Awaywego, I believe the Scunthorpe United Trust has around £800,000.
I could be wrong, I ain’t no businessman, but that’s how I read their accounts on Companies House.1 user thanked author for this post.

My principles tell me not to go anymore as he is deliberately not paying people who are owed whilst paying for a team, which on paper, should walk the league. I don’t want to go and cheer that team, but if I don’t, and if lots other people don’t then the money dries up even faster.2 users thanked author for this post.

I’ve just been reading the Scunthorpe thread on The Fishy (I did skip the middle 200 pages !), I have to say that barring the few understandable “feck ‘em” views it is a very balanced debate on what has actually been happening here, and Hilton has been suspect to all on there from the start. The whole sorry saga has been summed up perfectly by Mappers. The general consensus on there seems to be we are finished, I just hope that turns out to be wrong.Credit where it’s due, their second goal is good.

Either DH Has Put Loadsa Money Into The Iron or He Has Not. #272861Apart from Iron Insider/Ironeye, I haven’t seen a single post on here actually calling for him to go at any point. Even IB just posts stuff about Hilton and doesn’t call for him to go. I don’t know If there are people saying that on Facebook and Twitter, I’m not on them.
If you read his statement from yesterday he stopped paying for almost everything except the players and coaches 7 weeks ago. People haven’t been paid, deliberately. Sorry, but that is wrong. How is this fair on the other clubs in our league ? It is basically cheating, and in my opinion is absolutely shameful and an embarrassment to Scunthorpe United.
Nobody is making him go down the road he’s taking, except himself. Stop being conned by all the bullshit talk he keeps spouting.
He says he’ll keep the club going until he sells, and not say anything else, good I’m happy to leave it at that.5 users thanked author for this post.
Hopefully not !!
premier iron, what on earth are you talking about ?
Things are now as bad as they could be, it is a time for unity not petty nonsense.2 users thanked author for this post.
Thanks. Oh dear.
I’ve caught up slightly and seen his statement on the club website now.Is this unfolding on Facebook and X ? Nothing happening on planet medium wave that I inhabit.
No I haven’t. But if they saw any of this coming then they smoke weirder shite than me
One from the trust wouldn’t go amiss, but then again they were missing yesterday at the corner.
It seems to me they are like rabbits in the headlights. They could never have imagined all that has happened and is happening.
Brackley guy thought it was a good game.

He’s done very well to get the noisiest supporters on his side. I think more of an issue for him is what did he tell the other directors and JD to get them onboard ?
Like it or not if this carries on l dont think we are going to have a club shame really but some people will be happy
If what carries on ?
Who will be happy ?Got caught, got prosecuted and got sent to do his time.
Ok so the majority of fans on this message board are against David Hilton. But the majority of the football club’s fans are not members of Bru. The Facebook page is pro Hilton, and personally, so am I.
I get the feeling there are some on here who would see the club go down the drain, just because they don’t like or trust the chairman.
It really is quite sad…
Nothing to worry about then, enjoy the rest of the season and look forward to your seat in the new stadium in 2025.
Right so the situation is quite simple if he decides to go the club is finished no money or buyer means no iron, I personally don’t give toss about what his past is I only know he has kept the club going thus far . I also believe he has also got by far the majority of fans behind him so I hope sincerely he ignores the keyboard warriors and continues. I might be in the minority on this sight but who cares!UTI
The situation is more simple than the that. Right now in the present can he pay Swann for GP and pay for all the other stuff that is coming up ?
Clearly, he can’t, regardless of his past or The Athletic article.1 user thanked author for this post.
Is he the guy that is on bail and was banned by Turnbull ?
Insane.

Thanks,I’ll give this one a miss then. Even if only half are true believers that is a lot….
If you view some views from outside Bru you’d think half the town would be turning up anticipating some sort of Swann exorcism conducted by DH parachuting on to the pitch shouting ‘loads a money!!!’
How many members are there of the crazy Facebook group ? I don’t want to attend this match if there is a huge pro Hilton thing going on.
Dear David, this guy actually believes in you and clearly loves sufc, he actually wants to find ways to help resolve the whole sorry situation. I don’t agree with a lot of stuff he has said where he has referred to people that doubt you – David Hilton – as dick heads and idiots. But he is clearly a good, well meaning person and a fellow Iron supporter, are you really going to keep deceiving good well meaning people who just want to go and watch there local team every couple of weeks ?

On the chance that George Taft might look on here at some point – Please do not associate all supporters with any vile rubbish on Facebook or Twitter.
Good luck at Worksop and the future.3 users thanked author for this post.
And where did what he has put in come from ?
Let’s look at the facts. This club has again got a team to be proud of. We was hours from folding. To those with negative thoughts I ask you to go away and support another team. We have alot to thank Mr Hilton for. We all have done things which we later regretted.
Stay Mr Hilton and see this through , dont let the shit supporters ( if genuine supporters ) win. You can be the Boston Strangler for me , but how you have transformed my club in such a short time is amazing. Keep up the good work and good times and memories lay ahead.Yes, let us look at the facts. Where shall we start ? Week 1 when he shafted Nelson, or Week 34 when he admits he actually did have yet another name and was convicted of fraud ?
Who are we to judge, we are just the little people who pay their money to support a football team and pay their council tax. Maybe we have our own businesses and needed prompting by some helpful company to access a government scheme to reduce our rates, which we were also naive enough to actually be paying.
Wakey, wakey my friend, in 6 months time there is a real prospect that this guy will take us down the road to Gainsborough whilst Swann sells GP.2 users thanked author for this post.
We were in big trouble in January and we still are now. Arguably worse with the GP fiasco.
Listen to his statement, we are being conned, he has always got a justification. He had to steal £68k of public money just to get by.
The level of delusion about this amongst some fans is unbelievable. An ex player who hasn’t been payed properly getting grief on social media is disgusting.1 user thanked author for this post.
Yes, excellent post. I understand there is a referee assessor at every game at this level and that one of the reasons all games have to be filmed is for ref assessment. If so surely this ref isn’t going to get a very good assessment….
Unfortunately he won’t be the only ref that poor at this level.Do we really want to play that team again ? Bad enough we have to go to their place.
We are going to come against shite refs and rubbish, defensive teams all season. They were shite but we couldn’t do anything about it. Freak weather at 2 games is unlucky but, take it on the chin, learn the lesson and get on positively with rest of the season.
If it is ordered to be replayed does that mean Scales is still suspended for 3 matches as the Buxton one won’t count ?R.I.P
Very true !!
I based it on the fact that after 7 games we are at the stage where signing Bennett has become necessary…. -
