Spoke to a couple of ardent Scunny fan mates who are home n away never miss typer guys they are looking forward to the start of the season especially the new places to visit away
As for me … Yep even though not based in Scunny the anticipation is killing me , the first game (Yeovil not an easy opener at all) and then the 4 or 5 games after that will define what our NL life will be like, its important to get off to a decent start …
new owners and a couple of strikers would make a huge difference to my optimism level.
Good luck to Hill and his ” new ” team and all the fans that support the Iron.
ordered mine .. home and white away ..now patiently waiting for Fed ex or the like to drop off hoping they dont go astray or get knicked by customs.

this saga is not over until the cash is in the bank and Swann has left the building and is out of the club totally .. too many buy outs / takeovers etc have failed at the 11th hour and this is not different .. yes great news and im over the moon to coin a phrase ..but thats WHEN ITS ACTUALLY happened. until then fingers crossed ..in fact cross everything including yer ears.
IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO FIND OUT THE PRICE ..

just watched this YT vid .. dont know if its been posted here already but here you go .. being as i have been out of the UK for a while i found it very informative re just how the club ended up so deep in the sh8t.. very sobering and worrying.
apologies if already posted and depresses any members even more.

Things certainly looking more positive now after the great signing of Butterfield … lets follow that up with new owners Swann out the door and a couple of new strikers coming in , if THATS IF all that happens my doom n gloom will have transformed into real optimism and with a good chance of a decent season.
Rumour is here ………. hes sold his bed n breakfast in Blackpool n decided not to sell up and invest millions in SUFC to push on for more future success and regain EFL status.
or not

Just seen a piece on Talk Tv and some BBC bint jouralist slating the England womens team after their magnificent 8 nil win to reach the quarter finals .. apparently the team is TOO WHITE and lacking diversity as all player fielded and on the subs bench were white.. this is a BBC employee the national TV provider and IMO her statement is ridiculous … what next the Nigerian WC side side is too black… YCMTSU

WE NEED STRIKERS ATTACKERS … ok get Butterfeild in agreed but then an absolute must is 2 forwards who come complete with pace, experience , a decent goal return / game rate and some shooting boots

in reference to the current situation at SUFC i cannot think of one remotely positive comment to make regarding anything… its all doom gloom and despair and its all down to one person whose actions over the last few years has destroyed our once great little club.
My planned trip back to Blighty has been dampened by the turmoil and subsequent relegation to non league where i think we will linger for many years to come such is my optimism UNTIL new owners and a whole new set up can be completed … in fact if the Iron get promoted Cod style first time round i will gladly walk from GP to the town center wearing only a flowery hat flip flops and a smile.

It’s like the replica kit saga another absolute shambles. Who dreams up these own goals time after time?
The hardcore home support base is down by two thirds of what is was under Graham Alexander.
It’s like somebody sits there thinking what can we possibly do to piss another tranche of supporters off. Hey look we have served up some absolute drivel on the pitch for a few years and they are still here.
Look 30 miles up the road and it’s a different story on and off the field, Ernest Pawn needs to go so people can be brought in with commercial nous and good business acumen.
Our club stinks from top to bottom and I cannot think of a single positive for some considerable time. My loyalty to Scunthorpe United is paramount and unwavering but I dislike everything about the club.
I will not be driven away by the egotistical narcissist wanker responsible.
PS I won’t be buying a replica shirt anyway it’s f……g embarrassing being an Iron supporter without advertising it.
Nail on the head time .. Mr Mrs Third or fourth Gender Ironking couldnt agree more from your first to last word…

Pleased to finally get another player signed and IMO Whitehouse fits the requirements on experience and part of the spine the team needs .. not overly fussed re his goal scoring due to the position he plays BUT my only concern he has a bad injury record and no good being sidelined for weeks or months.
As previously commented ..desperately need a Keeper (Ohara still free ?? ) and strikers with a plural S .. oh and more additions to that spine and wingers and a right back and ……… yhe list can go on , i reckon we are minimum 5 signings more away from a team that could at least hold its own in the NL.
Many other lower league and non league clubs seem to be signing at will ..the Cods for one im sure the current long running toxicity at the club isnt helping entice players to comeHoping for more to come in ovEr the next few days ..PLEASE
A few words to describe my thoughts on the fixture list .. DEPRESSED DEFLATED SAD UNINSPIRED.. the fact this league or lower could well / will be our home for many many years compounds my grief.
Mean while back the club war room Hill n Co are still waiting for those “value” signings to appear as are the fans.
