Truly shocking what was allowed to happen here. The repercussions will be felt for many years I imagine.
The positive news from all this is Scunthorpe supporters look to be more galvanised than ever to help the club.
That energy needs to be channeled into productive means.

Below the belt that awaywego. I get to games when I can but living over 100 miles away and restricted by financial, family and work pressures which inevitably mean putting family first, means I’m unable to get to anywhere near as many home games as I’d like to. Trust me, if I lived in town still, or much nearer, I’d be there every match, putting funds in from matchday tickets, spending on food and merchandise, encouraging as many friends and relatives to attend with me. It’s very frustrating not being able to do that more often, but hey, you carry on with your cheap shots mate if it tickles you.

I also contacted the Trust directly weeks ago offering pro bono specialist support with grants fundraising (offered Simon the same before Hilton grabbed the club), which they acknowledged, and they know where I am should they wish to enlist my help at any point in the future. Doing what I can to help. Not sure what else, as one individual, I can do tbh. If I was more wealthy I’d commit more funding myself, but I just don’t have enough disposable income I’m afraid.
in case anyone missed the JD interview here it is

No worries awaywego-read your post làst night after coincidentally bemoaning to a fellow supporter about wanting to get to more games. I’ll keep thinking of ways I can help the club from a distance. Hoping for another thumping win today!

There’s no way the £1.2 million debt is all from Swann’s era. I hope if players have to leave to balance the books, the fans are understanding. It would be great if we can find a way to fund the squad, but I still classify survival as a success for this season.

Agreed. It’s hard for us out of towners. I have made a few this season, and I am going today, but money and other commitments make it hard to attend every home game, as I once did. I don’t claim to be the best fan and admire those who do go the extra mile to support the club. The most important thing is that the club is now united and we have owners we can trust.

On a positive note the lads from Falkirk (Stenhousemuir) are on a reciprocal visit this weekend, football brings them together but it’s much much more than that.

Batesyboy’s idea I think. Yes, why not. Won’t bring in much immediate income (maybe some merch and catering) but could be part of a longer term relationship building strategy. Warming up works in other sectors and it would be a good use of dead space. Some marketing and publicity, facilitation costs, but a worthwhile investment I think.

I struggle to get to that many games due to living 210 miles away, really hoping they make this club lottery available online to us out-of-towners!
