“ We at Scunthorpe United (“the Club”) make the following commitments to our supporters in our continued effort to deliver the best matchday experience and customer service to supporters and all other visitors to Glanford Park inside and outside of matchdays. “

Once could be deemed a mistake?

[Rene Artois]

“ 1.2 The Club will make at least 10% of the capacity of Glanford Park available to non-season ticket holders for each game. However, this may not be possible when the stadium is forced to operate at a reduced capacity, such as during a pandemic when social distancing is required. “

Hat-trick … lol

[Rene Artois]

“ 1.4 Warnings will be given in advance when selling seats with a restricted view of the pitch at Glanford Park.

1.5 Scunthorpe United will make an area of Glanford Park available for the exclusive use of family groups and junior supporters.

Wtf you don’t expect the club to abide by their Customer Charter do you.

[Rene Artois]

Hopefully all oversights on the website & policies can be corrected and the broken links all replaced with ones that lead to pages?

Hire a YTS lad / lass? lol

It’s a tedious job… but someone’s got to do it.

I get that you’re discussing something else – but I think it’s worth pointing out somewhere (in relation to 1.4 and 1.5) that there are some shocking seats in the family area. The ones on the family area side, right next to that area’s entrance tunnel. Due to the railing work at the top of the tunnel edge, the view of the away end is massively obstructed. If you happen to be a kid in the first couple of seats next to it then you stand little chance of seeing most of the game. Zero warning given in the club office at the time of sale of the tickets.

Not sure what you’re getting at here Rene ?
Surely the naming rights is a commercial sponsorship arrangement between the sponsor Attis Insurance and the club Scunthorpe United. Unless you know that arrangement specified that the club will change its postal address and all club documentation, and repaint the “Glanford Park opened 1988 etc “ sign over the tunnel then I don’t see any issue with it fundamentally being Glanford Park on a document you have to search for and read.
Why criticise someone at the club who is clearly working very hard with a silly Marcus Cicero quote.
Anyway, Top of the league, Up The Iron !

Almost makes you miss the days when we really had things to moan about.

Think of it as ‘the Attis Arena at Glanford Park’… The stadium is the Attis Arena and the whole area that the stadium sits on (incl. training pitches, car park, approach road etc) is Glanford Park?

[TheJuryeffsOut]

That works for me !
And in x years time, someone else will hopefully pay even more money to say it’s it’s something else.

Agreed. I, personally, would always have preferred the ground to be known as The New Showground… but completely understand the financial sense in pimping out the name.

[Iron-awe]

Agreed keep the money rolling in whatever they want to call it, it will always be GP to the Iron faithful, couldn’t give a toss what the press call it long as the Dosh rolls in, remember, no Dosh no club, that’s how it works.

Always been such a shite name though, Glanford Park. Very 1980s.

Could it be because it was built in the 1980s? Old Trafford, Anfield, both named after city districts both boring as hell but its tradition, sometimes tradition is boring thats what makes it so English.

None of that alters my point!

[Iron-awe]

Wasn’t trying to alter your point just explaining why Glanford Park sounds so 1980s, if built in the 2010s it might have been sponsored by our current local authority and called the NL Arena, it doesn’t matter its not important most ground names are bland IMO.

[Deereyme66]

Yes. Case in point being The New Den which could have easily been named Senegal Fields given it’s proximity.
