Worse 1st half than tues a bit better 2nd, they came and sat back got what they deserved, didn’t really think they were in the game that much but got 2 good shots away that Fitz did really well to keep out so got the man of the match, most of their attacks especially 1st half came from our sloppy play at the back, Evans after just 2 mins and Clunan on numerous occasions, ref mIssed a pen for us again but not to bad overall, not the prettiest of games but I’ll take that occasionally. Ps their number 9 right fatty but he out jumped our defender’s and was an handful all game.
Funny how there No.9 turned Evans on his arse in first half. Showed how poor Boyce and Evans are tbh.

Well that was absolutely dire.

I agree a solution without Glanford Park is really not a solution at all.
It would be a stay of execution which is better than we are facing currently but without debt free use of the stadium I cannot see any prospect of a return to the EFL.
It would be ideal if the stadium was fan owned or at least 51% fan owned to guarantee this kind of situation cannot happen again.
Owning and funding the football club is a much more attractive proposition if the ground is guaranteed available for running costs and a peppercorn rent.
I would happily chuck in a grand or so towards the Iron Trust owning or part owning the ground providing Peter Swann is prepared to sell at a realistic price. There may be the appetite and the means amongst fans to raise the £1.5m that would seem to be about a fair price. Of course if Peter Swann has folks queuing up to pay the reported £3m for some relatively unattractive land with no planning consent and significant demolition costs then I fear the ground is gone forever.
Totally agree if it can be done by the trust and that’s one word we need is that many would sign up to raise £1.5 million.

It’s north of the border as St.Johnstone supporter has donated. Unfortunately I could well be donating the other way as they are also in the s….

If Hilton goes, he will have himself to blame for the destruction of the football club for lying and giving everyone false hope. It’s his fault, not sceptical fans or even fans who dislike him (or have an agenda) for his lack of honesty putting our club at risk.
Oh, and I haven’t forgotten. He shares that responsibility with Swann, who brought us to this low and whose laziness and incompetence just handed over the club to dodgy Dave without a care what happens, until dodgy Dave started hindering his finances.
The Destruction of SUFC was happening a long time ago not just since January I would say. We don’t deserve to be told porkies but it’s nothing new. Seems some are really gleefully stating I told you so etc. But some of us just want to go see our team on a Saturday and enjoy that part of life.

Must be the tripe of land?
sorry typo strip of land! Wonder how many announcement/rumours we have had in 2023?
And how many came to fruition?

‘Citeh Middle east owners. Whats right whats wrong?”
I think that’s a fair point. I wouldn’t want Newcastle’s owners if I was a supporter and it may well have pushed me away to support a local non league team. I’d like to have a better idea where the money that’s funding SUFC is coming from. At the moment it seems invisible due to the lack of filed accounts of owners businesses on Companies House (the usual go to, to understand these matters). Take Oldham’s owner, for example. We can easily check out and verify how he’s made his money and how that might well be funding the club. Some say, it doesn’t matter to them. Fine, I appreciate that, but it’s pretty important to me and I suspect many others.
If a survey was carried out throughout the leagues on whether fans were happy with there owners bet it would be pretty high percentage whom weren’t.
Spending too much, Too little, Big ambitions, No Ambitions, Skeletons in the closet etc etc.
We all want the best for our clubs

The old wooden structure is costing 350k this summer to keep it operational .
We were sold the dream ‘5 years away,2 years away,7 years away ‘ by our Alan Partridge wannabe former ‘custodian’ as he liked to call himself (if you want a snapshot of how to decay a club to almost the depths of oblivion over a 20 year period,i suggest go on YouTube and watch the ‘John Fenty stadium tour’ )
I don’t think we are ‘getting moist ‘ over it , we just recognise undeliverable promises – we had them , the excitement and hope it brings ,but for that hope to be dashed over and over again .
Now we have hope ,realistic hope and ambitions not above our station but at least not the comedown from all the broken promises .
I hope Mr Hilton can deliver ,but track record and projects surely cast doubt even from the most ardent Iron fan -retail enabling developments are dead in the water and councils ponying up money for Football Club stadiums long gone – if your new primary funder can pull it off at all ,he will not just be the saviour of Scunthorpe Utd but also a miracle worker .
Wasn’t it Fenty that offered the Conoco/Philips or whatever it was called stadium too? Don’t think it was.
Seems many Cods are the understanding we were spending above when we were in the Championship. Don’t think Steve Wharton would state that. And still many grumbled about him. Nobody can win.
Don’t think there are many fans that are totally content with there owners. As we know very little to be made in football so as we always ask why would they want our club?
If it wasn’t Swann, Hilton who would buy Scunny?.Utd have Glazers they want rid of
