I agree its time to unite get behind the club in its entirety and see wear the journey takes us.

I am more sceptical than you, but hats off to you (along with Sanfran, who I believe is behind Hilton) for a reasonable approach, in my opinion. It is a forum where people share their opinions and we can’t all think the same. The more sceptical may be wrong, but these attempts at division and attacks on others for not being true fans, because they are more questioning of Hilton has to stop.

I too am sceptical but even with all the shite flying just wanna give DH the benefit of the doubt and hope the team can start to win football matches and get the buzz back.. there are some points which grind at me like the new ground in 2 years bollocks but for now its anew owner manager n team and now board of directors .. so im gonna sit and cheer from top of the fence until the SUFC drains clear and more good or bad comes to fruition.

Sorry IFA, but what more are we expected to do apart from attend games when we can? Is anyone saying they’re boycotting games are something? No. Does he mean we’re all supposed to lick his boots and not question stuff people in their right minds would question? Is that unity? Sounds like BS to me. Sorry.

yep loads of unanswered questions re DH and much more but nothing will change with all the infighting and negativity at the mo i just wanna focus on the new season and hope JD can get the team winning games and see some smiling happy faces leaving GP ..

Surprised LT is in the mix ..Simon Elliot must ov been kidnapped or as earlier suggested arrested for speeding en route to GP .. my application must be somewhere deeper down the pile ..

In which case, why offer Wilson a new contract? Why sign replacements before a firm decision is received?

Also didn’t ironinsider say the new players weren’t registered on one thread, well they are on the first team page on the club website now

Love it, next time a club is punished for fielding an ineligible player they can just say “but we put their pictures on our website, what more do you want?

Ferrite ..Wilson and Butters both stated they wanted away then did a U turn .. AFTER new players had been signed and actually gave the reason for the change of heart …quote : due to the ambition being shown by the club re signings ..Wilson then accepted a contract , Butters not sure about him.

Can only guess what has happened to the 3 new faces reportedly arriving this week inc Lavery .. maybe some thing has changed who knows .

No sign of the 3 newbies mooted to be incoming … again maybe cos over loaded with midfielders

No Poulter ??

What’s the upshot of the nitty gritty IFA? My phone won’t play the video for some reason. Might be my settings or preferences in my phone settings? Cheers.

The first part of the vid is more about Dannys early years and being a young player and the countries hes played and studied in … mid way through the chat gets more into recent times from him joining Scunny to present day and the current squad.

Nice that the guys mentioned Shaun Maxwell who sadly passed away on Monday, a huge Scunny fan

RIP and condolences to Shauns family and friends

Christ sake, Swann binned off all the Directors and put his family in….you all whinge, new guy tries to put a board of Directors together to control the day to day running of the club and guess what??? you all whinge. It is actually becoming depressing supporting this club.

Dunno about BECOMING depressing Pat , its not been very positive for years.

Iam 100% behind DH , JD the team staff and just hope the club can stop the rot and move back up the footballing pyramid.

Whilst a get its a business and needs investment and direction from where ever possible the club seems to be able to blanket cover every conceivable avenue across all forms of social media re sponsoring etc etc yet when it comes to day to day updates on both on n off field goings on what most fans want to know there seems to be a real lack of effort to do just that in a timely manner.

Also general legitimate fan queries n questions being asked receiving little or no response is a tad off putting

Hoping for the best and trying to keep all the possible negatives firmly in the back of my mind as IMO this coming season is a defining one in the survival/future of SUFC.

I think is not unexpected really, Tony has been in charge of the youth team squas for naby years, and what players during these years has he ever brought any special players through???/.

What really shocks me is hoe the hell does Musser keep his job, being goal keeping coach over the years, we have had possibly the worst set of keepers in what ever leagues we have been playing in!!!!.

He should also be given his marching orders.

Agree ..for what ever reason Mussy does seem bullet proof despite a string of at best average keepers. (Gilks remains my fav Iron keeper from the past).

So your telling me theres chance, im reading ya !! ….. as Loyd said

[ironfromafar]

Just had a click on the fishy Scunny thread and at the mo its all gone a a tad wonky with our black n White brothers warbling on how superior they are to us, i would like to take this opportunity to state the bleedin obvious that at the current time Scunny n the Cods are indeed 2 leagues apart ..BUT IN REALITY when the first ball is kicked in anger next month we should not forget potentially we are just the course of ONE full season away from being together again…so surely all this talk about them momentarily being superior needs putting into prospective.

So in the words of the late great Vera Lyn who herself was a staunch Iron fan so my old man said lets keep smiling through and we will meet again some Scunny day .. and it could quite possibly be just one season away!!!!

Ironfromafar, I can not really give an opinion on your chances of promotion as I have absolutely no knowledge of the NLN. I just thought I’d try and save you some money!
Your comment about lack of signings puzzles me. We had a very short close season last year due to the play offs and missed out on most of our targets. However this season like yourselves we have got most of our signings done before training starts and even paid fees for several of them. I can’t remember the last time this happened instead of last minute signings that no one else wants.
We’ve kept the nucleus of the squad that finished 11th and reached the quarter finals of the FA cup together and released the fringe players. We’ve signed Rekeil Pyke (Shrewsbury), Donovan Wilson (Sutton) , Abo Eisa (needs no introduction) on frees and Harvey Rodgers (Accrington) , Danny Rose (Stevenage) ,Toby Mularkey (Rochdale) and Charles Vernam (Lincoln) for undisclosed fees with the promise of more to come.
Our club is now very well run . With the windfall from the fa cup run we have money to spend for the first time in 20 years, although this certainly won’t be spent frivolously by the new owners.
Most of us cod’s are the most optimistic we’ve been since Fenty took over. We’re certainly looking up not down.
Although it may pain you, a better bet would be an outside chance for a top 7 finish for us.
Your signings have impressed me so far , but I’d be more than a little concerned where dodgy Dave is getting the money from if I was you. Seems a little Swann like throwing money you don’t have at promotion or bust.
Good luck for the new season a club like yours doesn’t deserve what’s happened to it.
UTM , UTI

Thanks for the concise reply CC, i take on board your comments.

i hold no real hatred for the Cods and admit to reading the fishy which for the most part re Scunny has seen hundreds of fair n balanced comments many of which i agree with (obviously mixed in with a few funny piss taking ones) im still of the opinion my wager is worth a punt IF the combined double odds are ok ..so yes im predicting a tough season for youz lot leading us to once again have that local derby many love so much.

Nobody cares, captain cod. You know your club better than we do so don’t take any of it to heart. Apart from that I think he was winding you up anyway.

We have our own club to worry about.

Why would any of us give a toss what your upcoming chances are for next season ?

No wind up WGs (would i do that to our much loved friends from down the road),my friendly fifty quid flutter is a real prediction.

At least it has revived and rekindled some football chatter to Bru instead of all the he said she said snide nasty conjecture filled comments all to common in recent weeks.

[ironfromafar]

apologies i meant assist in finding the odds not paying the 50 quid

[ironfromafar]

I fancy a flutter .. 50 quid double , not easy to get it on from here ,can anyone assist n if the odds are decent will get it on via a VPN or my daughter.

Scunny promoted back to NL
Codheads relegated to NL (as yet light on signings and i reckon they will struggle this coming season)

Thanks in advance

[ironfromafar]

looking like maybe no new additions this week as previously 3 were mooted . Wilson n Butterfield staying may have changed this plan.

Still very happy with how the squad is shaping up regardless if anymore new faces arrive or not.

[ironfromafar]

going by the SUFC fb page pics looks like at least 4 of the newbies were at training today.

Don’t think the new lads contracts start until 1st July. Will they be there this week?

Yeah valid point but it seemed such was their excitement when signing i thought maybe they would be chomping at the bit to get started .. maybe some of the newbies are still on their hols laid on a beach.

My Oldham buddy still saying they are gonna land Ogle ??

[ironfromafar]

with all the new signings it looks like we are pretty much ok in all positions except with the forwards/strikers so another coming in would not go amiss to cover injuries and tactical rotation.

Apparently 3 more signings mooted for this week so …watch this space.

I hope there will be some updates re the squad reporting back for training today .. all present and correct sir ??
