roberts moans non stop at his team mates throughout the game.

This probably means they have all learnt to ignore what he says.

Agree he does seem to whinge during games and Starbuck may suffer most if passes dont go the right way ,,Roberts IMO is not captain material and hes been given it to appease his ego.. he thinks he is MR SUFC.

[ironfromafar]

i was predicting a 1-1 .. alas im having second thoughts and now seeing a 3-1 loss as my local Buddhist monk said so and hes pretty dam accurate to the point of knowing exactly the date of recent natural disasters of which tomoorow will be the next.. so sorry defeat for the Iron tomox IMO or i want my 60p back !!

This is a massive screw up,Roberts era Iron again.
This price rise, although not huge ,being sneaked in shows a complete lack of respect.It also nay have helped fans decide to buy season tickets.
Roberts and Sharpe love a launch video and throwing in Partnerships for the sake of it like the ticket system which probably swallows up the price hike ,or the new shop Muppets skimming profits ,but simple things like respecting fans seems way off the radar.Even the fans reps are blatantly just there because the Trust upset board members over fc100000
It’s also alarming that the club are all over social media and will know the discussion on here and other platforms yet don’t see this as serious enough to warrant an urgent explanation .They’ll just carry on retweets about how be great things by the same old faces

Agree a massive lack of common sense and respect simply to inform of price increases .. , it seems the club can tweet about everything including birthdays of long deceased players and various ways of fawning funds out of sponsors yet this information falls by the way side ..
i am fast becoming an AWG believer that the club really dont give a sh8t about the fans only when it comes to creaming them.
The lack of communication is head shaking… Whilst the legend Michelle Harness and Roj R believe it may be a fans club really are the other BovD members and CEO Roberts that power pissed they think they can treat the fan base so shabbily.

[ironfromafar]

Listened to the podcast and thought it was excellent .. Mr Stamp played with a straight bat and spoke very well.
Like to see his ban lifted but doubt it will happen any time soon.

Maybe they should be looking for a chef instead, that is instead of now letting The Beckwood provide the food for hospitality for the first home game.

Maybe im out ov touch re prices but what else does the “dine with us package” include ??? as 2 courses @ 50 quid a head it wants to be a BIG lasagne and no lumps in the custard.

Just a thought but this season or until internal club restaurant gets sorted maybe they are being a tad clever and offering this match day food gig as a sponsorship to local restaurants ? the Beckwood being the first where as they provide prepare the food FOC in return for the name plug as sponsorship.

That may work ..wouldnt it ??

Take it you mean to win the league IFA.

yes correct i thought 66s was worth he punt.Promotion via playoffs odds dropped to 28/1 so might as well have put a tenner on Scunny to be champions which is shear folly.
Yeovil are backed by big money now and are a dark horse IMO and a tenner is approx a quarter the cost of a Sunday soapy followed by a roast dinner (as info for Deerey)so depending on how we get on at Tamworth this weekend i will go directly home after the morning Church service and choir practice….HONEST !!

[ironfromafar]

i have Evans and the new lad Jean B down as first team starters so Boyce as club captain will be mostly off the bench which is where i would prefer him to be bearing in mind his age and lack of speed/turn of foot.
My choice would have been Evans and Roberts.

[ironfromafar]

Ive had a cheeky tenner on Yeovil for promotion @ 66/1

[ironfromafar]

no alarm in my post .. just expecting to see more 3-2s n 3-4s scorelines this season and it s wait n see how many Scunny come out of on top.
I do still think the squad is a tad unbalanced and not judging AB until we see how he lines them up and what sort of a tune he can get out of the group hes chosen.

I don’t think, over a season, that we have the resources to compete with Carlisle, York and FGR. However, should we scrape into a playoff place, I wouldn’t rule out our chances in a one off game against them or any other.

Cant see us attaining the dizzy heights of the play offs Cass .. you mention FGR,Carisle and York but there are lots of others in with a shout.. Southend , Hartlepool and Rochdale to name just 3 more who INO will be up come the end of the season.

Mid table would be ok ..we are looking tasty up front and hoping for some attacking football and not too defensive from Butler.

[ironfromafar]

two aims …hopes … stay up and not get involved in a Boston style relegation battle where only a crazy late run saves us.

Im predicting mid table finish (and sticking with my score draw start at Tamworth)

[ironfromafar]

im guessing these people were cherry picked as whilst appeasing the fan base in general they will not rock the boat with regard to anything up to BovD level… i think its a good idea but would much rather se some older more out spoken faces involved.
At least Stu Maw wasnt chosen maybe his tongue wasnt long enough this time .

[ironfromafar]

Yeovil at 66/1 worth a tenner …placed

[ironfromafar]

Im gonna get any early prediction in as a tad busy this week.

Tamworth v Scunny will be a score draw .. and im thinking 1-1
