Well done Rene, you wished the Howe signing into existence.

His goals couldn’t go ignored.

Fingers crossed that he and Dan hit 20 each this new season.

The dynamic duo next season!

The ‘Declan Howe showreel’ video Gainsborough Trinity have just posted is worth a watch. He looks to have a good instinctive eye for goal, reminds me a bit of Billy Sharp.

As I’ve being saying for long enough… he’s a natural born goal scorer!

Can we get Callum back? He’s a solid CH who can play.

[Rene Artois]

AWESOME!
SIMPLY AWESOME!
Dan & Dec.

Another Signing

The List

Keep up Rene your only ten and a half hours too late mate,lol.

A technical glitch at my end.
I think my internet was stuck in a time lock – it was leading me to believe the announcement had just being made.
Not sure why it was playing up but it seems to have self resolved now.

The List

Which leads me on to the planned 3 day music extravaganza. So they are hoping to attract 10,000 per day to watch unknown local amateur bands and tribute bands.
So they are hoping 30,000 of the 81,000 of Scunthorpe will pay good money for this. Jesus… ain’t going to happen.

3 days – 3 lots of costs – maximise your loses boys!

People who want to go to a festival want a muddy wet field where they can pitch their bivvies, smoke their happy fags and have a roll around in the sludge with a member of the opposite sex or same sex or an alien / ET.

If you really want to try it, test the water with a single event first.
How did the giant screen movie nights do a couple or three years ago?

Attendance figures?
Sold tickets v comps.

[Rene Artois]

Turnout looks embarrassing.
Guessing these are the Friday night local bands?

[Rene Artois]

10,000?
lol

Beck isn’t 36 years old either so the Rene comparison with Muldoon is tenuous to say the least.

The age of Beck & Muldoon is irrelevant.

Deerey thinks Muldoon could do a good job one league lower. [maybe he could?]

Someone at SUFC thought Banjo could do a job one league lower.

Banjo’s stats and consignment to the bench by Stan shows that he couldn’t.

Beck could flourish next season. Got a good feeling about it.

If he couldn’t notch in NLN then extrapolation would suggest he’s going to find it even harder a level higher.

I get that. But still think he could do a good job for us a league lower and the experience would be handy.

Someone at the club had identical thoughts on Banjo!

Dec will be in the National League next season talks have already taken place with the top Lincolnshire club.

NL – Lincolnshire – SUFC / Boston.
Awesome if he’s joining us.
Happy days?

[Rene Artois]

No.

[Rene Artois]

Bring back Butty.
Good size. Good player.
He’d do a job.
12 goals from midfield this season.

[Rene Artois]

Give him a go!
38 goals this season!

[Rene Artois]

A massive thank you to this WONDER WOMAN for the turnaround in our fortunes & future.

The first step of our return to better times.

Well done Michelle!

Attendances
The last time the club’s average attendance exceeded 5,000 (5,548) was in season 2010-11; in the Championship. In the Championship!

The mean of average attendances in the following 13 seasons is 3,857.

Our average home attendance this season is 3,850.

Our average home attendance last season was 4,204

So, we’re just a smidge over 350 per game down on last season.

Cost benefit analysis – what would we have to spend to get back to the ‘heady heights’ of the Chanpionship and an extra 1,691 (average) bums on seats each game?

You’d have to be insane to throw money at that equation!

Average attendance 2024/25: 4,399

Carlton could well make a name for himself in a fortnight he’s peaking at just the right time for this season’s finale.

Prophetic!

Let’s not get too carried away with yesterday as the meat and gravy is next week.

Played well in parts yesterday. Went pretty narrow when Roberts got crocked which wasn’t so good.

A 4 meat carvery with all the trimmings and copious amounts of condiments served up.

How proficient is anyone in the first 6 months of a new job / profession?

NL & NLN/S… difficult leagues to gain promotion from due to 1+1

[Rene Artois]

All four clubs promoted to the NL at the end of last season (2023/24) survived at that level (2024/25) and retain their status for season 2025/26.

Consolidation is probably the name of the game next season?

Back to you Stan.

[Rene Artois]

Saw him for our U18s & Reserves a number of times.
Plenty of YouTube footage of his time at Celtic.
I was already aware of one nasty injury he sustained up there.
He was our youngest ever debutant until Hill pulled his version of Fergie’s Fledglings and usurped him by fielding the boy appropriately named Crib(b).
It’s in his blood – Dad & Uncles.
Celtic paid money for him.

Arsenal and others were interested in him.

The (SUFC) Young Ones

I hope he does come back and does well for us, re-igniting his career.
Good luck Joey.

Are the predictions made on a week by week basis, monthly or for the full season up front? I’ve never taken part.

[Rene Artois]

Probably an old pals gesture for him to be able to regain his fitness?
I think he’s probably better than NL and I’m sure Andy will get him fixed up at least one step up?

[Rene Artois]

Have Celtic released him?

[Rene Artois]

The lad learned and did well in the end.
Let’s not forget, we could have very well ended up as a Phoenix club clogging it on Quibell Park.
A baptism of fire for Stan!
Well done lad.

Well done Danny Whitehall.
Dan & Carlton will do us proud next season.
With 2 goal scorers – you’ve always a chance.
CR10 has being prolific from his position this season.
A couple or 3 quality additions to the squad and we will be challenging next season.
Bin Beck.

For a play off spot… not champions – I should have stated that in my morning post.
