i know this is only the second pre season friendly so an injury free evening is a must, also as these fixtures tick by im hoping by late July JD will have a pretty solid idea of his starting line up best formation and and players in their best positions…

I didnt realize Evans was such a unit until saw the Brigg pics ..hes a big buggar.

Pitch should be better than at Brigg (Gunness playing field is better kept).. therefore hoping for a more flowing game.

should be interesting to see the line ups tonight .. who starts and will it be all change at half time again as at Brigg..

Hope its a decent game

Any predictions ?? im going for 4-1 to the Iron

[ironfromafar]

Ive read the accounts and same as AA i aint no numbers guy (precisely the reason i employ an accountant) but this is a perfect in for another IB fair n balanced post to explain all.. im sure he will be along very soon quicker than 2 rounds of well done crusty farmhouse in my pop up toaster.

IB has confessed he has no allegiance to Scunthorpe United.

He is simply rubber-necking our car crash!

Indeed zero affiliation to SUFC but his “bystanding” is incredulously all one way with the shit only being flung in one direction, even when DH does something positive like sign players , pay some debts and submit accounts its quickly found to be flawed… your belt fed biased negativity is getting very tedious IB give it a rest and trying to be more of a silent bystander may be more helpful as none of us can change the past however deep the digging goes.

I am maintaining an open mind re DH ownership and for that matter JD management style and IMO giving them both time is the right thing to do , one thing guaranteed i only want the best possible future for the football club i have supported since 1975.

Oh, no. What can this mean?

It means IB is frantically looking for some fresh shite to post

As sure as night follows day ..

Pleased the accounts issue can be ticked off the to do list ..until next year then.

Agree with richgy its time for DH n PS to sit down n get the GP mess sorted giving the fans and players stability and hopefully a boost for the up coming season.

Next up Winterton away later today hope its a decent game and a good turn out.

People like you expect things to be served up on a silver plater and sometimes life’s just not like that.

—————————-

I dont expect nowt being served and just look at the bigger picture whilst you seem totally focussed on the destruction of DH , the fact your “by standing” has mainly been a constant barrage of belt fed negativity towards DH the new owner of a club you have zero affiliation to lends me to believe its DH you are after not the betterment of SUFC which is all that true fans care about.

whatever failings have occurred in the past on the parts of both Swan and Hilton is history and these two are the only people who can sit down and get this mess sorted out thats a FACT

Iron army at the Brigg fixture first vid for a while obviously.. not a lot of footy shown but does show just how bobbly the pitch was, way ff predictions and it seems plenty of grogg available.

[ironfromafar]

Theres a fella who posts on the SUFC fb page Dave Eliot …now he is one negative guy ..
Cup half full NA , Cup half empty NA
Yes still lots of questions still to answer on JD but this fella hasnt even got a cup, hes that full of doom n gloom you need to take prozac just to read his BS.

If your on Bru Mr Eliot PLEASE lets try to be a tad more positive ok as my pet duck Steven read one of your posts and he had to go into depression rehab costing me a fortune.

I’d still like to know the actual squad numbers.

Same here … when we do finally know them it may give an indication of the guys that will be starting more often ..IMO without a long injury / suspended list there are some im guessing who wont get much first team starting action n on the bench… DSF amongst others may find himself in that category

[ironfromafar]

agree with the last 3 posts .. what is the point of going out n winning 11 – 0 and learning nowt, can a fixture be taken seriously when the full side is swapped at half time so as everyone got a run out.. Cass hit the nail on the head.

twas good to see DH mingling with fans at Brigg yesterday .. no public lynching, hopefully no verbals and scratches on the Roller.

[ironfromafar]

its crazy reading some of the comments on SM .. the reality is , it was a kick about, a friendly , with the whole team swapped at half time on a very poor pitch that rightly so stopped early due to a medical incident … stiffer tests to follow through pre season and hopefully JD will have a better idea of his starting 11 come August and the NLN proper, thats what matters.

Im sure JD n CP are fully aware they will be toast if after the first 10 nln games Scunny arent in and around the top few places scoring and playing decent footy.

Hope the person involved is recovering ok.

Fitzsimons, Barrows, Kougun, Evans, Denton, Kelly, Scales, Clunan, Roberts, Law, Whitehall all played.

What’s next?

I know its only a friendly on a shocking pitch but any stand out performances , how did the newbies do ??

Seems like a fair few rocked up over 2000 ..

[ironfromafar]

Rance is in the training images so dunno about injured .. cant fit them all in obviously but Ogle not featuring YET is a tad strange.

[ironfromafar]

Only Scales from the first half line up remains for the second half .. my point being NO Ogle Pugh or Rance either half… poss come on as subs

struggling to find updates other than via the club FB page .. no idea if theres a decent turn out

[ironfromafar]

Cant think of a time been more entrigued to see the starting line up , looking at the playing surface at Brigg its a shocker .. hope no injuries

prediction Brigg 1 Scunny 4

Hope all wo go have a great time n get behind the lads.

Nice pic of Cal Roberts wearing the new home shirt on SUFC fb page.

Firstly,AFAIK a player doesn’t have to be registered to play in a friendly.
I wasn’t aware of the quote from Dean but the word “Hope” maybe suggests that the rumours may have substance.
We’ll find out this afternoon.

Ok cheers .. forgot its a friendly so not regd dont matter.

I HOPE i win the lottery so i can buy the club and also GP etc , shouldnt overlook the small issue of needing a place to play should we.

Dont suppose the Brigg game will be on radio or the net ???

[ironfromafar]

Pray tell with me livin tother side of the world what is the word on the street .. the rumour ??

Some of the new signings got cold feet .. done a runner .. unable to be registered ??

i pulled this snippet off the SUFC website ..i note the word HOPE

“””Manager Jimmy Dean will HOPE to show off his new-look Scunthorpe squad with a whole host of additions such as Callum Roberts, Ross Barrows, Michael Clunan and a further eight signings that have all bolstered the team so far this summer.***

Today will be interesting.
If rumours are to be believed, and I must stress that they are only rumours and I’ve seen no evidence one way or another.
Let’s see how many of the new signing play today at Brigg.

That sounds very ominous SUFC ..

[ironfromafar]

sorry if posting on this thread and it topping the Bru page some members may have initially thought we had signed him …. in all this DH PS toy throwing i had forgot about the possible 3 new faces coming in , one being mooted to be Lavery .. must be about the money as just why any player would want to come to Scunny in the current climate is beyond me suppose it depends on promises made and which tale they are being told.

[ironfromafar]

Attached to the FB post banning a fan DH is now saying the term vermin was aimed at Swan not Bru members … btw i read daves fb post on fishy thats how fooked up this all is

If Hilton is using the unregistered land as an “excuse” not to complete the sale then surely Swann registering the land will allow the sale to complete or call his bluff.
This assumes, of course, that Swann still wants to sell and Hilton has the funds to buy. If the info above is true regarding the simplicity of registering the land then things could be sorted next week, or am I dreaming?

Absolutely 100% bang on correct ..that yer dreaming !!

solidarity will mean jack shit if the club goes under and ceases to exist as Bru would not have owt to talk about.

where did this Swan got to give the club 2 years notice period to leave GP appear from ..first ive heard of that.

[ironfromafar]

As with so many other aspects combined to make this mess ..no one actually has proof any such ransom strip exists ..its DH word against PS and that seems to be the case for just about everything associated with all this debacle

[ironfromafar]

more so IF an amicable agreement cannot be made and Swan does get us evicted what will happen re all the monies paid for the stuff i mentioned in my previous post, season tickets , Parking , 1899 etc etc ???

[ironfromafar]

posted this earlier ..can anyone give an explanation why it appears so many may have been and still are being hooked ???

Part of Swans post that makes me double take is where he comments on all involved with the 1899 scheme , numerous sponsorship deals , car parking charges, season tickets and new signings being given the impression all is well re actually playing at GP when clearly it isnt… so many different ppl all seemingly of sound mind and happy to jump on board and part with their money lends me to think what have they been told ..and who actually knows the truth.
follow this on with the newly appointed directors .. nobodys fools but experienced successful business ppl who have also been seemingly keen to climb aboard the Hilton express are we to assume they been belt fed a load of tosh.

I can only suggest DH and his new board start dialogue with Swan ASAP to get some sort of deal over the line or we are toast.

[ironfromafar]

wow .. waking up to this , WTF has happened to our club.

a few comments and im gonna have a black coffee laced with Jamesons and lay down in a darkened room for a while.

Great post from Captcod re the club being a community asset..thankyou

IB .. prize for best tongue up arse post.

Swan should never have been allowed to rob the land n GP in the first place he done us like a kipper

DH no doubt is slippery , he has chucked in a lump of his money and effectively did save the club ..or did he ?

Legal action to repo GP .. is it too late , can a deal still be struck i truly hope Hilton n Swan can find a way out of this clusterfook or else i fear SUFC will be no more

I really fear for our club.
