FA warn Hilton

[ironfromafar]

Reports / rumours coming in overnight that Hilton is the new owner of Matlock Town ?? if true seems the FAs warning fell on deaf ears ..also now being debated on the SUFC fans FB page where onr poster who previously supported Hilton to the death now wants him thrown in jail.

One can only pray for Matlock town IF ITS TRUE THAT IS.

Bet Jimmy now wishing he hadnt jumped at the Spalding job as they are deep in trouble and surely WHAM would make him his first signing after his “success” at Scunny.

A picture paints a thousand words Apollo……

As far as Dean goes, I can’t see him wanting to work for Hilton again. He didn’t achieve want we wanted on the pitch and paid the football price for that but I think Hilton treated him as badly as he treated everyone involved.

I truly hope for the sake of the club and it’s supporters that the anonymous backer is not David four names.

Matlock play Gainsborough tonight, wonder if any familiar faces will be in attendance, perhaps to discuss future groundshares?

If it is indeed him I’m sure the Matlock fans will be singing ‘there’s only one David Hilton’, tattooing his fizzog on their butt cheeks and offering anyone out (and worse) who has their doubts about him in no time. Stone Island and Nokia mobile sales will go through the roof

I hear Herbert’s out of clink soon, perhaps he can move to Matlock and do some Useful Idioting.

Hilton was spotted at today’s game between Matlock and Gainsborough.

WHAM @ Matlock
Is there any truth to it or is it just a Careless Whisper?

[Iron-awe]

When they release Herbert will he be helping WHAM distribute the sherbet? Heard he has a nose for it.

“On 18 June 2024, Gibson stepped up a level to join National League North club Hereford.[34]
On 9 September 2024, it was announced that Gibson had signed for Northern Premier League club Matlock Town for an undisclosed fee, with work commitments cited as the reason for his sudden departure for Hereford”

Players stepping down a division? Has a familiar ring to it. For ‘work commitments’ read ‘more money’ possibly?

[CMC]

Gibson was a massive flop for the Cods, they gave him a 3 year deal!
Is he going into the Catering Business as well as playing for Matlock?

Ste on the wind up as usual. Reel them in Lad.

Anyone else heard anything on Farsley Celtic, son said last week they aren’t going to play at home for the first twelve games, and haven’t even started on the new plastic pitch even then from a 4G to a 3G. Announced yesterday next Saturday’s game 21st will be played at Bradford PA on both web sites only for it to be removed from farsleys and the error 404 comes up on Leamingtons.
Pretty sure we have a scunny fan that lives somewhere near farsleys any info would be appreciated.

Any notes for a Matlock fan. Currently the club is owned by its fans (a season ticket give you a vote/share). The board has called a Emergency General Meeting for 2 Oct to tell us about new investor also tp chan̈ge the club to issues shares, so looks like the board want us to vote to pass the club to our mystery man !!

A convicted fraudster

Pulled funding one month into a new season whilst signing players on extortionate contracts in the summer. Staff and players left without pay.

Lots of unsavoury stuff behind the scenes that I’ll avoid putting into black & White on here but can be easily found on social media. Perhaps message the following on Twitter:
Kieran McGuire
Matt Slater
Lower League Look,
There’s also a lengthy thread with many of his shenanigans by an Iron fan called Matt Ellis, he will oblige to share.

My advice would be to avoid all costs.

There’s No doubt he was a convicted fraudster and went to prison 9 years ago, if you can’t get beyond that then keep well away.
Don’t just rely on scunny fans make enquires on what he did at Ilkeston then again you’ve probably been there, sure you’ll find or agree that it’s one of the best set ups and non league ground in your league of which Hilton was the force behind it.
Like CMC says bit of a loose cannon behind the scenes going on Twitter and the like wears is heart on his sleeve and just couldn’t hack the shite he took from Everyman and his dog he received here. Certainly not cut out to be an owner of club say as big as ours (no disrespect there) like I said maybe take notice of what he did for Ilkeston rather than what he didn’t do here.

If it is Hilton, read this :

Then Google “Scunthorpe United 1899 club”, then run away from him.
If it’s not Hilton do a lot of homework on who it actually is !

Good luck.

Actually, Google “Hilton 1899 club” that gets more directly to stuff you need to read.

Welcome.

In short, he came to us after the previous owner(Swann) was looking to sell up after our fall from L1 to the National League. Previously involved at Ilkeston.

He’d tried to buy Bury, and their fans warned us having looked into his background, but he got people on side(A Facebook fan page with 7,000 members)and some of them abuse fans in the street and online.

If you want some examples of how he deals with Criticism.

Suspect he may be attempting to rebuild his reputation at your club MTFC. Just keep asking him where his money is coming from. See if you get a straight answer. Then try and find evidence of his income. Look at his past filing history on Companies House.

‘just couldn’t hack the shite he took from Everyman and his dog he received here.’

Utter BS. Any criticism and questioning he received from concerned supporters was absolutely justified. It was anything but ‘shite’ and helped saved the club from extinction. You’ve missed out so much wrongdoings in your summary, it’s embarrassing.

To be fair he did buy land for a new ground.

Or maybe it was a bit of a fib.
