It’s down to all of us Awaywego, ONE-FOR-ALL, ALL-FOR-ONE. We are already members of our Iron Trust who I am sure they are doing as much as they possibly can, many of them life-long supporters. It has been good to see our Chairman Tony Gosling in the spotlight on TV and being interviewed by the media in Scunthorpe Town centre.
If we all stick and work together as one I am sure we will succeed to save our Club.2 users thanked author for this post.

Awaywego wants his dinner on the table pronto, but won’t even lend a hand peeling the spuds!

“funds should have been built up already” you see the problem here? people like you have marginalised them since Swann was here because” we don’t need a trust,it’s only for clubs in trouble” They were still doing it in the last couple for weeks on other groups. They’ve done well to keep going with such crap attitudes around and now you expect them to have a huge pot to spend ? If they’d had a pot ,you’d have been asking them to give it to your hero Hilton to pay the tax bill he claimedto have paid already
‘What are you doing to help the club survive Deerey’
Giving what I can to the appeal, continuing to make people outside of Scunny aware of the plight and the appeal, offering to help the Trust. Helping to counter smears supposedly originating on here. Not sure what else I can do? Anyway, you miss the point, which was about attitude not a competition over who’s doing the most to help save the club.
The contentious nature of Awaywegos posts, which has probably accounted for 75% of his input over the years on this forum, now threaten to give him 100% brain fog on this particular issue. Which part of standing together as one for OUR football don’t you understand?

There are rumblings of something good happening, which is promising. However, the most important thing for me is the unity we have seen since the fundraiser. For a long part, the division among fans was one of the more upsetting things about the last few months. Not only did that fundraiser help raise money for the staff, but it made fans see past their differences and realise what matters. The club. Hilton’s attempt to divide the fanbase against each other to avoid blame looks to have failed. The only ones left are the die hards, like Herbert, who look more out of touch than ever. What a difference a week makes. Though I do think the banning orders of last week were what turned people round, and the fundraiser made the unity really pick up steam.
If the worst comes to the worst now, I feel we will have a critical mass of people united for the common good of having a team to support, even if it is a phoenix club. For my part I have joined the Trust and donated to the fundraiser. I am feeling more optimistic than I have done for some time.

Apollo 11 please don’t do this, if you know something then give, if not then please keep quiet, speculation will lead to more division eventually.
I’m not doing anything, I promise you. I just mean that you can’t please all of the people all of the time. Whatever happens is going to displease some as much as it pleases others.

Personally I think the ‘something good’ might prove to be just as divisive as Hilton.
Yeah, and in January you could have replaced “Hilton” with “Swann” as a warning.
As I-A says posts like that are not helpful. We know all too well of the perils that could await us.
Hopefully it will be third time lucky!

We have something at Notts called Lifeline. Set up in the mid 1980’s, 2,500 people, (That’s the limit allowed due to gambling laws?), pay a tenner a month to be a member. Weekly prizes, quarterly prizes and a once a year £10,000 prize. It doesn’t raise earth shattering amounts, (£200,000 pa ?), but it sure is handy when your club is struggling, as ours has, many times over the years. Or do you think the situation at Scunny is still to “fluid” to set something like that up ATMIT? You could call it “Home Bru” or the “Iron Foundry”, I’ll get me coat………..
