Winner of the most pointless and idiotic post of the year, awarded in May.
Certain it can’t possibly be beaten!
Tongue in cheek post .. with a bit of 1980s fashion thrown in ..not meant to be taken seriously
obviously not read as such
No podcast .. no live twitter feed .. why so strange to ask

Topics: 67My fear – The GP purchase has fallen through, everything moves to Ilkeston and we play there until the new ground, that he’s bought the land for already, gets planning permission, funds and finally is built. In other words X number of years later. Maybe.
My hope – The dude is minted beyond all belief and wants to build an awesome legacy for his family in the town of Scunthorpe. He’s buying GP as planned, we stay there until a new stadium and training facility is built when he will then develop GP and get some of his money back.
In the meantime all the embargo and other rumours are quashed and a squad capable of winning NLN is being assembled ready for a fantastic season, where we actually win for a change.6 users thanked author for this post.
What I’d love for him to be asked is where the money for all of this is coming from. None of his businesses have shown a profit — on paper, filed with HMRC, at least — and many have even failed to pay debts.
Hilton spent all spring trying to get loans from people he’d ripped off in the past, and when that predictably failed, he could not afford Glanford Park and the adjoining land.
Stadiums around the size of GP cost about £20-30m to build even before the price of resources began to soar. How can he afford something 10x the cost of something he couldn’t afford?
If the answer is subsidies from the town, he has a very poor track record there. (See links below for more on that).
Wages are also becoming absurd. I’ve learned that Chapman is on £1200 a week to now be a backup keeper in the NLN.
People may say that it’s Hilton’s private business and who cares so long as he funds the club, but that’s also what was said about Swann, Ron Martin at Southend, and many more. There’s going to be precious little profit should the club ground share this year, so fans are owed an explanation of how the club can spend all this money and where it comes from. If it’s debt on the club, that’s very perilous.

A lot of us were skinheads at Foxhills back in the early 1980’s. Most into Ska, some into Oi. I liked both and still do.

Not as scary as the Milwall surgeons!
