It’s fine assembling what appears to be the best squad in the league if we haven’t either a tried and tested manager or a stadium to play in.

I usually apologise if I make a mistake, maybe that’s the difference between me and the likes of you? It’s a thing called manners, a word sadly lost to civilisation long ago.

This is a more interesting comment that some might think.

I’d definitely come under the “Hilton-sceptic” camp here but it is not because I haven’t got one good word to say about the club. It’s precisely the opposite. It’s because I care about the club that I will always question those running it. What are their intentions, what are their motivations, what is their background? Because I want what’s best for the club and I don’t want its name to be dragged through the mud. Look at what the last 10 years have done to us: we’re a complete laughing stock and even when we were flying higher under Swann we were deeply unpopular around the leagues for splashing the cash & a chairman who picked so many arguments with people in the game. I want Scunthorpe United to be respected as a club, not just for its achievements on the pitch, but for what it means to the town, for its youth teams, for its social engagement, in general for doing things the right way.

I found it almost impossible to proud of the club under Swann and I don’t want to feel that way again. Hilton, for me, has got off on completely the wrong foot and has made many of us very sceptical. It’s on him now to change that perception.

Ultimately, I’m an optimist and want what’s best for the club. I don’t want us to go the way of Bury, Darlington, Chester, or many other non-league clubs. I want a Scunthorpe United we can all be rightly proud of.

Up the Iron, up with questioning.

Cracking post.

I imagine Lord Kitchener will internally combust trying to process a dual position on the matter

I do hope so, she’s obviously not playing with a full deck.
Says one thing on here and something completely different under her own name on the Happy Clappers site.
Just an attention seeker, I could think of other names for her but I’ll save those for later.

Well, well, well Ellis, why are you so interested in anybody’s opinion on here?
I thought you’d made it plain on your Facebook thread that you have no time for either this forum, the owner and moderators or indeed the members of the forum.
Then why do you put yourself through the obvious trauma of reading and posting on here?
You even have your own thread in “non football”, perhaps you’d post your explanation in there.

Will I be receiving an apology?

No apology required or will be offered.
It was simply a case of pressing “quote” on the wrong post.
A senior moment plus it was early in the morning, perhaps too early.
As for the forum member it was intended for, I see he’s now on the fans Facebook page almost daring the forum owner to ban him, if it were me, I would oblige him.

This amused me from Michael Kent “there are a few who claim to know it all because rumours in pubs,”
On Iron Bru ,same person”been talking to a Gainsborough Trinity Director this morning and asked him if we get kicked out of Glanford Park would we be playing there and he said they haven’t been approached.”
Oops.
As for the rest,bunch of snides apart from Martin who has always been up front about his disdain.
It’s quite irksome that people who did nothing to help when it was more difficult to run a site like this with little or no money before the lazy the lazy method(Facebook groups) and start having a pop and calling users on here sad.

Worth noting that Michael and Ellis have both been clicking “like” on each others posts since their outing each others usernames on Facebook.

I see said Iron Bru contributor has resurfaced in the Blast Furnace on a couple of threads.
Probably thought his Facebook rant had slipped under the radar.

It’s worth noting that at the same time the same person who started a thread on Facebook slagging us all off was posting on Iron Bru.
His posts on here gave no clue as to his dislike of either the forum or the people who post on here, unlike his Facebook posts.

No Ironawe it was “A”David White, not the David White that joined tuther site on the 6th of June from what I can see.

It’s been confirmed that the David White on Facebook is in fact David Hilton, he registered his Facebook account originally before his name change by deed poll.
He only recently joined the fans group, which is where the confusion lies.

Once again, just because you haven’t seen or heard it does not mean something didn’t happen. Just for the record yes I am a Hilton supporter as at the moment he has given me no reason not to be. I will make my decisions about him based on what he delivers, not rumours from people claiming to be in the know on social media.

Still trotting out the same hyperbole without addressing the questions asked.
It was YOU who claimed Hilton was receiving abuse via private messages but you either can’t or wont offer any evidence!
it was YOU who appeared to lose your temper and aim abuse at anyone on the forum who politely asked for evidence of this abuse towards Hilton.
I suspect this claim of Hilton not feeling wanted by the fans of Scunthorpe United and this abuse he and people like you are claiming but can’t or won’t provide evidence of is in fact his pre-emptive exit strategy.

Hilton on Facebook, that’s if it really is him is claiming 3 more potential signings are having a medical on Friday.

So, are you insinuating that you have seen personal messages sent to Hilton?
If, as your post suggests that you have, please share them with us.
They’re obviously not very private if you’ve been afforded the privilege of viewing these messages.
Come on, out with it.

For those of us that aren’t registered on either Twitter or Facebook, would anyone post what has been said, incidentally the link to the Twitter thing comes back as an account that doesn’t exist.

People were using tor proxy to throw us off the IP addresses, they got proof readers to sort out typos, and then they got their friends to join and post on their behalf.

What I’m saying is that it can’t be obvious that someone connected to the Swanns is posting here. But then again we can’t be certain that they are not.

Quoted from the Nottinghamshire post.

“Andrew Nally, of Victoria Gardens, Watnall, will appear before Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, February 24.

The 44-year-old was charged with obstructing an emergency worker, resisting arrest and drink-driving in connection with the incident.”

This Max Bell, is he the same guy that’s just been elected to the council?
The same guy that was banned from Glanford Park?
If it is, I met him once, not an experience I’d like to repeat.

I was informed earlier that his Rolls Royce had gone, the number plate was DH11 RON, if you check the DVLA site you’ll find that registration number is no longer assigned to a vehicle.
