May 22, 2024 at 8:45 am #286093I wasn’t aware of this. Thanks for sharing.
May 22, 2024 at 11:07 am #286097Should be available on bbc sounds app post broadcast for those unable to listen at the broadcast time.
May 22, 2024 at 12:43 pm #286098I’d never heard of him before. I have now…
May 23, 2024 at 8:01 pm #286129With a curious quote from Wham:
May 24, 2024 at 10:27 am #286137This seems to have stirred Dodgy Dave into a full statement (as seen on Facebook). I got to the self-pitying waffle about sleepless nights and abuse and gave up on the wall of text. Not interested in his self-pity after the way he treated fans and the club.

May 24, 2024 at 2:02 pm #286146Two sides to every story Deerey nice to have some balance imo.
Interesting he saw the same as me the money from Ian not so Sharp was a donation and not a loan.
I (probably alone) will always be grateful he stepped in when he did and saved the club from going out of business till Michelle stepped in and saved the club properly.May 24, 2024 at 2:09 pm #286148“Interesting he saw the same as me the money from Ian not so Sharp was a donation and not a loan.”
lol. You believe anything if it suits. If Dave says so, you trust it, no matter how many times he’s fibbed. I have seen evidence to suggest otherwise.
Aye, got to be thankful that Dave stepped in to give us an extra 6 months to worsen the situation.
May 24, 2024 at 2:38 pm #286149May 27, 2024 at 7:48 pm #286239I reckon Iron_Bru ,The Iron Trust and Matt Blanchard are being airbrushed out of this story. The Iron trust made the ground an asset of community value,Iron bru led the fight in showing where Swann was going wrong and ousting Hilton at a considerable risk and toll .Matt B set up the gofundme ,it appears that this BBC guy thought Matt “Bell ” did that
May 27, 2024 at 9:03 pm #286244I have listened to this and thought he made it clear the fundraiser was done by “Matt Ellis and the others.” I don’t think Max’s “I contributed to the dossier” nonsense has stuck.

It’s important that these contributions are recognised. Perhaps Iron Hour will issue some engraved tin goblets in the near future.
May 28, 2024 at 8:55 am #286258A busy weekend meant that I was unable to listen to the documentary when it aired, but I was able to hear it on catch-up when driving to work this morning.
A very good piece which told the story in broad brush-strokes. It was still interesting and at times emotional and would have given the casual listener a decent idea of how troubled and triumphant things have been on the Iron rollercoaster. The half-hour run time of this programme didn’t really do the twisting nature of the story much justice – but we should be grateful that our club was given any national air time at all.
I do think the last few years is a compelling story and I’m sure there’s a more in-depth version of it waiting to be told. A multi-part radio series, a Netflix-type documentary or even a feel-good film in the Brassed Off, Calendar Girls or Full Monty ‘plucky community’ vein. If Ian Sharp is worth his salt he’s all over this already.
