Lottery – Community Fund

[Rene Artois]

Maybe Bru & the Trust can get the ball rolling… no pun intended.

perhaps we take the club over as a community asset. Meets the criteria of only one in town

I think this is a noble idea, but I don’t think you can get this funding if your organisation is limited by shares. Also, these things take a long time to come to fruition – and time is something Scunthorpe United FC really does not have.

I think we now need a lead from a supporters organisation ,just a vague outline as to what discussion are taking place, It’s clear there’s alll sorts of ideas flying around, .We now need a bit of direction

I agree, it needs absolute clarity, this – and everyone uniting behind one organisation. What the situation really does not need is well-meaning do-gooders all thinking they have the right idea, and contacting people, celebrities, agencies, organisations, businesses independently of ‘the group effort’.

totally agree, if someone doe go rogue it has to be in a sort of funnel even if just tagging the correct channels, we’re all impatient. but sometimes you have to wait

This could be an opportunity for Nic Dakin to take the lead and regain his MP seat. It would be more effective than any manifesto promises or door knocking I reckon and secure legendary status amongst the population of Scunthorpe.

I think he’s more invested in the good of the club than Holly Mumble-Bumble, though she has made the appropriate political squeak during the last few days. Not sure it means anything. Like when she tried to insert herself as the intermediary between Swann and Hilton, right at the start of this shitshow.

she’s still around?

You raise a good point as you did a few days ago when you mentioned about the lack of a figurehead to pull all the organisations together in order to get a deal done. I don’t know the personalities involved or how much time they have available to devote to the cause, but I would be having a chat with Keith Waters regarding his suitability for that figurehead role given his experience.

It requires a massive investment of time, and a really good grip of the club’s situation – and that’s going to put already busy people off.
