Be interesting to see Mr Hills team formation n personal chosen.
I am a tad more optimistic but gonna stay on the fence n go with a draw today.1 user thanked author for this post.
This got me thinking about the past Scunny fan chants .. all be it i now watch via livestream how quiet the fans are nowadays .. totally understandable with attendances dwindling and not a lot to cheer in recent times… any atmosphere creating noise is welcome even if it possibly contains a bit of soft racist banter .. ” wings of a sparrow arse of a cow ” ..alas in the UK today indeed many other countries society appears all to woke and having recently watched some old episodes of Little Britain , Love Thy Neighbour and Til death do us part it compounds my opinion how silly things have become.
sorry if on wrong thread btw ..dont wanna upset anyone 5555

The thought that COVID is the main cause re stay away fans is at best an excuse or a cop out not wanting to recognize the real reason which is no buggar likes to go watch their team loose week in week out whilst loosing with out a fight and effort.
I am not based in the UK so cannot comment on the Covid situation there but now i very much doubt more than a hand full are staying away due to it .. i may be wrong.

During his tenture seems a few of Cox choices were strange including his reluctance to give Wilson etc a run out .. he obviously had his favourites. Hopefully being more experiences at this level (in general) dont think we will see the same from Hill .. he has a big job on his hands sorting the wheat from the chaff ..or the semi chaff from the chaff, we may not see Hippolyte play for a while if the rumors are correct on Hills thoughts on him.
Went to the Meeting and Swann totally focused on getting the missing 1000 back.
I m also not impressed with what’s going on to attract people back who they are convinced don’t come mainly from Covid related reasons.
Seem to pinning a lot of hope on this survey but when asked how many had replied no one seemed certain ! Then 400 mentioned but survey still open.
When suggestions put forward to attract new fans there always seemed a reason why they could nt do it. It might have been an idea if one of the Team with Mr Swann had taken notes of suggestions put to them !
Not doing this gives the impression not really interested in what was said to them! Mind you the Meeting was half over before the other 3 were introduced and that was only after someone asked who they were !
They did not seem to grasp or want to that there are a lot of other factors besides Covid that have lost the 1000 fans.
Hill turning this lot into a Football Team seems to be their plan
The Meeting was told by Mr Swann that something is happening at Board Level in the next couple of weeks.The selling of shares perhaps ????

Re the missing 1000 … a combination of
Shit football
No one likes to constantly watch crap football and your team loosing week in week out.Dislike of owners .. keeping disgruntled fans away.
Overall are the club are offering a shit product ?? ..match day experience , crap food and a depressing atmos etc , former regular fans will find other ways to spend a Saturday afternoon .. cutting the grass, going the bingo , a tupperware party or painting the spare bedroom more enticing.
Covid and the economic effect

When you stand back and look at the loan signings and crocks that have come into the club it makes you wonder who sanctioned these deals and were the players checked out medically and to a certain extent rated at all for their talents… Bunn Kenyon amongst others need shipping out ASAP.
Re yesterday ..first have was decent .. second useless , in truth probably a good chance for Hill to see waht hes working with 555 .. a cup run would ov been nice but not overly bothered we are out.ironarmy Gareth summed it up well on his YT channel…always follow his vids.
IMO Loft just waiting to leave , others on longer contracts just taking the piss i really hope
Hill can find some way of turning things around as IF thats IF we go out the league it could well be years before we return looking at the strength and money NL clubs now have at their disposal.Maybe get the youngsters ( Wilson etc ) in cos at the mo their are only 4 or 5 players who should be pulling on the shirt come match days.
No confirmation what Swann has promised Hill on a budget to bring in players now (free agents) or in January but its a fact there are plenty that need to leave.
Next league fixture will be very interesting to see not only the line up but if the players chosen show any change in desire or effort.

Out at the first hurdle.It’s the Iron way, don’t y’know.
YEP sadly thats my prediction as well … a cup run would be handy for the added cash but really staying in the football league is way more important and be able to give Hurst and all the cods fans the finger IF we avoid relegation as they are being particularly vocal on the Iron being doomed already with Hurst speaking carefully to the media re the subject… i caught a sense of glee in his warblings.

Indeed a warm welcome Keith Hill .. i wish him well in what can only be described as a sticky situation. My personal choice was Hill or Adkins ..praying it wasnt Beech , Ball or a Swann “on the cheap” cop out and any other previously connected to the club..
I hope he clears the passionless dead wood and crocks quickly , PLEASE someone tell Mr Hill about young Wilson….. and more so he gets his chance.
UP THE IRON ..claret n blue all way through.

Finally managed to get a decent non buffering set up to watch online … i wished i hadnt bothered , total garbage .. other adjectives should include disgraceful , lazy , passionless and crap..it really is time for Cox to go and the longer he Lillis n co remain the more it strengthens the arguments and thoughts that Swann wants the club to do York Bury Darlo etc so he can snaffle the real estate.
Looking at this current group and comparing them to the past really does sum it up .. worst bunch ever and apart from maybe 2 or 3 if any of them had morals they would refuse to take their salary.
Donny next week ..expect a pasting that will do nothing for dwindling /zero confidence levels..only slight chortle was that the Cods have now lost 2 on the bounce and the national league honeymoon is over ..and a local derby next season still may be on the fixture list.
Im going to watch a local Asean L1 encounter today which all be it years behind the English game would probably beat the current Iron mob at a cantor.
Surprised to see Southend in the NL relegation places .. it could be guess who next year ??
Sad times indeed ..

Dont tell.me Woollies is closed ive still.got a 5 quid voucher from 20011 user thanked author for this post.
I would love to be proved wrong but past history shows Swann has been very quick to sack .. something has changed where now he is so reluctant to give Cox n Lillis the boot when they are so clearly inept at all aspects of football management .. for sure the longer Swann for whatever reason doesnt sack them it will come to the point its just too late who ever comes in post Cox Lillis.. the damage will be done and beyond repair if its left much longer .. a win at home on Saturday against Crawley would certainly keep them at the helm longer .. silly but would another home defeat this weekend be enough for then to be dismissed ??? i doubt it .
Kieth Hill isnt a manager im familiar with need to read up on him and his past positions etc.

Oh for the heady days of Laws n Adkins and a squad with pride, passion and owners that really cared about the club and the fans… SUFC were the pride of Lincolnshire in those days , now a laughing stock.

Thats where we are heading the York Chester Darlo route …. and that is if the Club survives at all as being wound up and cease trading is a real possibility.
Parasitic Swann doesnt give a toss hes holding all the clubs assets and his property developing mentality to make sure he comes out of this ok kicked in long ago.
BTW what is the current value of SUFC IF it was put up for sale ???????

Just read the statement put out by Swann .. WALOB.. dont believe a word that comes out that fellas gob .. the snaffling of the ground and renaming it was done to protect him and him alone.
He says hes bank rolling the club .. getting Cox in on the cheap and allowing him to sign all the dead wood no one else wanted re crocked ” experienced ” Kenyon etc to name just one… also very poor loan signings dont help…but WTF would want to come to SUFC in its current state ??remembering games at The Old Show Ground in the Donny Rd end .. they were great, days when we had a club.
