Good start – not! Typical.

So sad, but so true!

I wouldn’t argue with you. I am INCENSED at what my Club has become.

As many as that? O. K., but then that’s it.
We were so much better when the Club “was run as a hobby.”

[inspector]

Don’t we know who is (or isn’t) pulling the strings?

[inspector]

When’s the funeral?

[inspector]

Surely we can win. We’re at home, the sun is shining (in Newbury, at least!), we’re putting out a reasonable team v. one which, like us, doesn’t shoot well so come on. FFS, score some goals!

[inspector]

For fish and chips, I rate very highly Scalinis in Ravendale Street, Scunthorpe.

A fairly tight match. Three positives: we came from behind, we scored from open play and we got a point. A few negatives e.g. we need a striker, greater penetration and more cohesion.

Very worrying!

Hell! I read this initially as 15 miles!

He was 77 which seems about right to me.

It looks as though it is Tom who has died. He was a good chap, a pig farmer from Amcotts iirc and like Steve W. and others ran the Club “as a hobby”. They were far happier days, weren’t they?

Hard luck, Ferrite! It’s cold up North.

I went from the University of Durham by ‘bus in 1969 or 1970. It was a cold, wet Friday night but we won.

[inspector]

In the late 50s, the team trained at App. Frod. Jack told us where the pen. was going and we had to stop it. Happy days – and a real gent.

[inspector]

Sad to say, there have been very few “highs” but very many “lows”. As a shareholder, I am not happy with the way the Club has been run, and that starts with the inward-looking Board which has no room for outsiders (except for the C.E.O. who, of course, is pais by the Board.

Are the Swanns on the list?

If you Google “Scunthorpe salaries”, there are figures mentioned. How accurate they are, I don’t know.

[inspector]

We’ve had a shot. It was not on target.

[inspector]

Look at tonight’s result:
Harrogate 5-4 Cambridge
If only…!

[inspector]

But Bob did play the ball.

[inspector]

I agree. I nearly packed up watching when they scored their second. I definitely won’t be watching any more games for a while.

[inspector]

Don’t worry! We won’t go down. The Chairman said so. Wasn’t it his son who said that we wouldn’t be relegated from L1 or was it some other moron?

He was a good man. Sharpe, Brownsword, Hubbard, Hardwick, Haigh et al. were made of stronger stuff than – you can complete the sentence with your own choice of words. They showed commitment.

I just wondered whether Swann was somehow behind the other Company!!!
The town is becoming very ghost-like.

[inspector]

The players lack skill and knowledge. They are quite simply uninterested.

[inspector]

I wouldn’t argue with you. It’s dire.

[inspector]

What exactly did Swann say about the man who’s been supporting the Iron since 1947?
