No mate I was critical of the astute businessman that is Peter Swann telling us fans we needed to support the club more and then when the fans turn up with money to spend, they had nothing to spend it on whether that be a pie, a replica kit or a match programme to name but a few!

There you go again, Pat, making daft accusations. It’s pointless trying to have a discussion with someone who claims people are lying when all they’re actually doing is offering an opinion.
Accusing people of hating someone’s wealth, having agenda’s and saying I said catering was the biggest issue with the club under Swann is not having opinion’s it is telling lies!!!
Unless I have missed a post I have not to this day seen an apology to those of us you made those accusations against!
The gambling problem was nothing to do with the new ground not getting built, I and others told you at the time it was never, ever going to happen and was not needed. I asked you at the time how was it going to be financed and I’m still waiting for an answer all these years later, it was a pipe dream by a fantasist that you were sucked in by!
I listened to the Gainsborough supporters and they were 100% right, I placed my reservations about Swann on here from the off about Swann because I took the time to speak to people that had dealings with him at Gainsborough and I was ridiculed by you and many others that have long since crawled back under their stones like the cowards they are!

Jimmy will get my 100% support as will David Hilton, he has come in and told us how it is and what to expect instead of barging in and making wild promises that anyone with an ounce of intelligence could see was never going to happen.

Saying I think Nelson had done enough to be given a shot at the job until the end of the season is not moaning, it’s having an opinion!

The Borough of Glanford disappeared in the mid 90’s, name change is long overdue in my opinion. The Jack Brownsword Arena would get my vote.

The point is that a CEO of a professional football club cannot be seen to be in any way condoning the breaking of ground regulations.
What if he turned a blind eye to the following ones for instance?
“Racial, homophobic or discriminatory abuse, chanting or harassment is strictly forbidden
and will result in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground.”
“The use of threatening behaviour, foul or abusive language is strictly forbidden and will result
in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground.”Nobody asked him to condone the actions, but he didn’t need to go as far as he did. A simple ” I completely understand the fans frustrations but a pitch invasion is not the answer and we as a club cannot condone it” That’s it, that all he had to say.
Our long suffering fans have had enough to deal with without our own Chairman threatening them with police action!
As for the wages being paid late, I would wager Lee’s were paid on time?
From what I’ve read, it looks as if Mr Hilton doesn’t have sufficient wealth to take SUFC back to the EFL.
Getting back to the EFL is a long way off, we are going down this season we just have to accept that. For me I am more interested in somebody coming in to steady the ship, make us sustainable again, improve the relationship between the club and supporters and putting a competitive team on the pitch. Once all that is sorted we might be able to think about getting back our league status.
Right now I would take a season of mid table obscurity and enjoying my Saturday afternoons again.

Well if that write up is true then he’s a carbon copy of what we already have!!!
A big no thank you from me, Phoenix Club with Ian & Simon involved would get my vote, if they were interested of course.

Phew! for a minute there I thought you’d forgot an Iron Trust dig
Well what have they done throughout this?
Any answer on this fans?

Once this draws to a conclusion, I get the feeling the gloves will be off.
Well the gloves appear to be off on this forum already
The gloves don’t need to be off between us supporters, people just need to stop talking crap about stuff they know nothing about! None of us know what finances Ian, Simon and consortium have/had available, none of us know for certain what Swann wants for the club AND the land it’s all guesswork from the usual suspects.
I wanted them to buy the club and would be over the moon if they had, but you know I always believed they hadn’t got the dosh.
You know nothing more than the rest of us, you and Burney talk utter bollocks thinking you know what funds they had or didnt have!

They started pushing ? For no reason?
You would have to ask the stewards involved for the reason, unreasonable to expect me to know another persons reason for their actions.
I am only telling what I had seen which was fans down at the wall and being shoved by stewards.

can you call it a peaceful protest when punches were raining down on stewards at the beginning?
Punches raining down is over egging the pudding a bit, that said any violence is too much. From what I saw the stewards started the shoving which then escalated.

Pleased I never joined the “trust” I have never understood what their role is other than to flog merchandise on a matchday

but think he was angry when he wrote it
Not as angry as the supporters that entered the pitch on Saturday which could easily have been avoided with a bit more communication from LT, I have no sympathy for him, he is reaping what he has sown. He has nailed his colours to the mast now, we now know who’s side he is on and its not the LONG suffering supporters!

what else can he say,
He could have said, I understand the fans frustration, but a pitch invasion is not the answer and left it at that, all the rest of bile he spouted was bang out of order, he’s lost my support now he can piss off with Swann as far as I’m concerned!

We was having the upper hand.Looking to fight back. After this the players lost the plot. The game came close
To be called off. Would they have paid the fine the club would have received from there pocket money ?Your right, best bet is to sit on your arse and do nothing while the club goes to the wall like you and the old farts whinging near me!
