    Probably been to more SUFC games than you’ve had hot dinners IA.

    So you’re planning a little walk to ‘protest’ against a man who won’t even be there, who is trying to sell the club like you all want. Makes ZERO sense.

    Unfortunately I won’t be at the match as I’m busy doing coach type stuff this weekend. It will be interesting to see what sort of protest does emerge, how many actually protest, and how many of those end up being handcuffed by the stewards.

    I feel that lower league clubs are at a high risk status of poor ownership, and fans of the clubs should all support each other to campaign for better governance of owners. If we want a protest that has more voice we should be reaching out to the away fans too. Imagine just how much Swann’s jowls will wobble if he sees images of fans protesting at four sides of the ground.

    Are you expecting Mansfield fans to join in Daz? :-)

    It would be good, although I don’t think it would happen.

    Potential new owners at the game tomorrow. All eyes on the directors box.

    Daz if any protesters get handcuffed by stewards tomorrow it could turn into a riot, particlarly as the stewards would be going against the wishes of the football club with such a provocative action. Just to remind the people currently passing themselves off as matchday stewards at Scunthorpe United, the club pay your wages through the contract with your employer, you had better do what the club requests, or face the consequences.

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH, we’d better abandon any planned protest then in case it jeopardises any potential sale. Will the current owner be there to begin negotiations?

    Lee got a nice little pun in his statement there, a few spewy clichés as well, guess your all convinced and won’t be protesting now?

    What you protesting against? The ‘potential’ new owner sitting in the stand?

    I think you are well aware any and all protests are aimed at the current owner.

    Don’t see why it would bother a potential new owner. Might distract them from noticing how bad the team is that they will inherit should they go ahead.

    It’s pointless when said owner could be at Aintree or sat on a beach somewhere.

    Full focus should be on supporting the team, creating a good atmosphere that impresses the guys/girls in the directors box.

    Freedom of expression and the right to protest. Potential new owners might actually appreciate a section of fans not being so apathetic. Surely they’re not that naive to think Swann wants to sell because everything in the garden is rosy? They might look around and think ‘f*** me, a complete imbecile could run this better!’

    Potential new owners sitting in the stand tomorrow looking round thinking, ” what a shit hole, bet the current owner isn’t in the hotel business “, oh wait.

    I can understand an Iron supporter might think it’s a waste of time and detrimental to protest, but I can’t understand one that so doggedly tries to undermine it as UTI99. Unless…

    But it’s OK for the owner not to give his “full focus” supporting his team or entertain prospective buyers? Doesn’t encourage fans support and I doubt it will impress the guests. One law for the rich and a different one for those of us who’ll still be here in the coming years. You really do have some strange ideas.

    The potential new owners may be more concerned with the fact that the stand opposite them will be be almost completely empty come kick off time and wondering wtf has occurred with the incumbent regime to make that happen.

    Why are you banging on about’new owners’on here. There aren’t any new owners, who would invest money in SUFC without any assets. We don’t even have any players worth any money, they’ve been sold off,. Wake up and smell the coffee, normal service will resume next season, hopefully with a mid-table finish

    A good peaceful protest should help any potential new owners realise the fans are desperate for the disastrous swann era to end and the new owners will receive the full backing of the fans.

    There’s 500 Mansfield fans in the stand opposite so it won’t look to bad + Ironawe.

    Won’t be there as I’m away but I wouldn’t protest as I support the club and the badge not the owner and chairman who has said he will sell the club publicly for the first time

    a protest tomorrow could completely kill any deal and certainly won’t help.

    I doubt it I’m a pensioner who has watched the Iron 58 years, you on the other hand come across as a snotty nosed kid barely wet behind the ears.

    It would be an entirely predictable response from the Swann camp to say fan protest scuppers potential new owners. Or that, should no protests take place, they have withdrawn interest without formally submitting one.

    It’s convenient either way.

    I stand to be corrected but we’ve been here before.

    I will say I did like LT statement, whatever constraints he is working under he has the club at heart.

    Or he’s sucking up to his boss IA just like Hill and Simon Elliot did.
