Lord knows how much or how many debts came with the club and also how many DH has or has not paid, also the new squad and management team needed paying for … to counter there is and continues to be numerous lines of income has been/are coming in.

Gate receipts with good attendance numbers
season tickets
parking
Many sponsorships of everything players match balls mascots signage around GP etc etc
Club shop Merchandise
New directors “fees”
1899 / 100 club scheme
FnB sub contract contract
PLUS
anything else ive missed ??

Theres no way any fan can know how the finances work out and personally i dont give a fig about DH past all i care about is the survival and future of SUFC … unless a scunny mad fan wins the lotto or a buyer can be found i reckon without DH we are fooked.

[ironfromafar]

Any live HR commentary for todays game ?? im searching but not seeing owt…if anyone finds it please post the link

Thx in advance

[ironfromafar]

who really gives a shit about the FA cup with SUFC currently in the 6th tier and heading for oblivion.

Ticket sales appear to be pretty dire for the game today.

[ironfromafar]

in direct reply to the op … if DH walks i cant see anything other than the club folding… this is the only reason regardless of his past i hope he stays at least until a buyer comes along.

[ironfromafar]

Proper Herbert has made the Business Desk

Former Ilkeston chairman allegedly unable to sell Scunthorpe United

[ironfromafar]

Herbert did say on the FB page he was posting the convo with the risk of loosing his mate DH .. prob Hilts has told him to get it taken down.. LAUREL n HARDY stuff.

If it wasnt so serious its laughable

So all we have had is a third party conversation thrown up by proper Herbert on the farce book page, really is this how fans should be kept informed … very unprofessional.

SUFC has plummeted to even lower depths but alas i fear we are not at the lowest point yet ..

Jasper comments on another thread as to the future and it really does look like if DH walks it could well be the end of the club.

Right so the situation is quite simple if he decides to go the club is finished no money or buyer means no iron, I personally don’t give toss about what his past is I only know he has kept the club going thus far . I also believe he has also got by far the majority of fans behind him so I hope sincerely he ignores the keyboard warriors and continues. I might be in the minority on this sight but who cares!UTI

I agree though Not sure you are in a minority here …

all i care about is the football club surviving whoever is the owner be it DH or another.

no wonder the SUFC Fans group FB page gets slagged oof .. anything that goes against the grain however trivial is declined .. as my post below was.

please tell me what i wrote that was deemed it worthy of being declined .. WOFT

__________DH has my backing and i hope he stays to fight on or someone buys the club he saved a few months ago … but he should go through the proper channels to make a statement to fans ie the club website not here or twitter etc .. very unprofessional IMO_________

White Bear was at the bottom of the High St on the traffic lights … going from Epworth market place right took you to Belton left to Owsten Ferry

One of my old haunts Epworth .. The Tap wine bar , Red Lion , Queens Head and the pub on the corner near the old rectory forget its name landlord Bill (i think) ..had a couple of very pretty daughters…the Mowbray ??? rings a bell

Mr Botham resided there at that time too.

For all the rivalry like ive previously commented lots of quite fair and sensible posts re our plight on Fishy

[ironfromafar]

Sadly this is what SUFC has descended into thanks to Swan n Hilton…its life changing for some people.

[ironfromafar]

Alleged true , accurate or incorrect and pure guesswork who knows …. but from the early days of his Bru postings i have been of the mind that POSSIBLY IB is connected to Swan in some capacity.

I am so fed up with all the recent events basically since Swans reign and then DH took over.

I dont give a rats arse how its done but SUFC must survive for the sake of the town,the real fans for which it holds so many historical memories and for now plus future generations.

He obviously woulf seen things differently if the score had been 2-1 to Scunny … and not a mention of the Buxton players time wasting with then dropping like been shot by a sniper and even fresh legged subs getting cramp.

I hope the guy who was wiping tears away to Scunny fans is playing .. dick head.

Brackley don’t get big crowds and it’s a fair treck. Most that have the inclination are likely to wait and travel for the much more important league game 2 weeks later.

Also season ticket holders have to fork out £14-20 for an FA Cup qualifying game. Many won’t bother.

The negativity surrounding this weeks revelations certainly won’t help.

I think Cliff is probably a bit optimistic. I think we will be shy of 2000.

Going for a late Swann era attendance of 1900.

Looking at Brackley’s fairly small squad they don’t have much option to rest first teamers whilst Jimmy will be able to rest 8 or 9. He probably should as well given the limited opportunities to give them game time.

2-1 Brackley. We will reverse that scoreline with Scales joining the rest of the first team 2 weeks later – if we are still in business by then.

Good point re the attendance ..my prediction may have been a tad optimistic.

Im also predicting DH will chuck in the towel and resign Sunday after the FA game is over .. just a feeling ive got in my watter.

[ironfromafar]

With the club and ownership in its current state you gotta think it will effect things on the pitch

JD n Co are gonna have their work cut out to carry on the promising start with all the uncertainty hanging over the place.

wow very low attendance prediction CBRP

[ironfromafar]

ON recent events the current buzz around the club could all go tits up and lead to a dip in NLN form , uncertainty abounds for players n staff and teams now know how to set up against us.

At some point if DH walks (i hope he doesnt) im guessing you can not only kiss promotion goodbye but possibly the club as well.

Anything in the rumours DH is actively finding a buyer or just BS ?

I did leave this small tongue anal infringement out as it was so close to the book going to the photocopier shop ,,, i mean publisher and press .. sold one at todays launch ..to my daughter, ar well back to the grindstone ..this fame marlarkey isnt all its cracked up to be ..is it Siderite ??
Very sadly taking all recent events into account im predicting now for the record DH will have resigned by midnight this Sunday despite the adulation he will receive Saturday… will he show up at GP Saturday ??

Im sure ironeye and a couple of others will be bashing the bishop in great joy as our football club spirals out of control and into oblivion…. thats sad , very sad.

The fan base seems well n truly split, trust in DH is the biggest issue and im predicting he is looking at ways to get out wether by resiging or selling up. ..

im admitting to sitting on the fence as the only thing i give a rats arse about is the survival of SUFC ..

Pulled off fishy where the Scunny thread is red hot and in fairness lots of sensible comments by our black n white neighbors

Hey siderite how are you coping with the intense media Paparazzi activity ALA Harry n Megan since the Business Desk thrust fame upon us … i may have over estimated the number of biography photo copies i produced for todays launch as at the moment not sold one and only signed my autograph once to get into the hotel

Im guessing its down to the rainy season.
