I am a member of the Iron Trust and I have made my opinion known to them.
The time for sitting on the fence has gone and the action by the fans has created more publicity in 10 minutes about what’s happening to our Club than all the talk and lack of action by the Trust and also all the other supporters organisations have up to now.
In my opinion and I have told the Trust that at the very least they should ballot their members about if the Trust should support protests.
I have been a member of the Trust from the start but if they do not at least ballot the members on if they think the Trust should back the protests then they will get my resignation from being a member and my £60 a year.
What action the Trust takes should not be up to 2 or 3 people !
It’s time for the Trust to stop playing politics.6 users thanked author for this post.
Well done to the young lads who went on the pitch.
You have achieved more in that 10 minutes than months of no action and talk or rather lack of it by the Supporters Organisations.
They have achieved in bringing what’s happening to our Club to the whole country.
Obviously as soon as this happens Mr Turnbull who is Mr Swanns employee so does as he is told like any employee puts out a statement.
As for any police involvement with the fans who went on the pitch in the future shame on him for even mentioning it.10 users thanked author for this post.
Must have missed the fighting back bit of the match !

Well done to all the youth who demonstrated on the pitch.
Should have happened months ago and they have certainly have put older fans to shame especially any who sat and shouted for them to get off the pitch.
That 10 minutes on the pitch raised the profile of what’s happening at Scunthorpe United Football Club to national level.
Any publicity is good publicity !
All those who sat and jeered them all l will say is what are you doing to try and save our Club ?
I was in the Main Stand and with others stood and applauded the youth and told a few objectors to do one !

I totally respect Neil for making this decision and I personally think he should have done it weeks ago and I have previously told him this.
I think it makes a loud statement about the Club.
As for not having a Fans Director we never really have had one in reality.1 user thanked author for this post.
I agree and think he should make a statement and then resign.
It would make a big statement to the Fans and the Club.
What would fans lose by him doing this ?2 users thanked author for this post.
We have a Fans Director who does not communicate with the Fans he represents.
He seems to be accountable to no one !
The Supporters Organisations who put him in this position never comment either about his actions or lack of.
He attends Board Meetings when Mr Swann decides to have one along with Mr Turnbull an employee of the Club but the Fans never get any feedback and when he’s asked all he ever quotes is the non disclosure act.
So what have the Fans gained from having him in position ?
If you read the other Fans Sites a great majority have no confidence in him and openly criticise his lack of communication.2 users thanked author for this post.
You don’t owe the Taxman for long.
You either pay up or they wind you up.
We ve no money so looks like the second option favourite !1 user thanked author for this post.
It’s about time our Fans Director stood up and be counted.
I appreciate there are confidentiality clauses on some things but he publicly says nothing !
He seems to be more loyal to the Club than the 2000 plus Fans he is currently representing
A statement is needed from the Club and certainly one is needed from OUR Fans Director who by saying nothing much publicly most if not all the time has become part of the many problems.
We need to be hearing from him !2 users thanked author for this post.
The whole problem with the Fans Director is that there was no proper lines of communication set up from day one and also rather than quick ad hoc meetings with Fans at games why are not regular face to face meetings held with Fans for any updates and also Fans views put across.
From day one the Fans Director position has been a P.R / Communications disaster.1 user thanked author for this post.
Neils become a part of the problem.
He is now more of a Director than a Fan !
He has no real communication with the fans and a lot of the fans had no idea how he was elected but that was not his fault.
His communication skills are not great a quick dash out the Directors Room pre match and at half time hardly covers this.
Why has nt he set up some Forums which the Fans can go and meet him and ask questions etc ?
The Fans waited a long time to get representation on the Board so how about some regular Fans Meetings Neil after all you are on the Board representing the Fans not Neil Wright !2 users thanked author for this post.
I really cannot understand why anyone takes any notice of anything Mr Swann says or hints at that is going to happen.
I think the latest was just to try and get fans back as the Club desperate for cash.
I really doubt that the Club I have supported for over 60 years will be in existence next year!4 users thanked author for this post.
