Fans forum

Surprised it’s not a ticketed event, we have a responsibility as lifelong Iron fans to fill the place and get answers & reassurance that the football club will continue to exist.

For those who do live far away, IronBru will you be allowed & able to live tweet the event? For past events they were so appreciated.

[Peter Promise]

Samways who will be there that is in a position to give answers and reassurances regarding the club`s future?

The COO & CEO should have as much information as possible from the owner in advance of this meeting. If I was them I’d be starting the event with a position statement from him and if he refuses to provide one, they should openly say so.

Who remembers the 1966 comedy film,” A funny thing happened on the way to the forum “? Anyhow in our version——-A funny thing happened on the way to the fans forum, I saw Peter Swann running in the opposite direction——- It wasn’t funny but predictable.

The person who should be there to answer questions won’t be and that’s Mr Swann.
At the end of the day those present representing the Club have no power to change or do anything at the Club while Coolsilk own everything.
No doubt there will be a lot of enthusiastic comments from them and plans for the future but in the end it will be down to the owners what really happens and that’s why Mr Swann should be there.

Will there be stewards with handcuffs in attendance?

There could be stooges to make sure only the “right” questions are asked, maybe a hour on VAR again?

Fans Forum – comparable to the third class steerage aboard the Titanic seeking reassurance from Captain Smith about the future of the ship.
Pointless.

Anyone going?

[Pat O’Cake]

The person responsible for this entire shit show should be man enough to be there and answer questions but he’s too much of a coward to do that.

The COO & CEO will only divulge what they have been told they are allowed to divulge.

I believe the club will be tweeting updates tonight.

[Northumbiron]

Seven second delay?

[Awaywego]

And if he said he was going Pat, that would be an excuse for fans not to go ,I know that and so do you.

I don’t know that at all, in fact I would wager there would have been a far bigger turnout had he been there

I agree with barriethomas Tony Gosling did a very good job in the chair. Let’s face it even if Swann or one of his family directors had attended the forum supporters would have been non the wiser as to the future of our Club as anything he says never happens, in fact the exact opposite. The impression I have is that non of the panel know any more than we supporters. As for the Chief Executive, League Mayo I believe she is just there for the finances on behalf of the Swanns and shows no empathy whatsoever for the club or supporters. A friend of the Swannx.

[North Lincolnshire Irons]

After attending the forum I don’t feel any the wiser as to the future of our Club and feel it was just a PR exercise with questions unanswered. When statements were made such as, Peter has put a lot of money into the club, he is giving the ground back, then it seemed a waste of time attending. It’s all empty words. The fans director said Swann has turned down two offers. If he asks a ridiculous amount for the club no-one will buy into it and he must know that. I don’t believe he is giving the ground back, I believe he is trying to sell it via new owners and so can re-coup his money. He has made SUFC a total mess.

Thanks NLI. So basically another fruitless exercise?

Administration now rather than later then, and let him own the tin shed.

[IronIronIron]

I’m not defending Swann, but the majority of the questions that we want to ask can not be answered at this moment in time.

There is no way that Swann can discuss the 2 offers that have been made, and therefore it is wrong to assume that he is demanding too high a price. Maybe the offers made were lowball – not surprising as you need to start somewhere.

He has continually said that he will give the ground back, and he has reiterated that again via the forum.

The idea that we go into administration so that Swann can make more money is ludicrous. If you want to make money you don’t buy a football club. He could have made loads of dosh by investing what he has spent elsewhere.

He, very obviously, doesn’t know how to run a football club. He wants out. It may take time, and we will not be party to any discussions until the deal is done, but we will still be here next season and the season after, and I for one will still be supporting the Club.

[Awaywego]

How does Swann make more money going into administration? Haven’t seen an owner that as made money going into admin in football.

‘He has continually said that he will give the ground back, and he has reiterated that again via the forum.’

Biggest laugh I’ve had all week. Thanks!
