Anyway .. Clunan is captain , great choice JD.

I heard about a potential capacity cap earlier in the week, but it was initially rubbished by my source. I understand the club have since been notified that several issues must be rectified

Righteeho .. thanks for that SST .. now any idea as the the nature and severity of the issues that need rectifying ?? .. are they structural , human resources / lack of stewards?

IMO bad form if the club cannot at least keep fans updated with such serious goings on.

Ive got a nasty feeling this is gonna be a grim day in the history of our beloved SUFC .. my PC is logged in and grab is the order of the day for my food n beer which is just as well cos its been pissing it down solid for 3 days.

My point is snot, that the club should be pre-empting important news like this being leaked, circulated amongst a handful of fans and get ahead of the game. Avert potential PR disasters.

Agreed very unprofessional by SUFC whom seem to prefer festering rumours to cards on the table so fans know whats going on.

[ironfromafar]

What about the tickets pre sold for Peterboro at home … ST holders plus sales over 2k already ??

[ironfromafar]

Obviously at the moment this doesnt effect me but I would very much hope the club will make any necessary announcements promptly and keep fans updated with regard to serious developments like the ones you mention.

I know you’re in a different time zone but you should stay up today and keep an eye out for the news to come out from the club.
One thing that is common knowledge now is that the S.A.G.have slapped a 2000 capacity cap on GP for the coming season, although that won’t matter as we no longer have any stewards.

Ok thanks .. im actually living n working out of my office as i do this time of year and have my PC logged in most of the time so will follow events.

When will shit end .. being in limbo and all this uncertainty is very depressing wouldnt it be great to just have a “normal” situation at the club where its the football that makes all the headlines.

Thanks again snot .

[ironfromafar]

SNOT this throwing of tit bits isnt helping …. if you are able to confirm anything please enlighten us to the exact detail surrounding the previous post … have you received solid info re moving out of GP ? to Gainsboro ? .. all very ominous and potentially a disaster which no doubt will destroy the fan base and any real optimism for the coming season.

worrying times.

Wasn’t Richgy saying on another thread a few weeks back that the cods had done some decent recruitment this summer and were looking to build on last season’s reasonable league return position this time around? If so maybe the Scunny/ Cods double wouldn’t be so clever after all, unless you go for double promotions.

The Cods have signed a few decent players but had a pretty mediocre pre season .. compounded by quite a few injuries to key players… take away the fact they are Scunnys biggest rival n purely on a footballing basis i would rather put money on them to go down than up.

Big parties in Codsville tonight as the new roof is finished on BP shed even though the roofers got “battered” by the summer rain.

[ironfromafar]

Bearing in mind DH held circa 98% of the draw tickets image the uproar announcing he had won every prize..

I do agree though the people that bought a share should have been informed re any draw result or delay as SST suggested may be the case.

[ironfromafar]

Heres a good double .. dunno what the odds would be ???

Scunny promoted
Codheads relegated

Back together again .. how sweet !!!

SST wrote:

I wouldn’t be lumping on at those odds. Too much going on that could derail the season IMO

Very sensible advice SST.. im finding the bookies odds on SUFC a tad strange bearing in mind the current limbo the club is in .. so many permutations that could change things massively…plus there are some very decent teams in NLN that should not be taken lightly.

[ironfromafar]

I didnt get an email ,did you not get an email LMI ?? .. if like me you didnt buy a share how do you know that anyone that did has not received such an email?

i was just being naughty DM …. im sure if the salaries have NOT been paid this news would have filtered out by now , saying that he titbit re Ogle actually really really wanting to go to Oldham has been kept well hidden hasnt it.

BTW your 0-0 for Tamworth wont be far off

[ironfromafar]

Holding 1843 of the 1899 tickets that was always on the cards…i hope he spends his winnings wisely maybe some new bog seats in the DRE??…or pay some salaries even.

Is it players and office staff or just office staff who haven’t received payment?
Not much of an incentive for players to pull up any trees on Saturday if the wonga isn’t in their accounts.

Absolutely agree with that AA if the players not paid expect a lethargic performance.. plenty of player smiles on the training pitch images being added to the club website , of course they could have been taken in July.

Surely DH isnt that daft to have not paid the players .. cash from friendlies in pocket and presumably funds from the new directors let alone ST sales , Kit/merc sales , car parking , and the numerous sponsorship deals that appear to have been done etc etc… surely not another admin hiccup or oversight ?

Bad form old chap if Insiders claim is true.

There’s no doubting those odds. Tamworth will get put to the sword and HMS piss the league will be well and truly in it’s stride.

I do have a good feeling this season with the squad that’s been put together. This is one of those seasons in quite a long time when you can go down the list of players and not pick out one which is deadweight/making up the numbers.

Still think we’re a striker short but other than that we’re pretty much spot on.

Nice to see you back , hope you had a nice holiday,anywhere nice ?? , in some ways i do share your optimism and agree the squad assembled does have quality in depth … alas with the many unknown teams involved including not to be underestimated Tamworth this ” HMS piss the league” may be harder to achieve than you are predicting ..hope im wrong and we win at a cantor this Saturday .. after my cock on Burton score prediction accuracy seems the super computer is following my earlier 1-1 prediction.

IB Its a forum, Im a member down to my love for SUFC since circa 1980 no other motives or reason required , i read your posts because unfortunately they are still appearing in the football section of the site.
Members read follow threads and reply , debate agree or otherwise , i am not interested in you.
Your pompous attitude and wash rinse repeat attacks are lingering like a stale fart in a taxi and constantly posting digs at DH when ever you are thrown some scraps is all very toxic and doing little to help the situation for real fans.

Here are a couple of questions.

Why the obsession with destroying DH ?
The job is clearly taking up so much of your time that somewhere in the past you have had serious issues with him… when you first came on the scene it was as a bystander to inform and warn fans of our new owners alleged past miss givings …its pretty obvious there is more to your hatred of DH than purely wanting to save SUFC and its fan base from him.. SO WHAT IS IT ??

An easy YES or No next

If you are successful in your crusade to owst DH and plunge the club into god knows where will you be happy ?

Wanting DH to fail is the same as wanting to destroy the club .. a club you admit you have no affiliation to thus have zero feelings for.

Do you intend on following DH around for ever ? until your job is done.

out of interest how much are they paying for the privilege , are they buying shares , why are they not on companies house and if it goes Pete tong are they in any way liable or is that solely mr david ?

Good questions but i dont reckon fans will ever get to know such info .. possibly a non disclosure clause in the gig is my guess.

[ironfromafar]

Thought i would bring this thread back to the first page being as we are only a 3 days away from the big KO .

It seems the Ogle mullet wig will be the apparel of choice for Tamworth and the coming season… unless of course some some of the oldtimers kept their mullets from younger years as lots of flowing locks n perms a plenty when i wor a lad !!

Prediction time ..
Hope the weather is kind
Line up 442
Fitz
Ogle,Kouogun,Evans,Kelly
Law Scales Clunan Wilson
Elliot Whitehall

Att 2,899 ( 30+ mullet wigs)
Score
Heart 4-0 to Scunny
Head 1-1

[ironfromafar]

Congratulations and welcome Tahina , im sure your professional experience will utilized to the full in the coming months.

I noticed on the club website the club is also advertising for a Financial administrator (no comment) and a head chef, just being nosy i opened the link for the chef job description and who ever takes that baby on will be a very busy Scunny Bunny.

[ironfromafar]

IB your last line … “doing my work for me ” ..so to you in your words this crusade against DH is a job ????.. i thought you were just a bystander.

You are giving Pat grief for coming on SM and being a DH cheerleader whilst not being a Scunny fan yet you feel its ok for you to engage on Bru and elsewhere all be it as you profess only as an interested bystander and not a Scunny fan to spread negativity bordering on a real hatred of DH with the sole purpose to damage him for exact reasons you still need to openly confirm.

BTW ..Your regular use of the term “people like you” needs to be reigned in as using it gives the impression of being a pompous know all.

IMO not speaking for anyone else but i am finding your constant attacks very tedious now ,the information you offer may be true or false accurate or not but just what do you expect them achieve what is your end goal ??

As as a life long Scunny fan i know whatever happens in the future will happen and there is very little any grass roots supporters can do to change it .. your constant DH vitriol has only one aim which if does happen will allow you to puff out yer chest and say i told you so … alas where will that leave the club and the fans that love it so much..of which you are not one.

This is a football fan forum and should not be used as political platform to gratify ones obsessions.

Well said. It’s boring and tedious.

If you need to throw insults about because you haven’t got any evidence to challenge a different opinion then you have lost the debate.

As for Iron Insider, far be it for me to fight his battles but he was on the money regarding the payments (or lack of) to the pension provider (as Hilton confirmed) and the situation regarding GP.

Never one to miss a chance of a quick DH dig ey IB .. i have a hunch you are in cass’ anti 4% category

[ironfromafar]

sorry to remain off topic again as im guessing Hendo hasnt been in any of the following places but …

Indeed theres a blast from the past Frod rd .. loved it going down as far as Honest Lawyer , Blue Bell then the Brit .. all those Indian restaurants and my favourite location was Wilsons Chippy , there was many moons ago the Polish Club on the corner at Ferry rd end.

Cant recall the name of the bar more or less opposite the Brit next to Brit corner public bogs .. a Greek fella had it i think ??…oh and Berkley bar,Pickwicks ,Taverin in Town, Garbos Henrys Cocked Hat while reminiscing… my pub of choice after a shift was The Queens on Rowland Rd.

Out of that lot how many are still open , my daughter said loads of pubs closed in Scunny.

[ironfromafar]

we will know more come this Saturday .. to be fairer lets say by the end of August after 2 away and 2 home fixtures it should be clearer how the season may pan out .. top middle of bottom.

IMO a bit daft for some to have firstly called JD a pub league coach and now it seems for others hes a managerial genius just cos of a decent pre season…

hes being given his chance so lets see how it goes.

I remain optimistic.

Word is, Iron Insider is correct to have started this thread.

Sounds ominous SNOT … hope all the staff are paid on time …today

Whilst i am trying to remain positive at all times i did read this interesting comment posted on another site..i copied n pasted it below , question does it hold any water ??
*****************************
It is an interesting one. Other clubs in NLN may not see this as a level playing field as SUFC are effectively squatters. Would they have been able to assemble that squad if the stadium had been purchased at the price agreed. Of course they wouldn’t. The club are nominally insolvent, but Hilton is able to underwrite the debts because he hasn’t had to cough up £3 million for the stadium and land. Could other clubs cry foul as they have avoided administration and a points deduction only by becoming a squatter on someone else’s land?

No matter how much of a cVnt Swann is, and he’s complete one, he is still entitled to be paid for the land and stadium. Even if those assets hadn’t been transferred away from the club ownership, he would have still wanted paying for them as part of the deal to sell the club.

*******************************

I would point out also on the same platform one guy reckons Jimmy Dean is an icecream man, a comment i found strange as surely JD couldnt find the time to juggle that along with taking the Iron to promotion… i am partial to a Mr Whippy 99 though
