    The result of the last few matches will have the rest of the division watching. If we can keep this squad together, and perhaps add a couple more, we will have all the ingredients for a very successful season.

    And I even got to send a video clip of Ewing’s penalty to my daughter and her boyfriend during the match last night. Bragging rights are in full effect!

    Daz, massively disappointed mini SOD wasn’t injected with claret and blue. Or is it the boyfriend forcing his wicked way on her?

    It’s actually one of my elder daughters…I have one who lives in Leeds and supports York City because her boyfriend supports York, and another who lives in South Cave and is an armchair Scunny supporter (she can’t be at the match today as she is down in London today).

    It could be worse, they could support Leeds and Hull!!!

    Living just 9 miles outside of York, and my daughter and her boyfriend being York City supporters means that this match is extra special for me. I have a ticket for the away end, and my daughter and her boyfriend will be in the home stand, behind the goal.

    It’s not just points that are stake, it’s bragging rights for the next few months!

    Just in case anyone does not know:

    Midweek car parking is free after 6PM at the Vangarde shopping center. The car park does get busy on match days, and getting out of the car park does take some time.

    Also, if you’re travelling on the A64, watch out for the average speed camera’s. They’re tuned to 40 mph, so stick it on cruise control and relax.

    Most definitely the hardest match of the season so far. It will be good to see how AB and the squad do against FGR. A point would be a good result for us, and if we get all three, I may just start dreaming!

    I don’t expect Scunthorpe United to gain promotion this season, and reaching the play-offs would in my opion, would be beyond what the current squad can expect to achieve. Realistically, I expect us to finish the season somewhere between 12th-16ht place.

    I suspect we will find it tough going tomorrow, and wouldn’t be shocked if we were the wrong side of a 2-0.

    Still no idea how to purchase tickets for the car park. The official Twitter (X) account of SUFC say’s you just choose “Add On” in the app, but I cannot see that anywhere. Anyone else had joy?

    I have to agree with the sentiments on this thread, anytime Scunthorpe United have done well we have always had a good, solid, dependable goalkeeper. It is early days, but from what I’ve seen of last season, and the pre-season, it is clear that Mason is a little rough round the edges. I feel there is a good keeper in there, however I have to wonder if he will be up to the demands of being a number 1 in a highly competative league.

    Statements like “this is a make or break season” mean that Butler is putting unecessary presure on Mason.

    I know finances are restricted however, I think we should really be looking to bring in a number one and send out Mason on a half-season loan to gain some first team experience. Failure to do so will likely cost us more in the long-term.

    You gotta think York will be strong favourites; over the 46 matches they were so far ahead of third place and they’ve strengthend their squad over the close season.

    As good as Clunan was in the second half of the season. I feel that he would struggle to be as ‘influencial’ in the National League. Whilst I am sorry to hear he is departing, I feel that this may actuallly turn out to be a blessing in disguise (as long as the club recruit well).

    The faux outrage some posters are showing over this is really much ado about nothing. I guess that’s what happens when we in close season.

    Heard some rumours that there is going to be some player announcements today. Does anybody know if this is true?

    With players starting to announce their departure via social media we definitely need to be getting some news about contract extensions and / or new signings from official club sources soon.

    This incident underscores the board’s lack of due diligence in vetting the Stadium Weekender event. It seems probable that most, if not all, board members were unaware of Dougie Joyce’s chequered history.

    Please, by all means, retreat to your brew and ponder the ancient mystery of why someone might respond to a public post on a public platform. It’s a real noodle-scratcher. Like writing a billboard, then being scandalized that someone read it without your permission.

    And as for the “simple solution”, if unsolicited opinions bothered you, you might want to reconsider shouting yours into the void of the internet. You don’t get to toss confetti and then clutch your pearls when someone comments on the mess.

    But hey, I hope the tea helps you find the answers you seek. Maybe throw in a biscuit of self-awareness while you’re at it—goes great with denial.

    Ta-ta, and don’t scald yourself on that hot take.

    I have no interest in reading about how Hilton wants to reach for the stars; based on the evidence that we all saw with our own eyes he (Hilton) should never be allowed anywhere near a football club. His tenure as Scunthorpe United was full of false promises, outright lies, and sowing division amongst the fans.

    I really hope that the supporters of Matlock can see through the BS spouted by Hilton and his lickspittles and say no to his offer.

    This season has taught us that AB sets up his team very negatively when playing away, and I cannot see tomorrow being any different. I hope I am wrong however; I think we will get steam rolled by a determined Hereford and will be on the wrong side of a 3-0.

    No matter how much you disagree with what another fan is shouting, there’s absolutely no excuse for resorting to physical violence. Everyone has the right to support their team without fear of being attacked. If it were me in that situation, I wouldn’t hesitate to defend myself and put a swift end to the assault.

    Last weekend’s loss has ramped up the pressure on the squad. Facing Spennymoor, a tough team to beat, makes Saturday’s match a must-win if we’re serious about securing automatic promotion. Anything less than a victory will likely see us drop from the top spot.

    As for my prediction, it’s hard to say… If we play like we did against Chester, we’ll come out on top. However, given the team’s inconsistency, my ‘fear index’ is understandably high.

    Phats and Small. I think they’re cashing cash at the moment. I actually watched them play a small set at the Elvington firework show last November (and I am not joking).

    As someone with a broad taste in music, a passion for live performances, and a regular attender of festivals, I was initially excited when this event was announced. However, since then, it has become increasingly clear that the organization behind it lacks professionalism.

    With no official line-up released, a website devoid of essential details such as the daily running order, and a general absence of enthusiasm surrounding the event, the outlook for this event is far from promising.

    Given the ongoing rumours regarding licensing issues and council permissions, I would be genuinely surprised if the event goes ahead at all. Considering Tom Zanetti’s “performance” at the Chester match, this level of disarray sadly comes as no surprise.
