So at present we have had Burns , Sinclair and Feeney come in … what is happening re Nuttal , Grant ???? and also be nice to keep informed as to who is leaving…..its like the club seem hesitant to keep fans updated and they have to rely on the various media rumours and tweets are these deals so cloak n dagger and signed off with a secret handshake?
A HUGE week for SUFC ?? .. HOPE SO

Loosing football league status is nailed on .. just a shame looks like going out with a wimper before reach March.

B Rovers seem to have to been busy in the transfer window .. as do many other clubs , im hoping Loft doesnt play would hate him to play well , score his head wouldnt get through the coach door for the trip back.
Anything but a home win not enough .. Barrow play Salford keep an eye on that one too.

like the sound of this lad … get him in .
What happened to any Nuttall deal ????
so so far still only Burns has arrived .. circa 6 days to go more so games added players can be involved in are dwindling away.
Will Loft score the winner?
Just know he will ..its a dead cert

Seems we are missing out a lot, whilst all around us are signing at will Sunny Scunny obviously is not as appealing .. most of the clubs around us in L2 have made numerous signings , Stevenage Carlisle and even Oldham n Colchester are on the bus ..
circa 9 days and it aint looking good is it.
Even the Cods are finding players and Abrahams is a tidy player.

Now your asking Ironff, I will try and drag it out but I am not good with names, even with a clue of Alan the only one that comes to mind is Dent.
Not a Dent .. i recall taking cover in a bakery at one point .. i went by the monika JB in those days
Alex Calvo Garcia .i think Motek was the shirt sponsor at Wembley ??? .. 99/2000 was my last season living in UK.

at the end of the window desperation is bound to set in and will end up with an odd experienced past it player of little use/improvement to the squad .. but then Swann can say he tried ..
FEEL SORRY FOR HILLIm due a 1 month trip back to Blighty later this year put off cos of covid and will be attending as many home and away fixtures as poss , never been to Boreham Wood only the service station .. twill be interesting to see what sort of home crowds Scunny will get IF IF they do end up in the NL .
. by that i mean 3 plus new faces including a decent striker
I think we need 2 good-ish strikers in as one won’t cut it. Need a CB and a progressive CM player. That’s the bare minimum because even then you could argue we need a RB and a mobile DCM player as Rowe is preferred over Kenyon so that can’t say much for Kenyon and he’s injury prone himself.
We have nothing at all upfront besides Burns and he’s never even played league football before coming here.
Cant disagree with that ..alas cant see any of it happening in the next 10 days ..hope im wrong but appears we may being going out with wimper .. even some young codhead fookwits are taking the piss on SM re our plight and Mactee scoring a stunner against Altrincham.
Covid is Swanns relegation blame card and will be his excuse for sure .
On the kits .. 3 looks very similar to an old shirt i have here .. age has clouded my memory and not sure what year but it was back when Motek were the sponsor.
Choice .. i like 1 and 3 equally.
We felt lucky to get the half mile to the ground without to many injuries, well outnumbered, then again when weren’t we, on arriving outside the I met an old school friend who said will you hold my brother up I think he’s broke his leg, I of course obliged and he went full pelt into the Leicester fans with a scaffold pole retrieved from someone’s garden, nowt like brotherly love. It was bad wasn’t it, but what a day to remember for everyone.
What was the name of your school buddy .. i thought my leg was broke that day and my brother Alan steamed into the em after he dragged me away.
Pub on the corner of a road junction .. it was crazy in the ground aswell
Anyhow remember the battle of Nuneaton,scary happy days.
Yes i was there .. crazy day , i believe they were Coventry fans that turned up for a bit of action.

If you’ve been following the Iron for 60 years and it’s still firm but pliant then that’s something else you’ve been fibbing about!
Colchester and Oldham finishing below us will do for me!
[/quote]
Twood do for me also ..but do you think we are currently better than both of them .. i dont and Oldham have strengthened in the last week or so ..(not sure about Colchester).
Sad to say n i hate being a doom n gloom merchant im more of the thinking Scunny will fall away and finish bottom by a margin …leaving them two to fight over the remaining NL place.

pretty much nailed on that there wont be anymore significant additions to the squad .. by that i mean 3 plus new faces including a decent striker .. also a cert is the fact when we do go down Swann will blame covid and the fans before looking in the mirror at the piss poor way he has raped the club and lied constantly …. even down to the money grab for Loft without a replacement.
Miracles do happen but not with this current bunch .. i feel for Kieth Hill.

great memories ..OMG i was 17 years old.
Question .. that team sounds very familiar to another memory i have … what year did we play Altrincham away in the FA cup and Joe Neenan kneed their guy in the nuts to give them a penalty n a 1-0 win .. i think they went on to draw a big club.
Vince Grimes .. he was bald by the time he was 15 , Rick Green enjoyed a pint and Stevie Cammack , they all put a shift in and had pride wearing the shirt… alas no so nowadays , how the great game has changed.
I read on that Hill has openly stated selling Loft has made us weaker !!.. as much as i was NOT a fan of Loft (ATTITUDE MAINLY) Hill is obviously correct and i agree , Loft so clearly wanted to leave and was just playing to get away.

SWANN alway goes back on what he says he will do ironfromafar. When have you ever known him to tell the truth???????
I need time to think about that … memory may have to go back back in time a long way.

Maybe Swann is skint more skint than it appears ..or not being allowed to blow anymore cash on SUFC by his wife and / or others involved in his business dealings… doubtful more likely hes going back on what he said he would do.

because I cannot see Hill being here still May!!!, I am sorry to say.
yes i must agree with that .. although the NL does have some larger well ran clubs with big budgets and good managers ..( example Challinor at Stockport ) i cant see Hill wanting to carry on working with Swann as its a job where his hands are tied and basically a road to no where so come the end of the season (or even before) i would expect him to walk , SUFC could well find themselves in the NL or lower for decades
2 users thanked author for this post.
agree totally with previous posts .. im more of the mind we could tail off and end up finishing rock bottom by a considerable margin rather than even being close to surviving .. hate these thoughts but just being a realist, i just cant see where a win any win will come from let alone stringing a few wins together to get some confidence and offer a glimmer of hope.
Obviously being in this mess does mean players dont want to come here and loans are not the answer.
Most Scunny fans realize the writing is on the wall and 70 plus years of football league status will be lost come the end of the season.. the NL beckons and will Hill stay when thats happened? then what will the disgrace that is Peter Swann choose to do.7 users thanked author for this post.
With 3 hard fixtures coming up .. (in truth they are all hard)
Newport who are flying
Bristol Rovers ..you just know Loft gonna come back to haunt us (he played in Midfield yesterday for hisnew club if the team shhet n line up was correct.
Port Vale .. again they are playing very well scoring freely and looking good.
DEEP BREATH … SEE WHERE ITS AT AFTER THESE 3
Oh yeah then its Oldham AGAIN
Its becoming pretty obvious how this clusterfook is gonna pan out ..regardless of If Swann pays the loan off (which as a businessman he wont).
Im now more of the thinking Hill will walk any time between Feb to the end of the season.
To not muster a single shot on target in 90 mins is an embarassment and highlights just how poor we have become.
The NL league is looking nailed on and imo it would be a huge surprise (miracle) for us to survive , more so NL life there after will be very tough and SUFC could find themselves there for years and do well not to fall lower ala Kidiminster …worse still and admin and into the history books as another Bury or Macc town.
SAD TIMES INDEED and despite my hopes of survival are dwindling i remain claret n blue all way through.
Well done to the fans that traveled to Exeter ..its a fair old trek if i recall correctly.
3 users thanked author for this post.
well done Ferrite i hope the long trip is both safe and enjoyable.
Praying for a win or a point ..another defeat cement our problems with others around seemingly improving ..ie Carlisle n Stevenage
i missed that ..where has Wilson gone ??
i have this recurring dream of Hill ringing round all his contacts in the game asking .. have you got any players … any …any will do.
YEP .. real possibility more out than in
Cant really blame any player wanting to come to Scunny in their current position and probably aware of just what a wanker Swan is.
Even the players previously affiliated with Hill seem wary jumping aboard a sinking ship that taking in watter weekly and will be sunk well before h the end of the season comes around at this rate.2 users thanked author for this post.
Relegation will be a real shitter …its folding completely and not existing at all that worries me.
Is it me or ?? it comes across as really theres little fight going on from the boardroom to actually stay in the EFL… slightly more on the pitch since Hill arrived but zilch from the owners.
agree with previous post loyal fans have the duty and right to kick off when their club is in a mess and relegation is looming.
selling the club ??? whose gonna buy it and wahts it worth bearing in mind who owns the clubs assets.

January 13, 2022 at 11:39 pm in reply to: SWANNS Last Chance to Save Our Football League Status #221571maybe hes skint …. ready cash wise (not on paper)
sighting covid within the business sector as an excuse he may well be broke or saying hes broke.
this does not in any way defend him from the lies and harm he has brought to out club and the current transfer window inactivity confirms how much he really cares …or rather DOES NOT GIVE A TOSS.
