It has struck me that the very heart, soul and spirit of both club and supporter has been ripped out.
I find myself not being arsed about……
The new season.
The manager.
The players.
The new kit.
The fixture list.
My shifts that clash with home games.
Our rivals sticking banners on motorway bridges.
The programme being brought back.
The standard of catering.
Stepping back into a miserable, tired, unloved cold empty ground.
Lack of stories in the local rag.
Chatting about the Iron.
Or even if Ernest Pawn stays, goes or destroys the club.
The lack of buzz about our club in general.
The lack of banter between ourselves.
The lack of banter between us and supporters of other clubs.
Promotion or even relegation.Yes Ernest you personally have turned a once great enjoyment to me into an absolute and utter miserable experience.
There is one word in our name that epitomises Ernest Pawn and it ain’t Thorpe.
Thanks for sweet FA you ….

July 12, 2022 at 12:09 am #240359You are 100% correct IronKing, every item that you have listed except the “working shift when Scunny are at home”, is just what my opinions are, the club is finished and will never recover from the depths that Swann has driven them into, and after doing so does not even have the bloody neck to even try and explain to the few remaining fans any intentions of his, or to even construct another of his bare faced lies to add to the many previous ppssibly 100 of them, he must be the most hated person to ever have any connections with SUFC, whom he is 100% to blame for killing our club, you are 100% correct IronKing.

July 12, 2022 at 12:54 am #240361in reference to the current situation at SUFC i cannot think of one remotely positive comment to make regarding anything… its all doom gloom and despair and its all down to one person whose actions over the last few years has destroyed our once great little club.
My planned trip back to Blighty has been dampened by the turmoil and subsequent relegation to non league where i think we will linger for many years to come such is my optimism UNTIL new owners and a whole new set up can be completed … in fact if the Iron get promoted Cod style first time round i will gladly walk from GP to the town center wearing only a flowery hat flip flops and a smile.

July 17, 2022 at 9:11 am #240778So looking forward to the latest Pawn Podcast.
Don’t want the usual drivel and shite, only want to hear.
“There is a buyer”, “due diligence”, “I will be gone!”
“SORRY”

July 17, 2022 at 1:32 pm #240803What’s the difference between being a Scunthorpe United supporter and sitting in the bath?
A Scunny supporter has a soul full of hope!

July 17, 2022 at 5:49 pm #240812So sad to hear fellow supporters of our once proud and well run club writing these posts, but the last 4 seasons have been an absolute nightmare and at times seemed never ending.
But if the rumours are correct by Thursday the club might be in a lot better place, it appeared to be heading in the right direction on the pitch yesterday especially in the first half.
Yes we finished the game hanging on but by that time we had a team almost completely made up of very young players and let’s not forget sheff Utd bought 70 million pounds worth of players with early all being full international players.
When I left the ground yesterday i for the first time in a very long time was feeling a lot more positive about the way the club was going, lee, Keith and all the staff at the club are working very hard and it is slowly beginning to become like it was and i’am looking forward more to attending games.
I can’t make Tuesdays game as I have a family occasion but will be keeping an eye on the game which should give us a more realistic idea of where we are going into the new season.
July 17, 2022 at 7:22 pm #240814Posted on twitter Friday, just shows how behind the times us bruers are, wondered how long before somebody mentioned it. Let’s hope it’s true for everyone.

July 17, 2022 at 7:32 pm #240815Was there any indications of who the buyer/buyers might be?
July 17, 2022 at 8:56 pm #240817But if the rumours are correct by Thursday the club might be in a lot better place,
I’m a bit behind all this. I know that reporter charlie Wilson said there were 3 interested parties who all put in bids that were below the rather ridiculous 6mill asking price.
What else has been rumoured ?
July 17, 2022 at 9:12 pm #240818Jason Maza on twitter posted ‘second draft done’
That could mean one of two things….

July 17, 2022 at 9:32 pm #240822Yes just seen. Is that post even relating to Scunthorpe United though ?
I’ve no idea !
July 18, 2022 at 7:31 am #240828you would hope it is SUFC related but just don’t know. Is it too much to expect??? Fingers and everything possible crossed

Could be on about his latest script.
July 18, 2022 at 10:43 am #240833Could mean any dammed thing.
We are however reducing to straw clutching.
July 18, 2022 at 11:37 am #240838More likely to be a draft script as i-A says.
July 19, 2022 at 5:05 pm #240917Somebody has put an amalgamation on facebook about Ernest’s intentions going forward, but it is 3/4 theories based on rumour.
It seems to suggest Ernie still wants to press ahead with the flats which is stalling on any sale.
It reads bad but even Ernie is not stupid enough to retain the club at £80k per week loss to reclaim profits in 3 years time, basically any profits from the flats would be eaten away in the losses prior to that. Also surely no one with a modicum of business accumen would enter a financial arrangement which allowed Peter an element of control?

Started watching on you tube last night, got 15 minutes in and decided to watch the rest sometime today, it was just getting to the really depressing part and it was too hot yesterday evening to watch anymore bad news. 🥵
July 20, 2022 at 12:15 pm #240965A decent watch and sums up the current shit show pretty well!
