Metro is bus replacement for last part of the journey.
Rang yesterday and told buses every 15 minutes and it adds about 20 minutes to the journey.1 user thanked author for this post.
There will be no takeover this Season so this is what we got !
Will we go part time in National League North ? That’s if we are still on the go !1 user thanked author for this post.
I have sent him 2 messages and they asked serious questions and he has not replied to either !
I m afraid he is becoming part of the problem.
He is there to represent all the fans and I appreciate he cannot disclose sensitive information and I would not expect him to.
But I think he should go on record to say how the vast majority of fans feel about the things going on at our Club.
Apart from being a Director surely he has also has to be accountable to the various fans groups who put him there !
Does he report back to them ? If so surely they should relay this to their members or if he does not then why does nt he as he is there as a Fans Representative and not Neil Wright !
It seems to me that he needs to be more proactive and not a messenger for the Club.
I thought that it was great that we got a Fans Director and thought that Neil was a good fit for the position but I m sorry to say that in my opinion he has become part of the problem.
Before he was a Director he was very vocal about the Club and now nothing and his PR leaves a lot to be desired.
I also think we hear nothing from the various supporters clubs who put Neil in this position.
Surely they should be saying something or advising him.
Are they happy with how he’s handling the job ?
There is obviously something wrong due to the amount of criticism he is getting from all quarters !
Surely this is not how the Fans Director role was supposed to go.1 user thanked author for this post.
Turnbull has no authority at all.
He is just an employee who’s job it is to run the Club.
Swann knows that with Turnbulls background with the Club he could attract more fans and sell more Season Tickets than Swann himself.2 users thanked author for this post.
Mr Turnbull has done a good job for his boss Mr Swann and that was to sell as many Season Tickets as the Club could to reduce the amount Mr Swann has to put into the Club.
As for Neil Wright he is there representing the Fans and even if he does not agree with all the worries etc it his job to put these worries forward and respond with any replies he gets.
We have lost to a part time team , 10 man team for over an hour and a team who were 3 0 down.
The other loss we were just absolutely awful and I had the misfortune to be there !
But all we hear from the Club is silence !3 users thanked author for this post.
He might as well not have turned up !
Either just stood saying nothing or sat down motionless
Their Manager was and shouting etc all the match.
He never gave the fourth official a moment.
Is Hill really a Football Manager ?
Or is he Mr Swanns way of getting the Club into oblivion ?
3 wins out of 37 says it all and he still has a job !2 users thanked author for this post.
Forgot to mention in the original post that we also have a Clown !
Trouble is he doubles up as the Manager !2 users thanked author for this post.
Takeover is another smoke screen like all the off the field things that Mr Swanns employee Lee Turnbull is doing to mask the very poor Manager and on the showing on the last 2 games very poor Team.
Came out of Tuesday nights game and it felt just like coming out of one of last seasons games !
Nothing seems to have changed on the pitch and I doubt with the takeover.
Mr Swann has been very shrewd in appointing Lee Turnbull who is bringing money into the Club and because of this he has no need to sell.
The only real changes we have at the Club are Chip Vans , Face Painting , Singers and loads of small posters going up around town.
We still have the same owner, same Manager and on the showing of the last two games players not much if any better than we had.7 users thanked author for this post.
Should not still be at the Club.
His actions in the last home game towards the Fans should mean he never wore the shirt again
Anyone in any other business who did that to a firms customers would have been sacked on the spot !1 user thanked author for this post.
If he is staying then we need to sign a Striker !
1 user thanked author for this post.
Nothing he has ever promised has happened so why all of a sudden are people believing him saying various parties are interested in buying the Club.
If he is still the owner by next Season I can envisage his funding into the Club being next to nothing.1 user thanked author for this post.
Takeover ! Same as new Ground , Ground Redevelopment , Apartments , We Will not go down , Will Leave the Club as I found it and many others !
Just trying to get Fans to buy Season Tickets !5 users thanked author for this post.
Kids had all been good and behaved so did nt have to go to the game !

Spoke to Lee Turnbull at Orient.
He was full of enthusiasm and ideas for the future of our Club.
Problem is as I see it Swann owns the Club so is Lees employer so Lee might be full of enthusiasm etc but ultimately like any other employee will only be allowed to do what Swann will let him do.
While Swann owns the Club he will also control the finances etc.2 users thanked author for this post.
Orient could and should have scored 8 today !
Our fate was sealed months ago and the Owner did not have the courage to see it through to the end.
With this lot we will be in National League North in 12 months time !2 users thanked author for this post.
At this moment in time nothing has changed except Swann stood down as Chairman.
Turnbull is an employee of the Club that Swann owns plus owning everything else.
Got out so he does nt have to face the consequences of his policies when we get relegated in a couple of weeks.
Relegation will not be on his CV !1 user thanked author for this post.
The way that Security Firm Director has put things in his statement makes it sound like he’s involved in some sort of military conflict every other Saturday.

I received an email from the Chairman of the Iron Trust which he gave me permission to put on Iron Bru Site
The stewarding at Scunthorpe United FC has been a cause of concern for the Iron Trust in recent weeks.
I have asked Humberside Police to look into the incident of the ‘cuffing’ which I did witness from the west stand to ensure no laws have been broken by the steward.
I have also asked them to look into the stewarding in general and the disparity between how home and away supporters are treated.
John Needham has discussed this issue with Paul Hurrell and is due to meet Phil Jacklin Head of security at Scunthorpe United on the matter.
We are particularly concerned about those stewards giving the appearance of riot police.The ‘ I ‘ mentioned is Tony the Chairman of the Trust.

Look forward to seeing you at the Fans Forum that the Club are over due in holding !
Mr Swann is in for a shock if he thinks he’s got a yes man !1 user thanked author for this post.
One things for sure ‘ He won’t be a yes man ‘ !
He might not have a vote but you can bet everything will be questioned as well as positive ideas put forward by him.5 users thanked author for this post.
I think that Neil will try his best and the fans will get to know bits and pieces of information.
He and Simon will sit at Board Meetings powerless however because the Swann Directors have complete control.
Will anything change while Swann in charge ?
I very much doubt it !
Good luck Neil.4 users thanked author for this post.
As I understand it Neil is not just representing the Iron Trust on the Board but was selected by all the Fans Organisations to represent all Fans on the Board.
