Such a ray of sunshine that IB.

Well, here’s a thing, if we’re not playing at Glanford Park, why is the pitch looking so good in the new signings photos?
Unless it’s greenscreened.2 users thanked author for this post.
been talking to a Gainsborough Trinity Director this morning and asked him if we get kicked out of Glanford Park would we be playing there and he said they haven’t been approached.

Yeah but why let the truth get in the way of a nice miserable moan?
‘It’s the chairman, it’s the manager, it’s the happy clappers on social media.’
Maybe it’s the miserable bar stewards that haven’t one good word to say about the club they say they support.

You seem to be moaning more than anyone at the moment. Both on here and the Scunny Fans Facebook group. Quite sad to start a thread on it over there causing the exact unrest and division you claim to be against. Whether you like it or not, you can’t expect supporters to think exactly as you do. Some may agree with you, others won’t, so perhaps be more of an adult and accept that rather than initiating a playground pile on on another platform?

Many of those berating criticism of Hilton will also be moaning if things go more awry, when Hilton sceptics will inevitably say “I told you so” and criticise them for backing Hilton. Some after backing Swann too. They will then call for unity or understanding from those they slammed.
Of course I hope this doesn’t happen and if it does, the I told you so statements won’t help. However, I suspect ironinsider and others would make them and I won’t have full sympathy to some, given the way they have reacted to people who don’t just accept whatever Hilton says.

This is a more interesting comment that some might think.
I’d definitely come under the “Hilton-sceptic” camp here but it is not because I haven’t got one good word to say about the club. It’s precisely the opposite. It’s because I care about the club that I will always question those running it. What are their intentions, what are their motivations, what is their background? Because I want what’s best for the club and I don’t want its name to be dragged through the mud. Look at what the last 10 years have done to us: we’re a complete laughing stock and even when we were flying higher under Swann we were deeply unpopular around the leagues for splashing the cash & a chairman who picked so many arguments with people in the game. I want Scunthorpe United to be respected as a club, not just for its achievements on the pitch, but for what it means to the town, for its youth teams, for its social engagement, in general for doing things the right way.
I found it almost impossible to proud of the club under Swann and I don’t want to feel that way again. Hilton, for me, has got off on completely the wrong foot and has made many of us very sceptical. It’s on him now to change that perception.
Ultimately, I’m an optimist and want what’s best for the club. I don’t want us to go the way of Bury, Darlington, Chester, or many other non-league clubs. I want a Scunthorpe United we can all be rightly proud of.
Up the Iron, up with questioning.

Once bitten, twice shy.
So many Iron fans have been hurt, and yes, even damaged by the events of recent years.
They are concerned but whenever somebody perhaps overstates the anti-Hilton case, naturally enough, they adopt immediate panic mode.
Am I Hilton-sceptic? – Not especially. I feel that there might well be a sort of ‘shape’ to what is going on but I consider that we have no realistic choice other than to wait and see. There really are no other feasible options.
The trouble is, we are all now trained into being so fearful it is wholly unsurprising that DH has become a bit of a target.
My greatest fear is that he may not be a wrong ‘un at all and feeling unappreciated he may just decide to call it a day.2 users thanked author for this post.
