    Mr Swann said that the 10 year sponsorship deal was to cover the EFL loan. As in the annual payment for naming rights would cover the repayment terms of the loan.

    So before we all get too excited we need to know that the EFL loan is either repaid, or covered another way.

    Otherwise that will be a future debt on the Iron.

    Time to seize the moment and rename as The New Showground.

    I have been a critic of the youngsters and seen them make simple errors or mistakes and I have questioned their contributions other than the basics.

    Against Hartlepool I thought they all did well, we actually saw some football and players putting in a shift.

    The keeper should have been in months ago and Gallimore hit a good range of passes throughout the game. Young needs to settle down and think a bit more.

    But by and large I enjoyed the game, we did not lose, scored and created a host of other chances.

    I think those so called senior pro’s have been the problem all season. That’s maybe why they won’t attend training sessions.

    I do agree with F row that we will struggle but that’s off the pitch politics, straight down to National north for me.

    Utter shite player as per my post of April 10th.

    Deserved everything he got and then after not trying and showing no desire or passion he actually did something to get himself noticed.

    So come on Nutall show some of that reaction and aggression on the pitch especially in front of goal.

    It may be that we get out of the frying pan and into the fire with new owners.

    We need to come together as supporters of our club and take it back ground and all.

    There needs to be some leadership, Simon Elliot would be my man working with the Fan director Neil Wright.

    All of us could invest a small amount for shares to buy Ernest out.

    There is no ambition from the current regime hence our club being put up for sale.

    There has been no ambition for the last few years hence a policy on youth (quickly abandoned) which left the club scratting about in the proverbial signing the likes of Perry, Bunn, Davis and O’Neill.

    That lack of ambition was carried into the January transfer window where allegedly our target signings opted for Stevenage who have subsequently survived the drop.

    We ended up with a couple of players who made a slight difference Delaney, Feeny and Grant supplemented by those whose contribution has been derisory.

    So with a captain who abandoned ship and took a lifeboat long before we hit the iceberg, the only ambition was to get out.

    Ernest says there are interested parties but how many actually believe him? Not too many. It’s gone from 3-4 interested parties to only 1 credible bidder and that has gone more silent than a nuclear submarine under the Barents sea.

    As older generations would say ‘you reap what you sow’, and Ernest your empty words and false promises are being met with the same contempt you have shown us over the course of your tenure.

    There is one mutual ambition however you want rid of us and we want rid of you.

    Many fans have protested only silently by not renewing season tickets or attending matches.

    Whilst others won’t buy club merchandise or purchase food/drink in the ground.

    I do however wish our supporters had been more vocal and demonstrative in their actions, alas we are left to reflect on possibly the highlight of the season and certainly the most memorable involving a number of small green balls.

    Many people are still protesting by not renewing season tickets until a sale by the current owner is finally done. After many false promises they have learned to wait for an outcome and not rely on empty words.

    Yes Ernest it’s not cost, relegation or COVID it’s YOU.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Tyrone O’Neill got a two year contract!

    That’s good foresight then, signing players then putting the club at the same level they are capable of playing at!!!!!

    Ernest put us in the coffin, but Keith has nailed the lid on.

    Players choosing not to play because they did not want to get injured?

    We are heading to the National League north.

    If this person was the captain of the Titanic he would have been in the lifeboats before the women and children.

    A complete and utter charlatan, couldn’t help himself by talking big and delivering sweet FA.

    What could the poor b####### say, he was put in so that he took the flack whilst Ernest hid in his bunker.

    Disappointed he is getting stick when we should be rolling the shit back up hill where it firmly belongs.

    Another reason given Cliff was to protect it from an unscrupulous buyer, so if somebody in Ernest Pawn’s estimation was more unscrupulous than he himself, they must have been some right C###.

    I wonder if Ernest is hurting as I am, relegation was inevitable and the writing was on the wall back in October.

    But it does not make it any easier, and the poor derisory way we sank without a fight galls me even more.

    I wish those tennis balls had been cannon balls.

    Get rid of the lot of them including the youngsters, we are where we are because each and everyone of them is not good enough.

    Simple as that, they are not good enough as individuals and collectively are even worse.

    Not one of them has given a flying F###, stood out, shown promise, desire or passion for OUR Iron.

    Time to get rid, Ernest Pawn was of a certain character and attracted likewise, players who could talk the talk but simply could not deliver and when push came to shove they had nothing to give and went AWOL.

    If you keep any of this lot our freefall will continue.

    He is clueless, made us worse then any Cox team which was bad, the players he has brought in are utter shite.

    Took us out of the league with an absolute whimper and having conceded goal after goal without us ever firing off a shot in anger, then turned to the kids, which was clueless and hopeless!!!!!!!!

    Quite simply we need to draw a line on the Pawn years and he is the last bastion of those sad times, he has to GO.

    I must be selfish, I want to see good football, players with football ability and passion playing in front of a crowd.

    With………….wait for it…………… wait for it…………a goal or two chucked in for good measure.

    How selfish is that?

    Do you actually know anything about Ian Sharp?

    Not sure why a local lad done good has got your back up so much.

    As ever you miss the point spectacularly not having a go at the new buyers at all.

    Having a go at social media actually.

    Sorry Geoles we were utter shite and have now become utter shitter, constantly play the ball back, wont go forward, cannot do the basics, have no guile, no nous, no pride, no passion, no structure, no ability, no shots, no corners, no leadership, no management and Hillock is seemingly in the happy clappy gang.

    You cannot polish a turd, as Ernest Pawn has shown us. Out with the Hillock.

    Please don’t join the debate if you do not suffer each week as we the loyal long suffering do!

    The team has got worse game by game, there is absolutely no structure to our game or a game plan.

    During yesterday’s debacle I cannot think back to us even having a shot! The Mansfield keeper’s only contribution was getting out of the way of marauding youngsters and tennis balls.

    The team is clueless and there seems to be no pride, passion or effort. That is down to the manager.

    I thought Cox was terrible, but Hillock has surpassed him. And whichever Goon decided to sell Loft and buy Nutella ought to barbecue their left arm whilst boiling the right one in a pan of water along with their head!

    Apb knows the real score, there are other similar stories and many a local ‘talent’ picked at 7 years old whose dad runs the team!

    Then this local talent gets discarded at 13 years old when the bigger clubs kick out their youngsters which we then pick up. Said dad is usually moved aside after a couple of years at U 9 when a coach with qualifications then comes in.

    If you watch any under 16 team locally or school match these discarded youngsters do actually stand out and can pull all the tricks that the pro’s do, going down easily, rolling about, gaining free kicks, the better ones find space and drop off their marker to score the odd goal.

    Watch these youngsters at NCEL or Midland league and they do not stand out or impress against the rest in those leagues.

    So whilst these youngsters coming into the team run about and look promising, non has made a telling contribution ie scored, hit a shot on target, made an assist or won many free kicks.

    Real talent would stand out and I am sorry I don’t see it, Kilmore, Cowling, Pointon, Cox, Hall, Alexander, Adelekun all had something extra and you could see it even in their passing and movement.

    A leader that rules by fear, alienates the mass public who then become too frightened to criticise or stand up for themselves.

    Certain groups or individuals being publically ostracised, then black suited security people employed to protect the name of the glorious leader becoming heavy handed with ordinary everyday protesters.

    A leader having taken land that does not belong to him, and trying to annex other pieces of land. A leader who can orate to the masses but delivers so very little to benefit those masses and then falls on their sword at the end leaving total chaos and destruction behind.

    History………………………..
