I think you should all stop bickering. Swann will cave in, we’ll win the league by a landslide and we’ll be in place to piss the national league the following season.

Believe to achieve !

Stop bickering ..yes that would be a positive

Swan cave in … cant see it happening things are very messy

Based on the first few signings and giving JD a full pre season with them
win the NLN handsomely … im optimistic
Challenge at the top of the NL the season after ….. i remain optimistic (we wont piss it)

DO A LUTON .. take note circa 10 years ago Luton were in NLN yesterday they were promoted to the EPL miracles can happen.

Given the club seems to conduct much of it’s comms via Twitter and there’s a sizeable chunk of the supporter base on the Scunny Fans Facebook group, quite a few on here might benefit from taking a look now and again rather than expecting us to post links. In this day and age, it’s not that difficult with a smart phone. Or you can carry on being in the dark I suppose?

IMO there should be more updates via the club website not everyone uses FB n Twitter .. as yet nothing except the one so far, whilst all around even with all the uncertainty players being signed , land being acquired and gates being locked.If only the club were as keen to keep its fan base both in the Uk and overseas fully updated on current issues as they are at selling numerous sponsorships , 1899 shares , season tickets , old kits (without even a comment to know where the team will even be playing) wouldnt it be great ..

My daughter now saying maybe they should of waited before buying the family season ticket, im not one for saying i told you so BUT ..i told you so.

You do it then! Why does it matter so much to you? If you’re not in ‘our position’ then where does your motivation for all this detailed and time consuming engagement come from? I resent any inference that I don’t care about my club just because I’m not leaping into some sort of frenzy of activity. You have all this data. You take responsibility and get the press involved.You take ownership for what you are telling us you know … and if you prove yourself both correct and effective in acting to help our club to secure a better future then I will thank you.

I’m not here for the argument, I’m here because I know the difference between right and wrong. If you want to sit and wait, you do that.

As for the press, they are already on it.

This interested bystander stance appears to be coming an obsession, for some one with little or no affiliation to the club leans towards having some negative agenda re Hilton and smacks of shit stirring especially ‘advising” Scunny fans to meet up and get the media involved.

Bringing Simon Elliot into it on here as you have also not necessary.

Sadly this whole saga has gone way to far down the path for fans to sort get any accurate info and know where it will end so lets go day to day.

BTW loving the new signings so far ..all excellent.

Not been impressed by Rance at all … rumoured to of arrived carrying an injury, could well spend more than the average time out injured or suspended as he likes a booking now n then. Hope he stays fit and improves on the performances he put in during the short time he was at Scunny before the end of the season.
Robertson looked a prospect , dont know much about Poulter n the other youngsters.

Hoping Butterfield n Ogle stay ..

[ironfromafar]

Nice to get back to some footy talk as the off the field if n ands re Hiltons past , the new land and stuff that normal fans know little about is very negative and tedious and must put guys off posting on here.

WG ..agree but a lot depends of the players still here on contract decision to stay or leave (Butterfield Wilson and Ogle mainly) .. maybe when seeing the excellent new signings coming in they could be swayed to stay.
Good Keeper options with Fitz n Chappo (assuming Foster is leaving) Whitehall Elliot Carver a decent strike force for NLN would expect then to bag plenty .. maybe add one more again Wilson staying or going may effect that.
All in all on the pitch its shaping up ok and im guessing a few more still to come in ….

now just gotta find some where to play.

Certain it can’t possibly be beaten!

Tongue in cheek post .. with a bit of 1980s fashion thrown in ..not meant to be taken seriously

obviously not read as such

No podcast .. no live twitter feed .. why so strange to ask

Luton best the Mackems to get to one step away from the PL … crazy tale and one Scunny fans should take heart from …. as Loyd said in dumb n dumber ..SO YOUR TELLING ME THERES A CHANCE !!!!!!!

[ironfromafar]

good to see THE Scunthorpe thread again so popular over on the Fishy … see the cods do care about us.

[ironfromafar]

Im liking the early signings all 4 ov em.. again i hope they are all JDs picks thus propelling to either hero status or zero status.

[ironfromafar]

Just a few more hours and hopefully a peacful forum with clarification on all the issues currently being guessed at..

Please new signings are being done early .. that has not been the case in many years…hopefully more to come soon

The fact we’ve erected 2 big shiny signs on the fence today suggests it’s a negotiating tactic to bring Swann back to the table.

If Swann calls Hilton’s bluff in 2 weeks time, this could get messy

I agree. As I said earlier, Hilton’s flexing.

A question for tomorrow night- Who have you acquired the land from, what is the title number for both parcels of land and when was the transaction completed?

What are your thoughts on Simon Elliott acting as Hilton’s mouthpiece? I have warned against this previously, pointing out that both the club and Hilton have a voice.

Cliff Byrne’s Right Peg wrote:

Nothing wrong with Simon voicing an opinion, he has no formal capacity at the club as far as I’m aware so he can post what he likes.

AGREE … oh and Hilton did say in a past interview maybe the ironarmy podcast that Simon was in talks re getting involved and Hilton welcomed that.

[ironfromafar]

i presume these two swift signings are JDs choices ???? ..hope so as hopefully will the next few , at least then hes getting his chance to full fill Mr Hiltons job requirements on his own merit .. hey imagine if his signings and football turn out to be a huge success what will all the JD out party whinge at then … of course he may also fail miserably ..but really hope thats not the case 10 games into the season.

UTI ..lets remain positive gents

After a bit of delving watched a few clips Whitehall seems a decent signing , a handful that will score goals (remember one of them cast your mind back)also the fact many EFC fans were hoping he was retained n stayed bodes well … nice to get some new faces in early lets hope it continues.
Will try n find details on Kelly today, again well though of at the Spitfires.

Huge club n fan base errmmmmmm really ??

Nice to get back to some football talk…fingers crossed all goes well at the forum n issues can get clarified then the deal sorted on or before 24th May.

dont know nowt about either but sounds positive .. obviously need players for quite a few positions but a left back in the door so quick bodes well … Whitehall n Elliot up front ???

[ironfromafar]

Scunthorpe United is a football club , its a fans forum so questions should be about the club the plans moving forward and its future ..i dont give a rats arse what Hilton has done in the past and what good will it do fans delving into his past i want the deal to go through and the club to survive and prosper for the benefit of the town and all involved including staff and supporters.

Im not privvy to any inside info just hope the very negative things we are hearing be it truth gossip rumour or fact dont happen as the thought of ground sharing , going bust would be a disaster for so many.

Not long to wait to find out more info via the forum ..then on to the 24th May deadline

UTI

[ironfromafar]

I try not to dwell on the past as its a tad depressing , there are loads of players that have been mediocre whilst at Scunny but once moved on n ripped it …

On the other side of the coin.. its not always this way

Hallam 1 game in 3 years :)
Big Gerry Mac 1 in 1 …then left
Lavery into Donny reserves (i think)
etc

Never forget KVV goal at the Cods plaice .. still watch it over quite often to this day

[ironfromafar]

Congrats to Notts County .. well deserved on their style of attacking football and points tally in the NL ..travesty avoided.

You were at South Shields Awaywego.

And that was Nothern Premier League. Bit of a step up from QP don’t you think?

If you want to climb the mountain you need the right equipment!

Last sentence a very good analogy … i might add you need the right financial backing, strong well organized leadership ,sherpas and team also or its a long n rocky climb with the possibility of an avalanche along the way.

Will the 1899 club thingy be called “The 50 or so club “and where will they all go?

Good question and just another issue that needs clarification as im guessing if the deal goes through all tickerty Boo quite a few more may buy into the 1899 gig.

When i lived in Scunny Quibel park was a cycling veledrome with a very small stand on only one side …has it been developed in the last 23 years ? ..
It may make an ok training facility but surely not first team home games ??
