‘What’s it matter who owns the ground’? Good question, which you’ve immediately answered in the same post.

I’ve read my post again and I haven’t said who owns it.

What are iron fans thoughts on him so far ?

IMO … its still very fresh in my mind that Mr Hilton came in bought the club, got rid of Swan and immediately paid off its debts for these things alone he gets my thumbs up …however on the footballing side of things again IMO he was too hasty in appointing the new manger and a raft of signings in a gamble that hasnt paid off and doesnt look like it will. Some of the newbies have already gone others rarely feature and expecting a new manger to get a new group to gel in any sort of quick time was a tall order therefore i have sightly negative thoughts re how things have been managed that way.

With regard to the GP ground 1899 share scheme .. the jury is still out as it appears it was still listed as in the Coolsilk name unless that has changed recently.

Very sad what has happened at the club .. the county needs all its clubs to be in the EFL creating more local derbies but let the Cods with short memories on the fishy forum have their fun ..

SCUNNY WILL BE BACK

I think the fishies were mixed ,a lot seemed to get irked with the Van Veen celebrations ,but i think the majority unlike swann didnt want the club to go .

You are right though ,as I have said on here before Lincolnshire needs a strong Scunthorpe Utd – its the second largest county in the Country and now only has 2 league teams ; hopefully the rebirth starts soon and you are upwardly mobile again soon .

As for Hilton I dont really know yet I would like him on the podcast would give that a listen ,the Swann ones were always a cracking listen tbf they really knew how to push his buttons.

Listened to the Jon Parkin one on here the other day to ,a good listen as i like the Undr The Cosh podcast he does .

yes the cod comments re Scunny on the fishy forum are mixed not all piss taking , banter in there as well as a very slight hint of sorrow in a strange sort of way.

Back to the 1899 share plan … I cant understand any Iron fan parting with the best part of 2k until its confirmed who owns GP, this we are still waiting for since Mr Hiltons last comments on the subject (podcast a few weeks ago) saying things are in process and the reasoning behind it taking a while to complete.

Yep I requested an email and link from the club once the transfer from coolsilk was completed.
I think I’ll be waiting a while before I part with my cash.
Tbh is it actually worth it

As several point out the recent signing glut seems to deliver much of what happened over previous seasons. Only Ben Everton-Richards seems to have worked out and the remaining ones look good for a level below !

My big concern now is that the manager is saying the next 9 matches are ‘must wins’ ! Every game since he arrived have been ‘MUST WINS’, then you see 1 striker at home. Continually changing the team and not building stability is a recipe for disaster.

Seems the plan may not have changed which raises the question has everyone who ‘went’ actually gone ?
