    The drummer doesn’t bother me, what does is the crap tune played as soon as we score a goal at home.

    Got to agree with this .. its embarrassing, out dated and corny…..needs to be dropped

    The matchday atmosphere at GP has never been as consistently “up” as it has been in the last two seasons – due in no small part to the drummer and his mates. Leave them alone, they’re doing a cracking job. If you don’t like it put earplugs in.

    It was like being sat in a morgue, in the main stand back in the old days.

    Rene pplease dont leave you are one of the very few posters who say it as it iz ..

    Sorry fellow Bru ppl but here he latest from bullshit Dave ..this must be a piss take posted on SUFC FB page replying to Jason the advisor Herbert…whom is also growing wings within the clubs hiarachy.
    quote
    Jason to have been the places I’ve been and met the people I met all down to my Dad who was my best friend but a tough taskmaster, I didn’t think he was fair at the time but now I realise it was only him wanting both my Brother & me succeed in Life, he was both Assessor & Chief Scout at Barnsley and Leeds and assessor at Wolves before he died, I helped him when my footballing career was cut short, he didn’t drive so I was one of his drivers and went to so many grounds , so many matches – Special times , I’m not sure what he would make of ” Positivity ” Dave ? probably ” Daft Bugger ! ” 🤣😂Thanks Jason I was back with him for a minute there ❤️UTI !

    Ewing Rowley Westbrooke

    Mahady Howe Dausch Denton Smith Barrows

    Second half
    Howe on for Whall
    Dausch for Jones

    Hope Butler does not set up NOT TO LOOSE.
    Arguably the biggest game of the season so far to clinch a PO spot .. so

    Heart says 3-2 Iron
    Head 3-2 Halifax
    So another 2-2 draw it is then

    Hope the hoards of Iron fans traveling have a smashing time, these are the sort of away days i really miss.

    As each week goes by it feels to me like Dave and the Iron Hour gang are the unofficial spokespersons for the club.

    Indeed it seems these particular fans are being spoon fed sufc updates to circulate into the wider fan base ..unless of course the updates are negative or involving finances and transfers etc..
    Predicting with the amount of leg work and bottom licking PD is currently undertaking there may well be some kind of position lined up for him in the future ” fan liaison officer ”
    the plethora of PD cringeworthy FB posts must be for brownie points and to gain some traction with the club.
    As a relatively new fan still unsure where he appeared from and more so how long he will hang about as the positivity and enthusiasm dwindles.
    Its all harmless but non the less smacks of self importance back slapping and becoming very tediously over positive.
    Stopped reading anything he posts now as made my eyes bleed .. take away PD post and it leaves very little to actually read on the SUFCFFBP

    Given the wing options we have now surely he plays through the middle? But for who? Can see him being a sub for a few games at least

    My thoughts exactly DM
    Howe will be bench warming 100% .. Jones Roberts Whall up top no room for him on the wing…unless AB plays Howe with those 3 which is POSSIBLE BUT very doubtful

    See Dave’s got Glyn Sparks to arrange a exclusive photo with Farrell on Wednesday guess it’s access all areas for him now. Wonder if AB as considered letting Dave give the pre match pep talk now they’re besties.
    Invited some kid along with the promise of a Dave mug for him!

    Slight disclaimer …. PD and the lad due a mugging both sponsor Farrell and it seems he may be heading back to Barnsley as all their strikers are crocked so hence the rapid photo opp arranged, still having the ear of Mr Sparks as well as AB must give him a boner on.

    Maybe he should be retagged “Positively Relentless Dave” as he is gradually gaining traction within the higher areas of the club and wouldnt be surprised to see him given some sort of part time role somewhere IF HE IS STILL LURKING ABOUT AFTER THIS SEASON.

    Given he has been the only fit centre back at the club for the last few weeks it’s hardly surprising he has been playing.
    For an older pro having to play 2 games a week in a team who’s midfield has gone pretty much AWOL the old fella has not done too badly. Did we not just win 3 games in the last week despite 25 hours sitting on a bus?

    Wow the life of NL footballer on min 1000 quid a week

    Do we really have too many non-playing staff? I thought that aspect was very lean. In fact, the lack of expertise in some areas is linked to the foundation needed to progress.

    It’s not hard to see why we can’t meet the running costs, they employ to many non playing staff.

    We expected and wanted change when Swanny left, it started to happen but the new owners had other ideas.

    Agree

    The fact that Boyce is retiring at the end of the season is irrelevant. He should be nowhere near the team based on his recent performances.

    Yes he’s been a decent servant to us, but he is well past his sell by date.

    this is 100% correct

    The club failing to be more transparent (or telling porkies being economical with the truth ) has been an issue for quite some time especially when it comes to financial dealings transfers and loans etc.. the owners and or PR department do come clean EVENTUALLY but in most cases fans are drip fed or treated like mushrooms UNLESS of course its when they need help donations sponsors etc then are like lightning out the blocks with all the gory details.

    Taking fans for granted which is as plain as day will at some point come back to bite them on the bottom but by then may well be in a different league with new owners and Butler managing in the EPL.

    as well as sharing the Iron tag i note their year of conception being 1898 so 1 year before the Scunny Iron.

    Not sure about this prediction .. will the long trip to Truro take its toll and more so which Scunny will turn up….hoping JB is back though i think Evans isnt likely until Rochdale.
    Braintree score a lot but concede a lot also so a 2-2 , 3-3 is my prediction. that that i hope we can come away with a 3-2 win.

    sorry to quote myself guys but it was blooming lovely that both my score draw predictions failed yet my HOPE came in by a 90th min penalty … who cares

    Boyce needs putting out to grass .. just ok NLN but too old n slow for NL

    How many more times are people going to pick out our captain who has already said on air weeks ago that he’s retiring end of the season and went in to some detail about his future plans outside football? He is going. His choice. He knows he’s done. End of. Give the guy a break. On the whole he’s been a good servant.

    Wasnt being nasty DM ..others have also commented on recent highlighted lack of pace.

    So at least he knows his race is run which is good .. nice bloke and yes agree hes been a fantastic servant just there is a distinct chance his legacy will be tainted by his last half season of service.
    Sadly no replacement so Boycee has had to carry on knowing hes past it which is a tad unfair.

    IMO Fans will be split on this

    1.
    love it and see it as a dream of owning a slice of the hallowed turf, also as a great business idea and way to raise funds all be it a tiny portion of the funds needed to re lay a new pitch etc.
    How long before Glyn twigs on to a sponsored message on the score board or we could hear James Moody over the tannoy ” The free kick was taken from a square owned by ******* ” ” the goal was scored from bla bla bla

    AND OR

    2.
    Just another SUFC money grab off fans many of whom have dug deep on numerous occasions in the last few years when in reality the pitch should be down to the club owners to fund.

    SO Bruers .. which camp are you in ??

    btw IFA is firmly in camp 2 ..

    Sponsor a fork shovel lawnmower only £100

    Not sure if this is a joke fed up fan but im sure Mr Sparks brain will be in overdrive trying to find a way to get the required equipment (more donations).. he would sponsor a dog turd in the car park given the chance.

    As stated there is little difference in lower league two to mid to upper table National League. I doubt we will struggle in league two – as most clubs don’t having gone up. We are currently doing well in attracting supporters through the gates, need to build on this impetus – not wanting to go up would be counter intuitive to professional sport, rotten to the core.

    Increased away gates and an average home crowd of 5k plus are achievable which will help a sustainable model, two ties against Grimsby should be all the motivation we need! (Unless they go up, they’re a bit hot and cold atm). Let’s face it our entire back line needs an overhaul whatever league we’re in anyway

    Nail on the head there especially the last sentence.

    Just listened to AB pre match interview ..its gonna be a tough game weve prepared well ( as ever) more alarmingly Cal Roberts and Pat Jones 50-50 to be fit..my 1-1 prediction may be a tad optimistic if they dont figure.

    Anything other than a decent winning performance today and the attendances will drop further .. yes we MAY still finish in the play offs but scrapping n limping there with little momentum thus ending in tears at the first hurdle.

    Alty in decent form and FWIW im going for another draw 1-1 (as per my recent predictions)

    Hope everyone has a smashing community day and dont get too giddy with all the pre match entertainment.
