Can I have my fifty quid back then?

[BobbyGmeister]

Not long now NI…

[BobbyGmeister]

Well done that man, let’s hope he can get Vicky McClure on board. The higher up the celebrity ladder we can climb, the better.

Done. You can take the boy out of Scunny but you can’t take Scunny out of the boy. Supporter for 63 years, how has it come to this?

Did Swann get us discount at Gainsborough?

Seems not, £25 is “too much” to go from Scunny to Oxfordshire and back.

Spotted dick.

Victory Park will be our 181st away ground.

[BobbyGmeister]

Wow!

VAR in the NLN please, fan phone footage to be available to the fourth official…

I ate at three different carveries in August…

[BobbyGmeister]

Wow!

[BobbyGmeister]

Simple and possibly naive but I would rather the club die than have a ‘dishonest’ owner and all the crap that comes with it. Phoenix club would be romantic?

[BobbyGmeister]

A strong (different) ref please…

We have played at this stage of the competition several times before, the most recent being in 1947 against Norton Woodseats.

I have a very minor claim to fame around this time. In 1945 we lost at home to Yorkshire Amateurs in the 4th qualifying round – the week before my Dad played in the App. Frod. team that beat YA in the league. Yorkshire Amateurs went on to play Lincoln City in the first round proper becoming one of the few teams to have won an FA Cup match but still be knocked out in the same round. It was the only time the ties were played over two legs, YA won the first leg 1-0 but lost the return at Lincoln 5-1.

Gainsborough if they win their replay. Swann derby…

[BobbyGmeister]

Our 178th different away ground and possibly the lowest capacity.

[BobbyGmeister]

24.8.68 IA…

[BobbyGmeister]

You’ve covered most of them between you.

Floodlight failure/bad light pre floodlights
Crowd pitch invasion
Crowd disorder
Player disorder
Spectator death
Referee death
Player death
Serious injury
Wall collapsed
Racism
Player misconduct at halftime

The other one is fire which happened at Nottingham Forest when the main stand burned down, with as far as I know no injury but sadly at Valley Parade where many died.

Most of the abandoned games are due to weather – fog, snow, frozen pitch, waterlogged pitch, heavy rain and thunderstorm/lightning. However there have been twelve other reasons that a match has been abandoned. Can anyone name them?

No idea who it was against but I remember a match a abandoned due to fog, had to wait twenty minutes for them to give us a ticket from the scunny v arsenal game for the rearranged game, must have been before half time for them to do that.

We’ve only played Arsenal once, in 1968 and there is no record of any abandonment that year?

[BobbyGmeister]

As it was a Herculean task I think he only did league and FA Cup matches. Top of the list was Man City with 19 abandonments!

After the great seasons of watching the Iron over the last 59 years, and I have seen the dark days in the 70s when we had little support and money, I have seen some great football under Laws and Nige with a few hick ups in between but the team tried hard to win games and we used create loads of chances whether we won, lost or drew, I had some great days out regardless of results land seen some fantastic players play for the club, but this last 3 seasons have been unreal, the way we got relegated 2 seasons ago with that run in when 10 points from 15 games would have kept us up to the bad start last season and the untimely sacking of Hurst because the Chairman wanted to have a bigger cull last season and bring youngsters in then,then more backs to the wall football from Russ with the home defeat to Grimsby without a shot on target looked like starting another drop down the league until Covid saved us, then the departures in the Summer and the massive recruitment of players nobody had heard of has now taken us to a new low football and results wise, we have won one game with a lot of luck and Watson finally having a good game, well it was overdue after 47 games, but now we have been conceding for fun with exciting tactics where we hardly have a shot at goal but the only grace we have is we have a few players coming back from injury and signed Junior Brown, but will it stop the rot because confidence is low and though fans were pleased when Neil Cox and Mark Lillis came back we were promised 4 4 2 exciting football and we have seen the total opposite, so if this continues I will not renew my season ticket and just go to a few games, if we are allowed back.

And now Mick?

[BobbyGmeister]

Hmmm… hope I haven’t jumped the gun?

[BobbyGmeister]

Pre season, pah…
