Ok, so the plan to move the training of our players to Ilkeston has been abandoned. I don’t know if there is still time to save the academy.

The main problem for me is playing in NLN next season. Only one promotion place to play for, it’s like an elephant’s graveyard. I fear we might get stuck with it…

Why aren’t the FA and EFL looking into this?

Ask Man United fans, they have had this from the Glazer family for many years now.

[Lord Kitchener]

He wanted to try something different re the training of our players, but it was a step too far and rightly or wrongly, the move led to much mistrust from us fans. So much to consider here, and I personally was against the lads training in Ilkeston. But whatever his true motives were, we cannot blame him for being pissed off.

I have to admit that I don’t know where in Scunthorpe the lads actually train. But have to assume that the facilities are substandard. So thanks for trying to find an alternative Mr Chairman, sorry but taking any aspect of The Iron out of North East Lincolnshire is unacceptable to us as fans of the club. And now you know!

North Lincolnshire Irons,

Spam fritters in Foxhills school canteen were proper good, and also cheap. Happy days.

What is happening to Trump now is a test case. With the buzzards circling above, they will do everything they can to get this over the line. If they manage to punish him enough, more charges will follow. But if he walks away from court still able to launch a leadership campaign, they will probably have to wait. No point chasing it now if he might well shrug them off. My bet is that they will leave it until the next elections. Not just to discredit him further, but to interfere with his campaign.

Even then, it doesn’t come without risks…

[Lord Kitchener]

I must admit, when I saw the title of this thread, I thought about reminding you that this is the Non Football forum. Hey ho!

[Lord Kitchener]

You actually quoting yourself there Siderite…

[Lord Kitchener]

I think you got him mixed up with sleepy Joe there. He would probably have a coronary if he was persecuted like the Trumpster is being. Trump will fight like hell, and might even use the situation to gain more political success.

Just Iron

[Lord Kitchener]

I can understand the temporary move to a training pitch, like the one he describes. I really hope, for all our sakes, that the conspiracy theories are all well wide of the mark, and Scunthorpe United will not be merged with anyone. Full stop.

[Lord Kitchener]

Only joined Bru a couple of days ago, and is already posting this crap. Hmmm…

I have never been to Germany, would like to go. I like beer and sausages!

That is nothing to do with the Codheads though.

[Lord Kitchener]

He probably did save our club from administration. But with major assets still belonging to Peter Perfect, we are still in a precarious situation.

Lies were also told regarding the facilities that still belong to Swann. Having said that, we should be used to being lied to by now.

[Lord Kitchener]

They are not our ‘friends’, never have been, never will be.

Ok, so Ilkeston is about a one hour and fifteen minutes drive from Scunthorpe. It’ll be a pain, but it is better than paying Swann to use what is supposed to be our own facilities. I hope an alternative is found soon, or that someone more sympathetic to the Iron takes the land around Glanford Park off the hands of that money grubbing bast**d.

Dark days are getting darker. ☹️

[Lord Kitchener]

This is why I’m having trouble getting my head round this. In the ‘Grimsby’ Telegraph, Hilton said this. (Below.)

“Mr Hilton said: “I’m pleased to say the takeover has now been completed, and the deal includes the football club, stadium and surrounding land.“

Is that what could be described as a falsehood?

[Lord Kitchener]

The manager has not had enough time to settle in, nor has the new players. If this is a long term plan for next season in NLN then it is on the new chairman, and very disappointing…

It is what it is unfortunately. But sacking yet another manager is not the answer. How much further must we sink before we learn?

[Lord Kitchener]

The brutal truth of the matter is that The Iron are seriously out of their depth in this match. I only hope the guys can get their head’s together in time for the York City match on Tuesday.

Just been to Glanford Park and the players were out training. No sign of Chapman but there was Foster and another goalkeeper I didn’t recognise.

From what you did see, was the goalie you saw another kid? Or did he look old enough to have a bit of experience??

[Lord Kitchener]

The goalkeeper situation is what worries me. Without Chapman we are left to rely on an inexperienced young keeper who is, let’s say, somewhat leaky.

I am usually a glass half full person, so on this occasion I hope I’m wrong…

[Lord Kitchener]

Mathematically we can still stay in NL. If our last game is anything to go by, we just might do it. A drop into NLN would be a disaster, even compared to the standards we have seen in the last few years.

We really can’t afford to be stuck in that league. I hope this new regime understands how much of a tragedy that would be.

UTBI – Always

[Lord Kitchener]

3 – 1 to United. Ten Hag is one hell of a manager. Still competitive in all competitions, even without a centre forward. No chance of them underestimating the Seagulls, that is the kind of mistake that you can’t afford to make.

[Lord Kitchener]

12/1 is fantastic in a two horse race, blimey anything can happen. Gonna get a piece of that!

UTBI

[Lord Kitchener]

We get a great win, and are rightfully pleased with it. We should celebrate every point we get, because we are badly in need of them.

There is no point in criticizing the team when they lose, if we can’t bring ourselves to praise them when they win…

MK Iron, open hearth iron, cassidystash

[Lord Kitchener]

I was working yesterday, and saw loads of Brighton fans going to and from the match. There was no way they would lose at home to Grimsby, the stakes were too high. They will get beaten by Man United in the semi final. But that is not for this thread.

[Lord Kitchener]

Terrible luck tonight, I feel sorry for the lads…

The EU flag is not a national flag and doesn’t count. But yes I would burn the bloody thing.

I think that the junior doctors strike is much more of an issue than a pathetic ex footballer who, let’s face it, won fuck all.

Pay the guys, it’s terrible that people who make coffee get more money.

All flags ok with me, I just think that you and your ilk have the biggest problem with UK and England flags.
