Commentary was piss poor ..it seems every week there are “technical issues”

Re the footy .. Scunny dominated but too slow and sideways , no cutting edge to get in on goal and paid the price with a goal conceded from one of only two chances the home side created. We need to get used to teams playing a deep 5 4 1 against us and find a way to break them down.
As i commented earlier Clunan not playing would be a massive hit and so it turned out , yes we have players to cover but Pugh Shrimpton are not a Clunan. (missed Beestin as well).

Atrocious weather last 20 mins really played into Curzon hands no way the ref was gonna call it off ..maybe if it was 0-0 ,alas thats history and move on to Monday which is a quick turnaround so no time to dwell on today and hopefully 3 points in front of a bumper crowd and a great atmos.

Im not one for missing detail and watched the Danny Elliot post match interview and rather an amusing incident in the back ground as what looked like a red haired bride givin it rock all as same as for SUFC not all going swimmingly on the big day ???

disasterous day .. sounded like a bad performance against a team who played 5 at the back and nicked a goal on the break..Could of been called off second half due to waterlogged pitch alas wasnt.

Even the commentary kept dropping out and diverting to Hull rugby .. what a load of bollocks.

Agree .. but i dont wanna get into a trans gender argument like Piers Morgan , lets just say due to biology men can perform some tasks better than women whilst women are way better at some other things like ironing, cleaning and even have some attributes that can and quite often do turn men crazy to the point they loose all control ……….of their credit card.

I really like women they are smashing creatures , i have one myself and shes quite lovely and makes a cracking apple crumble.

IMO … the current Scunny side would beat the England womens team comfortably.

[ironfromafar]

I was talked into watching 2 games at the recent WWC and to be honest both were crap.. enjoyed the banter beer n burger and it helped being in Hooters so there were plenty of vest wearing distractions of the shapely and top wobbly variety (can i say that) but as far as womens football goes IMO is total gash

[ironfromafar]

Final prediction

Clunan to be missing
Score draw 2-2
Att 956
2 pens in the game , 1 scored 1 missed

Dont care who scores but twood be nice for Danny Elliot to get off the mark.

[ironfromafar]

I think we will miss Clunan massively if is is not passed fit and involved today … must be a real doubt if the scan was only being done yesterday.

[ironfromafar]

Totally agree all the creditors should be sorted out it seems DH covered this in his recent chat with SST..BELOW

Its a case of if an individual wishes to believe his comments or not … being a cup half full person i do …others like IB may choose not to for their own reasons and intent to damage DH at every opportunity.

***
CCJs
Acquired lots of debt with purchase of SUFC. There are potentially five CCJs ranging from roughly £350, to the largest which was made public yesterday. DH currently working to authenticate all bills. Unfortunately some have been not received and therefore missed, they will be authenticated paid and set aside as many have over the past few months. He reiterated he had inherited over 600 debts with the football club and threats of court action and indeed action are a daily occurrence whilst debts are authenticated and contracts reviewed. The total level of debt is now reduced since January by nearly 80% and he is working through debts as quickly as possible to clear the remaining.

I have no axe to grind with IB or any other Bru member wishing to highlight possible indiscretions re the owner or club as they see fit but i do feel IBs guise of trying to warn and protect Scunny fans has worn thin and its so obvious he and possibly a couple of others have serious issues with DH for what ever reason… we are all grown ups and can each make our own minds up as to how we see the current and involving situation do we really need to be drip fed all these gory details as it wont help one bit.
One fundamental difference between IB and i would hope the rest of the Bru membership is simply the affiliation with the town and its football club. I joined Bru purely for my love of SUFC, a club i have been supporting since my mid teens and even now fast approaching 60 i shall remain ironfromafar til the day i croak it… waiting to see how things pan out and then planning a trip home to take in as many games as possible

Pleased to read that the DH and the new club safety officer have sorted the attendance cap with SAG .. i thought the original capacity was 9088 it appears to be 9147 now ??

Seems what DH commented on re the attendance cap being lifted has actually come to fruition and GP is back to its capacity..details below.

Ive given up trying to fathom out how this dual thing works but getting MOTM on yer debut bodes well should he ever pull on a Scunny first team shirt.

I like the LOAN WATCH updates on the club website and it seems Barrows Robertson and Poulter all doing very well.

If DH was to …..

Buy GP in cash tomorrow
Clear all the debts
Put together a team that goes unbeaten all season n gets promoted.
Build a new stadium
Achieve promotion from NL n back in the EFL proper and then do a Luton Town

IB (and a few others less obsessed) would still be on this destruction of DH mission as thats all hes interested in .. if DH had bought another club it would be those fans having to be bombarded with any negativity IB can dig up, he doesnt give a shit about any football club only one man and the character assassination / elimination of that man.

DH says nothing and gets abuse
DH gives an interview to update fans on issues and gets abuse in the shallow form of “wheres the proof”
On DH … personally from the outset ive been in the skeptical camp and still are but intend to give the fella a chance and not try to peg him at every opportunity, my only concern is Scunthorpe still having a football club and their own ground to play it in… next Tuesday hopefully the GP clouds of despair and confusion will be some what cleared.

As a footnote .. the new ground in the timescale mentioned in DH comments is folly and would go down as a miracle of biblical proportions if its anywhere near .. i would say POSSIBLY 26/27 season at absolute best .. i hope im wrong.

So are you on the Southend forum posting about their owner or not Andy, straightforward enough question, it’s either yes or no?, don’t be shy now you aren’t usually.

Of course he is’t on there, because he’s not intrested in Southend, nor is he intrested in Scunthorpe United, his instrest lies with Hilton and anyone that has shown him support rather than chase him from the club. (This isn’t me saying I support Hilton, like every fan on this forum I’m very wary of him. Just calling out IB for what he really is)

And there folks we have it in a nutshell…

[ironfromafar]

Thanks SST .. much appreciated , totally agree this kind of openness re updates is what is needed (suppose twas too much to ask his thoughts re next Tuesdays court case).

Im sure there will be some responding negatively deriding DHs comments in your post as it seems hes dammed if he does n dammed if he doesnt.

Come next Tuesday and the worst outcome is realized none of this especially a few ccjs wont even matter …
Basic economics in keeping the club going financially if ground sharing is the way it goes will kill the club…… it will as my old gran used to say – be a clusterfook.

Seasons ticket chaos
GP advertising / sponsors wanting refunds
Where ever we do a deal to play can anyone expect more than 1000 fans to turn up
Lost revenue from every stream FNB to sponsors
How will staff , players be paid , the team may just fall apart.

The happy clappers will be in despair whilst a handful of DH and SUFC detractors will have their I TOLD YOU SO moment after which the town will have lost its football club… until the new stadium dream happens which lets be honest is just a fart in the wind at the moment.

Arrr thats my why quote of your post was also deleted … was scratching my bonce as to why it had gone.

[ironfromafar]

The more i think about the Curzon fixture the more im happy with my score draw prediction.

To add must say Scunny have to avoid defeat to keep the positive run going thus no negatives going forward… so IMO a draw is an acceptable result this Saturday , but a win would be cream on top regardless of how ugly the cake is.

Got to fancy us to beat Scarboro at home on BHM then comes the real first banana skin away at Alfreton , a very big, organized physical side and possibly with a deflated performance if things go badly in court.

[ironfromafar]

sorry Biron we posted at precisely the same time .. i shall try to delete my thread

[ironfromafar]

2-2 is my early prediction

Any news on Clunan ?? integral part of this team.

A bit more from mystic Meg … after beating Scarbourgh on BH Monday the Iron to come unstuck against Alfreton away ..

I see Scunthorpe’s top lad on the clappers page has picked up on this and is claiming he’s going to Leeds to report live on the case.
2 things.
Firstly, reporting live on a county court case will see him locked up for contempt.
Secondly, the case is being heard in chambers and there’s no public access.

Thats maybe a good thing as Scunnys leading bovver boy n his minions rocking up at the court house could derail a DH win …

If i were a betting man i would swing the side of a Swan win or probably be adjourned , better still even a last gasp agreement between PS/DH so we can draw a line under the GP festering carbuncle that could totally destroy a great start to the season and quite possibly force the club out of business.

[ironfromafar]

Obviously i would assist knowing to what part of the business the debt is tied to see when any order was placed ans invoice created,regardless its down to DH to settle it even if Swan started the ball rolling

is it office equipment? , a new lawn mower? FnB supplies ? who knows ?

Fully get SNOTs predicament so its a case of wait n see then …

Taking over a business isnt easy and tiz my personal experience doing so that thers always a chance of a small prior debt or CCJ that can slip through the contractual net… even whilst not a not a huge amount it is very annoying but alas best just to bite the on the stick and take one for the boys n pay up.

With all due respect this is absolutely rocking horse muck.

The supplier will have originally sent an invoice to the club with payment terms of say 30 or 60 days. Following that invoice being sent and at the end of every month until payment is received, a statement of account will have been sent to the club. As payment has clearly not been received, the supplier will have then sent the club a 7-day notice of legal proceedings. After submitting the claim to the court, the court then writes to the defendant (the club) giving them notice of the claim and an opportunity to file a defence within 14 days of the date of service.

To suggest this matter has slipped through the net demonstrates a total lack of understanding on your part.

Ever the expert IB … alas i suppose in what part of the world one is doing business in with relation to that countries laws.

This is Swan v Hilton ..who knows what may have been forgotten shelved or hidden either accidently 5555 or on purpose.

Just a few more scraps for you to feed off IB .. btw great start to the season dont you think ?

Do you know the judge ? or just hoping his verdict goes against DH ? .. i have no axe to grind with you ironeye but either way its a sad state of affairs if you are a fan that you seem so gleeful at such an outcome just to satisfy your hatred of DH at the expense of SUFC.

Totally agree all so depressing after such a great start to the season on all fronts but like him or not without DH there would already be no football club in Scunny.

[ironfromafar]

I have always thought the Evening Telegraph has been crap having chosen to ignore SUFC ..hey ho life goes on.
Re non league footy … IMO the interest and standard has improved massively across the whole footballing spectrum from EPL down to NPL .. the National league is catching up to L2 and really should be renamed L3 with the NLN/NLS combined to form the highest non league level as is National league now.. also changes to the daft promotion system would surely create more of a buzz.

Be interesting to see if Scunny do remain high in the NLN if the SGET will start to show more interest until then i suggest all its good for is swotting flies wrapping fish n chips and wiping yer arse on.

[ironfromafar]

IMO
Sounded like a strange game and the 3-0 scoreline surely flatters the Iron as RO had clear cut chances and Fitz came to the rescue on a few occasions.
Ref missed a few things including the obvious red card when Beestin was clear through on goal and booking Whitehall for kicking the ball away when it was still in play , less than perfect refs some thing to get used to at this level.
3 pts is 3 pts however they come and Scunny toppa the league is great to see.
Again great traveling support very vocal all way through the game just a shame some of the RO stewards appear to have been over zealous.
Looking forward to seeing the highlights especially the Whitehall Denton goals and the Ironarmy vlog later today.

All in all a very positive day the only down side was the Clunan injury and possibly Beestin with a knock ?? , really hope thats nowt serious but he does have a week to recover till Curzon away. I aint no expert but do these plastic 3G pitches cause more injuries ??

Still the depressing GP cloud lurking but for now other than that its not too bad being an Iron fan and that is something we have not been able to say for a long long time.

I managed to get the commentary link sorted via BBC app once i got round my click sending me to the Squad Goals programme ..
Commentator was ok …just ok .. but allowing for technical issues he was facing and by the sound of it picking up all the surrounding chit chat must of been off putting , you clearly hear JD and RO officials discussing various match day issues during the commentary ..Russ Wilcox is way better than Mr Cox.

Just happy to be able to listen.

[ironfromafar]

Agree .. the RO fella missed a sitter also Beestin brought down through on goal .. no red card ..ref dropped a clanger there , hope it doesnt come back to cost us..

You raise a good point Rich … surely looking at the experience and business backgrounds of the incoming directors one would of thought as being given assurances prior to signing up they would have done due diligence as well.. if it does go tits up there would be a considerable amount of egg on faces.
