If we are going down, then we should do so with a bang. (Not fireworks or anything else illegal). Show the Iron that we will always support them, and that the mad dad Swann has not stopped us.
We are Scunthorpe UTBI.
Support my the fans now and next season is critical.. gives the players a boost seeing so many at home and willing to travel to away games being as loud as possible… as you say shows them it was Swan and his disasterous running of the club that was keeping fans away

If the miracle this season doesnt occur (im praying it does)….. then…
Heres the current NLN table , my earlier prediction of Scunny winning it handsomely next season needs slight evaluation ,looking at it more closely its not gonna be a walk in the park and i may have been a tad over optimistic due to wearing my claret n blue beer goggles ….
A Top 7 is more realistic …..sad but true , thankfully safe from extinction just starting from scratch.

Although touted as the best league in the world and possibly rightly so as earlier mentioned in this thread i too am not overly interested in the EPL more so the big 5 or 6 clubs and much prefer following the lower leagues (which is just as well being a Scunny fan for the best part of 50 years).
Grass roots football with mostly working class fans that follow their club for the right reasons… it must be boring being a City ManU Liverpool Chelsea fan playing in what are lop sided games and expected to win comfortably weekly im pleased to see the wheels coming off some of these so called mega clubs alas it could end up with abreak away super league as mooted a year or so back.
For me its Scunny United n only Scunny and thank the lord our club is safe to fight another season, next will more than likely be NLN some fantastic away days with a big following watching a rebuilt team playing attractive football at the right end of the table .. weve had too many years at the wrong end of a league but im sure from next season with this new owner , manager players and new found buzz around the place them days are behind us.
i dont give a rats arse if Man city are expunged kicked out .. wont change the course of my life, where as to have so nearly lost SUFC that certainly would have done.

We are not going to stay up, and that is not the fault of our new owner & manager we all know that, the damage was done with our recruiting pre-season and selling the only players scoring goals during the season.
What’s done is done, we need to focus on the things we can change which is building a side that can win promotion from the NLN at the first time of asking. If we can pick a few wins up in the remainder of this season for us long suffering fans then its a bonus.
Absolutely bang on ..
i hope the whole town gets behind the club from now on .. oh imagine taking big numbers away to some NLN grounds in a weird way twood be a great period in history to be a Scunny fan

Am i detecting a hint glee in your multiple Oldham – Nuttal winning posts Rene ?.
Im loving the new found buzz at the club but the sad reality that IMO there simply arent enough games left for the new Scunny manager to weave some magic and get this mish mash of new and old to gel and go on an unprecedented winning streak to safety .. miracle required

personally i dont give a fig about Man C , the big 5 6 or 7 EPL clubs are a law unto themselves and too be honest the only club i give a rats arse about is Scunny.
History is for historians and those who like to dwell on the past whether missed opportunities or good bad decisions .. i say the future is CLARET N BLUE … thank the lord our club has a future.

Due to the more positive outlook for SUFC and now covid seems to have moved on im planning a trip home with my son .. he visited Glanford park once when he was 3 years old … hes 24 this October, as well as seeing my daughter and meeting grand kids for the first time im also gonna take in as many of my haunts as possible in Scunny and surrounding area and into the Isle of Axholme .. Epworth was also a regular place for a few as had family there… worried about the cost of everything its 20 years since i was there.. ONE LAST VISIT FOR OLD TIMES SAKE.
Anyway back to the footy .. is this Elliot any good , anymore news.

Bud passed away not long ago unfortunately.
Thats sad .. he knew my family well , a character , loved a pint or three.
Pub near the canal was The Friendship Hotel, it became The Friendly Fox and latterly The Barge Inn.

Played 30 – Won 5
Wrexham & County are well clear of the chaff.
A very mediocre, much of a muchness league.
Agree..Indeed its sad we have struggles so much and find ourselves at the bottom of what is a mediocre league .. take away Wrexham n County and a couple of clubs nearly there n the rest are quite evenly matched and could all beat each other on any given day.
Before the season most predicted Wrexham n Notts to be up there ..says it all really it was that obvious , in Wrexhams case the money has helped ..Notts county not sure but a big club been knocking on the door often.
Chesterfield did seem to be one to watch n in the mix but the wheels have come off , Barnet , Woking punching above their weight as were Solihull again before it went tits up .. all leads to the fact its a very so so league sadly one we will be leaving at the wrong end barring a miracle.

The Barnet manager brought up Foster in his post match interview (yt vid ).. commenting hes a young lad and how they wanted to target that n put extra pressure on him.. if the Barnet boss is doing that im sure others will be as well .. defo need another keeper the likes of Gilks would be nice.
Waiting to see how it goes re team selection and performance against DnR ..obviously still very early days though i would hope for an improvement on Friday nights efforts.

Not reading any moaning in my previous post X … even my comment on Butterfield was a personal opinion.
Stay up – go down yes it matters but when you look at things in the cold light of day the fact the town still has a football club with what appears to be an enthused owner has to be seen positively, any improvements will take time and any whinging n moaning needs to be toned down and the new set up given time .. blooming heck is only been a few days is the football world really that fickle.
I hope all Scunthonians fans or not stick by the club… being so close to extinction i sincerely think Mr Hilton (who got rid of swan for us) and his new team BOTH MANAGERIAL AND PLAYERS should be given time, pretty much nailed on to go down this season but the town still has its football club now and for generations to come there was a time not to long ago that was very much in doubt.
I hope as many as possible of the 2000 continue to turn up..time will tell but all it needs ais a few decent performances n results.
As a personal comment .. did not agree with Butterfield being dropped he was missed in midfield and should have been involved and played for the usual 70 mins .. doubt was injured as ne on the bench.. hope hes not one Dean sees as not giving the required 100% effort in training n on match days as his place has been more or less guaranteed since he arrived.
