IF Callum Roberts stays fit,he will give us some special moments this season.

fingers crossed he stays fit and can play regularly ..

IMO seems most of the new signings have impressed all be it one or two not seen much of yet .. stand out newbie for me is Clunan .. could well be club captain as well.

Looked like a miserable day weather wise pissing it down, i caught clips via Donny website.

Attendance ?

[ironfromafar]

This fella must of been on the ball with his YTvid upload .. seems very positive re the game , performance intimating Scunny the better side.

** another mention of crap food /service sacre bleu a frozen sausage roll . obviously reading all the cuisine related comments this morning its something that needs to be addressed to maximize match day income… best pie for me was the Hollands meat n potato i sometimes chucked some mushy peas on.

1-49 in a 26 man squad? 🤔

Obviously i was not meaning there were 49 players rather the squad numbers were from 1 to a highest number of 49… why they are not 1 to 26 needs to be clarified by a more qualified party than myself.

[ironfromafar]

Purely in my mind so could well be flawed but going by the new signings squad numbers are these in more in JD plans as his starting 11 as others or will we see constant rotation.. a settled first 11 must be the better option.

Fitz Number 1 first choice keeper ??
Kelly taken number 3
Evans 4
Kouogan 5
Clunan 7
Roberts 10

Elliot over Whitehall ????

Chuck in Wilson , Ogle and its a dam tasty side with plenty of cover.

Now whose gonna be the regular club captain .. im going for Evans

[ironfromafar]

Following on from the release of the squad numbers came an interview with JD

pre season Dunston v Gateshead match abandoned …WTF is all this about some one drives a hearse onto the pitch and leaves it.

Hope we dont see any Swan supporters or IB protesting at GP in a similar manner

VID VIA IRONARMY

[ironfromafar]

We may see heavily armed militia on the GP main gates and patrolling the ransom strip as the dispute between the gambling ego PS v Uturn loophole DH intensifies… alas im guessing stand closures for pre season are of a fiscal nature to just save some doe.

Be nice to hear if any work has been done at GP pre season ,cleaning and a few new sponsorship signs etc maybe the old scoreboard been removed ??

It must’ve took all of 2 minutes with an etch o sketch.
Marvellous Mr Loophole, marvellous.

Even tho as suggested its a crap artist impression be nice to see it and dream ..im get blocked entry on that FB page.
Cant believe it appears some Iron fans are buying into the new ground in 2 years fantasy .. i would bet my smaller left testicle IF..IF it happens be nearer 5 years than 2.

this fella thinks Glebe rd in 2 is a possibility obviously

[ironfromafar]

Will this fixture will have commentary on the wireless .. HR or whatever Donny comes under.

Being as first game at GP for some time ..any predictions

Score .. draw 2-2
Attendance .. 1899
Away fan count .. 499

hoping for a good game and NO INJURIES

[ironfromafar]

On with the crusade ey IB

Dunno who runs or mods Bru but wouldnt this kind of thread/post be better in the NON FOOTBALL section of Bru ? .. where anyone wishing to read it can easily do so whilst those who are here for the football talk dont have to scroll round it .. true or false its tedious wash rinse repeat bollocks and not helping the club or concerned fans one iota.

Just bought misen a new telly ready for the footy season … can anyone offer any info on how i can watch the Scunny NLN games LIVE as thats the only reason i got it not interested in any other games really… is via the Club/Iplayer still an option?

To ground share would be disastrous to the club, nearly 1400 season ticket holders wouldn’t all be able to travel and non season ticket holders wouldn’t go out of their way to either.

I don’t think people always realise how important the force of habit is for keeping people going to games. Break that and you will soon see a drop-off. Fans are creatures of habit, their routines are important, whether it’s where they drink pre- or post-match, where they park, when they head out to the game. Change that and you can easily see people find other ways to spend their Saturdays.

Absolutely … bang nail on the head ferrite .. playing anywhere else other than GP (until the new 12k stadium is opened in 2 years 55555) would destroy the fan base and the club.

Not intimating this sort of YT content is to my liking but i came across it and the guy mentioned being both in the away end at Tamworth and the landlords sad demise , i wasnt suggesting subscription
I also spotted another new channel ” Claret n Blue Army ” where some young lads had done a vid on their BMX ride to Gaindboro for the friendly….

Too much time on on line atmo as monsoon season has kicked in and its proper pissing down everyday hours on end so living / working from my office to miss the carnage… not seen or had to listen to my missus who is several hours away at home which is a bonus ..theres always a positive , miss my two Jack Russells tho i do face time zoom with them most days.

[ironfromafar]

Seems this fella has been issued tickets for the home end at Tamworth…includes a nice mention of the sad passing of Dave the landlord of the pub in Winterton.

[ironfromafar]

just a thought and i dont know if this still happens in UK but … Scunny fans in away end , Scunny score im sure Tamworth have a few fans who may voice their displeasure resulting in a possible altercation ,, Scunny getting fined or fans banned from away games would not be good.

Young n daft i once did the away end gig at Port Vale didnt end well…older n wiser now im hoping Iron fans dont end up where they should not be.

[ironfromafar]

I certainly dont want this to end with a Phoenix club akin to Macc town and Bury and any other option would be better …alas ground sharing would decimate the club mainly for the financial reasons already mentioned.
Im hoping a deal can be done between Swan n DH (or the courts) for us to stay at GP..the dream of a new ground in 2 years is that just a dream and sheer folly to think otherwise.

I despise Swan for what he has done to the club at the same time wary of DH u turns and the future but its the hand weve been dealt so lets see if its jackpot or bust… folding isnt an option but a distinct possibility if DH walks away

[ironfromafar]

i use quite a few different forums some business some pleasure and the Bru purely cos i love SUFC

On every forum ive noticed there are members who are best avoided … see there username and just dont click on their all too predictable contributions.. its not burying my head in the sand, or the fact the members posts may be true accurate or false its just an agenda forms which rightly or wrongly gradually turns very tedious for members not wishing to hear this wash rinse repeat cycle.

IB …IMO you are firmly in this category and your constant posting purely to discredit DH via his past companies should as suggested (and you asked) be best placed in the NON football section thus giving members like myself who dont think your contributions are not helping the club in any way the option not to see your posts mingled in with football chat.

just appeared on SUFC website all tickets for Tamworth away now sold out and seems the home club are not making anymore available … thats as of now but will that change as i read that in the past another section of the ground was used for away fans in large numbers..

750 gone ..great effort

ive got the newbies face recognition via the training pics on the SUFC website ..but not a clue on squad /shirt numbers .. who has been the captain in the friendlies so far ??

In NLN shirt /squad numbers are optional so it may be a case no fixed numbers allocated to players thus probably making it difficult for the live commentary without numbers.

Some super combination moves in the second half but the tackling will be much heavier in real games.
Thought Rance played a decent role in the first half and this was taken over by Clunan in the second half who may have been half a notch better.
Interesting to see Shrimpton get so much time on the pitch.

And Boyce getting plenty of minutes is surprising me a wee bit.

Clunan was touted to be a great signing by KL fans ..in fact if i recall all the newbies that arrived with glowing endorsements ..down to JD n his team to get them playing as a cohesive unit.

Seeing plenty of NLN goals in this side coming from numerous areas not just the forwards.

Will have abetter idea after the remaining pre season fixture which should prove a sterner task.

Always nice to wake up to a Scunny win ..an away win ..dont happen often and 6 nowt made me do a double take head shake.

Ogle back great to see still sporting the mullet along with a new mooshtache
I take it Roberts and Butters were rested ?

Still pondering who will be club captain and first choice keeper .

Any more info .. attendance , how many scunny traveled ? was DH there ?
