That first 45 was a difficult listen. Gotta feel for those who travelled!

[SODIron]

I think the paperwork hadn’t completed in time.

The car park situation is a little frustrating for me. Living in rural Yorkshire, I have to drive when I come to matches. I guess I will be one of many who will start annoying the locals when I park on the local estate streets!

[SODIron]

Due to work I couldn’t make the match, how did Jones do in goal?

[SODIron]

Could turn out to be a decent loanee, according to Transfer Market he has a value of £200,000. I know he’s been on loan with struggling Gateshead this season, where he managed to bag 5 goals for them.

[SODIron]

Although not entirely unexpected, it is a shame to see him depart. Loved seeing his goal at York!!! He will be a tough act to follow, let’s hope Andy and the team have their eyes on a quality replacement.

[SODIron]

That pitch looks dreadful…I played on better surfaces in the Barton League.

[SODIron]

If we a genuine play-off contender then this is the sort of match that we should be winning, and winning by 2 clear goals as a minimum.

I think it will likely be a cagey start, and we’ll likely go in at half-time 1-0 to the good. The end result will see us winning 3-0!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. Here’s hoping Santa brings us another promotion for Christmas!

Can’t wait to be back to a full squad again. The difference Ewing and Roberts made was very noticeable. We’ve definitely missed them!

Nice to see a clean sheet on the board, and a tidy finish from Oteh. I’m not reading too much into the result though as teams in the National League tend to be a lot more physical and direct at times.

[SODIron]

Everytime I look at the table I am truly shocked to see how impressive our start has been. Just one defeat, and we could argue that a few of those draws should have been wins for us!

That said, I’ve supported Scunthorpe United for too many years to get carried away. I am taking it one match at a time, counting up to 50 points. Then after that I will start to allow myself to dream of the play-offs and potential promotion!

Quickest way to £1,000,000? Start with £10,000,000 and buy a football club!

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!!!

[SODIron]

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!

4,862 with 126 away supporters.

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.

[SODIron]

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

I’m a ST holder so didn’t have any options to pre-book/pay for parking!

[SODIron]

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?

[SODIron]

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.

[SODIron]

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.

[SODIron]

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.
