Did note Adele is playing along with Queen ……oh hang on a mo let me re check that !!

Great year 1965 .. legends were born 5555555

Of course im an old rotund balding fella but theres nowt wrong with my ears .. musiC nowadays has no meaning no soul its just noise created to make money with skant regard to much else.

Im standing by my prediction that IF this gig does go ahead twill be a total disaster and Zanetti ran out ov town.

posted earlier and i agree with this
I’m guessing/hoping/imagine that his input is limited to texting some mates “in the industry” and getting a text back that they will do it for X pounds, and on the day he will be some sort of dj…..

What’s the point of spending money on court action when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the sum even if the court finds in your favour? Just becomes good money after bad.

I agree entirely and wasnt suggesting litigation ..more so clarification.
The reason there seems to be no action makes it more of a reason to explain what the debt is for .. i say again its a huge sum of money to casually write off.

Thanks DM that was a real toe tapper and 4 mins (2 actually as i turned it off) of my life wasted .. if thats a Zanetti signing i would rather have my ears blow torched off and all my teeth removed with pliers than listen to it again .. im sure these guys will really move some tickets.NOT

Im with you it could a piss take its that bad !! ..

Maybe its just me but music today is absolute shite when compared to the 80s …isnt it ??

What was the official reason for only being able to pay for season tickets with cash again??

BOSH ??

250k equates to 700-800 season tickets at a very very rough guess

Bad debt on a balance sheet would almost certainly be relating to money we are owed that we now no longer think is retrievable. So, who owes us £250k?

Perhaps a better way to say it would be “cash monies due to the Club, and which the Club could reasonably have expected to receive, but did not”…

This 250k mentioned on the BBC Sounds K Maguire interview .. its an awful lot of money to be owed and be allowed to be owed and without seemingly any action to retrieve it ISNT IT ? with the club loosing 65k a month and fans fund raising and assisting at every opportunity should it be be explained as commented bt BLT a couple of posts earlier???? .

The club is fortunate Butler has managed the squad so well in terms of fitness. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves for this. Don’t have the stats but I would imagine this is the least players we’ve used in a whole season since the 90s.

yes agree Harry .. credit there and also the way hes managed to keep all positions covered even while some players are out on loan ..cant knock B or his staff on that score.

IF ONLY ….. we had not had that run of dire form/performances playing so negatively 5 at the back we may possibly be home n dry by now .. most teams have rough spells including Kiddy and Brackley for that matter.

SUFC is over staffed in some areas mentioned bearing in mind we are in the NLN ..

We don’t know the actual duties and workload, do we – so how can you say that with certainty? Wasn’t it previously mentioned that James Moody was, effectively, doing the jobs of two or three people during the Hilton era? That’s not sustainable in itself – nothing would be given the time it demands or be done with the expertise it requires.

Obviously cant say it for absolute certainty sure .. more so its IMO its over staffed in some areas for a NL club.

Yes Off loaded LT and running with a small squad (well balanced with cover so kudos there) but always seems to be money for non playing staff inc the new CEO who as yet has been pretty nondescript.

No.
Rather see Hiltons extravagant spending on the team. (Would seem not bad in the end anyway seeing we only lost £250,000)
Now what is extravagant is employing a CEO, a Catering manager, stadium manager all tuther office staff, and a restaurant, all very well and good for a team in the EFL but national league north I don’t think so.
All beyond our control either direction.

Im not commenting re Hiltons era as its all to grey but i must agree AWG ..that SUFC is over staffed in some areas mentioned bearing in mind we are in the NLN ..

[ironfromafar]

Talking to a couple ppl on the ground in Scunny saying ITO unless big numbers attend from all over UpNorth it could well be a disaster as local sales have been very slow.
Im sure Mr Zanettis’ recent half time show hasnt helped ticket sales and now this licensing issue may be another nail in the coffin.

All this modern music not my cupps tea and 60 quid for ear drum damage unless the accoutics get sorted …. now if Depeche Mode are signed Enjoy The Silence and Jimmy Sommerville Smalltown Boy worth the entrance fee alone…. no need for snorting moon dust either.

Posted this on another thread last night ( and apologized)

Wrong thread guys sorry but I see Unity Jerry n Co are funding an Easter Kids party .. surely loosing 60k a month and needing 5k a week according to Michelle this money would be better used going to the club not chocolate eggs and fluffy bunnies.

Unless of course Jerry is paying from his personal funds tho it does state the unity group are holding it.

Not being racist or religaphobic (new word) how will this sit with non Christian members of the Unity group what next a kids Ramadan party.

Personally even fromafar i do my bit but dont intend on getting involved with this unity group as i have reservations about the founders and ones with the chek book .. also must be said regarding anything to do with SUFC Jerry comes across as a rather rude know all and very condescending on SM.

Thanks guys im ok.

sugij pleased you are safe .. i was in the Sukhumvit rd soi 77 Onut area going to Prawet when it hit .. did not hang about and got out onto M9 ring road before all bridges and tunnels etc were closed spent today driving up North to Udonthani province….many people stuck in the central Bangkok though i think the sky trains etc are open again.

Sadly lots of construction workers missing at the Chatuchak site

Keep safe if you are still in the capital.

ive been off the radar a as got tangled up in the Bangkok earthquake , i was in the outskirts of the city when it hit but managed to get out onto the motorway ring road before they closed all the bridges etc .. scary stuff bright n sunny yet loud rumbling thunder which actually was the sound coming from under ground not the sky .. power poles and trees swaying and a few roads look like waves in the sea now …not sure how many were killed as some buildings collapsed.

Trying to get up to speed whats happened re the steelworks ?
Whall out injured or sold ??

Back home up North now and be tuning in to the game today ..

Im going for 2-1 to the iron

Conspicuous by their absence this week. Thought Stuart Maw would have had a video out on Sunday telling us all what to think. I hope their raffle (all legal and above board of course) on the bus to the big Lincs cup final went well.

I see some are still very positively exclaiming the “win all 6” tag line when in reality we wont do that ..not with KLT Spenny and Hereford to play all away.
Its gonna be very tight between the Iron Kiddy n Brackley and may all come down to the last day and or goal difference/games won.

So in direct answer to the thread header … im not sure if pushed to get off the fence sad to say i just think we will get pipped by either of the other 2.

Credited to Jason Hinsley on the SUFC fb page

The bell ends on Iron Bru have caused all this with stupid rumours by the half a dozen or so that still bother to post on the site, a site ran by a guy who falsley accused a major fundraiser at SUFC of being a thief and wasn’t man enough to publicly apologise, the same guy that mind boggling the iron trust keep as a committee member Michelle, rest assured the majority of us are 100% behind what you and the other board members are doing and trust you with the future of the club, ignore the morons on Bru and keep doing what you’re doing

I would love to be in the DRE but alas at the moment until i retire thats out the question , that said even though im across tuther side of the world i found ways to contribute both directly and via folks doing stuff on the ground there .. so being out of the country what do i get in return for my contributions ? Easy answer …. my memories and love for my home town club are well worth a few quid and im guessing many other Scunny fans around the world feel the same.

Gareth’s videos are a bit boring, but I really appreciate that he is doing them and has the passion to do them. No-one can fault that.

In general with the Iron Hour crew it seems to me that there’s very little self-awareness. Not all of them, it has to be said, but certainly a couple of them. Particularly over last night’s ‘forgive Gareth’ campaign thread on the Facebook group. Double standards, lack of accountability.

I never bother with the Iron Hour podcast .. not my cuppa tea

This Zanetti fella head full of moon dust is just digging a deeper hole for himself ..there isnt any explanation for his half time demented antics other than hes a bell end

Same here .. i reckon he was sold a pup n fed a loadof BS which got him into this pickle .. seems like a proper nice bloke nary a sinister thought towards SUFC ..he loves the club thats plain to see.
Like his YT vlogs all be it a tad repetitive.

Afew ideas popping up on SM re ways to find much needed investment, hopefully that fifth investor will surface soon .. indeed ive bought lotto tickets today and everything is crossed even my ears.

Agree with the OP, even with an army of Stu Maw clones basic fundraising simply isnt gonna be enough and hopefully the club and fans can come up with a solution… i just wish Stu would take his tongue out the BovD arses and less voyeuristic gushing please… all whilst flogging his footy cards (which im not knocking btw)

The unfortunate thing is it does have an air of predator behaviour about it.

Vultures circling round any poor sods in dire situations. Promising piles of no strings attached cash, except for the opportunity to film people making cups of tea in the boardroom, maybe a 24hr livestream of watching the pitch grow.

I don’t buy the social, doing it for the love of the game angle.

Sympathies to any clubs on their hitlist.

Totally agree i wasnt buying the guys fake “caring for the club n game bollocks” its all about them making money quick and then gone like a fart in the wind …but of course im only a mere pleb of a fan what can i possibly know.
