On the counter, after years of gloom, we’re allowed a moment of relief and happiness.

Yeah, I agree, and I am relieved and happy. But I firmly believe that any football fan should view their club’s owner with a bit of cynicism.

Topics: 80When were u at Foxhills?
When i was a school kid… 555
1975 to 80
Maths teacher was Mr White , Physics was pin head Robins , Ms Mclellen for French, i lived in Gunness and came on the bus daily.
shame to hear about sheff park
My wrong i got Hilltop ave confused with Hilton ave , the latter being behind the Berkley pub not to far from GP as already pointed out.
i used to drink in both Gunness pubs mostly the Ironstone Wharf but also over the river in Keadby , in Scunny town itself Tavern n Town Pickwicks Garbos Britainia Honest Lawyer Ashby Star , Ferryboat in Burringham , pub in Scotter also.
Loads of Indian eateries on Frod rd and Wilsons Chippy …
I had a couple of market stands in Scunny also did York city center , Donny and for my sins Cleethorpes Wonderland markets.
Out of all my memories i miss going to the footy the most.. and especially at times like this with hopefully a brighter future ahead thanks to David Hilton.

Topics: 80I think the point is that our club is (apparently) secure (for a little longer at least). What we do not need is another bout of spending money we don’t have. Stabilisation and organic growth is fine by me. I do not expect to get back in the FPL anytime soon. Level 6 will be difficult enough next season.

This is it. The teams in the football League grow stronger by the year and that is likely to further be enchanced by the Juggernaught that is Wrexham and potentially Chesterfield/Notts county. The day of idling by on 3k attendances and expecting league football are nearing an end.
You only have to look at the strength of League one- it’s virtually a 2nd championship.
We have to find a new level now and begin to live within our means. If the town wants league football again, it’s got to be a mutual effort and not just relying on a sugar daddy.

If David invites local business men onto the board ( I think we all know two obvious choices ) then sets about contacting fans groups for feedback and hopefully in time allowing fans to buy shares in the club, he will become very popular and the fan base will start to grow again. We are a local club much beloved in the area, we aren’t a global brand and we don’t have millionaires playing for us, so if David thinks local and makes the club more accessible to fans then it’s a win win situation. If we give him time to get settled in I think he could be very good for Scunthorpe United.
