“Might well keep a few people quite tonight” what’s all that childish bollocks, most people have given honest opinion on the football of late and most are going to celebrate the win tonight, without being an happy clapper.

Glad to see you are as rude and obnoxious as usual tonight.

[IronIronIron]

4-0 and still plenty of time for more.

Might well keep a few people quiet tonight…..

Im sure the club could benefit from my services just someone to help them reflect on before they accept or offer everything, perhaps they’ll head hunt me.
Bit like the labour party needing someone to reflect on what their putting out and the look it gives.
Won’t do it without renumeration though they are a business after all.

You’re wasted on here, or so it seems.

Based on what he says, he is wasted when he posts!!

Salubrious compared to the Vetch.

The Vetch were certainly in a league of their own. Beyond description?!

If you want to see the game you have no choice but to pay, were not Kier Starmer with the freebies.
Cant see why you object to the football supporters associations “Stop exploiting loyalty” phrase and campaign to address the situation.

You’re really good at reading things into other people’s posts (or should I say, making things up?). IA did not say that he objected to that phrase.

I suggest you read posts properly before you respond. I also suggest that you read yours again before you post them. Things may settle down for you if you do.

I didn’t say they were wrong Awaywego. I said they are not important.

As others have mentioned, you don’t have to get involved as they are not compulsory.

The Club is still recovering from the previous owners. They are making great strides in ridding us of debt, and should be applauded for doing so. Nobody’s forced in to sponsorship, but if there are people willing to do so then bring it on.

A bit of positivity goes a long way.

Present club actions.
1. Inflation busting season ticket price rises
2, failure in their promise to increase the lottery jackpot, and to do a weekly prize.
3,change the 50/50 draw into a £500 maximum prize money.
4, Added cost for families at home fa cup matches
5, increased the non playing staff
6, partnership deal with a internet company that is scarring landscapes with unnecessary telegraph poles
7, partnership deal with a company charging £30 pounds yes £30 pounds for a signed photo of a national league north player lol.
8, stopping fans from going in the executive lounge after the game ( which is still costing the club money as not all have returned after their U turn)
Cant understand why there are any complaints can you.

Probably missed some out if I think of any more I’ll let you know.

You really are a sad old man.

Do you spend all day trying to get upset about things that are not important?

If everything is as bad as you make out (which I don’t believe it is), then why bother “supporting” the club?

He’ll just change his name and start again.

Companies House should be asking him how & why he was registered as a Director for a number of companies when they’d banned him for 7 years!!

If I can’t be positive before the seasons starts, I never will be!!

2-0 Iron

So Iron414, you trust the board to make decisions on every subject EXCEPT recruitment, and with very little day to day knowledge (if any) of what Turnbull actually does, you’ve decided he should go.

Personally, I’d rather trust the Board on recruitment than a self-centred fan who thinks he knows a lot more than anyone else.

FWIW I don’t know exactly what Turnbull does either.

[IronIronIron]

Can we please stop encouraging WG. Responding to his posts only encourages more, and more, of the same.

He will carry on until he is blue in the face repeating the same garbage.

Please, stop responding now!!

He certainly didn’t.

To be fair, he is English & the thread doesn’t actually state they must have played international football……

Yes, I was expecting a 0-0.

However, Germany were better than expected & Scotland were awful.

“With six fixtures now confirmed for the first team, there are a couple more to be announced to finalise the pre-season schedule. As soon as they’re confirmed, we will announce.”

That seems a punishing schedule considering the size of squad we’re expecting. Plenty of triallists maybe?

Looks like 7 games to me.

Some revisionist history going on here methinks.

Ogle was a very good player at this level. If he had all the attribute that have been listed above he would be on his way to the Euro’s!!

An excellent player for us the last couple of years. Committed, consistent and a good bit of pace.

Another 10 like that in the team, in their respective positions, and we would – as Burney said last year – “piss the league”.

He may well be missed.

The ground was never valued at £11M. IIRC it was valued at £5.5M.

Swann “wrote off” the £11M when he took the ground. He then sold it for £3M. An £8M loss.

He could have left the debt, and the ground with the Club. He could then have called in the £11M he was owed & bankrupted the Club. He would have claimed whatever value was raised from any sale of any assets. It could have been more than £8M, but it would probably have been less.

He was not a good Chairman at all. However, he could really gave shafted the Club big time if he had wanted to.

[IronIronIron]

A great loss to his family, his friends & many Iron fans. A truly great supporter. RIP.

Agree with most of that Fans but let’s not forget Swann took the ground having stated many times over the years that he would not do so.
Regarding the ground and Hilton the situation was the same when he left as it was when he arrived.

We should never forget what the pair of them did but do we really need to be giving Hilton the oxygen of publicly for his ramblings.

At least Swann keeps his mouth shut and doesn’t try and defend the indefensible.

I’m certainly not defending Swann, but I do feel that there is a different perspective to your viewpoint.

He transferred the ground to one of his comapies in return for writing off £11M debt (not getting into the arguement about who caused the debt!!). This also allowed us to carry on operating solvently.

He also sold the ground at a value which I believe, as did others, was below market value (agan, not getting involved in arguing the “real” value). He could have left us with the ground AND £11M debt and just walked away.

My view on Swann is that he had good intentions but was far too arrogant and conceited to listen to anyone who knew what they were doing. He always thought that he knew best – and probably still does.

Hilton is just a crook.
