No. Owner first.

I think there is only one outstanding candidate for that accolade Awaywego but don’t get too down on yourself.
Second place is creditable.

I don’t mind loanees but am totally against them having “guaranteed” appearances. Remember the lad Thomas from Leicester. Got 30 odd appearances without ever having one that justified getting picked for the next game.
Those 2 hopeless lumps up front as well. So bad I cannot even remember their names. One from Chelsea and one from Fulham who ended up at Southend. Neither had the mindset to play lower league football and barely scored a goal between them.
If we take loanees they need to be prepared to work for their place with everyone else. Also parent clubs should cover all of their costs. They get all of the benefit.

There are 6 teams in the National League that get more people to their games than we got in League 1. Oldham are likely to be a seventh and possibly York an eighth with better budgets than we will have should the National League go with the salary cap as predicted.
1,000 season tickets probably means just above the 2,000 attendance mark if we do OK on the pitch. That is lower mid table in terms of National League attendances this past season so lets not get too excited about our playing budget for next season. Of course if you know who fecked off then the positive bounce might result in our 3,000 – 3,500 (ex) regulars turning up again.
I think I read somewhere all of the other possible large capacity venues had pitch relaying booked. London stadium had delayed theirs to host Soccer Aid – which obviously should be called Footy Aid.

Get ready for 5 weeks of restaurant menus, latest season ticket prices and otherwise radio silence from the club.
There would have to incomings at ownership level before we can hope for any positive news on the player front.

He is back at the club but he’s busy standing in for the absentee landlord.

Took about 10 minutes of his first game with us to see he was a winner.
Mind you if Duane Holmes had played from the start the result might have been different.

Wembley is busy with some glorified England friendlies.
Apologies Awaywego I thought the fact that West Ham playing there would qualify it as being their ground.
I will of course check the title deeds before making such a comment again. Mind you Swann has shown us how difficult it can be to determine exactly who owns a football ground.

He was pretty short in both decades.

At the moment I am kind of hoping the Cods win the play offs. Unless new owners arrive with a magic wand I am not looking forward to handing the fishy ones 6 points without a fight next season.

Reportedly on £4k a week last time and was certainly not worth anywhere near that.
Doubt he would come back for £400 a week.
Decent player in his day but that day has gone.

If you need cheering up search out Nigel’s message to Iron fans on the anniversary of the 2009 play off final.
You cannot not crack a smile with memories of that day and of a man who genuinely loved the fans.
Come one Nige you must have enough rich mates you can form a consortium with?

Guilty conscience perhaps?
Scrub that thought. He doesn’t have a conscience.

Same thing Cass.

Surely we will have to wait until August to have some non football to talk about.

It is very much to the Iron’s credit that under 12’s can attend for free.
Sadly the stuff the kids have had to watch these last 4 years has been likely to put them off football for life.
Not sure we are turning many into lifelong fans at the moment.

Why any Scunthorpe fan would give abuse to a man that scored 56 goals in 2 seasons, pretty much got us into the Championship and then went back to the team he grew up supporting totally escaped me.
Oh and made us £1.9m in the process.

A reasonable post Captain until you suggested Vose was good for us.
Only managed 2 appearances and I think they were as sub. Also McAtee was excellent here but only while Hurst was in charge. He can’t be arsed to play for anyone else.

We are fortunate he wont be in this National League club.
I’m pretty sure I’ve played for Sunday league teams he probably wouldn’t have got a game with and certainly he wouldn’t have got two.
Bet he has a cracking YouTube highlights reel that convinced Cygnet he was a player.
