    Wasn’t it 21 or 22 draws that season?

    We were ahead in something like 15 of them afrer the 87th minute.

    The worst promotion ever.

    Was the 3-3 game at Dagenham when it was torrential rain towards the end of the match ?

    Yes. We were 3-1 up when the players were taken off because of the weather.

    They came back out about 15 mins later and the pitch was absolutely soaked.

    There was only circa 20 mins keft but we managed to hold on for a point!!

    A strange game all round.

    I fear Swann is waiting for the gates to drop and then he may come and put us into administration and put the blame on the fans for not coming through the turnstiles. Then he may liquidate the club and sell the land to get back the money which HE has squandered. Lie after lie after lie. He says he wants to sell the club so why does he apparently keep moving the goalposts when we have two consortiums which appear very willing to buy our Club. If he doesn’t sell now it proves he is willing to let our club go under for his own benefit in my opinion. What sort of a person does it take who would wreck a football club who have been a league club for over seventy years, with a decent fan base of dedicated supporters, as proved by the current attendances. Even though the football is dire fans are still attending. I ask again what sort of a person would wreck a club, sign over the assets and land to their own company and then walk away with the proceeds from such assets????????? If this were to happen what sort of a person would do this????????? Time will tell but to the SWANNS please allow new owners to buy our club and get gone because it is you who is costing our club the longer you stay as owners. I believe that if the SWANNS were to leave there would be a return of another 1000 supporters through the turnstiles immediately. This is my opinion and may not happen, we can only hope.

    Do you actually know if these 2 consortiums are actually willing to buy the club? Also, are they willing to make an acceptable bid?

    Swann has been a disaster for our club, but it is unfair that all the assumptions that you make are all negative against him. You may be correct, but I believe that he will fulfil some of the things he has told us he will. None of us know what will happen – but let’s hope it happens soon.

    Not sure if these two are injured? But surely if they are fit they should be at least on the bench for experience at least, if their fit surely it can only be financial why they are not playing.

    today we desperately needed to play at a high pace but we slipped into Maidstones trap played at their pace and got punished, the players need to be shown how hard it is for the supporters to keep giving their hard earned money and getting nothing back.

    Today is the lowest point I have ever felt! In the 47 years of supporting the Iron, we had poor teams in the mid 70s but you want to the games knowing they would put 110% into the game even if they were outclassed.

    I Was reasonably happy on Wednesday after the game as Wrexham were a class above us and we at least had a go, today against a very poor team we were made to look even poorer and I really do fear the the club as a whole.

    Starting to believe Mr and Mrs Swann really do want us to go into administration as punishment for the mistakes they have made in throwing money into the pit and not getting to the promised land.

    Three words to the both of them “SELL US NOW” please,please,please sell us before it’s to late and give the new people a fighting chance, But unfortunately I can’t see it happening as they have made their mind up to bankrupt the club.

    Can you please explain to me how the Swanns will benefit more by bankrupting the Club than by selling it?

    Cash flow problem regarding purchasing new stock? Suppliers not been paid? All speculation but it’s a rightful concern, before anybody starts complaining.

    It’s only a rightful comcern if it is the truth. At this moment in time it is only conjecture.

    To say that Swann made up the potential sale to get more fans at matches as we need the money is beyond ridiculous.

    The amount of money needed to keep the Club afloat would require at least an additional 3,000 fans every month based on what we are reputed to be losing and require. It is never going to happen.

    As I’ve stated before, Swann is a disaster fornus and needs to sell up asap. However, the repeated requests for him to make a statement are only slightly less boring than all those people who call him a liar when he does.

    We don’t know if he is finalising a sale or not, and none of us know what price he is asking for. Sadly, we just have to wait and see.

    I would like posters to think before they post as the site has become noticeably less busy as fabrication of all things SUFC has increased. As I was told many years ago, if you have nothing sensible to say don’t say anyyhing.

    Too little & probably too late.

    We do not have enough support to take the Club on. The idea that the Club belongs to the fans is bollocks.

    It used to belong to Wharton, and now it belongs to Swann. Hopefully there is someone out there with enough money, and enough conviction, to take it on and give the fans what they want.

    So the deal that was never on in the first place is off. Swann does not intend to sell – he just needed the next excuse.

    Can you explain what evidence you have to tell us that the deal is off? (That is, the deal that you say was never on in the first place!!).

    PS how do you know that there was no deal on the first place?

    I want Swan gone as much as the next man, but all this BS is getting somewhat monotonous.

    Just another thing to thank Swann for. Everything around the club is just so toxic, disharmony everywhere. He has created that culture and environment alongside everything else. A true disgrace of a man.

    F row crew, and the 2 people who liked the post, should be ashamed.

    Swann has a lot to answer for, but blaming him for the (so called) fans behaviour last night is ridiculous.

    As recent posts show, this has been going on periodically for many a year.

    These people should be identified and banned. It is totally unacceptable.

    It is stated that he promised this that and the other, that his sole intention was to develop the land on which the ground stands, that he doesn’t care about the club or the fans. All wrong.

    So tell us one thing that he has promised that has actually happened.

    He said he was going to do a lot of things, the vast majority of which he has failed to deliver. How many actual promises he made, I don’t know. I can’t think of any.

    Broadly agree with what III is saying but not sure there’s evidence he actually does care about the fans. Certainly not the last few years.

    Sorry Deerey, my fault for not making it clear – he doesn’t care for the fans, which is obvious, but he does care what the fans think of him.

    A man who is out of his depth and has no idea how to stabilise things. Hopefully someone will come along soon and replace him.

    Sorry Sanfran, but this is where the paranoia comes in.

    Whilst Swann has been an absolute disaster for the club, he most certainly didn’t plan it.

    It is stated that he promised this that and the other, that his sole intention was to develop the land on which the ground stands, that he doesn’t care about the club or the fans. All wrong.

    His character is such that he wants to be loved, he wants to be our saviour, he wants to be remembered. Sadly, he has been so incompetent that he has failed in all areas.

    He wanted the new ground, to play in the Championship and be the big “I am”. I, for one, wish he had been successful (but I still wouldn’t have liked him).

    Hopefully someone with the same intentions, but far more capable, takes us on soon.

    The reality is that none of us know what is happening.

    Even with nda’s/conf agreements, there would be nothing to stop either party making a basic statement like Swann has. No detail, nothing controversial, just a general statement.

    What I find hard to take is all these poster who moan when Swann doesn’t say anything yet shout “liar” as soon as he opens his mouth. It is getting tedious.

    Still on course for another relegation, though.

    Not if you base our future performance on the form of the last 5 games we’re not.

    We can all make statistics say what we want.

    If we do perform well and survive will it make you happy?

    Well, the ref has just blown for half time, in what must have been the worst performance by a Scunny team in many a year, they have been overrun by a part time team who are 0-2 in front, but according to the commentators, it should be 5 or 6 to the part timers, Scunny have reached an all time low, and have not really had a shot on the Dorking goal, the players have just gone off to a really good ringing of boo’s from the die hards that still are prepared to bother to turn up to watch thus pathetic shower.

    IT IS PROBABLY A GOOD TIME TO LIQUIDATE THINGS AND PULL THE PLUG ON THINGS!!!!

    How bloody low can our once great little club sink. only this week fans were yelling how things are much better, that was after a couple of draws which were following six straight losses, so just another round of boo’s from the fans, and another round in 45 minutes time, then back home sick as parrots and get ready for thew next home game, and the two away matches that are coming up for about 200 usual nut heads.

    Having your own opinions is fine, and choosing not to attend is your right. However, calling loyal supporters “nut heads” is out of order – and I’m sure that they enjoyed the result today more than you did.

    Reminder…. A company must have stopped trading for 3 months before it can be struck off the companies register. Source government web page. “Striking your company off the companies register”

    He can close the company down whenever he wants to. If he doesn’t oee anyone any money the the company will cease to exist after 3 months.

    Peopme can put forward reasons why it shouldn’t be closed, but they need to be justified – and if it isn’t financially related, then it will be unlikely to pass muster.

    If he didn’t want to be here why did he come twice.

    I said he wasn’t happy here – and he wasn’t. He came to get game time and put himself in the shop window. It worked.

    He had a major attitude problem when he was with us. He wasn’t happy being here and thought he was too good for us.

    He is a cracking player now though.

    It amazes me how many people on here know so much about Swann and his financial position. I don’t know where they get their info from, but it would be nice if they let us know so that we comfirm it for ourselves.

    The longer this drags on the more stuff is being made up and repeated until it is believed.

    Swann is not the only fantasist involved with the Club.

    Let’s hope that he goes soon.

    Heard on that Humberside sports talk another interview with Swann is imminent….

    I’d rather he didn’t. We all would.

    I’m no Swann fan, but the guy has no chance.

    People moan when he doesn’t say anything & moan when he does.

    Alcy just moans at everything.

    To all you disgruntled fans out there I’ll say something when there is something to say. At the moment I have nothing to say.

    Swann has got him on such a tight leash, he can’t even find it within himself to critique the shite performances.

    I suspect he’s another Swann puppet. As I said above he appears to be on such a tight leash it’s embarrassing, he’s less critical now than when he was simple fan like the rest of us.

    “To all you disgruntled fans out there”

    Is he not disgruntled himself then ?. Appears to be another Swann robot.

    Pretty strong stuff coming from someone who was pretending to be “itk” only a few weeks ago when ypu were quoting him.

    You really are a prat.

    Whilst our owner is incompetent, our fans are even worse.

    Swann needs to go, but he is treated worse than he deserves to be. If he speaks, he is a liar. Whatever he says is regarded as a “promise” when he has never promised anything.

    If he speaks he is called a liar. If he doesn’t speak he is a coward.

    He has told us he wants to sell, but people thinks he has no intention to do so.

    He will sell, but it isn’t easy. Whoever buys us has a massive job on their hands. It will take time.

    Hill must go. Sooner rather than later.

    Whatever happens, I will always support the Iron. Hopefully it will be back in the football league – eventually……

    From Wednesday, we have a couple of days to make good the mentioned EFL signings at the closure of their transfer window – before our next Saturday game
    Get this right with three trustworthy players in who can cover the areas of direst need and we can muddle through this season.
    Fail to do this and it is hard to see any way back.

    Les, I admire your optimism. We might get lucky and find one trustworthy player, but to expect three is sheer fantasy – we haven’t found that many in six seasons!!
