IMO depending how Scunny get on result and performance wise the attendances at GP (still refusing to call it TSVS) will vary from 1000 to 1600 allowing for the bigger clubs bringing a few in the away end…of course these numbers would increase dramatically if Swann was to leave.

slipping into footballing oblivion is a real possibility .. by that i mean a bad season in the NL league next year .. Swan puts us into admin and bosh we are done.
Rumours of interested buyers are just that only rumours ..just waht is the club/business worth ..fookall without the land n ground.
wer doomed ..doomed i say
Just because both Hill and Cox struggled at the club with the current owner, doesn’t mean Cox wasn’t doing a bad job. One may also speculate how bad things were before Hill came in after Cox in charge for a considerable length of time, perhaps leaving Hill with an impossible task under pressing circumstances.
Yes agree .. leaving Cox at the helm so long was a huge mistake .. Hill came in and hasnt changed results but should be given a bit of leeway due to what he inherited and lets not forget hes working with a huge nail in his boot in Swan .. at least it appears he isnt a yes man same as Cox ..
saying all above ..Hill may walk who knows especially if the club ownership changes.

another must win game slips by pointless … pointless being an appropriate word as it seems upon this terrible joke performance its pointless shelling out a tenna to go watch us whimper out of the football league.. well beaten by another bad side the scoreline should of been more emphatic than 1-0 .. yes another harsh red and a dikky ref but no excuses for SUFC matching up to the title of this thread.
I wish the season could end now , alas a few more stabs n kicks to come before we can draw a line under what has been 2 disasterous seasons ..
Sad to see Manny go .. a shock.
Is Hill committed ??
Will we win another game . score another goal this season ??
Can some one please come forward n buy the club to get Swann gone.
Lowest point in ny on 45 years following the Iron..sad sad times.

Rowe is the nearest thing to a competent right back at the club at least until Millen is fit. Should be playing there until Millen is back.
Another 8 or 10 games and Matheson might show some promise but that is Wolves problem, not ours.
Lewis is the nearest thing we have to a competent left back until O’Malley is fit. Delaney is a decent left side centre back and needs to play there. He is an average at best left back so playing him there weakens us in 2 positions.
Onariase is our best right sided centre back. Not perfect but the best we have at least whilst we need to play Rowe at right back. Grant and Feeney have to play in midfield. Sinclair is now showing some attacking promise so play him. If Beeston is over his Covid problem then play him. Nuttall and Burns up front and there is our starting 11 until relegation is certain.
Once we bow to the inevitable we should only play people that will be here next season plus the people we would like to be here next season. Fill the rest of the team with our promising youngsters that haven’t already been tapped up by bigger clubs.
Tell the players they are playing for their pride and their future careers. Send the those who have not bought into getting fit and working hard on garden leave.
It’s a simple game Keith, let’s get back to playing it that way. If that frees up a bit of time for you and your coaches you could start looking for the dozen or so players you will need to find to keep us in the National League next season.
Above totally spot on .. it aint rocket science, im finding some of Hills selection and set up choices a bit iffy.. players playing out of position at random , maybe done to confuse the opponents, ITS NOT WORKING Keith
Early tip for the next must win game … Scunny 1 Barrow 11 user thanked author for this post.
i reckon he will be on his toes n out the door lightening quick if a Championship , L1/2 club comes in for him… sad but hes got to move his career forward and that wont happen stuck at Scunny in the NL.

Just watched the highlights and agree with many previous comments ..blatant hand ball ignored by the ref for their equalizer..and a soft first yellow for Matheson.
Its getting tedious loosing all the MUST WIN games… one of our own SCORED IN OPEN PLAY, just trying to claw a positive from thin air really.
Say it again ..in numerous ways very strange selection and set up by Hill.
Another must win v Barrow next followed by circa 9 more must wins until the curtain drops on 70 years plus of football league status and the distinct possibility of years before a return.
Thanks Mr Swann ..great job NOT !!!!

Strange team selection n set up again from.mr Hill..
Great go 1 up ..but gonna be a difficukt afternoon now as Matheson been sent off .. n things were going so well… a re jig needed for sure

I think you are exaggerating for effect Ni. I do believe those 3 could probably keep us up.
Pyke, Sinclair and Nuttall probably not. Hill obviously made the wrong calls in January.
With them 3 i agree he probably did make dicky calls ..add Matheson , alas he was scrappng the very bottom of the barrel and something had to be seen to be happening to save us.
Grant and Delaney seem to be the two brighter January arrivals in what is adark dark season in the clubs history.
To think im finally due back in Blighty later this year covid permitting and after so many years i will be attending non league footy.. whodda thought that ??
Think the first nails where hammered in last night! just can’t see us winning 3 more games this season let alone 3 more then the other teams around us.
Think the coffin is more metal than wood now it’s had that many final nails hammered in.
Yes no great escape here .. i could see us playing the rest of the season without a win with this mismatch and melting pot of youth “experience” and guys no one else wanted…
OH WE AE SINGING PLEASE GIVE US A GOAL .. a song from the Old Show Ground days very apt for the 2022 debacle

A distinct possibility after the results mid week ..tho really we are down already ..
Maybe Swann thinks its better to be at the top of the NL then struggling in L2.. did he think that when we were in the Championship and L1 as well ..
Whichever way you look at this we are fooked .. with this chairman things will never improve and im predicting many seasons in NL and even below that.
SAD ..very sad BUT REALISTIC

Times must be bad seeing Gareths ironarmy yt vlog and even he is now giving the impression he is considering packing in (HOPE NOT)… seems like the traveling 313 Scunny faithful had a good day in the metropolis despite the crap football offered by their team…massive well done n kudos for those that traveled.
Very poor performance ..going out the football league with a whimper ..will we win another game this season ?? .. will a Scunny player score ??
sad sad desperate times.I think the jury has to be still out on Hill re the results and what he s getting out of the group… im not knocking his past achievements and experience but some of his tactical and line up choices seem a bit strange.
Scrapping the bottom of the barrel in the Jan transfer window was always going to happen and signings showed that.. but something had to be seen to be done as signing no players would not give Swan the escape route of ..””we did our best”” .. , i can here him now blaming covid , the fans in fact everything other than the real cause of our demise ..ie HIM AND HIS GREED plus PISS POOR BUSINESS ACUMEN.
The guys i chat to in Scunny who attend home matches confirm the codheads rant re the ground etc is pretty accurate as is the distinct possibility of only staying in the NL one season and being relegated from there..Dark dark times indeed

The drop came when Cox was kept on at the end of last season
Yes keeping that tool in the shed too long cost us ..
I pinned Mid March as being mathematically down .. teams around us , well more accurately above us all seam to be playing better and scoring goals ..something we still cant do even after the January sales where it appears we may have picked up a couple of faulty items.
Grant Delaney happy with
Feeney ok
Nuttal Burns Pyke jury still out
Sinclair not impressed as much as i thought he would
Matheson .. return for refundKieth Hill .. some of his team selections are a tas strange but keeping the faith as he inherited such a shit in a basket.

NL is bad enough , NLN a further tragedy further more do a Bury into oblivion n out of exsistance totally !!
Swann makes my piss boil destroyed our club and doesnt give a toss.

Clubs that bounce back tend to do so within the first couple of seasons after relegation. Beyond that, it gets much more difficult. Anyone reckon we’ll be competitive in the Conference next season?
No

i get the team sheet via a notification as it is posted and some times i have to do a double take or think theres a mistake as Hill has played players out of position quite often .. the Swindon line up was a tad strange.
IMO
decent keeper
Manny n Delaney pretty solid
Grant experienced a good player we snagged
from there on it seems to go pear shaped with little midfield creativity pace on the wings and cant score a goal for toffee.Bearing in mind we will more than likely be in the NL next season ive started following it more n more .. its real tight at the top with only 1 auto promo spot and another via a difficult play off route.
Any members on here care to offer a prediction on who will be promoted from the NL this term??
Im going for Stockport cos of there money and Bromley with the bigger boys Chesterfield , Wrexham, Notts County etc all missing out and in the mix with Scunny next season … OH not forgetting the Cods .. their fans are bouyant again after 2 wins and crowing how they will go up visa the NL play off route I HOPE NOT

Unfair on Hill to just suggest he got people in for the sake of people just seeing that something was being down.
Hill did his best and got in the best players he possibly could on a shoestring budget…not only that he had to bring in players that nobody else wanted and the reason why nobody else wanted them was the fact they weren’t match fit.
You can tell they’re getting fitter by the game but certainly not ideal or acceptable for where we are. All caused by Swann who went back on his word and didn’t pay the loan off.
Swann said “I’ll do everything I can to make sure we’re not relegated”…..fast forward 2 weeks and from the outside looking in he did the bare minimum.
Also you’re right, Swann’s not attending games and hasn’t been for sometime. I suspect if/when we go down, we’ll continue not to see him because he knows the shit that will be coming his way. Swann will avoid the club like the plague.
I am not at all putting any blame on Kieth Hill re signings .. in a shit spot HE DID HIS BEST , and despite how things are going he needs time to sort out the pile of crap he inherited on and off the pitch ..time he doesnt really have to save us this season.
Imagine the stink caused if Swan didnt bring anyone to GP in January HE had to have some players come in to make it look like he was interested and supporting Hill the reality of that maybe different but at the end of the day the tragic state the club is now in is down to one man his ego and his desire not for SUFC but his own ends and self survival if / when it goes tits up.We are talking about a guy who is so hands off and un interested in his “business” that he doesnt even turn up to watch the games.. its like me not going to my office everyday it shows his distain not only for the club but the fans..and i cant see Hill staying long term which would be a shame as at NL level i think he would keep us solid.
Ideally some crazy Scunny fan wins the lotto or a consortium of guys comes in and Swan n co can be bought out .. there i go dreaming again , but has got that bad now a miracle is needed.
UTI , claret n blue all way through.

I predict an almost every week performance.
Playing not badly, a few half chances, blocked shots, corners for us.
Then the opposition take advantage from a mistake by us (loose the second ball, a defender who let’s his man slip behind, losing possession in a dangerous place), and with our lack of scoring goals we cannot repair anything. Later, given away space while trying to attack, they will couterattack to a second and maybe a third goal…Blimey Dutch that’s sppoky! Did you buy a lottery ticket? With foresight like that you could win enough to buy the club!!
Tizz pretty accurate and a recurring senario tho

even with all its dated facilities,faults n cracks i prefered the Old Show Ground to GP ,,Donny road end n the walk from Brit to the ground there was an atmosphere that GP never really had or will never have again at GP.
It was a more entertaining better value way to spend a few hours ……..i much preferred the away days after moved to GP a way better gig.1 user thanked author for this post.
I know we haven’t got time but to gel eight new players together will take at least six weeks
If that’s the case then why bother wasting money to sign them at the end of January? Especially as the majority are either on loan or on contracts until the end of the season so won’t be here after that anyway.
Because some thing had to be seen to be happening .. by ….

decent first half display .. load of bollocks the second,, the stats dont lie plenty of shots some even on target for a change but no goals again.
