The abuse he’s getting from so-called Iron fans on Twitter is an absolute embarrassment to the club.

An allegation from someone saying he did the same thing to his brother at Ilkeston now. He really is the world’s unluckiest man have so many players try and swindle him with demands for wages, when he just wants the best for the clubs he represents.

Forgetting the ‘other stuff’ surrounding Hilton; failure to pay wages, taxes, and pensions should be enough to sound the alarm bells.

Airing criticisms of Hilton, even vociferously and passionately put, is abuse. Worse than people attacking Taft on twitter, calling him names, saying he doesn’t deserve to be paid and more. Got it.
There’s nothing more incendiary on here than those insulting other fans’ support level right now because they don’t trust Hilton. Seemingly the only way to be a true fan is to clap Hilton along, regardless of whether you trust him or not, according to some.
If I didn’t want a club to support, I’d back Hilton like crazy, since I think he will be the final nail on our coffin if things continue.

Sadly I fear you are correct Siderite – we appear to be heading into oblivion and too many fans refuse to believe that David Hilton-White-Anderson-Mellors is not going to be our saviour. He bought us time and hope, and now we’ve ran out of both.

Whatever is happening at the moment their is only one person responsible – Mr Peter Swann !
He will be loving this, watching all the in-fighting and Project Extinction raising its ugly head !

….. I don’t think he will be , he was promised 3 million quid and in all probability won’t get anywhere near that for the ground – Hilton’s not going to pay is he + Swann is already missing out on the rental income he was promised by your current owner for GP .

There’s a pattern here, 1 worthy complaint by fan or other, 2 Facebook or other compliant media mods get a call with a smear and or denial which they put out, 3 I expect the usual admission soon

It would appear so. The abuse Taft has had is disgusting and embarrassing for the club. Feel sorry for genuinely good employees still there trying their best.

On the chance that George Taft might look on here at some point – Please do not associate all supporters with any vile rubbish on Facebook or Twitter.
Good luck at Worksop and the future.3 users thanked author for this post.
My take ..which I believe I’ve quoted before .. is that ‘Football is the most important of the least important things.’ It’s not always easy, as a lifelong Iron fan, to hold that perspective. But I believe it to be true and it certainly helps me not to get drawn in to the current chaos more than I think is good for me.
For what it’s worth, and all other things being equal, I still think I’ll be driving over with my one of my random mates to pick up my sister and go to watch some form of Scunny game in five years time.
I’ve no idea how that will work. We might have a different name. We might be divisions lower and in a different ground. We should certainly be the best supported at whatever level in that scenario.
Perhaps we’ll get ‘rescued’in a few weeks and be pushing for the EFL and still at Glanford Park … unlikely, but we can dream.
Maybe DH will still be here and we are holding current ‘ground’ ..in more ways than one .. and even looking up.
The sad part for me is that all this investing in viciousness and nastiness on some parts of social media, and even the constant and relentless repetition of the ins and outs of our plight and the major players in it, will leave a permanent and divisive scar on our fan base. I suspect that wherever, whatever and whoever .. there may well be at
least several hundred ‘principled’ folks from one end of the argument or the other who will be ‘done’ with football in the town. I hope not. We are going to need, as we’ve always done, every fan we can muster. I get that the ‘truth must out’ ..but I hope that we don’t get so deep that the scar can’t heal.
One way to avoid that .. even though Bill Shankly claimed otherwise .. but ges dead!! .. is to remember that ‘Football is the most important of the least important things.’6 users thanked author for this post.
I agree with JI here. These last few days have been one of utter dejection surrounding the Iron for me; my trust in the ownership is maybe damaged beyond repair and I fear where it’s heading and the perhaps inevitable fan divisions only increasing.
That said, I went for a short walk this morning and realised that there are other things in life to keep me happy. Here’s hoping things work out for the Iron, they do matter, but we all have more to give besides this.
