Jimbob’s more like Fingerbob.
As effective as a football manager as Basil Fawlty was as a hotel manager.

Fingers crossed that there’s no Storm Sue or Storm Johnny or even a “Hyperstorm” (Sue & Reeds grandson) battering the AA next Tuesday.

A couple or eleventeen (Worzel) of you may have me down as “Doctor Doom” but don’t be fooled by that “Fas(s)aud”… I’m just an aging “Silver Surfer” who wants us to be “Victorious” in every game.
Come tomorrow, and there are just Four Fantastic days to go until we battle the “Galactus” known as Tamworth.

UTI !

And there’s the problem… we don’t even have a mere four fantastic players.
Only Fitz, Ogle & Butterfield are good enough.
The Avengers avenged that opening day of the season result.
They weren’t great either but they did what they do… win games.

If there is a positive outcome in favour of one team it will be the result of a mistake.

They are five clean sheets on the bounce.

Sorry guys. I hope I’m wrong!

Sadly; as expected.
Six clean sheets on the spin.

Only Fitz, Ogle and Butterfield are good enough.

12 points is definitely not insurmountable with 17 games remaining, especially as Tamworth would have 15 games left.

Absolutely not… but we’d be up against it.

Lambs are currently 4/6
Iron are 6/4

Let’s see what tonight brings and then have a look at those odds tomorrow.

I am worried that this game will end up being a no score draw, this result will suit Tamworth, and it will go a long way to them ending as automatic winners of the league.

PREDICTION – SCUNTHORPE 0-0 TAMWORTH

ATTENDANCE – 5,803.

As many as that?
How many are they bringing?

Bookies see the home form of Scunny as giving us the slight edge.

Iron: 69/50
Draw: 120/50
Lambs: 75/50

If Whitehall ain’t too rusty, he may Nick a goal to make it 1-1

Head: 0-1
Heart: 1-0
Gut: 0-0 or 1-1

Fingers crossed.

Let’s be honest the squad is a great squad of players for this level but we lack any real depth.

So… it’s not a great squad.

All the goals scored and conceded by the Iron from every game this season.
A minutes footage (build up & celebration) per goal and it’ll probably be about 2 hours long.

Living The Dream!

Every home game, one Fan gets to experience match day up close and personal as if he’s a player.

Report at the same time as the players.
Pre-match meal.
Change in to SUFC kit in the dressing room with the players.
Take part in or be around the warm up (where applicable… not including technical drills)
Pre-game managers talk / instructions.
Run / walk out with players.
Seat on the bench for the game.
Dressing room for half time managers debrief and instructions.
Back out with players – seat on bench.
Managers post-match debrief in changing room.
Change back in to civvies.
Post match meal in restaurant.

Cost: £1,000

Season income = £23,000 plus Cup games.

Some might say that this is too ‘intrusive’ and would be a hindrance on match days.
Ranting & raving and ‘information’ can be heard being transmitted from the dug outs in every game – what we never see or hear is the private discussions in the changing room.

A pre-event meeting between the Fan and the Club Secretary could be used to discuss the day and a code of conduct and other guidelines to be reviewed and agreed to.

What an experience!
The closest you’ll ever get to ‘living the dream’

You want me to pay a grand to spend all that time with Dean??

Pay a grand to ensure he stops in pboro today and doesn’t come back…

Short trip for him today.

Shame it’s not run by the club though.

Popular with us older guys.
But, because it’s walking, it could be an open age tournament.

Have the Iron got a walking football team? Apparently there is a lot of money to be made by letting a load of old gits dodder all over the pitch, and it can get competitive.

Just a thought. UTBI

It was one of my other thoughts.

Walking 7 a side Tournament
16 teams
4 leagues of 4 teams
Top team from each league go through to semi-final
10 members per team
£10 entry per player
£10 x 10 x 16 = £1,600
Run it monthly sept to June

Winners name goes on the trophy which they bring to defend at the next tournament.

10 x £1,600 = £16k
