That’s £11.240 investment by the Iron Trust.
Thought you were not a member of the Trust awaywego. So why the interest?

[ironking]

Shares to me are a gift to the club you love. I have had shares since 1981 and the club under David Wraith had an SOS campaign ‘Save our Scunthorpe’ I bought £50 worth on earnings of £25 per week as an apprentice.

I am proud of that and subsequently over many years built up a number of shares. Until this ceased under PS.

I have had another £500 worth of shares since the club takeover.

They are absolutely worthless and always will be, it’s a donation for a bit of paper.

I will tell anybody this though

They are mine, and it’s my gesture of love and support for my club. It’s my own little piece of Scunthorpe United which makes me feel good and proud. Do I expect anything in return, of course not,

I play Euromillions and dream of a winning the jackpot so I can invest more in SUFC a massive part of my life which has over time stretched every personal emotion but more often then not pleasure.

The shares owned by Trust members surely allow all fans to feel the same way whether financially blessed or not.

AB and JS were serving up utter dross which the fan base hated.

Results October/November derisory with three 0-0 bore draws where we barely had a shot, a poor cup exit v Rylands and a complete lesson in football from Buxton who actually showed that three across the back could work.

Then there was an arrogance of its my way, like it or lump it, everybody is signed up and has bought into the system. Then just for good measure we had an absolute petulant display via the airwaves of Radio Humberside.

Then suddenly a complete change of system, better results and some entertaining football.

Mmmmmmmmmm……Somebody somewhere was listening and possibly felt exactly like we did. Because first and foremost they are supporters.

Thank ####.

Apparently the directors mentioned the ‘shop window’ being right and they were first and foremost fans.

That tells me that AB was spoken to about the shit, negative, top heavy defence lack of any style football we were being subjected to.

Thank F###.

[ironking]

As would one win from the 3 x 0-0 bore draws.

[ironking]

Job done in getting nine points, but struggled all the way to get them. This is not a promotion performing team, though it ought to be!

Chester are top, and they were utter shit when we played them. But alas we were worse under AB and JS’s no-attack policy, let’s keep 11 behind the ball and only go forward in the last 10 minutes.

Just think those 2 points would have put us top!!!!!!

[ironking]

It was this calibre of player which greatly helped exit the football league and subsequently the National League.

No thanks from me.

[ironking]

Out of the four people involved thus far with this group, three are complete and utter diddly-donks and the other a complete ####.

You decide!

[ironking]

Drops too deep as a centre forward when on for Whitehall, slows the game down and changes the dynamics of our own side.

It has cost us in the Brackley and Shields games as we end up playing in our own half, not clearing our lines hoofing it up to Beck which puts the ball 50/50 but more so 30/70 due to Becks win ratio..

[ironking]

Then there is the other minor issues of two games on the trot with teams beaten letting them back into it very cheaply, then hoofing the ball up for 17 mins v Shields thinking it won’t come back and cause us a problem.

Football is a possession game so why hoof it straight to them. Especially when the strike force has dropped deep ie Beck so effectively you are playing the game in your own half.

Needham Market won’t be any different I suspect.

[ironking]

Making hard work of it but yes it’s a goer. AB is determined to stop the ascendancy with poor substitutions and non sensical game management.

He seems to learn one thing at the expense of another.

[ironking]

Anti Iron Trust protagonists Earl and Jerry have caused people to join the Iron Trust.

That’s Iron….y

[ironking]

Apparently,Iron Trust membership is unsurprisingly growing due to the negative media attention by the likes of Stuart, Jerry and Earl.

It’s Iron…y really the very people who abuse the Trust are helping swell it’s membership.

[ironking]

I strongly suspect the club knows that this group are renegade and by them becoming legitimised allows a certain amount of control, hence club puppets Jerry and Earl being involved.

Michelle has played a blinder in exposing Stuart through praising him and encouraging him, thus tickling that massive, nay enormous ego.8

Hence we all know about him and have looked and explored why he is being lamented above and beyond many others who have helped save and sustain the club, despite him being an Hiltonite the very person whose apparent sole agenda was to destroy the Iron for his own gain.

Stuart has lapped up the adulation and virtually signed autographs among his faithful. The cynical have pounced, and the outing of Stuart regarding an apparent liking for ladies of questionable age is his downfall.

Claiming to have been hacked whilst carrying two parallel accounts won’t really wash.

Here is the crux, as a person who holds enhanced vetting, I cannot be seen to be associated with any person who may be involved with children in a sexual way.

If one was truly ‘hacked’ in this manner there are certain protocols to follow which is a form of protection for the innocent.

Showing someone a bank account statement would not be one of those steps.

[ironking]

This lad is the only player we have with a footballing brain and one of only two players who can score, if he leaves it’s season over, and you can kiss goodbye to even the last play off spot.

Whitehall, Harris and Carlton scored well over 60 goals last season in NLN, but couldn’t even manage a shot a game under hapless Andy.

No Roberts, no promotion.

[ironking]

One group are like a David Attenborough documentary the other more reminiscent of Balamory.

[ironking]

Only just catching up on the day’s events and not on social media.

I would be very surprised if the Iron Trust became embroiled in a social media spat it’s just not their style.

I like the ‘oven ready’ tag of them. When I look at the quality of the Trust board and those being associated with the new Unity group there is no comparison quite frankly.

Only Karen Lee has a modicum of my respect. The other 3 all openly slate the Trust at times, one does it in eight minute You-Tube videos, whilst Jerry and Earl do it verbally.

Stuart is the driving force for the fundraising and the brains behind the operation.

Jerry is just Jerry but very misguided at times.

The other one is not worth a thought!!!!

From Jerry on the Cults page. I think that’s fair. It wasn’t such a terrible miss.

‘It seems that Beck has become a target from some of the supporters along with the

manager. Beck’s confidence must be at an all time low and with so called supporters slagging him off how is his confidence going to grow.’

Jerry does not talk like that if you really know him, he thinks the same as we do, but can’t say it due to being a volunteer at the club.

This is posted to deflect away from Becks signing. Who spotted him, who wanted him, why play him, how much is he on and how much did he cost?

Can we get rid and recoup money or write it off as a learning curve?

[ironking]

9 points, and let’s face it we will probably beat Brackley, draw with Shields and lose to Market. will only keep us at pace with Kidderminster who are 4 points ahead and a game in hand which they will win.

Stan will play three different line ups with out any forethought or planning

[ironking]

Ian Ormandroyd, that twit from Forest who played one game, Alan O,Meara, Ron Wigg, Damien Henderson, Ian Miller, Dan Gallimore.

But he is right up there.

[ironking]

Could he be loaned to Keadby Town Dribblers reserves on an 18 month loan with no recall option in the deal?

[ironking]

Most of us would accept a point away at Chorley as a decent result.

But last week’s debacle at Rushall given their 7-0 drubbing by Spennymoor makes it imperative that we pick up all 9 points at home in these next 3 matches.

Those will allow us to keep pace with Kidderminster.

[ironking]

I am not retired yet, but watching this AB team is depressing.

Hated 5 across the back and probably always will, however Buxton showed me how it can work and played the system beautifully, I agree about Scarborough away but Buxton at home was a real eye opener. The 3 x 0-0 draws showed AB and AS were not really upto the job and the dogged belief in the 5 across the back system and claiming everybody was signed up to it really peed me and a lot of the fans off.

The Brogan loan looks like revenge on the fans as he was starting to play well and making AB look a complete plum.

I wasn’t a big fan of Danny Elliot, thought he spent too much time running anywhere but towards goal.

He could however score goals, so what were his wages compared to Botty Beck.

The real value is in how much we are/were paying per goal and on that issue Botty is a financial nightmare.

Good work but not a great advert for retirement.

Butler should set up to attack and not let the opposition play, then they would worry about us.

Other teams know he is negative, with limited tactical nous and a track record of bizarre non inspiring substitutions which usually turn the game against us.

Have you got a team in their quiz night next Friday.

You Deery,awaywego,Cass,CMC?

[ironking]

All fair comments, but my concern is with the manager and assistant clearly struggling at this level, what would happen should we gain promotion.

Though I am not optimistic given the inability to produce consistently good performances and results.

That’s why these nine points are critical!

[ironking]

The bloke was an imposter.

Someone said at the time he was a teacher at Foxhills, and got into a spot of bother over the incident.

Whether that’s true or not, I do not know.

[ironking]

Surely Wax Fell is more popular than Stan at the moment?

Just watched his monumental six yard box clearance instead of scoring v Rushall.

He’s a complete arse and shall be referred to as Botty Beck.

If we paid money for this player, some serious questions must be asked of those who discovered this signing, wanted this signing, sanctioned this signing and continue to play this signing.

He is getting worse by the week and one or two goals won’t change that.
