    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.

    Maybe we can get Tom Zanetti to come on at half-time wearing a couple and hurling abuse at the Chorley fans?

    John Duncan all the way, Alan Clarke got us relegated the following season without a single away win.

    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.

    My thoughts on the CEO’s statement. A lot of words to say nothing! I am still struggling to understand the value he is bringing to the club.

    While it’s possible the CEO has made contributions behind the scenes, from what I can observe, there isn’t much in the way of clear evidence to demonstrate substantial value added to the club. If he has had a significant impact, it would be good to see concrete examples of his achievements that justify the role and salary.

    With Scunthorpe United clearly feeling the strain financially, it raises the question of whether the club is truly benefiting from keeping a CEO on the payroll. Cutting the CEO position could be a significant step toward lowering the monthly wage costs.

    The FC100K debacle exposed the naivety and inexperience of the board.

    I think the Chester fans summed him up quite eloquently…their chant of “W@nker, w@nker, w@nker” echoed my thoughts exactly.

    Whilst I agree that we do need investment to become truly sustainable and progress up the football pyramid, the ‘My Football Club’ should be no where near any professional football club.

    No Whitehall = showing up to a gunfight with a banana.

    Or showing up to a football match with Beck…either way, you won’t be successful!

    I would imagine that the lure of a 44 week contract is not that attractive for most professional footballers and as a consequence, we will likely struggle to attract all but the most desperate of players (i.e. those who cannot get a contract elsewhere).
