Good vocal support from the few Gloucester fans, well done.
Noticed that they sang out for Gloucestershire, as other fans have their own county, I may have missed it but I haven’t heard Lincolnshire being sung out by our fans since 1974. What a bad decision it was to create the hated Humberside.“Panic on the streets of Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, North Lincolnshire” wouldn’t have had quite the same ring to it, though.

I watched online, with BBC RH commentary. It was a good first half – a super performance and two superb goals. The second half was a little less fun, perhaps because Banbury seemed to alter their shape which knocked United out of their stride a little bit. All in all, though, a very successful and entertaining evening.

Disinclined to vote as Simon Elliott isn’t nominated for anything. Disgraceful.

How can it be a missed opportunity if the smoking goat have bought the tickets at full price to almost give away (small donation required) for key workers and service personnel with the donations going to Scunny.
This sums it up perfectly. How this gesture can even begin to be questioned is beyond me ?. People are questioning if it has any long term benefit but I suggest you just take it for what it is.
You have a local business “catering company” who happens to cater for us and they’re looking to get involved by buying 500 tickets out of their own pockets to give to people who wouldn’t necessarily come otherwise with the proceeds/donations coming the clubs way.
Swann and Hilton needed to be questioned but this doesn’t.
I thought this would have been celebrated instead of questioned. Baffles me at times this forum !
I don’t think anyone is questioning the gesture, more the nuts and bolts of how it will work out there in the real world.

We all know what encourages people to come along regularly, and playing at National League North level doesn’t!
Winning 6-0 & 6-1 may be a lever but that’s not going to happen every game.
Classic Catch 22. We need to be higher up the FL Pyramid to get the crowds but to get there we need better attendance now!
I think the home crowd is probably about maxed out (ie. about as much as it’s ever going to be in League One, League Two, National League or National League North). The issue is actually the away attendances. This season we can’t yet have had 1,000 through the turnstile in total?

I would argue that this is more likely to replace people who would normal pay full price anyway, not sure it’s going to grow the crowd much. I look forward to being proven wrong on that score.
You may be right, but they need to try every idea they can think of and see how it goes.

Hopefully the share capital that all the directors should have put in should cover it,that’s how it normally works unless there’s a sole owner, then if one drops out and wants their investment back it’s not such a hard blow to a club, if being sustainable means us having to get 3/4 thousand crowds week in week out then it’s not for me, well until we’re a league team at least.
We’re in a period where absolutely everyone needs to put their money where their mouth is, and the Directors are being honest about it. There is a serious underlying message of “use it or lose it”.
They mean absolutely everyone needs to put their money where their mouth is. From the casually interested, to those who never go but claim the town needs a football club, to the businesses that ‘might’ sponsor a game or the matchball… and right up to those who haven’t put in but want to operate at Boardroom level and enjoy the glory reflected from that…

Prediction for tonight:
A poor performance. Decent but increasingly frustrating tippy tappy and no engine room.
Scunthorpe United 0 Spennymoor Town 2
Very happy to be wrong, of course… but it should have been 10-0 last night.

very interesting and hopefully positive news in the coming days .. how do members feel about the possibility GP being renamed THE NEW SHOWGROUND ??
The ground should have been called this in the first place, when we moved.
