    The difference BLT was we did our homework on them and had a game plan and set up to stop them scoring but I think they just came here to win the game.

    Bartonscorpion, the club put a statement out 22 hours ago, well before your post “looking” for the sacking of the manager. Sometimes you just have to admit you got it wrong

    For your information, I still cannot find any info on the club site, if you are refering to a face book statement, I have never used that face book thing. So please take it that neither Wondergoals or myself have and had no idea, and Northumbiron, that statement on Saturday usually follows a manager either getting sacked, or after being put on gardening leave, but as usual, you people always look for the worst possible side of other people, this never changes, and it is usually stated in cases like this “due to a family bereavment” not “DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS”.

    Anyway whats the point, you are always correct, and we are always wrong.

    you can’t fail to recognise me from what posters have said about me

    And I’ll be easy to recognise for similar reasons!

    Either mortarboard and cape and carrying a cane. Or bearded, with a beret bearing a red star!

    I’m not on Facebook either just the old fashioned world wide web

    Scunthorpe United can confirm first team manager Neil Cox was absent from Saturday’s game against Exeter City after receiving news upon arrival at the stadium that his father had been taken ill.

    Neil’s dad sadly passed away on Sunday and the manager would like to thank the staff on Ward 22 of Scunthorpe General Hospital on behalf of his family for the care and support they provided for his father.

    Everyone at the football club sends their sympathies to Neil and his family, who are in our thoughts at this sad time.

    6 youth team graduates in their side too, apparently, including Jay who did all the damage. More lessons to be learned there.

    Oh, and they’ve rebuilt the away end at St James Park in the last few years too!

    I know it will be bloody hard and the timing is rotten. Look, it’s bloody terrible in fact but what can anybody really do ?

    Treat someone like a human being? Give the man a couple of weeks off to grieve, to organise everything that comes with a family bereavement, to attend the funeral? I mean, is that too much to ask?

    No, it’s terrible what’s happened to him. As I said before, I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. I feel for him, I really do.

    I also feel for this football club though and don’t want us to be stuck in a situation where we keep him here for the foreseeable future which relegates us in the process just because we didn’t part company because due to feeling guilty.

    I’m thinking of both parties, believe me. I know the importance of staying up..if we go down, that’s us pretty much finished as a football club.

    I get your passion for the club WG, I really do, but you have to treat employees as people. You’ll get more out of employees if you treat them with a bit of respect.

    And, anyway, looking at the squad, I am not persuaded that a change of manager will make that much difference to our results, especially if the claims that the loanees have to play are true.

    Utter bollocks WG the national league’s a far more exciting lge than ours, just look at the season ticket sales and attendances, it’s been a new beginning for so many clubs, why would it be any different for us?. Are our fans any different from anywhere else in the country? Are our fans so fickle? Just look around 3 of the 4 local clubs have been non lge and the other was getting less crowds than us until their resurgence.

    Awaywego the difference between us and the other clubs you name is the owners not the league you are in.
    If the owners do what they say they are going to do the fans will support them.
    If the owners promise one false dawn after another they won`t.

    Awaywego, I am happy to stake a fair wager that, if we get relegated to the Conference, we won’t be getting 6,000+ for a Tuesday night game in our first season in that division.

    NI i shall be there to, come up and have a word, you can’t fail to recognise me from what posters have said about me. The Neanderthal arm dragging with racist tattooed on my forehead. Would love to meet you at last and put a face to your name.

    I doubt you have a tattoo on your forehead, SWMBO’s thumb mark there is another matter though! 😜

    With the same chairman that’s goes without saying. All them clubs have new owners locally and nationally, So again why would we be finished? Please fell free to answer us been different or fickle.

    If you think attendances will spike in the national league then you are completely deluded.

    We started off with 2,800 home fans at Swindon and currently losing a couple of hundred fans every home game. It’s pretty obvious we will be looking at sub 2k gates this year which is unsustainable.

    I, like many on here, know of previous season ticket holders/casual fans who will not step foot in GP whilst Swann is chairman.

    If we go down then attendances will most likely Plateau at 1,500 with only the diehards who will watch us regardless.

    I don’t think anything of the sort, CB, on many posts I have said scunny fans are the worst and your post amongst many more back this up fickle or what? And obviously we must be different to everyone else from what you and others are posting,some haven’t been back since we sold Barrie Thomas, or won’t go until we get rid of any manager of the day, BS boycotting if we played Novac the list goes on and on. Don’t go because we’re playing shite or your not being entertained, but because Swann is chairman give over.

    “If we go down then attendances will most likely Plateau at 1,500 with only the diehards who will watch us regardless.”
    Plateau implies an elevated level. Gates are more likely be depressed to a lower level, so SINK may be a more appropriate word.

    How is it being fickle? It’s the stone cold truth. It makes a depressing read but that is the reality of the situation.

    I’m still going most weeks but I certainly don’t blame those choosing to staying away.

    Also, Lincoln were pulling in gates of 2.5k before their FA cup run and Grimsby had regularly not gone above 4K despite both having sufficiently larger fan bases/catchment areas. Hardly unique to Scunny.

    Spot on. But don’t expect awaywego to miss an opportunity to blame the fans!

    Eh? Why would anyone expect to be entertained watching 4th division football?

    Protesting the running of the football club is a perfectly reasonable explanation of people staying away.

    That’s the least I expect ferrite, to be entertained, that’s why you won’t see me there at the moment, away games that’s something else it’s a day out to meet up with family and friends and is more of a social occasion.

    Fair enough, we all bring something different to football. Personally, I see football far more as the social experience that you describe in the second part of your post.

    Are you sure your a football fan Deerey?, A day out with the lads and footy any day. In family I ment son and grandsons, don’t really want women with me it’s my day out, though I will take the granddaughter if she wants to go when old enough, sexist for sure but that’s my take on it, never had a bigger buzz than at footy match, all that you mention above have been more traumatic at times, though I do enjoy a friend’s funeral and the get together, such a shame someone as to die though😁.

    Well, there is a downside I suppose. Personally I haven’t enjoy watching the Iron as a social or family occasion for years. Everyone just moans and grumbles at the state of things.

    I wonder if Spireiron turned up, or perhaps he’s found yet another club to ‘support’.
