Indeed Mcatee was a great signing for the hatters ….eh

[ironfromafar]

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.

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

Why what is the plate ??

[ironfromafar]

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…

[ironfromafar]

only radio Essex not Cox n co on Humberside

[ironfromafar]

need a commentary link please …..all im getting is this Squad Goals bollocks

[ironfromafar]

Dont forget the current Derbyshire egg famine

just seen JD s starting line up .. no surprises and only really one youngster Robertson on the bench

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.

local CCTV footage clost to GP has appeared seemingly showing LT either going on a scouting mission or a job interview in Grimsby ..the latter is doubtful as he isnt wearing any PPE or Hazmat suit.

Studying the image it also appears he may have been released from the local prison … an investigation is on going by an Interested Bystander

i truly hope after offering Scunny fans burgers when they visit Ilkeston Patrick doesnt end up with egg on his face metophorically speaking and no connection with the current egg supply crisis in the town.
Best of luck to Hollywood Wrexham ..they are on a roll even the council chucking 25 mil sheep ..i mean quid to revamp the RCG with a new kop stand .. hey NLC you listening ??

On a sadder note i was reading an article re Yeovil and my crusty old memory got reminded they much like Scunny but more recent where in the Championship … arguably the Iron fans best day this season was the opening day win over them and now both relegated…pleased them Maidstone and and possibly Torguay will be in the Southern tho York are back in the mix now but the minstermen play Aldershot who will have on foot on the beach after reaching the safe zone so expect them to survive.

Anyone know the most Northern located side in the NLS ?? they could well be coming our way

Got my season ticket. My money, my choice. Don’t need anybody to tell me what to do. If you have stopped going to watch fine but stop moaning on here you have made your choice. If the club folds in future will get my football fix elsewhere but in the meantime I am an Iron fan.

Pretty much sums it up .. positive news is that according to the SUFC website its very very busy at the ticket office so much so they are struggling to engage fully with telephone queries with staff all busy.
Be very interesting to see how many early bird STs are sold and also those sold after the GP is resolved. I really hope both home attendances and away traveling fan numbers remain high and im sure they will if he football and results are good.

@ AWAYWEGO my daughter contacted me and they got their STs yesterday… i forgot to ask in which part of GP , for my distant crusty old fart sins my choice would be the Britcon but im guessing they went for the posh seats.

Your fascination ,no obsession with hunting down DH to the extent of what his favourite bog roll is and if hes tanga or boxer really has become more tedious than the media v Harry n Megs … to you and a hand full of others it may be of interest and make your trousers move alas me and im guessing most other normal SUFC fans just dont give a shit and are simply waiting to see the outcome re the GP issue ..DH saved our club paid off its tax and other debts for that alone i am very grateful

Agree with whoever posted this thread should be moved to the non football section where it can be ignored more easily or followed by those who do find it of any importance.

I trimmed some grass last night .. i think its called a Brazilian ..lord knows the Iron could do with one or two of them in the side in its current plight.

We got flip flopper Pat pushing his big bad burger bun box spouting one minute “up the Iron” next its yer going down (not very nice to his chum DH).. then Intense Bystander on his crusade searching through more caves and turning over more stones then David Attenbourough when in reality I for one wont give a rats arse about the past if DH comes up with the doe for GP and the club can finally move on… not interested at all in Hilts past its the present and future that counts.

Realizing his big chance to land the SUFC catering gig via the back door may have passed him by looks like Patrick is now wishing DHs Iron get relegated again and has flounced the forum .. fear not im guessing a few Scunny fans will be their to test the hospitality for the pre season friendly.

IMO

Football and the teams that partake in the great game go through cycles not always but more so and especially within the mid to lower sized less well funded range of clubs.

Any club can suffer a fall from grace for a variety of reasons in our case and others very poor ownership also points deductions from breach of EFL rules etc .. Derby Sunderland Reading Wigan to name just 4 who have dropped down the football ladder due to poor management and spending , Bury Macclesfield were lost totally whilst the likes of the Cods , Stockport and York fell into the abyss and came back stronger and are on the up again… at some point in time most clubs will go through some bad times , really bad in some cases ..of course others see fantastic new era ala Wrexham who you got to fancy to go through the EFL all the way to the Championship or beyond ..thats the flip side of the coin and where Scunny were in yester year.

My point being .. the shit that has happened at Scunny is very sad for its loyal fans and the town but it isnt that unusual and most certainly not the end of the world so hopefully with a new owner the fans remaining loyal and backing the team theres no reason why within 5 years the club could be back in the EFL
