Great news, I never saw this day ever coming, I must crack a bottle of 12 Year Dimple tonight (it is probably 30 year acually), what brilliant news this really is and I am over the moon to be proved wrong on this issue.
May I be one of the first on here to wish the new owner all the very best, and welcome to Scunthorpe United.

Not been to Barton since the mid 80s. I remember a couple of gobs*** Iron fans from there (not BS), think one of them’s a club singer now or something.
Not two Deerey, there were three of us pal.

Trouble is BS you just don’t have bloody patience before you rush in.
So Iron-awe, you think that a 50 year wait has not tested anyone’s patients ha ha!.
I was reallty pleased to see that it will become true mate, but I very much thimk that it will be completed after my time, and a bloody dampener has been placed on things now I read that 14km of thoser bloody stupid cycle lanes are included, with Bartons narrow roads and over car parking in town, we can do without those stupid bloody things, Hull has proved that they are a waste of money and time.
I am an old fart myself Pat, but have loved and followed the club for over 70 years mate, but would do anything to get rid of this selfish, greedy, brainless fat gobbed excuse for a man that has completely ruined yours and my football club through his stupidity and greed, and support the guys who staged the protest last Saterday afternoon 110%, well done lads and lasses, and I am ashaimed of those who booed them, they are old farts as you say Pat.
I sadly still have that feeling that Swann is 100% intent of taking the club into extinction and will hang on to it until it is sadly defunct, so any other action anyone can take to put the situation in front of other clubs fans can only be a good thing, so well done guys for the weekend protest, and I hope many more join you as you fight to keep your team afloat. UTI.

It was good to see the Scunny supporters making their protest, it is something that should have been done well before now, this evil creep has distroyed SUFC and seems to have enjoyed does so, he has shown complete contempt for the club and even more so for its fans, qand has done his best to see the club sink.
For anyone to condemn these guys as Mick says happened in the stand that he was in is one of the reasons why Swann has got away with all the problems that our club has gone through, and no Mick “after the final whisle would have been a complete waste of time”.
These protesters have endured five years of turning out week in week out watching boring relegations, playing rubbish unentertaining so called football, under managers and coaches that have not had a clue on how to change things, a club owner that has had no interest, and even stays away from attending games, they have dropped from being at the top of league 1 into certainty of sixth teer football next season, they supoport a club which has lost its stadium, has a debt of £12 Million, have an FA embargo on them, now a winding up order from the Tax man, they are bottom of the National League with one win out of thirteen matches, and not knowing when their club will fold.
So do not worry about any point deduction, they are certain to be relegated as it is, and I hope these guys continue with their protests, and that more join in and show their feeling against this evil gambler, I just wish that I was not in my 80s and could join them, but I said two years ago, whilst Swann is still there, I shall never set foot in GP, I detest the excuse for a man so very much.

I would think that if Swann only wants 3.5 million for the stadium and training pitch land, that it would be a good deal for any buyers, with the price of land these days what the hell do they expect to pay???, if buyers are struggling to find that sort of cash, they should not be even thinking of taking over a football club with a following of 3,000 fans!! and to reportedly running at a £30,000 per week loss. That package covers a fair amount of land, and at the end of the day, the club have no worthwhile players in the squad.

I think that the cxlip on Look North highlighted just what this man has done to our club, the town in general and the fans themselves, no one in the whole world would gamble £20 million pounds in four years and not know he was doing stupidly wrong. At the same period of time, our club was driven by him at the helm from the top of league 1 into certain relegation into the second teer of non league football.
Probably what makes it even worse is that the clubs supporters are totally left in the dark by him keeping his big mouth closed, he had no trouble opening it when spinning the mass lies from it.
He has total contemp for Scunny fans, and has never ever pointed any blame on his self for the clubs total surender of league football, yes it is annoying that Swann keeps his mouth closed, but it might help the situation a bit if the proposed buyers put the fans in the picture of what is or is not happening.
Well done Swann, you are the most hated person in North Lincolnshire and I hope that your actions catch up with you before SUFC are liquidated, because that is what is coming sadly so very much shortly, sadly I forcast this a year ago.3 users thanked author for this post.
I am afraid that there will be no happy ending to this story, although I forcast that the end would be a lot like it is going to be, I did not possibly think that anyone would sink so low as to drive a league football club into extingtion, just to cover up his stupid gambling adiction.
He has spun loe after lie over the past six or seven years just to allow himself to continue his evil adiction, and over 6 or 7,000n Scunthorpe supporters will lose their once loved little club.
These latest happenings probably explain why our better players were driven out of our club, and also why Cox was kept on as manager for a year too long, just because his management was suiting Swanns aim of driving our club doewn and down, and the appointment of Swanns son appointment as head of recruitment is now showing why????

Les, with all of those plus points mate, what can possibly go wrong, are you actually talking about a team that is bottom of the National League and only gained ONE POINT FROM THEIR PAST NINE MATCHES HA HA!,
you state that with a couple of wins the team will be back on track!!!!, they have not been on track for six seasons Les, and Scunny actually need about nine wins???. Just a reminder that Scunny have not won an away game for over a year, so the club need nine wins from their remaining ten home matches, you had better lay off that single malt Les!!!
