“The club will fight extremely hard to give the fans the quality and excitement they deserve to challenge at the top of the National League next season.”
Yey! Top of the National League next season.
Another hollow promise, or wishful thinking?

I would file it in the same bin all of his other promises ended up in.
I see it as gearing up for “We couldn’t build a competitive team because the fans did not back us” quickly followed by “No-one credible came in to buy the club” (translation: no-one was daft enough to cover my losses and then invest enough to drag the club out of the shite).
Finally we will get the “No alternative but to put the club into administration and sell my land to a developer.”

Sorry all, covering some old ground here, but he’s come out with so many statements publically (some of which I’ve personally heard), many of which have just not been delivered on, including…’we won’t be relegated’…I’ll do whatever it takes….I’ll pay the EFL loan off if needs be’…’we’ll have spades in the ground in the next two weeks’.
NONE of these were delivered on Mr Swann. Why should we believe you now?

There are one or two things I’d take issue with:-
“Tony Daws and our academy staff work hard to produce the players of the future with a clear and defined pathway, which will stand us in good stead for years to come.”
How many first team regulars have they produced in the last 10 years? The youngsters are only playing now because we’re desperate.“We can confirm Keith will be in total control of football affairs and Lee Turnbull will oversee the general running of the football club.”
How can that be guaranteed under new ownership?“Tomorrow’s game against Hartlepool provides the club an opportunity to turn a corner.”
We’ve had many opportunities to do that over the last few seasons, why will tomorrow be any different?“would ask that all of you continue to support the Iron with your passion, energy and commitment to move the club forward.”
A big ask considering that your passion, energy & commitment have vanished.Will you be there tomorrow?“

I think that’s a typo.
It should say “provides the club an opportunity to TAKE a corner’!

Quite simple…support the “team of youngsters” whilst they play and protest at the end. I suggest a minutes “sarcastic” applause?
That won’t bring any attention from the media. If there is to be a protest it would need to get media attention, otherwise it’s as pointless as doing nothing.

Swann is a total dreamer.his business acumen re running SUFC has shown just how much he cared , hes raped our club and calling him stupid isnt really accurate as i believe he has slowly but surely taken over the clubs assets thus protecting himself when admin or liquidation time arrives.. IMO he has systematically planned this over the last 2 seasons and sadly it has come to this ..SUFC playing their last football League home game later today.
Shameful .. but i bet he still sleeps soundly without caring one jot re his failings and what total clusterfook they have turned a once small solvent well operated football club into.
Its National Labour day here tomorrow and planned a wake along with a Sunday roast at my local eatery ..
Sad n dark days …praying we avoid being wound up and we will be back in the EFL but cant see it happening too rapidly with the current set up and employees.
Claret n blue all way through .. Scunny til i die

Would an FA fine for a pitch invasion have been higher than the police bill we’ll get for having seemingly more police in attendance than fans on Saturday?
I’ve never seen anything like it.
A complete over reaction by the club and the police which seemed to antagonise supporters more than deter them.There were lads at the front who were after causing trouble and getting on the pitch- no denying that- however, what happened to some good old communication and the stewards at least trying to clear the front of the stand before deploying pepper spray.
Disgusting scenes which put the icing on the cake of a truly miserable experience this season.

The threat was always going to be there so having police there was about right imo, without them I believe the game would have been abandoned, I never saw any over reaction from them they left the stewards to sort out the fans who invaded the pitch.

A woman who was standing with a group outside said the steward had both his hands round the young lads neck,
There is video evidence doing the rounds. He appears to have two hands round the lads neck, who is laid on the bonnet of Stanton’s car. An absolute disgrace. They are out of control.
