I thought Toney and Wooton were superb for us, I said at the time when many players were slagging Wooton off, you can see there is a player there, put him in a decent side and watch him shine and he has done just that!

I agree with everything SS24 says other than the winning team on the pitch part. Every football supporter in the land wants that weather you support Man City or Duffs Dynamo’s!
I would settle for a team that competes on the pitch, I don’t support Scunthorpe United expecting to win every game, If i wanted that I would buy a season ticket at The Etihad and watch multi millionaire’s run around and fall over every 5 mins.
I support Scunthorpe United because up until Swann took over I was always entertained when I went to watch Scunthorpe, win lose or draw we always had a team that had a go and that is enough for me, yes I want us to win every game but if I leave the stadium after a defeat or a draw but I have watched every player give their all for the team and have a right go then I leave happy.
To summarise I want to turn up on a Saturday have a couple of pre-match pints while discussing who we think think will be starting and what the score will be with my lad, have some grub and a bovril at half time, spend the second half discussing what I would have done differently had I been the Manager with the regular faces that sit near me. And leave the ground happy that the lads on the pitch gave everything and if at all possible 3 points.
Oh! And a little cup run every couple of seasons would be nice.

I’d like to know if he had or a medical or not and if he didn’t have a thorough medical, I want to know why not ?
Yeah I’m sure the first thing that goes through Mr Hiltons mind when he’s making decisions is “I better check with Burney first and make sure he’s ok with it”
If I were Hilton I’d clear off, dick head so called fans here don’t deserve him.

Hopefully now the clowns accusing Hilton of wanting to move the club Ilkeston or play home games at Ilkeston (neither of which was mentioned or hinted at by Mr Hilton) will crawl back under their stones.

Displacement of tribes from their ancestral homelands never ends well.
Ask the Native American Indians!Can you imagine standing on the terrace for a home game chanting ‘Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe’, yet you’re in Ilkeston, Derbyshire!
Have I missed the interview where Hilton said we will be playing games at Ilkeston???
You only see the board advertiser’s on match day Cass why would they need a refund or want one.
Training days, restaurant days, shopping days, stadium tour days. People pay for exposure.
What are you talking about??? None of those things happen currently, people pay for matchday advertising…NOTHING else! So there is no reason anyone would ask for a refund!
Same applies to the stadium naming rights mentioned on another thread, training elsewhere has zero impact on what the stadium is called.
I got a receipt for mine.

its been ok for years of success
I was under the impression we trained at Grove Wharf during the successful years? The move to the side of the motorway coincided, with the clubs implosion and tumble down the leagues?
To save time, I’m just re-iterating Daz Reevel’s post, agree with pretty much every word and by far the most sensible post on this thread.

Under Nelson the team had fight, passion and desire he was getting performances from a largely substandard team of players. Would we have stayed up under Nelson? That we will never know now but I would have fancied our chances more than under Dean.

Sensible post les but get your tin hat ready, the idiots may be here very soon
Call me an idiot if you like, but I am not buying “they are a better side than us” you can play better sides and lose fighting for the cause, but to bend over and accept it like our players did on Saturday is completely unacceptable, I have seen many poor performances from Scunthorpe sides over the years but that was the worst of all by some distance.
Where was the pride? the passion? the desire? absolutely disgusting from every single player with the possible exception of Ogle.

First time at Boothferry Park … and took my wife as we were then heading on to Scunny to visit parents. I remember losing her in the melee after that goal … and finding her ten yards away minutes later!! Apart from Wembley and .. strangely … a cup game at Burnley against non league Accrington .. she has never been to an way game. (Anyone remember the bricks being lobbed as we made our way out?)
Remember the Accrington game well, played at Turf Moor and there seemed to be more Burnley fans than Accrington. Sammy Goodacre had a great game that day and always thought he would go on to greater things but he seemed to just disappear from football.
