Ok then IB, apart from 2 CCJs, a court case next week to be evicted from the stadium (which in the meantime has a capacity reduction), closing the academy, seriously reducing the staff, and referring to this site as vermin, is there anything Scunthorpe utd supporters should actually really worry about ?

Does anyone know why Habib Mankanjuola who was signed as a dual registration between ourselves and Ilkeston was playing for Gainsborough trinity tonight?
Yes, his dual registration has been transferred from Ilkeston to Gainsborough.

The ccj is against Scunthorpe United FC Ltd.
Is it from Swanns time or Hilton’s ?
It is clear Hilton doesn’t want to spend money on anything he doesn’t feel is necessary – academy, groundsman, ticket office staff, stewards etc.
Personally, I don’t like that but maybe this is how Hilton does business, maybe it is all part of sorting out what’s left from Swann.
A board of directors is being assembled of business people and apparently experienced legal people, why are they happy to get involved , why hasn’t Turnbull run a mile away already ? How have Dean, Plummer, Butler and all the players been convinced to be at the club ?
Something is happening and we can only hope it will ok.
I’m not remotely convinced by Hilton yet, maybe he doesn’t have £3m, maybe he does.The club will have 30 days to pay the ccj it or dispute it.

Cracking game, we were just too strong for them. Whitehall probably did want his hatrick, but as Iron-awe says, the subs were spot on. Darlo couldn’t cope with Sembie Ferris and Elliot coming on at that point. Elliot could have had 3 himself in the last 10 minutes.
Credit to the Darlington fans who made it feel like an actual league game. Darlo’s keeper Taylor took some stick in the second half but to be fair he applauded the DRE at the final whistle.3 users thanked author for this post.
From the article above:-
“The Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 makes provision for the Secretary of State (for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) to designate any sports ground with accommodation for more than 10,000 spectators (or more than 5,000 spectators for grounds hosting Premier League / English Football League matches) as requiring a safety certificate to admit spectators.”GP capacity is 9088 so why do we need a safety certificate? Am I missing something?
I’ve been reading it and got to this :
And this :
I’m sure if there is a loophole DH can find it.

The way I read it Awaywego, (and as you know I am often wrong !) if a football stadium has a capacity of 5,000 or over then it requires a safety certificate. I guess clubs like Tamworth have small enough stadiums.

I would believe what they have to provide. He’s operating a football league club with its stadium and associated supporter numbers in non league. It seems to me he can’t afford it, or doesn’t want to put the money in, which probably explains why the ground hasn’t been bought, academy closed and other alleged non payments. £21,000 to steward and police the Oldham match is over a fiver per spectator, but presumably there would be concerns over disorder due to relegation for us and staying up for them, and any history with Oldham and numbers they brought. Surely the stewarding and policing costs are something budgeted over a whole year not on a match by match basis ?
It isn’t going to be sustainable until at least back in the efl where tv money, premier league money, academy money etc returns. There is a reason why relegation from the football league is called the trap door.
Insisting things to local authorities rarely works out, they have to play by the rules and do whatever assessments are required, in a certain way and enforce the results.
Most non league clubs with smaller grounds probably don’t have to meet a lot of the rules, I don’t know for sure.3 users thanked author for this post.
