Ive got a mate in Winterton whose gonna go n put a horses head in the fellas bed while hes at GP today .. must admit i did post a comment on the YT channel asking him to confirm his Wilson gaff.

The home shirt looks the muts nuts and the third strip is mighty dam good too shame its not the away n the black whit ensemble the third.

[ironfromafar]

The YT guy must ov got mixed up as thankfully still nowt anywhere re Cam Wilson going to Scarboro.

[ironfromafar]

TJO you are correct that is exactly what DH said before the Tamworth game ,,, but i think this thread is related to Swan v Apollo bookmakers ..not Swan v DH GP is mine slugfest which is the tread a couple of spaces under this one.

Good morning fellow Iron fans and lovers of football in its purist form.. if any Bru member has time before heading off to the Iron bar and enjoying a few pints and the new food (oh and the footy) please could some one post the link for HR live commentary as even though ive registered etc still getting issues yet when entering the site via a link its ok… strange.

Hoping for a good atmos and winning performance today and have a great day to all those attending.

nothing confirmed but why would Wilson be loaned out especially to a rival … if correct IMO after pre season and seemingly a first team player thats bollocks and a terrible decision

[ironfromafar]

2 mins into thie vid the fella says Can Wilson has gone out on loan to Scarboro … really ??? nowt on the official club website

[ironfromafar]

Just listened to JDs usual laid back preview for tomorrow and interesting to note the strong possibility more senior players going on loan elsewhere .. hes been pulled by players who want minutes .. i hope he means Pugh Rance DSF etc and not the likes of Kelly or Law.

I did notice he was constantly scratching either his leg or his gonads during the interview .. maybe he should go see the club doctor..

[ironfromafar]

Awayougo … such is your current toxicity maybe best you go in isolation in the away end tomorrow , top left corner near the scoreboard…. give us a wave

[ironfromafar]

so on the eve of our first home game of the NLN campaign here are my predictions.

Score 1-1 (both goals in the second half).
Att 2899 away 56
Iron scorer Elliot assist by new fella with long name
DH there wearing a Scunny home shirt
SG food well received
Mullets 50
Fans with covid 1

The list of negatives that come into play when a club tumbles down the football pyramid is a lengthy one .. compounded if it coincides with ownership turmoil and a lack of cash which it usually does IT CAN BE TERMINAL

The only bright spot at he moment is we seem to have a decent squad..so long as they are kept sweet n paid etc.

Im wondering where all the income has gone from ST, the numerous sponsorship deals , advertising , new directors , car parking, 1899 , shirt sales, etc etc must be a few boB ?? … towards new players, debts inc taxes , running costs perhaps.

Good news is no sign of the 2000 cap on GP attendance …yet

Hilton offered to sell something he didn’t own. Caveat Emptor.

No arguing with that statement

The likes of Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, Hull, Grimsby, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley are all likely to come fishing in our waters and open up development centres for their Academies.

All the clubs you mention are established FL clubs not a potless outfit languishing in the second tier of non league so yeas more than likely they will ..

Yep it’s a tough one but a necessary one and after years of complaining about overspending and putting the club in debt and not living within our means, we have people complaining about certain aspects of the culling process. That’s what this is a culling of practices we cannot afford in non league, hopefully as we progress back up the league structure certain practices will return but I have no problem in running as tight a ship as possible and being as viable as possible.

BANG ON ..

The barrows loan gig makes sense for the reasons stated previously and he is excellent defensive back up but behind Ogle n Kelly in the pecking order.. my only comment was feeling sympathetic due to his ties to the club as a youngern and he does seem like a real nice fella.. hope he returns full of wind n piss and gets a spot in the Iron first team later in the season.
Also i take it Barrows loan was tied to the black lad with the long name coming to Scunny as well.

Wendy n Jubber v DH

popcorn at the ready ..

Thought DH reply covered it .. yes its sad but in hindsight he should of gone with his first closure in Feb ..i take it Tony Daws bizz plan didnt work out…

Hes the owner and the tough decisions lay at his door , if the set up was as big of a disater as it seems pulling the plug is the best option.. as for paying off all concerned sounds like its in process so lets see how that goes before building gallows on the GP center circle .

welcome to Bru ironeyeinsider .. rather an abrupt first post on the day of your registration.
Shameful maybe ?? true or false possibly … alas who knows, but with all the rumours that are flying around this one can just remain in the inbox along with the 2000 GP restriction ready to be processed.

DH has replied

David White
Wendi Betts Rob Jubber here’s the facts.
The academy has 8 scholars that’s all, with 2 of them already left for Grimsby.
We have received NO funding since June.
The Academy staff have known for weeks i had closed it.
The academy setup and administration was nothing short of a disgrace. The academy had vastly overpaid staff (substantially higher salaries than EFL) but it did not even pass an EFL audit in order to retain some sort of funding.
The academy has left the club with a six figure debt.
The academy has not one sell on despite being funded by the EFL for years.
Many children left to go to other clubs over the years with the club benefiting nothing. Where is the loyalty that everybody seems to demand from the club.
People need to stop moaning, someone had to make the difficult decision and the football club will always be my priority. The academy was failing miserably.
I have said I will support a separately run community junior section using volunteers and parents like all none league clubs do. But rather than show any interest in that is all I hear about us money money money.
There was also very much a feeling of them and us within the academy and for whatever reason it never felt unified.
I will not apologise for my decision, my only regret is not sticking to my guns in February. If the remaining 6 are good enough they will find their path.
I’m respect if wages we are closing down the academy as we speak, calculating figures and Wendi you are on the list to contact as you are one of the three who I have a figure for but I suspect it is wrong as there will be further days up to the end of last week. But coming on here slating the club that’s paid you constantly extremely good money is a prime example of why my decision to close the academy is the right one.
All staff will be paid once we gave final figures across the board and can settle everything and move on. We have been working on this for several days

Many moons ago whilst living in a rural location i had a brain fart and bought two goats from a local farmer, it was firstly my intent to get an ostrich so it could go out on the moped to the pub with me but having heard how much they eat and how they can be violent after a few beers i decided on goats .. what an absolute disaster they ate through the fence scoffed all my flowers and veggies and even the clothes line and its contents .. suffice to say i gave them to the local village bobby who kept them in the grounds of the police station to keep the grass trimmed.

Just checked out the SG online menu and reviews n all seems very positive looks delicious..lets hope they cant serve for the whole season at least and it is well received by GP fans.

[ironfromafar]

Casting my dusty old mind back when DH took the helm i recall him commenting with regard to how the club was being ran and how over staffed it was at the same time he confirmed there would be the stream lining of staff numbers and obviously redundancies.
Tough business decisions to make and with the closing of the academy , relieving some others of their duties and just yesterday sub contracting out the FnB gig at GP it appears to be keeping to that in an attempt to make the club sustainable focusing on the football to get the club back up the leagues ASAP.

DH has my support in most departments alas not keen on his chosen SM route to keep fans updated when IMO this should be done in a more direct professional media manner via the clubs official website in the form of press releases and/or club statements “a message from the chairman” header… the club statement is widely used already for announcements and DH should use it for important news updates and to clear up rumours and confusion that blight the club at the moment.

This is head and shoulders the best topic being discussed on this forum right now. Best drink to go with curried goat, any takers 🤔

Booze is my business and yes our Belgian beers are by far our best sellers but not Hoegarden which for the Asean market is now brewed under license in Vietnam and not as good as the original.

With regard to a beer to go with the food discussed best option would be a good fresh crisp ice cold Blond ale or Pilsner lager such as Pilsner Urquell from (Chech Rep) which was the birth place of the pilsner lager in a small town called Pizen, also a few from Belgiium such as Pax Pils , Delirium Tremens, La Corne Blond and Kasteel Xtra all would go deliciously with the suggested cuisine.

Cannot comment on whats available and prices in the UK but guessing something like Carling or Hob Goblin Gold would be a more realistic option

Back to the catering at GP .. seems like a tender was in and excepted pretty dam quick so must be an element of confidence things will work out especially if a bond payment or retainer has been included and paid by the FnB suppliers.

Good luck to them and i hope it all goes well to enhance the match day experience for fans.

On another note …..looking at the training pics on the club website and the short vid on the FB page there seemed to be 2 or 3 faces missing and a couple i did not recognize at all ..Roberts , Law and Butterfield were the ones i noticed being absent ..at least when the photographer was there.

Less smiles also .. i hope all is well with the boys.

[ironfromafar]

As WGs rightly points out we must except after years of miss management just how far the club has fallen and it boils down to cutting the cloth accordingly ..

Not sure if there are any NLN or NL clubs with reserve teams , U18s or academies ?

[ironfromafar]

Bit late but as my old gran used to say ..better late than never ..

Tamworth managers view of last Saturdays game , lets hope the PS manager is singing from the same song sheet after this Saturday.

Apparently lots of fans haven’t received the shirts they ordered a while back. They’re either late or been recommissioned for claret and blue tents I reckon.

Indeed quite a few commenting on various media platforms as to the whereabouts of the missing apparel .. this is just crying out for another sanctioned proper Herberts post over on the SUFG page which for the time being im not being blocked from entering.

DESPERATELY NEEDED, people to wear a yellow hi-viz jacket on Saturday, minimum wage but free entry to the stadium, although most of the time you’ll be facing away from the play on the pitch.

What is the minimum hourly wage nowadays ?

How many hours on match days?

Can you stand side ways to watch the game out of one eye ?

Would you have to declare it therefore effecting any benefits ?

Any travel expenses paid , food and beverages included?

Any chance of being paid before you start in case of any miss understandings or banking delays.

For the most part and at time reluctantly i have remained positive to all our new owner has done to date but IMO DH going down this route to inform fans on any issue let alone one as serious as these is simply head shaking DM..totally unprofessional from a fella who professes to be and in all intense n purpose is a successful businessman …. the organ grinder always with an answer or explanation just obviously prefers using a chosen monkey to get it out there.

All this time a stony silence re updates via the club website (unless its selling something) and basing any thoughts on SM tit bits rumour and in some cases total bollocks must rile grass roots fans ..it does me.

[ironfromafar]

all a tad strange .. feel a bit of sympathy for Barrows with his ties to Scunny from an early age.
