    Fitz

    Max Evans Nicholson

    Barrows Brogan Rowley Law

    Roberts

    Whitehall Carlton

    That would be ok with me S11 .. only change Scales for Barrows IMO.

    Im guessing Clunan is nailed on to start as he is probably gonna be the captain again this season (i would prefer another capt)

    Good points earlier Brackley are unknown and may be not the same team as in recent seasons, AB needs to set up to go out and attack not be cautious and go for a no loss/draw or sit back sneaky 1-0

    Good post MK.

    Nothing is a given in football , in the most part its all so unpredictable ..passionate fans , crazy results , last minute over head kicks (Bellingham) MAKE IT THE GREAT GAME IT IS.

    Whilst i agree on the economics a freak season like Tamworth had can not be legislated for and whose to say there isnt another one of them looming to surprise us all.

    Champions and auto promotion would obviously be brilliant being a tad more realistic fingers crossed we can play well score plenty and end up there or there abouts come next April.

    One thing is not in any doubt in recent months the turn around in the club in every way has been miraculous now lets get it going forward on the pitch.

    As fans we are entitled to our opinions my being no as optimistic as it seems many other are , at full time in the Chorley fixture we should have a better idea as to the seasons expectations.

    Im predicting getting 7 or 8 points from the 12 up for grabs from those first 4 fixtures (2 home n 2 away)… followed by 2 difficult games v SS and Kiddy to end August on circa with 11-12 points.

    A season of stability finishing 7th to 10th is my prediction.

    Does Butler know what his best team is?I’m not sure

    Worryingly I dont think hes does.

    Re food ..having some footy food and a pint was part n parcel of the whole experience i was always a meat pie n Bovril guy ..long before the days of pulled pork the like.

    On away days set off early always had to have a few beverages en route and find a good chippie near the ground.

    OK we’ve got a few days to sort it out, Butler doesn’t know his team yet so let’s give him a hand. I’ll go:-
    Fitzsimons
    Kouogan, Evans, Nicholson
    Scales, 2 from (Grogan, Rowley, Clunan), Denton
    Roberts, Whitehall, Carlton
    Pretty unlikely as AB hasn’t got anywhere near that in pre-season.

    that would be my starting 11 Cass ..but it is unlikely.

    Law for Denton maybe

    Roberts may not start, come off the bench when required if AB airs on the side of caution not wishing to loose on opening day..

    Off topic … could the season KO be effected by the current unrest in the UK ?? im thinking travel and policing issues .. lets hope not

    Butler was experimenting against Chesterfield.

    Too late to be experimenting IMO, his preferred first XI should have been established and started this game.

    Agree Cass experimenting should have been happening up until the Hartlepool game and the thought that it seems AB doesnt know his starting line up come Brackley is a tad worrying , we arent man City who can rotate every week n still win the league at a cantor.

    II still think come the time suspensions and injuries happen the squad is still light on depth, can see Law Beestin Denton Kelly or Roberts being injury free for long.

    Law for Denton also an option ..plenty of cover off the bench while all are fit and remain uninjured.

    Im sure there will be a score prediction thread for Brackley but chuckin mine in early at 1-1 which wouldnt be a bad start away at one of the sides tipped to be up there again this coming season.

    Unlike JB not overly fussed where Wilson plays or how he gets on , attitude issues if i recall and he never really did amount to much other than the odd rare bit of magic.
    Apparently he turned down Barca to join Scarboro solely as he loves the beach and candy floss.

    I wish JB every success where ever he plays .. cracking player and one we should of tried harder to keep .. pleased hes not in NLN…and donations to various causes notably the SUFC Gofundme page should never be forgotten.

    Hilton made excuses for the ground not being bought, yet these excuses were resolved by Harness in a month. That’s not ‘rewriting history’, it is what happened. Dodgy Dave failed, though he wasn’t ever interested in having the club succeed.

    Correct, agree totally with your last sentence , one can only assume Swan n WHAM hated each other so much no way deal was ever gonna get done .. thank the Lord along came Michelle and this was swiftly rectified.

    I recall Mr Elliot leaving the BovD but for a club so dear to his heart he has been awfully quiet recently.

    Why do the club need Q park ?? when they have the JT Training ground at AAGP , plastic pitch at JLC and Bottesford.

    I can only think its part of the community asset deal.

    When they realise Clunan isn’t good enough,we should be ok.

    Bit of an enigma is Clunan and needs to get back to the form (Brief spell) in his early days at the club before injury .. with the likes of Brogan and Rowley now signed Clunans place should not be guaranteed or assumed.
    On that subject i think its time for a change of captain so who would your regular club captain be for the coming season ?

    It’s saddening but on this evidence I really don’t expect us to do anything this season.

    After all the recent years of turmoil the club hit rock bottom and is on the up … i think this coming season will be one of stability .. it would be nice to be up and around the top of the table go keep the attendances up but like Appollo im not overly enthused and certainly not confident or predicting promotion .. IMO a long hard season awaits plenty of twists n turns for sure and its play offs at best.

    Seemingly Glanford Park is part of the global conspiracy of lizardmen to bring in the great totalitarian state of neo-Marxism via capitalist economics. Harness will be attending the WEF this year, no doubt.

    Never have been a fan of ” This is it take it or leave it” !

    I would stop buying any extras ! Don’t get it, this will alienate and at this time that is not the way to go.

    Reading many of the comments most are against it offering up many reasons and some erring on calling the decision hypocritical.

    No doubt about charges for cash as if cards don’t charge.Perhaps they could have “your cash transactions sponsored by” on a tannoy in the booth.They’ve seemingly monetised everything bar breathing

    It does seem that way 64 …. i note no sponsor for the bog seats yet …Comorn Glyn get yer finger out !!

    414 hit the nail on the head WHAM paid just enough bills to keep the longer game money grab scam going.. season ticket money , share options, maybe even gate receipts club shop sales etc.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing and at least thats all in the past the club has survived and in a much better place in all aspects. Im confident the Iron will return to the EFL at some point in the next 5 – 10 years…HOPEFULLY debts all paid off next month . ground safe and owners who care all in all not been a bad few months, im even quite pleased we didnt get promoted now as no way were ready for the NL and very likely JD would still be here.

    As for Hilton hes gone and for now i trust quote “enjoying his life away from football” though im sure hes harboring thoughts of where next to have a go next.

    Buxton each way (top 3 finish)

    £72.50 back if they finish second or third.

    A seasons entertainment for less than the cost of one Indian meal at the local Punjabi Palace.

    IMG-5074

    Tasty wager Rene .. hope it comes in for you …………..each way obviously and Scunny are above Buxton !!!.. sorry forgot to take mi meds this morning n still a bit unstable hence that ridiculous prediction.

    Just dont get this third keeper coming in (if it happens) ..makes zero sense and a waste of money that could go to other areas where we do look light especially with some in the squad being so injury prone.
    For such an obvious unnecessary addition to be even considered im of the mind there must be whispers in the wind re Fitz” future.
