    Matt, I think you’ve missed out my predictions for 23/10/21. They were listed in Misterton Mick’s thread from that weekend.

    We need to start updating our satnavs for non-league destinations.

    Not necessarily!

    The National League is full of ex-league clubs who thought they were better than they were. Notts County, Barnet, Chesterfield, Stockport, Torquay, Wrexham, Southend ….. Grimsby!

    I’m desperate and cheap (according to Mrs NI) but wouldn’t last the week if someone told me I had to play Wood or Hackney or both, and I wasn’t allowed to give Cameron Wilson any game time.

    Then I’d no doubt be called into the chairman’s office on Monday morning to explain why I didn’t get the lads to sit back and defend the 1-0 lead.

    Anyway, I don’t really fancy driving to Blackpool for the interview!

    Final eight games of last season as interim manager.

    Need someone with more experience than that. It would be basically appointing another Neil Cox.

    Not for me!

    If it were an appointment until the end of the season he might.

    Swann brought back KvV from Northampton in a popularist move, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried the same thing again.

    It would boost the gates and buy him some time. But any appointment will be a gamble given where we are.

    And what of the players? From what I’ve seen this season some just simply aren’t good enough. I doubt if Sir Nigel himself can turn a cart horse into a thoroughbred!

    Remember, remember, the first of November!

    Nuno, Coxy and Schopp!

    I see no reason why a disastrous two seasons should ever be forgot!

    This is going to be interesting…

    Didn’t Swann say he would be starting work in a month on the ground? the slip road?

    Perhaps this is why he’s not attending.

    Waiting until the new road is built so he can “slip” away unnoticed once the supporters start baying for blood!

    Was at York City’s new LNER Community Stadium last weekend.

    Within the complex is – a swimming pool, bowling alley, amusements/soft play area, bar/restaurant, cub shops for both YCFC & York Knights RLFC, library and NHS teaching unit, as well as retail units still to be let out. Adjacent are a sports hall and a number of 4G pitches available for public use.

    And that’s National League North! No doubt this is what was envisaged for the Lakes site. This is what will attract the public. Not an old stadium with a wash and brush-up and a few apartments.

    Instead of starting low and aiming high Swann has done the opposite. And after falling out with the local council a “community stadium” in Scunthorpe is not very likely.

    Get your thinking cap on Peter!

    Probably got you down as “likely to have passed away before we get round to doing anything”.

    The “brand new” stadium died a long while ago!

    And I can’t imagine “refurbished stadium with flats in the car park” attracting anyone.

    I don’t quite know how it’s happened but he’s morphed somehow into a “much, much younger” Paul Musselwhite.

    Match practice?

    He’s probably seen more of the ball than any other player this season.

    if this happened to Scunny, would you support the club in lets say the same league as Brigg Town, I very much doubt it!!!

    What a strange comment!

    It would at least be “our” club once more.

    Well I was in a crowd of 3,146 at the LNER Community Stadium in York

    So a thousand more for a National League North match! I notice Notts County v Stockport County drew over 7,400 supporters and there were 6,470 at Blundell Park.

    Yet Forest Green who are top of the league had a similar gate to us!

    Traditional fan base size? Product on offer? Position in league?

    Doesn’t seem to be any one factor. More a combination of things.

    At York’s new ground yesterday the community spirit was ver much in evidence. Something I feel has been lacking at Scunthorpe lately.

    See what National League North is like for future reference.
