And would you be pleased if that happens ??

All be it i am living overseas i class myself as a true Scunny fan and have been since 1980, the sole reason i joined Bru was to interact with other loyal fans and keep a connection to the club , i dont have another club and i dont even check PL scores they mean nothing to me …i have one club and cant imagine then ceasing to exist, you seem to except the prospect of the club going out of business with some sort of glee if it means the demise of DH which is a real shame if you are an SUFC fan at all.

sufc will be out on their arse by lunch time on 29th, hillton knows this , will he even turn up to face mrswann ? i doubt it …

Do you have an insider link for this ??

I must admit being really concerned ….. as great as things are on the pitch with positive results , free flowing football, good attendances ,happy fans and even the catering appearing to be much improved its such a shame this GP is hanging over the club which in effect could derail everything with one quick swipe of a judges pen.

Should be a good day out for our fans, it might not be as easy as some are thinking, but we should come away with the three points. I am just hoping that the fans act in a responsible manner.

Managed to get into the SUFCFG fb group and potted this ROFC dos n donts and general info page re anyone traveling to the game tomorrow

https://www.rofc.co.uk/news/pics-statement–looking-ahead-to-saturday's-game-against-scunthorpe-united

[ironfromafar]

Just watched the ROFC v Farsley game highlights and a few things i noticed.

Capacity circa 1900 … Strange ground small covered stands dotted about and just a fence at one end no sloping terrace. Away end covered area is directly behind the goal but get there early as its tiny.

Pitch ..another plastic 3g but looks way better than the one at Tamworth.

RO players looked shattered second half as commented being full time n fitness levels will be an advantage for Scunny … i did not spot a fat bloke playing as Tamworth had Donelly but dare i say at times even looked like a pub team who had all been on the piss the evening before.

Midfield was real a real dog fight n scrappy not a lot of fluid football.

There will be penaltie(s) in this game .. couple of RO players like the dive in the box so sticking with my 3-1 Scunny win with the RO goal is spot kick.

I will be very surprised if Scunny dont win this one ..

I believe rather strangely for an away fan to to as such but Ironarmy Gareth is sponsoring the match ball at Rushall .. be interesting to see his match day vid to see how it goes.

Hopefully be great to sell out away again but looking unlikely.

As for early predictions ..

Score 3-1 to Scunny
Att 1899

BTW im on a roll as along with my little treat i won the lottery yesterday … alas it was for 2 numbers 44 quid sadly not millions so cant buy SUFC just yet ,its 2 quid a ticket, winnings enough to buy a new Scunny shirt maybe ???

I just watched the lomg version of the game 11+ minutes Darlo FC YT vid with a lot more action than than the goals.. gives an honest reflection on the game and some nice things said by the visiting Darloites.

Heavy leggedness was mentioned a lot by Coxy on Humberside IFA. Along with the importance of not sitting back and getting at em. Oh the irony Neil….

you have cheered me up a tad DM .. just being informed Cox was on commentary duty again eased my depression at missing the game.. and yes when he was gaffa he constantly pressed on the players to attack and not sit back , didnt he ??? nice bloke but could talk a glass eye to sleep.

Awaywego I had quite a good excuse for missing even listening to the game ..a mate here is in real estate n when he bags a good sale takes us all out on the lash, free flow piss,champers a slap up feed followed by soapy massage “hotel” ..henceforth i went missing in action the 2 days over the Darlo fixture.

i dont missing every game if we win 4-0 every time.

‘WGs .. still not sold on your HMS piss the league but that performance hasnt done it any harm’

I am more than I was. Bottom line is its full timers v part timers every match and that’s a huge advantage. Particularly evening matches and as the season progresses. Our players should always be fitter and sharper than whoever they’re playing, especially when other teams are flagging and hitting walls after Christmas period

Good point DM .. as also commented on Ironarmy that Darlo players looked heavy legged second half ..oh and grassgate was put to bed , GP pitch had been trimmed since the PS game.

just catching up with the last 2 days worth of Iron action and on the pitch it seems things are improving at a pace … great performance and result v Darlo .. well done to all who attended to make it such a good atmos.

I much prefer logging in after a great result ..just got to avoid those anti DH legal topic surreptitiously placed to quell the fan buzz after such a fantastic evening and result

WGs .. still not sold on your HMS piss the league but that performance hasnt done it any harm

As i previously posted i think a separate thread or sub section on Bru entitled Legal issues or similar to keep topics like this from derailing the football chat… yes i know you dont have to click on it but when mingled in with the football threads its all to easy to fine oneself reading it and replying as i am doing now.

ironeye refering to ironinsider and for ever bystanding IB feeding off bottom of the barrel scraps to discredit DH at every chance.

I got locked in a brothel for 2 days and seems like i missed a cracking performance v Darlo.

[ironfromafar]

NI after my pin point precision Peterboro prediction i will try not be a smart arse AGAIN and gonna go for a really daft score prediction that is hopefully miles off.

Final Score 3-3 (HT 2-0 plus a last minute injury time equalizer)
Att 2899 (away 299)
2 red cards
Shorter grass
DH wearing third kit shirt
JD gets grief from fans
Loaded fries a big hit
Fans with covid 0

Agree Whitehall should in in the starting line up

The modus operandi will be to take it to the eleventh hour and then ask Swann for a sweetener to leave.

Indeed IB that was another scenario i had thought of but if DH wants out (for health n Family reason) would a Swan sweetner of any kind swing him to stay .. DH getting GP sorted would make the club a in a way better place for selling.

I have noticed DH did look a very unhappy soul at the pre season fixtures and at Tamworth .. forced smiles for photos etc.

Fear not i bought 4 lotto tickets for the mid month draw on 16th so pray for me.

Reading that ironfromafar, two things, 1st, anything that Herbert says should be taken with a pinch of salt, 2nd, Hilton is almost certainly looking for a way out.
My own thoughts on the upcoming court case, I think that the case will be unopposed and Swann will get an eviction order.
Unfortunately that will leave with nowhere to play as Hilton will have gone.
Was it ever going to end any other way?
I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

Yep i fear the same outcome snot .. there are of course other alternative scenarios but if i were a betting man it would be on Swan winning and devastatingly the club served with an eviction order.
With regard to any person wishing to remove themselves from a job or situation… when someone starts to drop in comments on ones health deteriorating and negative pressures on family it does in many cases possibly preempt some sort resignation or termination…IMO aloss in the upcoming court case may be the straw that breaks the camels back.

I too hope im wrong.

[ironfromafar]

Lurking in the darkest recesses of my mind i have a prediction … connected to the up and coming Coolsilk v DH sufc court case or not and reading some comments im of the mind Mr Hilton will find away to walk away .. whether selling the club or simply cut n run after hearing (true or not) the owner isnt going on a family holiday to SUFC commitments and in his own words all be it via his rent boy Sherbert i do feel he is now seriously looking for a way out.

Heres apiece i pulled off the fans group..I point out this is this Sherbert guy replying to a fan in the group.

*** it’s messing with his health and his family pick up on stuff.
I’m reading back over tonight’s conversation with him and it’s breaking me reading “I have hated every day of my life since taking over. Everyday fighting someone or something” … That’s not how a guy should feel after saving our club. The shocking thing is it’s a minority of our fans doing this. He escaped from Bury when they turned on him and I bet he wishes he’d never taken on us. It’s not like all the moaning is about anything too serious or important either.
I don’t know of any accusations complaint or gripe that he hasn’t resolved or explained when asked and every fan or parent who has been lucky enough to meet him has had high praise for him.***

WOW very sad , if DH feels that negative regretful and depressed to extent its effecting his health and family life will he walk ????

WOULD YOU ???

Does appear that Hilton as left that site again.

I bet he has!

As I said earlier, his behaviour is starting to attract attention. Different geographical area, different group of authorities, same old Dave.

Ay actually agree with IB on this maybe best idea hes left , just seems his style of expressing himself on this platform however strong his opinion on the issues is a tad ott and thus so will attract attention. To be fair to DH warranted or not is does seem to be getting loads of shit on SM and not easy some times to bite yer lip and say nowt.

A nice soothing early morning interlude now .. a song my missus can and does get up to sing excellently quite often when we are out and about and i much prefer this version to the Ronan Keating gob full of custard version….enjoy (including you DH)

How interesting to hear Coxey and the commentator(?) having a good old chat although somewhat repetitive. Very kind of them to fit in 30 minutes of commentary in between.

Indeed cass exactly my point re the HR commentary , Jackson n Cox were waffling on about all sorts of crap and then every now n then ..oh hang on we are here to commentate on the game.
Im just pleased i can listen but really hope HR can get the usual guy back, Tamworth was excellent with Russ Wilcox joining the excellent HR fella (forget his name).

What worries me is that the first two games of the season have been against a team who in their first season at this level last season finished 14th and a team that was newly promoted.
What will happen when we come up against the ‘stronger’ & ‘better’ teams in this league?

Yes i was thinking much the same (though i noticed Tamworth won 4-1 away this week)
A fortunate away win on the first match day followed by only a draw (against a poor side) this after dominating and crating numerous chances to win at a cantor PS must be one of the mid to lower mid table outfits in PS doesnt and this doenst bode well for us when facing some of the more higher rated teams where terrible finishing and or having an off day will cost us deary and end in a defeat.

Even at this early stage its pretty obvious that this notion of pissing the league is folly.

This is a post from Hilton’s new best friend and public spokesman on the clappers group forum.

“ Where the hell do Humberside Police get their intelligence from.
There was never ever going to be trouble today, welcoming Jimmy Deans former club to Glanford Park.
Peterborough’s attendance at home was half what we took away last week, so they were never going to bring many, but the police decided to put the fear of god in them anyway.
All the police presence today is a waste of manpower and if I was the club I’d not be paying no police bill.
Talk about getting paid for doing naff all.
Oh and the SAG officer can suck my left one too….. lot more than 2500 here you jobsworth”

That’ll go down well with the powers that be!

Yes this Sherbert rough neck does seem rather uncouth … surely the only thing that should be sucked is ………a Werthers original.

[ironfromafar]

Just opinion , HR commentators yesterday were crap , fella called Jackson joined by Niel “be brave” Cox .. only a Sunday hangover grumble and at least i can listen to the games so thats a bonus.

[ironfromafar]

re yesterday .. a few thoughts

Not a bad performance , should ov won by 2 or 3 but that didnt transpire..

Great goal by Butters who is head n shoulders above this level.

One thing is evident .. the team needs a proper striker who can finish , a terrier goal poacher in the style of Sharp, Hooper.

Pics of the food looks very nice n decent comments ..im sure that will improve in time.

anyway on to Darlo who are played 2 lost 2.. its only a couple of days away so get yer shooting boots on guys.

It is same stadium as the championship days so that factor remains the same. I guess the attendance is going to be about half of the championship, so that has altered. But there was more policing in and around the ground which probably affected the number of stewards required. The safety is probably as much about evacuation speeds as stewarding of opposing fans. Is 50 people on minimum wage for 6 hours every fortnight financially crippling ?

I can see DHs point re the regs on stewards being some what dated especially with the lower numbers of away fans that will be attending this season ..

Chuck in a few cup games and stewarding costs must be circa 70-80k per season give or take a steward or two.

Just had a look at the digital match day programme and looks good … i do have a question and im sure some Bru football mastermind will know.. in the event a player is loaned out for the season or sold what happens to the kit sponsorship money as i noticed the 3 players who have gone elsewhere to play all be it on shorter loan time frames to start all had a full compliment of kit sponsors.
