Thought the Club had moved forward from banning fans but obviously not !
It’s a downward spiral for the Club doing this sort of thing especially if abusive language was used by Butler who is an employee of the Club.
So a fan / customer is banned.
So are the Club taking action against their employee if the report of him using foul language is correct ?5 users thanked author for this post.
If I remember correctly there was no division of fan groups until this Unity Group appeared on the scene.
We already had several long established well run Fans Groups and why was there a need for another ?
Seems to me it was to feed the egos of some of the members of Unity !
It just seems Unity go from incident to incident and the publicity this brings is not the sort the Club needs.
One thing is for sure the last name that should have been chosen is Unity !2 users thanked author for this post.
UNITY. They don’t know the meaning of the word.
Seems like they are showing their true colours.
Just shows how big a fan that Dave was if he is just walking away.
No doubt he will attach himself to another Club next Season !1 user thanked author for this post.
I just cannot understand why the Club are all over this Dave and Maw who don’t really represent anyone but don’t seem to have any time for the Trust who only have 1200 Members or 25 % of the current fan base.

If we get promoted how the hell will we survive.
The Club cannot even afford the grass to play on.2 users thanked author for this post.
Lots of opposing fans used to come into the Donny Road End but usually did nt stay very long.
Fighting was common in the Donny Road End in 60s and 70s and often after games outside.
Different times and no CCTV so if you did nt get arrested at the time there were no knocks on the door weeks later.
Iron fans always stood in Pontoon Stand and again no segregation.1 user thanked author for this post.
Was at Swindon. Went on Special Train. There was no segregation at the game.
In fact in those days not much segregation at any ground1 user thanked author for this post.
It seems to me that the Club back Dave and Unity because they do what the Club wants where as the Trust is democratically run by the members.
If the Trust are prepared to raise money in return for shares is this really a bad thing ? The Club still get the money.
One thing is certain you cannot continually run a business by asking for hand outs from your customers or in our case fans.1 user thanked author for this post.
I cannot understand why Michelle and the Board are all over this Dave guy and the Unity Group but seem to distance themselves from the Trust who are a well run audited democratically elected group who with around 1200 members represent 25% of the current fan base.
Is it because instead of giving hand outs to the Club they want shares in return so the fans who donate get something in return ?
Having people run round with buckets asking for donations to this and that does not look like a very professional way for the Club to get money.
I see there is also a just giving page but if you subtract the bucket money and the one donation of £500 the uptake on this seems very slow.4 users thanked author for this post.
Went to Boston and had one of the 50 seat tickets. In the area allocated more empty seats than the 50 Iron fans !
No segregation at all in the seating area or below the stand in the food and toilet areas.
In fact we moved nearer to the centre of the stand for a better view.
Who ever arranges ticketing for away fans at Boston cost their Club thousands of pounds yesterday in lost revenue but also stopped Iron fans from watching their team.1 user thanked author for this post.
Will local businesses and potential investors want to get involved with a Club attracting these sort of people and also a Club allowing these sort of people to be involved. There must be someone at the Club allowing these people to seem to have free run of our Club. That person or persons need to be gone from our Club.
