The toxicity has been created by one person and one person only.
From the moment he came to the club many of us thought he was full of himself and his own importance. Many other supporters bought into Ernest and his claims.
Sadly the latter group have now joined the former and the majority of the supporters have no time for this man or anything he says or promises.
Taking the ground was the last straw, when it was his money he could make all the wrong choices he liked. Turns out it was our money and then we resented all the wrong choices he made at our expense.
Now he is stuck in a corner, having taken what was not his to take with nobody listening to him anymore and nobody believing him either.
He is also serving up youth which did not work last season and he even had the audacity to blame some supporters for wanting that.
We are football fans who love the beautiful game and will not be mugged off by Ernest anymore.
Its time alright time for him to go.

If I was cynical I might think Ernest Pawn was doing this on purpose to make the club financially unviable and then the inevitable housing development could begin.
Of course that would never happen because we were guaranteed a 999 year lease. Already reduced by 900 years and we have all seen the binding paperwork of course.
Lalalalalala
PS got to dash I have a meeting with Father Christmas and the Easter Bunny and want to get a good seat before the Tooth Fairy arrives.

It has always been hard listening to Ernest and his inflated ego.
So in my opinion once the ground disappeared from club ownership,the man has no tangiable platform on which to ponce from.
Actions speak louder than words and thus far apart from taking the ground, there is a lot more of the latter and NONE of the former.
Sir Ann Wank, Ash Worn-Sphincter and Ernest Pawn are a massive negative on our beloved Iron.

Nice to see one Iron making several new signings!
Poor old Bax Mell!

At the meeting with fan groups Pawn confirmed he was challenging the ACV.
Apparently the basis for his challenge is that the Iron Trust did not ask his permission to place the ACV on the clubs (then) only asset.
Or………..wait for it……………. “He would have agreed it!”
Ian Hollowbrain of course deserves a lot of credit.
Contact him via email on :-
The ground may or may not be of any value.
Ernest has taken this as a piece of real estate that will only go up in value.
Remember in a year or so it will not have a football league club on it,a year or two later no ground on it.
Has anybody seen the terms of the 999 year lease and who signed it on behalf of us the supporters?
Just one more false promise.

Soap opera? Peter in his own head plays the JR Ewing, Mike Baldwin type of character.
When really he is a Benny from Crossroads!

Happy to be corrected.
He has only taken the Cods down once.
God bless this hero.
Give him the freedom of the Borough of Scunthorpe.
Well Sharpy I think we are having a poll!
I once attended one of Ernest Pawns ‘stand up shows’ where he was telling a joke about a new ground and that he had purchased the land for £1, an heckler asked if that was all signed and sealed. Pawn said “thats nothing to do with you, you don’t need to know about that”.
Pawn’s latest dismissive on taking the ground ‘Thats all it is really, its nothing else, it doesn’t matter’.
Well actually it does and the club debts were racked up by said person on compensation for numerous managerial teams and very poor signings.
If it doesn’t matter Ernest give it back! The £11 million debts were run up by you and you alone.

Iron-awe you are absolutely correct.
Apart from the old eyesight, hearing and needing the odd erectile pill there is nothing wrong (I hope).
It started out as a jibe about one more Cod defeat could make our season twice, but when I looked into it, it was more complicated.
Excellent a manager who is honest and decent.
Just confirms what we all know or suspect about the playing squad.
One small point why did the coaching staff trust the players to do the work when some had prevoiusly not bothered?
And why not question them as individuals to find out if they had indeed watched the video and understood what they were meant to be learning?

Somebody is definitely wiggling our winkies.
This is the second time a rumour of this type has emerged about this young lad.
To be brutally honest he has done nothing to merit interest from any club let alone Celtic.
Might I suggest that Dad Andy and Uncle Mike may just have enough clout and nous on how to play the football politics game. Enough to drop a ‘titbit’ to a journo or agent in order to generate interest around the young man especially at contract renewal time.
Now thats not to say he hasn’t got potential nor that he wont make it.
Alan will be making his final visit to Glanford Park on Wednesday 14th April at 11:00am.
Thats how much the Iron meant to him.

Well done Winterton Iron members £4600 is commendable in normal times but in lockdown its amazing, and to a well worthy cause.
Donny are waiting for Grant McCanns 12 month rolling contract to end at Hull!`
I would rather Ernest not have racked up £11 million in debts in the first place.
How much of that is compensation packages for numerous managerial teams?
Most of us do not surrender our home to pay off debts.
You also might like to ask where the money from the 180 flats on the car park is going?
Alas Bobby
Absolutely glad to be proven wrong on both fronts.
I do hope that comments such as mine spur people on in a positive way. They were coined after a very poor away loss at Barrow.
Our fortunes have changed after sending Cordner back and bringing in Taft, the former cost us goals and games.
Papered over the cracks today against an utterly dire Cod team.
Heard Hursts dulcit tones which I havent missed and no John Tonder thank heavens.
Locked in a room with those two monotone dour gits would be purgatory.
A good win today against a very poor Cods team, possibly the worst I have ever seen (though the most enjoyable to witness).
Maybe the title should be ‘Conference here they come’
Up the mighty Iron. Ironking was delighted 3 times this pm and Mrs King is going to make it 4 times tonight, or not as the case maybe.
I was there in the seventies OSG days, and I can honestly say I loved every minute.
Yes we didn’t perform very well in terms of league positions and were deemed a Cinderella club, but the club had a grain of honesty running through it from top to bottom.
We always had a goal scoring striker up front and the odd quality player who went onto better things.
The ground from its name to the stands oozed character and was loved by the supporters. The few fans we had at the time were ardent and many still attend to this day.
Above all those characteristics spawned a fighting spirit and never say die attitude which galvanised everybody connected with the club.
Dear Earnest Pawn
Having a track record of not listening to fans and actually challenging us to buy the club if we didn’t like the way you were running it.
1) What made you listen to the supporters who demanded you sign a team full of young in-experienced players?
2) Would you care to name those so called supporters?
3) Failing to answer Q2 would you care to admit that your stock phrase is complete and utter cock and bull?
4) Do you understand that among the many insults during your tenure that trying to blame the supporters for this latest faux pas is probably the greatest of those insults.
5) Do you also understand that whilst some supporters are frightened for the future of their club without your wife’s money, a great many others are frightened for the future of their club with you in charge of the purse strings?
6) Are you aware that the negatives against you now far far out way any positives?
Mick another lower point will be when we exit the Football League in the imminent future.
It will go even lower when we have an housing estate on the car park and no ground development.
Then we will all understand that the lowest point actually occurred way back in 2013 when Ernest Pawn arrived.
As an Iron born and bred all manner of information passes my way its a small Town and I have good sources!
Muzzy and Wilcox were in charge.
The initial reason is Covid-19 but given performances and Pawns track record, it could be something else.
In all Ernest he would Pawn the club at the drop of an hat.
Neil Cox is a nice bloke and local, sadly this did not do anything to inspire me.
Neil is inexperienced as a manager and Ernest Pawn (a difficult character) has assembled a very young squad, with no experienced ‘old ed’ to offer help and advice on and off the field!
You pay big bucks to young lads who are spoon fed via academies from an early age, and think the word GRAFT is some skin taken from your backside and placed elsewhere on the body. You can’t even give them a rollicking because because mummy or daddy in the family 4 x 4 never did.
Only kids from council estates had parents who taught them the harsh realities of real life.
Sorry but the writing was on the wall, National League here we come.
Another wafer thin rocky performance v Cambridge with more than a trio of mistakes. Maybe he needs to take timeout.
Making it harder each week to digest(ive), time for us and Rory to breakaway, and for him to find another club.
It might not be very nice but we would be cream crackers to persist with Rory.
October? just in time for the new home shirt to be available in the club shop.
Hope Russ is in the running for the Huddersfield job!
