Similarly, Omotayo from Kings Lynn would be a good signing. He looks like he could effortlessly do what Beck blustrously can’t.
Agreed .. having just spent 2 seasons in NLN with a bit inside knowledge should SUFC be looking to cherry pick 2 or 3 6th tier stand outs for their NL campaign perhaps ? who has caught your eye ?
I went to renew my season ticket today and found it shut Why can’t they tell on the website ?Not impressed
Go to the Club FB page rather than the website as the shop opening days and times are posted weekly. The post today says … due to winning promotion yesterday the club shop will be closed today re open Tuesday which is pretty understandable.

No chance of watching where i am today cos of internet buffering woes but usually commentary is ok ..that said PLEASE can anyone send me the link for RH as im currently getting a blocked message.
TIA
Clunan interview .. he mentions the long wait plus more.
I hope they have been practicing penalties.
Heres the interview make yer own mind up if you think AB may be bluffing re Roberts .. his words “being brutally honest i dont think he will be in involved … he wont be involved.
sorry about the long link pulled it off X
Just read a FB post saying AB confirmed on radio Hull Roberts is out Sunday .. mind games ?? if not his goal threat and assists will be a massive miss for the Iron..
IF we win on Sunday there are so many other variables how things pan out, who stays who leaves, the budget etc etc but same as Sf 49 i too am not overly confident in ABs leadership and motivational skills coming up against well drilled NL sides .. not sure i buy this just one more game huddle on the pitch malarkey , saying that fingers crossed AB gets the players up for it and its attack from the KO and a WIN.
Sadly im sticking with my earlier prediction
Lets be right any assistance received from the council re the MW closure was only ever gonna get sorted with Prince Harry intervening..
Bax Mellend a legend in his own mind.
I had a dream … well a nightmare more like.
** Based on Cal Roberts not being involved, yes he really is that pivotal.
Im gonna kick off the score predictions for Sunday and apologize in advance if i piss on anyones chips its just how i see it unfolding.
Got a gut feeling
It will be very close yet open game with a few goals , no way its a 0-0 n pens this one.
The Iron players for whatever reason put in a lackluster performance, Chester want it more on the day and run out winners .. its what happens at Scunny when theres a huge game and crowd..2-2 90 MINS
2-3 AET
Chester go upAtt 8,889
1 member = 1 vote
1 STH = 1 POF ticket?It’s discriminatory allowing a ST holder to be able to preferentially purchase 4 tickets.
Very poor imho.
Agree Rene .. doesnt effect me but i do feel sorry the loyal regular fans who will miss out .
IMO a STH should have been able to buy their own ticket plus 1 more maximum.
Rene when shall we start the score predictions ?????? btw im assuming Cal Roberts will be out injured.
I’m sure we had 8999 against The Millers years ago.
capacity is 9,0XX but i read some where the away end will have the front 2 rows of seats covered and something else about some seats covered for segregation.
Around about 8,800 – 8,900 ish looks likely.
As for the Chester fans parking issues … hopefully most will be leaving early due to a convincing Iron lead (half time would be nice)

I liked him.
Yes so did i .. cant remember the circumstances of him leaving Scunny but IMO it was a shame he left
im gonna be out in the rural boonies so no chance of a viewing, its a few beers and HR on the wireless (phone) for me and then catch up with the highlights when back to the metropolis (if we win)
Just me and my house keeper who i might add is now Iron 100% especially when there is free Chang beers on the table..she is cooking up a jungle meal of pik gang gop (spicy rainy season frog curry) and a mango and coconut dessert… depending on the score she may get a tip .. or i will 5555555
Good point AWG …
So much riding on the result of this game NL or NLN again a big difference in the ST sales for next season perhaps.
As for the game im not sure it will be as clear cut as the recent community day league fixture and i am however positively sure nerves will be jangling if its 90 mins draw ET and even the dreaded pens. I shall leave my score prediction until i know if Cal Roberts is playing as IMO that could be massive.
Lots moaning about season ticket holders being allowed to buy 4 tickets, surely that’s one of the perks of buying one they’ll distribute them to who they see fit.
The community game they could buy another for a friend for a tenner.
Seems a sensible move imo for a club that gets it wrong so many times, most casuals will know at least one season ticket holder.Even worse for Chester fans, their casuals questioning themselves and the club with their monthly membership scheme gold, silver and bronze and all you get for it is entry into a ballot for any tickets left after season ticket holders have purchased theirs.
Many commenting do have a very valid point ST holders being allowed to get more than they should have will mean many loyal regulars will miss out .. IMO ST holders should have been allowed only their own ticket OR max 1 EXTRA…
ST holders dragging friends n family along who have possibly never been before.
Dosent effect me but really bad planning by SUFC and bound to piss off many.
This is one gig that will go down in the annals of history as being a total clusterfook .. its got disaster written all over it especially now Kieth Harris and Orville have pulled out due to bird flu.
Roberts wants to go to war with the trust… has apparently banned the trust bringing new merch onsite as well as click and collects!
Claims the trust and other fan groups have no right to use any badge, past or present.
He even think using the term “Iron” or “Unity” is an outrageous use of the club “identity”If this turns out to be the case then WTF is Roberts thinking .. he will alienate himself even more from the fan base.
The Trust do so much great work for the club and arent funds raised directed by to the club anyway in the form of shares and or donations ??
Some nice stuff being sold and by all accounts the UNITY flag sold out very quickly.Maybe Roberts has a deal with the new folks who took over from Merch labs recently or they arent happy contractually re this sudden competition using the same logos and club related wording.
Seen a number of cocksure braggadocio posts on social media about beating Chester and I don’t like it one bit. Look where the Kiddie braggers landed. All game for a bit of taunting if they’re giving it large but to think we’ve already won is naive in the extreme.
Absolutely agree ..some of the comments are really daft .. IMO without Roberts for the final and Chester being well backed (1500 ) seeking revenge its far from a done deal and a lot of iron posters could well have egg on their faces looking very silly if it does go pear shaped.

Tango man seems to have been thru the juicer … still IMO a fair interview in difficult circumstances.
The there the Chester manager obviously in a more jolly mood.
Hiltons latest radio interview re Matlock .. worth a listen ..Scunny get a major mention 16 mins into the interview.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW – New Matlock Town owner David Hilton speaks to North Derbyshire Radio Sport

i note at Chester home fans were behind both goals in last nights game v Buxton … away fans in a side section.
Im guessing most will have already got their tickets so around 6 to 7k looking likely., IF we progress the final would be a sell out due to the away following of either Kiddy or Chester.I don’t think people have enough information to slam the Club for affecting the team.
We very nearly went out of existence, and we desperately need to get things right off the field. I believe that the people on power are doing their best to ensure that we are still around for the future. It may not all be popular or even wanted, but they need to consider every opportunity to improve the position of our Club.
AB, in my opinion, should never have been appointed. He has done a decent job, but his stubbornness has cost us dearly. We may still go up and he may take us to the next level, but it would have been a lot easier with someone decent & experienced at the helm.
I hope he continues to improve with his tactics and his attitude, but I am still far from convinced that he is the right man for the job.
Hit nail on head there Ironx3 .. wasnt keen on ABs appointment and the strange contract extention,sounds daft (where he has got us presently) but IMO hes not the right person to take the club forward and if we do go up he may well struggle in the NL.

i think we will beat Chorley .. possibly a few goals in this one 1-1 at 90 mins 3-2 to the Iron after ET.
Thats where the positivity ends sorry guys … cant see us beating Kiddy or Chester even though its at AAGP .. can see it being really tight and going to pens in which case im not optimistic, Tango man has the edge over AB and Chester be well backed and up for revenge.
Traveling over night 7+ hrs drive from up North to Bangkok and got the Chorley KLT commentary sorted on mi phone, 1-45 am KO so will know our opponents..
Hoping its KLT but i think Chorley will beat them 2-1
Same with most clubs when on the brink or have dropped out the league, Hull, Cods, Donny and Lincoln just to name the local ones.
Remember posting years ago saying it wouldn’t happen with scunny if we were in that position, well we are and I was wrong gladly.
Hull on the verge of relegation to L1 .. very surprised at that
.. hes scrambled his way to second
Andy Butler (2024/25): W26 D12 L8
Jimmy Dean (2023/24): W26 D10 L10
They both scrambled their way into the play offs and JD was relieved of his duties for failing to get promoted.. AB may well fail also but i bet my grans electric scooter he wont be sacked due to the clubs current delicate fiscal situation and his contract payoff.
Civil war both amongst fans and who knows maybe in the board room come close season.
Let battle commence
Trust V Club more like.
Club choose to ignore the trust when wanting to talk with fans.
Trust choose clubs ex merchandisers.
Smoking Goat to launch The Trust Burger?
Great idea !! Though i think DS is too busy at the moment with the possibility of a SG drive thru
near Donny.No idea what Butterfields injury is but he’s not played for Gateshead since before Christmas.
Only made 19 appearances this season.
Whilst we managed 1 extra point and exactly the same outcome without him. Remind me who were the prophets of doom that predicted mid table at best without Butterfield, Ogle and Elliott.
Same guys calling for Butler’s head?
Whilst i admit to the doom n gloom side re Butterfield etc leaving i stayed on the fence for the most part re Butler getting the boot .. hes scrambled his way to second and a decent chance of promotion due to home advantage but hand on heart i wasnt impressed when he was appointed , shocked at the premature contract extention and still regardless if we go up or not i remain unconvinced he is the right person to take the club forward .. he will struggle next season if in NL or NLN and expect the axe to fall it it goes pear shaped in the first third of the season.

He’s 35 in June. Is that him finished now?
Quite possibly Rene as it seems even though he started great at Gatesheed hes been out injured for a few months something i wasnt aware of.
all hypothetical of course but re his departure .. probably down to money but possibly AB thinking having Butterfield around may be a threat to his position in the future if things went pear shaped .. common knowledge JB was looking at going into coaching.
Regardless how things have gone this season im sticking to my guns re we would have been a better team with JB and DE in it.. especially if Elliot played as he should be.Would you swap Elliot for Beck Fish and/or Charlton ??
Let battle commence
Trust V Unity
