All these extremely naive people who invested money into the scheme, invested into SUFC (1988) LTD, a company solely owned by David Hilton, a sole trader and Director, they did not invest in any company associated with Scunthorpe United Football Club.
They have no claim legally against the club. The claim is against the owner of the company they invested in, that company is still trading and a simple google search will point them in the direction.They didn’t. It was advertised via the club, with enquiries to be addressed to the club. One of the benefits was an opportunity to buy a share in SUFC (1899) Ltd.
I didn’t buy one, but those that did are not as naive as you’re claiming, despite buying into something that would have no value should the club go into administration.
Without having looked into the terms and conditions in any detail, nor being a lawyer of any sort, I’d imagine they have a legally binding contract with the club at this point.

They went into it in good faith and most importantly a wish to be part of SUFC ,I personally think it looked a bad deal and reckon they don’t need their noses rubbing in it,they’re just good fans

I seriously considered joining the 1899 club when it was launched as I had a little spare cash and wanted to support the club in anyway I could. The main things that stopped me were;
1). I am an existing ST holder in the Vertikal Stand and couldn’t see an easy way for me to get across during the match to use the facilities that were promised.
2). It seemed like it was rushed and ill thought through.
3). I had just started hearing lots of stories around the trustworthyness of DH.Thankfully I didn’t go ahead and join, but I do feel for all those who did. I am 100% certain that they joined to help the club out and should not be belittled, mocked or derided for this.

I’m not sure that’s necessarily true as the contract was between the club and the buyer.
Nevertheless the offer seems to be a fair one, it’s a shame that supporters were conned and the initial outlay is huge, however over time they should hopefully regain their outlay.
For those still not happy- and there will be some- I do believe the offer of a full refund should be kept on the table until the beginning of next season.
