I do hope everyone who paid their tenner asked to be unsubscribed from their emailing list, (don’t know how you cancel a life membership) just like Turnbull not worth a w*** as they say.
I did exactly that on Friday in a reply to their email, calling them an embarrassment and letting them know that they should be ashamed to think they represent the fans. Absolute shambles of an organisation. Every single one of them should hang their heads.

Topics: 80I would be interested to know what working relationship they currently have with the club which they believe needs protecting.

And I thought Turnbull’s statement was bad enough. I don’t expect them to condone the pitch invasion as such as technically it is a criminal offence but to use the words neutral and impartial in relation to Swann killing our club – hang your heads in shame Iron Trust. You don’t speak for me
Swann out, by any means necessary3 users thanked author for this post.
I wish we had never joined the Iron Trust. A total waste of money as The Trust are a total waste of time. They never speak up for supporters and should feel ashamed.

I thought Turnbull’s statement was even worse, he suggested getting the police involved to go after the pitch invaders. Is that man for real ?
Turnbull’s a sell out and should be fecked right off if we’re bought, he should be nowhere near the club. In my opinion he’s no more than a Swannster lackey.
If I had my way I’d fire him from a cannon far, far away from the ground. Turnbull’s been the biggest disappointment, he’s an absolute the disgrace.
The trust is shite as well, all needs ripping up and starting again.

I am a member of the Iron Trust and I have made my opinion known to them.
The time for sitting on the fence has gone and the action by the fans has created more publicity in 10 minutes about what’s happening to our Club than all the talk and lack of action by the Trust and also all the other supporters organisations have up to now.
In my opinion and I have told the Trust that at the very least they should ballot their members about if the Trust should support protests.
I have been a member of the Trust from the start but if they do not at least ballot the members on if they think the Trust should back the protests then they will get my resignation from being a member and my £60 a year.
What action the Trust takes should not be up to 2 or 3 people !
It’s time for the Trust to stop playing politics.6 users thanked author for this post.
Same here.
I too have emailed them with my views.
Iron lion is correct, decisions should not be made by a couple of people.
However, instead of unsubscribing perhaps the Trust should regularly get a newsletter from each of us.
We are after all Scunthorpe UNITED!

If the plan was to divide the opposition to the owner then it seems to be working.
Divided or not, everybody still hates Swannster !

There’s not an ounce of passion coming out from The Trust regarding saving our beloved Scunthorpe United.

I doubt that will be the outcome,fans are divided as to whether the protests do more harm than good .If the whole fan base is divided then it follows that the trust membership is. They definitely do not support Swann ,this is clearly an issue that they cannot win on
I do find it funny that people who abused me no too long ago for warning about this outcome are now all over it moaning about people not protesting how the want them to.
swann has stopped talking to the trust and frozen them out in the past and they have had a few run ins with him ,sometimes face to face, not shouting from a stadium terrace.
Running around the pitch after the Horse has bolted won’t solve much but you have to admire the passion.
people like awaywego seem to want to criticise anyone if it takes away from his support of “Swanny”1 user thanked author for this post.
Never guess who came out and said people should be prosecuted for the pitch invasion, Neil Wright….that bloke is a complete and utter tit.

Since when as a protest being illegal, the club new it was happening and no conditions were applied to it by the police, there was no March as far as I am aware of so no need to inform the police. Absolutely no reason the trust to take a neutral position, in the About us section on the trust web page, it says they are there to offer an opinion when decisions are made being neutral is not an opinion.

I’ve spoken to John numerous times through the last 12 months and he clearly cares about the club so I’m not going on another witch hunt to drive people out the club. People need to take note of this.
But, it shouldn’t have reached the stage it has now and the supporters groups all need to shoulder Blame. I have previously asked John about the Trust helping to organise a protest last year before the Mansfield game and he admitted a protest should’ve probably been organised earlier and there was options to look at organising one if things deteriorated. Well they have significantly. We could have held a demonstration before a game, outside the group with no disruption to the game and still got some media attention. It would have also allowed older members or those not inclined to break the law and enter the field of play to make their voices heard.
As far as I’m concerned now, the gloves are off. The club is on its last legs and the more disruption the better now. The young lads on the pitch Saturday have brought more attention to our plight than any groups have these last few years.
