Don’t think they play at London road?

Hopefully it’s settled on the court steps then we can move on once and for all from the disastrous period of our clubs history!

Possible fracture Waiting update on the X-ray, hopefully just a soft tissue impact injury for him as he looked the part up to now.

Always loved my visits to the feethams before Mr Reynolds destroyed your club with the Ill fated move to the Reynolds Arena and subsequent fall down the leagues, our clubs have a lot in common in that the owner tried and very nearly destroyed us.

It’s obvious that the fit and proper process doesn’t seem to filter out the worst of owners and i’am amazed it still continues in its current form, the EFL/FA must do something very quickly as many clubs are teetering on the edge after bee poorly run.

Look forward to a trip to the North East and Stottie and hope you are looking forward to the trip to GP, hope you have a good season and carry on rebuilding the club.

[Bartoniron66]

For f@%ks sake can someone please,please,please sort this situation once and for all and give the supporters the peace of mind we haven’t had for 5 years.

It’s embarrassing and we are the laughing stock of the football world! Barton , Brigg, winterton and Bottesford town are all run better on part time basis then a full time professional club that we are supposed to be.

Mr Hilton/Smith needs to put up the money as requested and agreed and get Mr Swann paid up so he can walk away from the club, until this happens we are going to be in limbo, so if you can’t raise the funds then say so or pay up and get this sorted.

If the rumours are true then this is a real kick up the backside for Tony! Let’s not forget 2 months ago he was fighting to save the academy (yes I know his job as well) for the youngsters of the surrounding area to have some where to play.

I can see it going completely again or at least going Cat 4 with only an u17/18 team, Mr Hilton is putting money into the club but he is also going back on a lot of previous statements.

It is his money he is putting in but He should remember that he is also playing with people’s lively hoods, so please Mr Hilton sort this ASAP and do away with all this rumour mongering tell us happening once and for all so people who are employed at the academy wether full time or part time can have an idea what to do next season.

[Bartoniron66]

Don’t really think the Hull city squad will be anywhere else other then a very plush sports complex while they are there mate.

[Bartoniron66]

Owen is still a baby in goalkeeping terms So he is nowhere near his full potential yet, he is a very level headed young man who family keep his feet on the ground so he will not get beyond himself.

If it is Hull city then that would be his dream at this stage of his career but wherever it is good luck to him and I hope he one day gets to the highest level.

Hilton excepts he made mistakes! And yes people have the right to question him (rightly so after Swann) but do they need to be so abusive in doing so, we have a club and all need to pull together to get rid of the poison that’s is eating away at the club.

[Bartoniron66]

Understand the the supporters fears and rightly so, But I can’t believe the amount of backstabbing and pure vitriol Hilton and Simon are getting! It appears Only Scunny fans can abuse the man who saved our club.

Simon only wants the club to thrive again and is trying to link the club with its supporters, so those who are writing all these posts and slagging off the two of them please just remember where we was three months ago and give them a chance.

Not been to Boston yet but York’s is a great stadium for the size of the club, it will be many years before we need to worry about the stadium size and even then it will be away fans when it happens.

You can factor in increasing the stand size when planning and designing a new ground so you can add to existing if and when it is required, never really been a GP fan but can moving back into a town centre be a step forward.

[Bartoniron66]

Not fit for purpose ! unless that’s where Mr Hilton is thinking about Quibell as a new training centre

[Bartoniron66]

Still think things should have been left alone when Hilton came in! He has made a lot of his own criticism by making decisions to soon then back tracking, IMO he should have took his time had a good luck at every aspect of the club only then make the decisions.

The jury is definitely still out on Jimmy and it will be for at least 2 months of next season, with the club on its knees waiting for the executioner it’s time to try and have some stability off the pitch to maximise the playing side.

To many times we have swung to axe which is one of the reasons we are where we are, so let’s give them a chance to try and sort this bloody mess by giving our support.

The bigger clubs especially premier league club demand that there young players are automatic picks no matter what, so there is no point in bringing in players that are only as good as what we unless to cover long term injuries.

We do seem to bring in players just for the sake of it with a number not featuring much or not at all, this season we have had Ashley Fletcher, billy fewster to name just two that just made up the numbers.

We have to be more careful in our recruitment of all players not just loans as we appear to have for the last 5/6 seasons bought in some absolute dross, said it a number of times but IMO a director of football is a must along with better and more detailed scouting reports before we offer these players.

Think the spitting issue at Exeter got the backs up at Scunny, he was just beginning to show his true form then we lost him to a 6 game ban, I said to my lad he was far better then anything we had last season.

[Bartoniron66]

You only need to look through the fence at St Lawrence academy home of the academy to see the dire state of the pitches, yes they are not a club asset but they should be maintained to a certain standard to allow the coaches and players to play the game properly

[Bartoniron66]

It’s brilliant for all concerned that the academy has been saved including myself as an employee of it, but it doesn’t change the fact that the facilities are not fit for purpose and still needs major investment.

As it has been said the kit is second rate, the pitches are terrible and the office is very dated, the staff put in so much hard work for the young lads and must feel embarrassed at the facilities they are given.

So the hard work must start again and hope we can get some money through sponsorship as well as the EFL and Mr Hilton’s, so if any businesses are reading please, please try and help these talented staff and young players.

[Bartoniron66]

Read the tweet from the chairman and needless to say it was very blunt and to the point about Marc cooper Yeovil’s manager, the owner has got some big decisions at that club as much as we have.

[Bartoniron66]

I didn’t say I wasn’t going to go awayyego just not have a season ticket! will just go when i’am free and not every home game.

The jury is out on both and I didn’t say they were quality but at least they do try especially Fin, one or both will be at the club next season so midfield is going to be an area where we must by better quality.

After supporting the club for 48 years and seen good times and bad times I have finally decided not to buy a season ticket for next season, like people are saying the club is rotten to the core and is only fit for the bin so that’s what I have done in binning it.

I will always love the club but refuse to put any more money into it as it stands at the minute, some will say you need to keep going to help get us back on the right road but I just cannot justify it any longer and the last 4 games have been pitiful, embarrassing, shameful, disgraceful and an insult to the supporters.

Mr Hilton needs to be stronger run the club how he wants and have a fresh start, I don’t now what is wrong! but it just seems coaching staff, managers, players and owners are at a total loss to sort it and in the players case just take the piss every time they take the pitch, two players in Pugh and shrimpton can hold their heads high and say i’am really trying.

We have one of the worst records it not the worst of any professional club in all of the professional leagues in Europe over the last 2 seasons and it doesn’t seem like it will end anytime soon so until there is some fight on the pitch i’am done.

Rob has only come back this season after being at Barnsley for quite a few years, he left Scunny for Barnsley around 5 seasons ago, Andy only started in September time last year and was making his living as a postie whilst still playing for farsley.
I have been at the academy for 7 years and in that time every season they was a decline in the pitches, equipment, office and generally everything that makes a successful club academy.
There are many stories floating around about what the academy budget has been used for over this time but think it was always seen as then cash cow for the whole club and never rally got used for its purpose to provide the grounding for the future of the club.

Most age groups are struggling for numbers with no u16s at all left at the club! So it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t fulfil these fixtures, believe there is only 5 full time staff as they couldn’t fill other roles.

No one was going to take on positions within the club with so much uncertainty hanging over it! I worked for the academy and trust me it was in a dire state, pitches were terrible, equipment was second right, the office was not fit for purpose.
but despite all this there was still some very good and well qualified people working there, the first team has been siphoning money off for years leaving the academy to get into the rundown, out of date and not fit for purpose dinosaur.
Hope these people get jobs at clubs that will value them and give them the backing and equipment they deserve, as these along with the staff at the ground and club offices are the people who are baring the true cost of years of underinvestment and bad management

Here we go again! As a club we cannot just keep swapping managers when things are not going for us, Jimmy has not had enough time to settle in, yes he has made mistakes and probably brought in to many players to find a winning team.

But Jimmy is not responsible for our position, this took 5 seasons of ever more declining teams, staff and leagues so your not going to change in 2 months what took 5 seasons of decline and bad ownership to get where we are.

Personally I think we need an experienced director of football in the Barry Fry mold who can help and guide him, Lee Turnbull seems to have disappeared but I would also get him back scouting as he has been the best scout we have had.

Having said that football has become a culture of blame the manager for everything and he maybe not make it into next season, but we’ll thing for certain we can not just keep rolling over manager after manager.

Burton Albion but he is at Colchester now.

All this results from this stupid falling to the ground once a keeper catches the ball, it’s was only a matter of time before a keeper got injured doing it and with our luck it was ours.
Hope our other keeper takes note! kicks out of his hands and doesn’t do this stupid falling to the ground, not having chapman (if that is what happens) severely effects our already slim chances of staying up, so all in all it’s f@@k up
