was talking to one of the alpha American footy types in Queensway last night he said that he had seen Lee Turnbull and a small bald man with a couple of council officials recently while they were training. surely not going to start the season there are we??????
Impossible. Hilton’s saved the club, and no questions are necessary. ;-)

Maybe a joint venture with local council to develop the facilities so teh club can use them for training.

Twould be a decent ground for the league we’re in.
You were at South Shields Awaywego.
And that was Nothern Premier League. Bit of a step up from QP don’t you think?

Topics: 67We weren’t going to be Ilkeston Iron, but the fear of that was spread by poor communication by Hilton
It wasn’t poor communication by Hilton, it was a combination of people not listening to what he said, and other spreading pure bullsh1t.
Hilton never once said anything about Scunthorpe playing at Ilkeston, he said Ilkeston have far better training facilities and the team would train their until a suitable place could be found locally, next thing we know everybody is screaming from the roof tops that he wants to move the whole club there and do an MK Dons with Scunthorpe!

No. That doesn’t paint an accurate picture. In addition, to training, he also proposed moving day to day ops to Ilkeston and closing the academy. For many supporters, including The Iron Trust this raised huge concerns as it effectively would move the club out of the town, apart from matchdays at GP. This set a number of supporters on social media speculating he might want to merger / do a MK Dons. This was wrong.
‘Shouting from the rooftops’? Not true. It would be better if all this was remembered more accurately and fairly.2 users thanked author for this post.
You’re also failing to acknowledge that Hilton proposed these changes in a club statement straight after a match because as he said, he’d been ill all week and was angry about being criticised. I find that a concern in itself.

Where did I say anything about us playing at Ilkeston? I also have pointed out that such was unfounded. So why make out my critique is like that? I know it’s easier to make those not enamoured with Hilton all sound delusional, but please don’t.
It’s just unreasonable in my opinion. Moving our training facilities there was a poor decision which deserved critique. Even if you agree with it, in a free country such is allowed and those in authority (i.e. Hilton) should be able to withstand it. Such a decision was bound to raise eyebrows, and everyone bar those more trusting in Hilton had red flags about mergers. It’s what fans of other clubs thought. Again, I didn’t think that, but this could have been avoided if this was communicated sufficiently. There has been no communication from the club over matters, as usual, and we’re left with guessing games. This is poor.
As for the communication over 1899, the fact so many questioned shows how well it was communicated. It wasn’t.

Pat O Cake is a hilton apologist and no doubt be will be applauding like a seal when he announces the deal has gone to shit and we won’t be playing at Glanford in august. i am also sure it will be Swann fault that hilton hasn’t got the money to pay what he owes and what he agreed
Poor form.
Everyone is basing an opinion on different information. You probably know more information than Pat, I probably know more than you, and there’s someone how probably knows more than me.
If/when the deal does collapse, it will another horrific chapter in our recent history and potentially one that could cost the club its existence.
Ease off.
