Just turned radio off, working on a Saturday is depressing enough, being 2-0 down only adds to the pain!

After the last few weeks I suspect we are all enjoying a few moments of relative quiet.

Whilst I do appreciate that there are undoubtedly negotiations going on in the background, I do feel that in the light of the fact that home match tickets were taken off sale and the next home match is just over a week away, the club should really offer a statement.
Supporters do need to know what the contingencies are for people who have already purchased match tickets and season tickets. Should the worst happen, will we be transferred to a seat in the stand at Gainsborough Trinity, offered standing tickets, or nothing.

Great news, looking forward to seeing how we can help retain the ground.

Indeed, I am hoping to see part 2 of the infamous David Hilton article in The Athletic.

What are the odds of the Scunthorpe faithful being treated to a “Let’s be havin you!” moment from Michelle?

Forget the directorys and supporters, we should take a moment to think how the club staff must be feeling right now too. I suspect all will be frantically checking their bank balance tomorrow morning.

I Hilton be like “Gainsborough Trinity are all lying trolls. I’m going to ban them from my ground, oh wait..”

The way things are going, I doubt whether the club actually paid for the signage, never mind the ground.

Reading through the above, the main points are:
1. The club have not decided about playing matches at Gainsborough (yet)
2. WHAM can no longer afford the legal battle with Swann, and he expects to lose if he does
3. It’s all the fault of everyone else that WHAM chose to buy the club and ruin is family’s inheritance
4. Some Scunthorpe supporters have said some nasty things about his daughter
5. Some Bury supporters said even worse stuff about his daughterMy gut feeling is that point 1 will happen because of point 2. As for his children’s inheritance, no one forced him to buy Scunthorpe United. That was his choice, and his choice alone. With regards to point 4, if true then he has every right to feel aggrieved, and as for point 5, that has nothing to do with Scunthorpe United and / or its supporters.

You can tell a lot about a person by looking at the people they choose to surround themselves with.

It is extremely unlikely that some knight in white armour will come in and save the club.
Let us be realistic, who would want to take on the debt of this club? With no assets of real value, bills mounting daily, and with no prospect that the club can meet the demands of the creditors we are technically insolvent. Add to that the winding up petition that we received today, and the one that is about to arrive from HMRC, and I suspect even administration will not save us.
All in all, David White-Hilton-Anderson-Mellors has managed to finish what Swann started. The light that was once a well respected, community club plying their trade in the Football League is about to be extinguished, and there is sweet FA we can do about it!
A sad day indeed!

I cannot get over how many supporters are defending WHAM on the Fb cult page. They’re actually blaming anyone but Hilton for the fact that Hilton has not been paying the bills and doing what he said he was doing!
The easiest way for Hilton to stop the doubters was to pay the outstanding wages, pensions, tax, and creditors etc. If he had simply done that, none of these issue would be here today. It really is *that* simple. Trouble is though, I suspect (as I have for a while) that he has ran out of funds and he is using the keyboard warriors, the media, and those pesky creditors wanting payment as scapegoats.

Maybe we should have live streamed a lettuce and a photo of David White-Hilton-Anderson-Mellors to see which lasts longer?

Am I the only person who had the Simon Bates ‘Our Tune’ theme playing in their hard whilst reading Hilton’s statement?
