Not much else to say
I don’t think we will go in to Administration.
I think long term, it’ll either be sold or dissolved.We couldn’t afford Administration to be honest. in the NLN next season the football operation will probably be wound up and then the Vultures will pounce.
Support from council could mean planning, land covenants, would not suggest for one minute we would get those millions of levelling up funds that have served us so well so far
Grimsby’s new owner thinks Levelling up money will pay for a new ground for them, good luck with that!
Having a North/South divide would alienate our southern supporters NI.
They’ve not exactly been turning out for the away games down there, have they.

My guess is that it will be announced in about February that the club cannot carry on the way it presently is, which is losing money each week, and with supporters not turning out and supporting the football club, the owner has nop other choice but to liquidate SUFC, and that he has done all that he possibly can do, but support has dropped off and that he cannot keep putting cash into the club in order to keep it going. So the blame will be placed on supporters which is typical of Swann.
His company which is in fact Swanns, will then own all the land package down at GP.
This is probably the fault of the Scunny supporters that have done nothing to nforce any information and just accepted and let things ride, which has seen our club drop from the League 1 play off position, to League 2 relegation, and to the BOTTOM PLACE in the National League in five years, some will say “what could we have done”, well you could have boycotted a couple of home matches and protested for one thing, instead of turning up at GP for every home match and either sat or stood there booing the team after conceeding another soft goal, and at half / full time after defeat and defeat every game.
The Warning signs were there a couple of years ago, Max Bell(For all his faults) mentioned it in the SET (Remember them?), But the Coffee Club denied it all, said things would work out, all and sundry would be holidaying in Blackpool during the summer and United would be quids in.
Well how did that go…

If it is dead in the water why was he asked to mention it tonight.
Ollie Turner doing his job and doing what the Fans asked him to do, Fair Play. And Coxy for going back to try and help the club out.
Is that the real attendance or a made up one?
As long as the Coffee Club takes place every other week, we could be in the Lincs League for some.

A bit of pot calling the kettle CMC but you don’t seem to have improved since he left.
Let’s hope we can turn it around enough to stay in the National League so we can play you again next season.
Erm.. i’m a Scunny Fan
From a Hartlepool Fan:
And now you’ve got Micky Nelson as assistant manager.
Good luck with that,he’s absolutely useless.Wahey!
Hoovers are Class 50 locomotives
And you can put the manager and most the squad in a Class 67!
So interviewers who dare question his future are ‘disrespectful’? What does he expect after so many terrible performances and results? Blame anyone but yourself Hill. Wow, how to kick the players when they’re down – tell them they’re suffering from a lack of confidence. I bet a lot of them have other ideas why it’s all going wrong
Wonder if he will go full Holloway v Tondeur on Ollie Turner one day. Good to hear we have someone asking the questions, nobody else does.

Fold, but Turnbull and Moody convinced enough daft sods to buy Season Tickets so we will limp along for a year or two yet.
You seen his twitter post….
Neil Wright

To all you disgruntled fans out there I’ll say something when there is something to say. At the moment I have nothing to say.He’s used that one before?
I’ve been looking at the crowds the last couple of years to get an idea of what the Fans think, but if there are freebies being dished out again(or was that just to make us look good on BT?)that will distort it.
Something’s got to give in terms of result, doubt it will be today.
ironlion, Neil Wright is there as part of the board as nothing more than a token gesture. Neil has little no power at all within it. I pressed him again the other day and his response was
“I’m afraid he’s his own man, when there is something to report it will be reported by the Club”
Neil also told me two weeks ago there was due to be a meeting which never came to fruition and told me it would be mentioned in this months board meeting and again nothing.
The response above was sent to me after mentioned this months board meeting. I did think he was well informed but the more I’ve spoken to him I’m of the impression he’s kept at arms length, he is what he is, a normal fan who probably get’s to go to unimportant board meetings.
You really think Swann is going to tell him anything ?
Ironlion, if Neil came out and said anything even slightly out of line regarding the club he will be out on his ear. In my opinion he’s not been put on there as a true voice for the fans. As mentioned above he’s nothing more than a token gesture, it was part of the club’s clap trap in this brave new start bullshit, he was put there because it looked and sounded good.
Sorry but it’s true. If your expecting him to come out and be the voice for all fans and start opening his mouth, he’ll be dropped quicker than workaholic prostitutes panties.
The SULSESC crowd have acted like they infulence what SUFC do for as long as i can remember, then when Swann took his my way or the highway approach they went off in a strop. Now they have their man on the board(Unelected)they’re being held to account and… nothing. Just a few short statements.
Was the Club Blazer really worth it?

Is that in the ground or some Fan park thing?
Meanwhile at Banbury
It's 0-0 here at Banbury and I have a new candidate for the worst football cheeseburger. £4.60. pic.twitter.com/zvjvPzBcdt

Like the floors in a derelict building – we keep falling through them and thinking the next one will hold us, only for it to give way and down we go again.
York City were like that, before they sorted themselves out and finally got themselves out of the clutches of… a property developer.

New Concession prices announced. Shamlessly chasing the Khaki Pound.
Following the introduction of a Key Worker rate and a special pricing structure for supporters claiming benefits, the club are now outlining the finer details of our special rates.
Here at Scunthorpe United, we want football to be accessible for all and understand that some supporters have to choose between putting food on the table, the heating on in winter and purchasing clothes for their children which ultimately results in other things falling by the wayside.
Iron COO Lee Turnbull began the season by offering three family tickets to the opening three games for people who unfortunately find themselves on benefits or are struggling at the moment during the current financial climate. One of those supporters taking advantage of the offer, Harry, recently commented: “While the cost-of-living increases, the tickets from Scunthorpe United have helped keep my son’s favourite day out and not have to cut back on other things. He suffers from ASD and watching football is the highlight of his week.
“SUFC is a real family club and the stewards in the Family Zone alway say hi to Archie. The club was even gracious enough to let us pick the seats we always book. Thank again and up the Iron!”
We also understand that the nature of a Key Workers’ shift pattern renders a season ticket sometimes unworthy. Additionally, the club want to support and celebrate the work that goes on in these industries, not only during the pandemic, but on a day-by-day basis as well. A number of companies offer discounts to Key Workers, especially through the Blue Light Card, so why should the Iron be different?!
Supporters can take advantage of the concessionary rate for themselves if they fall under either of the categories on production of valid evidence to the ticket office. These rates will be available for every home league game of the 2022-23 season on a match-by-match basis.
These offers are available in-store and over the phone only and are not currently available online. Once any documentation has been provided to our ticket office staff, this will be noted on your account for the 2022-23 season, meaning you won’t have to produce this again to take advantage of the rates.
For further queries, please contact the ticket office by emailing sufctickets@scunthorpe-united.co.uk or by calling 01724 747670.

How long before they stop printing the Telegraph altogether, when i go up to see my folks there’s always a pile unsold in the local shop.
Are they going to buy the club?
Doner Wrap in Donny Road food kiosk would be nice.
Well you’re getting value for your season ticket, you saw 7 goals.
