Shame they are not from Scunthorpe.
No.
In spite of everything – we are still a division higher. Only if we swap places at the end of the season …
They have the ‘new owner’ bounce which always help with the positivity.
who would have thought a club could attract interest in a new owner – I thought we had to be grateful for the Swannlioni’s because nobody ever buys lower league clubs any more.
TBF it’s a nice little article about values and bygone times, little rose tinted specs but full of good sentiment and intentions. In truth the model of the club being proposed is the one all lower league clubs should be urged to adopt if they are too survive and it’s not the first time this thing has been tried or mooted. Lincoln are making a pretty good fist of things and seem intent on bringing the community on board, others are following suit and have been for awhile. Whether these guys succeed at GTFC remains to be seen but the idea is right and certainly our current owner seems as distant as ever about wanting such a model at SUFC. Talk is cheap Prawn, actions count, the Grimsby guy is certainly talking the talk ( we’ve had plenty of that in the last 8 years ) but he will be judged by his actions long term. If he pulls it off good luck to him, despite it being our local rivals, every decent sized town deserves a community based football club, it’s still the heart of who we all are, it’s the people’s game, it brings us closer together.
This is brilliant stuff. I’d be jealous of them if we’d won the Premier League last year. More power to their elbows, I hope they make a success of it (well, not too much of a success but it’d be nice to have the derby back again soon).
As well as 8 new signings I see the Cods have unveiled their new shirts (Macron) and they’re on sale from Saturday. On the other hand we’re still pushing last seasons kits for sale.
