You never know if things will change with a new owner UTI99.
We could be lucky and get someone who runs it as a hobby.
Before you know it we could even own our own ground and have a season or three in the Championship.
Knowing our luck though we will end up with an astute businessman.

An indisputable fact is that the financial and footballing fortunes of the Iron for the last four years are a net result of the decisions of the ex chairman. To be fair to Peter Swann he has never said anything to contradict that.
If you are happy with our financial and footballing performance in that time then you have nothing to protest about. So that category seems to be UTI99 and the odd random Cod that occasionally comes on here.
The rest of us should probably support any or all protests.
Will it change anything – very unlikely. It may convince a prospective new owner that there is something worth saving here.

It might help having someone who knows a bit about football leading (in theory at least) the club.
Realistically it probably is just someone else to share the blame with Keith Hill.

Spot on Les.
One of our best away performances this season and yes I know it’s a low bar.
Great to see a decent performance with Lewis, Gallimore, Rowe and Cribb having come through the youth system here. If you throw in Watson who wasn’t here as a youth but has never played league football anywhere else suggests a tiny light at the end of our very dark tunnel. Especially when you think Pugh and O’Malley would have been playing if they were fit.
You can send Taft off on his holidays Keith.

I think some on here might be in for an even more disappointing Saturday than we usually have if you think he is just going to write off his wasted £15m and quietly ride off into the sunset.
First time I have been looking forward to one of his statements since he announced the new stadium and imminent Championship football.

Give the lad a break. The lad hasn’t sat his GCSE’s yet and he is playing in midfield in a shite team.
He has a way to go but he has some skill and more heart than a few around him. Personally I dont think we should put a 16 year old into that situation in multiple games but let’s not be criticising him.
Plenty of older hairy arsed pro’s around him more deserving if you need to criticise players.9 users thanked author for this post.
The club might be worth £15m in the sellers head. Doubt it’s worth more than 20% of that in the head of the potential buyers. That’s with the ground included.

We’ve only had 1 miracle worker as a manager in my near 60 years and even he had to suffer 1 relegation albeit from the Championship.
I agree though Ferrite I wasn’t expecting Hill to keep us up but a glimmer of hope didn’t seem too much to ask.
Obviously it was. The other thing that now worries me is the ringing endorsement of Hill from the chairman.
With his track record we should be very afraid.

More than happy to leave after 72 minutes. Couldn’t bear to stay much longer than that last Saturday.

Suggest we wait to find out what triggered the resignation before deciding who the devil is.
I know who my money is on.

It’s some achievement to be comfortably the worst player in a performance like that but Taft managed it.
Great post Jackie. I agree today we looked like one of Cox’s teams once they scored. No plan and no idea. Starting to have concerns about Hill.
Finally BS next home matchday if you are painting your fence can I come and watch if I give you a tenner?

He had a poor game today. He was nearly as bad as the other ten.

Obviously a senior moment Mick because I was actually there.

The spade has been at work digging our grave.
Scunthorpe United RIP!
How about a protest march on Easter Monday at 14:00. Coffin draped in claret and blue. Pall bearers and wreath, the full monty. March from OSG site to the clubs graveyard at the Sunken Sands.
Those that can still stomach going to the match watch in silence (that bit is easy these days). Wont affect the team as we will be relegated by the anyway.
Are we prepared to watch this happening without a word of protest?

Probably done with the best of intentions Alcy. Not worth the hassle for you (or Bru) to get into legal issues.
I do think some kind of protest regarding how the club was allowed to get into this position is called for. Apart from gate gate the Iron supporters are accepting a dire situation without a protest. Having a moan on here is neither useful or effective.

I think Mansfield’s ground is the oldest still in use by a professional team but Bobby didn’t say it had to still be in use.
