Send the club an email Rene just in case they have missed ALL YOUR POSTS that young Poulter is free and advertising himself… might be worth a punt IMO as desperately need some one who knows where the goal is and how to direct it round a keeper not straight at him Ala “skip” Clunan

Apple crumble cheesecake ffs. Who’d have ever thought you’d see that being sponsored.
Start spending some of the sponsorship money starting with the men’s bogs in the Dre like walking through a bog the amount of piss on the floor.When i read the food n drink sponsorship for the up n coming shindig with the chair i had to do a double take and immediately thought of this thread.. there must come a point where the sponsorship crusade has to slow and fade (until next season)yet as i type the bog seats remain un sponsored and up for grabs thos tho the though of wading through all that piss to cut the ribbon isnt appealing.
On a slightly different light hearted note super fan and all round good egg Stuart Maw is auctioning his SUFC watch currently a bid of 5p is taking it as no reserve mentioned so get in there guys ..i am fully expecting future auction items to include a pair of his match worn underpants signed front n back which should get snapped up and framed for posterity.
Joking aside I do find it a tricky scenario, short term gain, cheapening of a product with a lack of long term strategy (and no doubt needed to settle debts) v a tempering of the need to sponsor everything, the commercial manager should take care of the product being offered, there comes a tipping point in the strategy (or lack of) that other things get forgotten whilst rushing around for money. By rights the grove wharf stand should’ve been closed on the opening home game, no lights and no running water in the toilets. Getting a local company to sort stuff like that out for a few match tickets is sound business. Charging £20 to read out a message for a young fan is commercially reckless, and when you chase the money like that you might treat those less able to offer financial support more dismissively.
Totally agree …

I believe the bog seats are still un sponsored, i did enquire last season but obviously my idea went down the pan….. there cannot be many more things left toooo sponsor.. and IMO we are already over the cusp of over sponsorship which may well be seen as piss taking if it carries on and on and on

Ugly, defensive and very direct long ball under Butler? Who’da thunk it!!
Jokes aside our league performances have been very poor of late and we are hiding behind the guise of our league position, when in reality, we’ve had only a couple of convincing wins and undeservedly scraped a fair few results.
What’s most alarming is just our abysmal our passing is this season. The stuff of nightmares and genuinely wouldn’t look out of a place on a Sunday morning. Considering the football we were playing last season with 10/11 of our starting 11, how have we lost the ability to make simple passes? These are the same players that were dominating possession last season and were criticised for being too ‘tippy tappy’. Now they can’t ‘tip or tap’ to save their lives. We are struggling to string together 3 or 4 basic passes. What’s happened?
Have to agree we need another forward as Fishburn is clearly a work in progress, but a decent midfielder is also essential, as Butler seemingly doesn’t think Brogan or Rowley are up to it. We are desperate for someone with a bit of quality who can get the ball on the ground and get us playing football with some composure. Enough of lumping it forward and hoping Whitehall gets on the end of it. Ideally someone who can create and chip in with goals too as our current midfield are contributing next to nothing goal wise. I think Boyce has scored more so far this season than all our midfielders combined?
Changes needed pronto as Chester gaining momentum after a slow start and we are going the other way.
Agree with that 414 .. especially the first paragraph , despite the final results performances have been far from convincing and IMO we are some what lucky to be where we are currently.

In fairness wasnt a lot to cheer about especially first half .. although indeed still toppa the league i just get the impression many Iron fans assume we are better than what we actually are. I hope this defeat is a blip and doesnt lead to a turbulent run a la Kiddy wh have done just that.
My pre season pick for promotion Chester going along nicely after a dicky start and will be a litmus test as to just how good or average we are.
heres the Scarbor version of Ironarmy…images of the away end and can see just how bad the view must of been.
