    Nice post CC and its just about how i would feel if the clubs fates were in reverse.

    Indeed there are many differing posts on Fishy from the obvious gloating and piss taking to an increasing number offering compassion to Scunnys plight.

    I read it as some posts are quite funny… example the Miss Scunthorpe quote made me chortle

    Miss Scunthorpe ..no not a beauty pageant just F**king good advice

    Also very true that a disasterous and rapid demise can happen to any club at any time for numerous reasons (mainly poor ownership) in recent times citing clubs dropping from the PL to L1 ala Sunderland whilst Scunny and Yeovil have matched the likes of Stockport in dropping considerably lower from the Championship… thankfully saved from doing a Bury or Macclesfield by new owner DH who hopefully will turn the clubs fortunes around.

    I recall going through Grimsby on way to Cleggy with my parents when a bairn many moons ago , car windows up trying not to stop at traffic lights too long ..a mooch along the sea front playing dodge the dog shit, Steeles fish n chips and candy floss and my father always telling us ….

    if your a good lads we wont come next week.

    Well over 1800 replies and a quarter of a million views on the SCUNTHORPE thread ovver yonder.

    Its nice to know deep down how much the cods care and that our fan base is spreading even into the un chartered saline waters of Grimthorpes, im wondering if the Mariners will even go for a claret n Blue away kit next season to show solidarity for their much loved neighbors.

    Back to the main thread header question ..Even though its an away fixture hence hes more likely to attend im of the opinion he wont go…last game of the season means nothing (have any of the last 15 games) probably feels he can do with out any potential hassle n earache from fans.

    Get another tragic season over n done with.

    Retained list n see whose here n whose gone

    Moving on to D DAY May 24th if we get that far …

    Then the “big secret plan” kicks in

    At last a new thread based on the football not the bullshit .. good idea re a NLN topic as dont know much about the league and quite a few of the teams that play in it.. googling locations etc.

    Be interesting to see who gets promoted to the NLN from the ongoing playoffs ..shame about Gainsborough missing out i watched the highlights on YT and was a very entertaining tight game by the look of things.

    Certainly some memories from Nuneaton, i would hope theyve improved their ground since that fateful day from the 80s

    all this bullshit is very tedious n pissing me off …. even though im based overseas i joined the forum out of my love for SUFC, to debate n talk about football, chew the fat re tactics and performances throw in a few memories and a bit of fun n banter … of course talk about off the field stuff and obviously the old n new owners will be a factor but this vendetta against DH the man who saved our club is taking over everything else what the forum is supposed to be about and may well destroy the club.

    I dont know who is stirring the pot or what is being said on twitter etc as thankfully dont use it but it all sounds very toxic and damaging.

    I personally dont give a rats arse what DH has done in the past im more interested in the future if the club has a future after all this bollocks.

    with all this outside interference bullshit targeting him would not be surprised if DH walks away such is the which hunt against him by this a minority who probabaly are not even Scunny fans more so for what ever reason are very anti Hilton ..

    FFS .. imagine if he walks , say good bye to the club then for sure.

    I am internally grateful to him for saving the club and what he has is doing so far , my one gripe is his glaring misjudgement when not taking time a step back before appointing JD but thats history and a gamble that has back fired badly , im sure the JD issue will be sorted out if things carry on going pear shaped next season. IF WE STILL HAVE A CLUB BY NEXT SEASON.

    Just watched the highlights of Kettering Town V Chester .. Whitehouse played well again also a rather rotund chap wobbling around called Alex Kenyon who was Chester Captain.. not good quality commentary or vid but better get used to it.

    i will miss the live game commentaries if they do go …imagine dropping so low down the football pyramid that you cant even find live commentary and or decent YT highlights…. welcome to the world of a Scunny fan next season.. ar well least wont have to listen to Footballing guru and expert tactician Niel Cox.

    Maybe the club will offer a commentary service via the website ??

    After 15 years out of the fl with the huge financial banking of the Hollywood guys plus the local council the future does seem very positive for Wrexham .. as i predicted earlier i can see them getting through L1 and L2 and to the Championship quite swiftly …i would not bet against them being an EPL side within the next 6 or 7 seasons.

    Well done to all involved for making it happen and creating such a buzz in the town.

    Scunny back in the efl most of our lifetimes is without doubt a tall order however optimistic and loyal you are.

    As previously commented by Awaywego reading on SM that DH was abused by fans whilst in his car with his family , one (via a trusted source) suggesting hes contemplating walking away already.. could this be the route he needed to do so if the money still owed for GP isnt on hand…this could get real messy even worse talk of Swan returning is a toe curling thought.

    He’ll have to change his number plate if he leaves.

    Why what is the plate ??

    bearing in mind the likes of Butterfield Ogle etc wont stay can anyone suggest who actually deserves to stay on attitude,effort,talent and commitment???..

    I would keep some of the kids Robertson Poulter Young Lewis etc plus Chappo Elliot maybe Carver tho has injury worries…oh and Whitehouse
    Other than that bin the bloody lot most certainly including Wilson ..

    i get the impression JD will keep the likes of Boyce Rance which he should not ..get rid

    Nice to see Matty Lund score a 97th minute winner at Walsal and give a really good interview after the final whistle … how we could do with him in our side and that goes for many others who have left SUFC over the years for whatever reason upping their game and careers..for my sins i do follow ex players still in the lower leagues even though it means squinting through my claret n blue glasses at the likes of Stockport and Bradford etc.

    this bunch are just thieves …steeling a wage packet , many so obviously dont want to be there.

    YES im not overly enthused with JDs reign but inept tactics aside hes working with broken glass in his boots with this lot of unprofessional lazy fookers..

    I do fear for us in NLN again as was said at the start of this season ..its a tough league and sadly im predicting no fairy tale immediate return , more likely mid table obscurity at best or even worse and drop even further AGAIN.

    Thats if we still have a club at all come June

    He definitely says it as he sees it in his post match interviews .
    Never heard anything like it .
    ‘9 players were injured today …..apparently ‘
    Do not know if he is the manager to get players on side like ‘flogging dead horses ‘ he said .

    Sounded about right to me .. a raft of players all of a sudden getting “injuries” so they arent involved in the end of season debacle n boo fest ..it appears one Taft even resorted to self harming to avoid being selected.

    Noted it also appears some have been trying to get sent off to avoid the embarrassment of being chosen to play anymore.

    This is what it has come too

    All i could get was commentary on Radio Essex so needed to listen and translate very carefully, as well as the obvious bias the numerous break aways to see how teams like Coldchester and Braintree were doing made for a tedious listen..
    Couldnt find RH commentary only some crap called Squad Goals with some proper turnips talking utter crap.
    I dont know RH policy on how low they will go re LIVE commentaries but possibly wont be listening to Scunny next season ..wait n see.

    BTW sounded total gash and embarrassing again yesterday only positives were young Robertson and Elliot scoring a well taken goal…

    Fail to plan, plan to fail. That’s what granny told me.

    Uncanny Dm66 my gran used to say exactly the same ..

    Seems to be a few quotes on the forum at the mo .. heres one

    “Why is it us? Why us?” “Because we’re here, lad. Nobody else. Just us.”
    ‎Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead ·..Michael Caine in the movie Zulu.

    I wish someone would share the great “plan” Jimmy knows it who else .. at least an out line of what the plan may include suppose all is resting on the next few days as the rumours being commented or 24th May ‎

    Dont think DH has been there much in the first few weeks of his reign, alas Scunny do seem to attract stay away chairmen .. its a fact if i had bought the club i would be there every week taking the flak or lapping up the glory rain snow or blow.

    Busy man OBVIOUSLY .. investment meetings deals to be made,eggs to source and burgers to flip.
