When will be relegated?

[Deereyme66]

The only way I see an increase in average attendance in the National League is if one or more happens:

1. The club assemble a squad capable of playing attractive football in the upper echelons

2. The club dramatically improve relations with supporters and other key stakeholders

3. The club dramatically improve the matchday experience

4 The club offer tangible and attractive incentives to get lapsed supporters back.

At present, I have no confidence in any of those materialising.

Nice post Iron-awe, yes mate I plan to attend the last game mate, and I still have a Telegraph cutting photo with about 30 kids including myself on it, it was taken whilst in a long line on Henderson Ave. getting tickets for the first Scunny Football League match, I was eleven years old and had my Jack Cheesman basin hair cut, I wonder how many remember Jack and Jeff Cheesman??. I wonder how many more are still living on that photo ?, and how many of us ended up never paying income tax ha ha!!, and how many still attend watching this seasons shite?? I would be there tonight even, but you have to think to yourself, “what the hell am I doing here to watch this boring rubbish”, so the final home game it will have to be, and another £10 ifollower fee just paid for tonights game. I wonder if the Chairman will be there??????, I cannot see why he stole the ground, because he does not use it, could it be for investment reasons????, no doubt Awaywego and UTI-69 can inlighten us on that question.

Hope you enjoy it guys, and lets hope for a win, after saying that I will settle for a Scunny goal scored by a forward and should not be so greedy. The champion Predictor says 1-3, hope I am wrong.

Used to go to Cheesemans myself when Jeff was alive, nice bloke. Dont need to visit barbers anymore BS most of my hair has dropped out nowadays.

Sooner the better as we know it’s been due this last few seasons.

LOL been reported for one of my most innocuous posts ever on this thread, the mind boggles!

Iron-awe, I used to try and get Jeff to cut mine, but usually fell unlucky and got Jack, you say that you have lost all your hair pal, is it nunural, or have you pulled it out watching Scunny these past three seasons, I still have a full head of hair Iron-awe, it certainly helped not having any tax problems.

I noted on ifollower that there was just the one supporter still attending anywhere near my Cluggy seat, he was in his usual H32 seat directly in front of my old seat, but I noted that he was leaving after 71 minutes, at least I used to stay till the 80 the min, but Tom Newey certainly gave the game the thumbs up, while I thought that it was a big kick up field by both teams, and if AScunny had played till midnight, I doubt if they would have scored, and at the same time, neither keeper had anything much to do, and the pathetic ref did not help.

Cheeseman’s on Ravendale St?

Didn’t they take it over from Drinkwater’s or was it vice-versa?

Anyway, I used to go there, but never got a pudding basin cut!

[Iron-awe]

Cheesemen’s on Ashby high street I went to NI, his number 2 then was a bloke from Grimsby who was a codhead. He used to get some stick but only after he’d finishing cutting your hair, you don’t take chances like that with a demon barber 😂😂😂

The iron should be a big club in the NFL and will be if Keith stays. You only have to hear the passion in his interviews,I think he sees SUFC as a project a work in process. Do you want to watch exciting possibly playoff footie, and goals or another season of bottom league 2 stuff under Keith, because if he doesn’t get the backing from Swann his passion deserves he’ll be gone, and at the moment he’s more passionate than Swann. I think Tom Newey hit the nail on the head on Saturday, “we need to rebuild from below” Dropping down a league IMO has to be better than the alternative, maybe we could even dream,and as a none league club, worth less and ripe for a takeover

[alcazar]

All well and good.
Except…

1. If the owner ain’t interested the money will be peanuts. And he does NOT appear to be interested.
2. If the budget is peanuts we won’t be a “big club” in NL. We’ll be scratting around for players no-one else wants. A bit like now, and this present team would flounder in NL.
3. York City probably consoled themselves with your type of thinking when they went down. Remind us where they are?

I admire your enthusiasm, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Easy for Newey to say, presumably he still gets paid to turn up whichever league we’re in, whereas ordinary fans have to pay to watch this excitement. We don’t want to go down, even if we all know it’s definitely going to happen, but it doesn’t mean we have to be happy about it.

Maybe just maybe if we’re lucky we could avoid relegation if a third world war breaks out, and maybe Swann could build his new ground if we get nuked.

Hmmmm… be careful what you wish for.

Ideally, we need rebuilding from ABOVE Beefy. Only my opinion of course…

Nimmos barbers was always very good used to do a nice razored in parting.

[BobbyGmeister]

We need 2.25 points per game. Even I’ve got to admit it’s not going to happen…☹️

I predict we’ll be relegated during Lent!

Will bpg be ‘giving up’ points?

[Bartoniron66]

Think the first nails where hammered in last night! just can’t see us winning 3 more games this season let alone 3 more then the other teams around us.

30 points will represent an achievement from this position.

Think the coffin is more metal than wood now it’s had that many final nails hammered in.

Yes no great escape here .. i could see us playing the rest of the season without a win with this mismatch and melting pot of youth “experience” and guys no one else wanted…

OH WE AE SINGING PLEASE GIVE US A GOAL .. a song from the Old Show Ground days very apt for the 2022 debacle

Whilst we are not mathematically relegated yet, the fat lady has been singing for quite some time and realistically the rest of the teams in the relegation battle are already considering us as relegated.

When you look at the average points per game over the last 5 matches, and the 9 point gap to safety (10 if you include goal difference), there is no way on earth that this club is staying up! I feel we’ll struggle to get beyond 32 points for the season!

[apb]

The trap door will open with 4 or 5 games to go I reckon when we’ll be a dozen points adrift or something like that – so ETA is over Easter at Orient away or home to Stevenage.

A nice little Easter gift for us all from out glorious leader.

There’ll be no resurrection at GP, but perhaps we can consider a crucifixion?

Anyway, at least we’ll be spared any last day agony and our recruitment dream team will have plenty of time before the season ends to start making God only knows what sort of plans for next season.

[Iron-awe]

Wonder if our glorious leader might attend one of the Easter fixtures, possibly riding on a donkey 🤔

I think there are enough donkeys at the Sinking Sands already.

Statistical points probability outcomes saw the Iron theoretically relegated on Tuesday 1st March 2022.

Mathematical relegation will be achieved after game 42 on Friday 15th April.

Relegated with 4 fixtures remaining.

18th April – Scunthorpe v Stevenage
23rd April – Bradford v Scunthorpe
30th April – Scunthorpe v Hartlepool
7th May – Bristol Rovers v Scunthorpe

Dead rubbers!
