I would not concern yourself too much with the catering at Glandford Park, you are very unlikely to ever cross paths with it, as you do not attend games as you are not a supporter of Scunthorpe United!… a supporter attends games, pays at the turnstile to support the club and spends a few quid in there on food and beers.. you don’t contribute one penny!… you are a fan Mr Deereyme.. not a supporter.. unlike some of the people you slag of, who pay good money to follow the Iron.
Just hope you don’t decide to follow Ilkeston with your financial contribution, we wouldn’t be able to buy a corner flag with it! Stop all your crap posts to cause unrest among genuine fans… and give everyone a break from your negative posts day in day out!
Take a holiday somewhere away from your keyboard!No connection to Ilkeston?… if it wasn’t for the fact the Ilkeston town Chairman saved your club there wouldn’t be a Scunthorpe Utd!!!
Think I will log out here for a good while and avoid silly comments like yours.3 users thanked author for this post.

I do not disagree with most of what you say, you are obviously a good lifelong supporter of the club, well done with that.
What I don’t agree with you is how this guy was/is allowed to proceed with his persnal agenda, using Scunthorpe United as his medium to spout his abuse and allegations, it was blatenly obvious from day one that he could not give a toss if it destabilised your club(or closed it), it would not have happened at Ilkeston, he would have been off loaded very quickly.
Yes of course you are entitled to wonder why Hilton brought the club, I wonder why Abramovich brought Chelsea, and the Arabs brought Newcastle?.. the difference is I can not get the chance to ask them?,(not that I actually care) whereas you have had that chance according to your post.
My son at Ilkeston gets asked almost daily about the club, most of it is positive, sometimes negative, but never abusive, he explains things the best he can, whether it be signings, forward planning,etc and although not always the answers wanted, nobody goes onto social media to air grievances either way.
Here at Scunthorpe social media is a very prominent part of the club, which in my opinion is not always a good thing, mainly because negative issues seem to occupy far more posts than positive ones.
To me, it seems that Whatever Hilton does, or doesn’t do, is praised,or criticised, by one half of the supporters or the other half!…. you must admit that can be very tedious for anyone, when it is endless don’t you think ?…
I know personally he spend a lot of time and effort trying to get through all the issues, and it can not be forgotten he has a missus and three young kids, that would be a lot for most people,me certainly, never mind trying to sort the mess at Scunthorpe without some guy pushing negative posts daily we have all seen more times than the wife recently.

That would be great, look forward to seeing you.
I will post when I know the matches I am attending, I have to make sure it does not clash with Ilkeston or if I have a function on an evening I would like to attend, but hopefully it won’t be so long, I have enjoyed every match watching Scunthorpe, being honest not with the standard of football but the passion of the fans, I always mix at games and interact with anyone standing near me, especially at the bar!1 user thanked author for this post.

Your name changed because of predictive text, and I did not read before sending.. so sorry my fault for not checking.
I think you maybe are reading my texts as they are sent?, mainly because written words have little or no inflection?
I do respect you, and you are very welcome to yout opinions, they are not offensive in any way, even if I don’t agree with them all.
You have stated you do not get to so many matches and sometimes because of finances, that’s fine (and honest as well, not so many people would say that)
You are welcome to come as my guest to the next Scunthorpe match I attend, I will buy your ticket and pay your taxi there and back, and we can discuss our disagreements in a friendly manner and hopefully put them to bed…and if we don’t I will shake your hand and wish you well… up to you, I keep my word with everything.
Ps I am not so tech savvy and would have sent this as a private message if it was possible… I don’t know?… some sites you canMore chance of the world exploding than him turning up at a match and asking Hilton to his face anything he has concerns about?…. but why not?. Others have, and been no problems…

Hi awaywego and MK Iron.
(Said in fun) I know someone who has got all the boxes so think it won’t be a problem.. maybe if they are all full we can have the boardroom.
(Confident there won’t be a problem)
I will go through your fixtures later and see how they correspond with Ilkestons midweek fixtures and maybe find a suitable match?
Our fixtures throw up us at Whitby new years day, missus was not pleased about, but is now, as week have booked in a hotel for 3 days new year at whitby, she is not interested in football but is a champions league standard shopper so she is going to give Whitby a bash…me, I just hope the shops are shut!Hi MK Iron
It was a pleasure to meet you and awaywego Saturday.
Just wished we had more time to socialise, trade our football life stories and basically enjoy a bite to eat and a few drinks.
I did of course realise you both were aware that it was not so easy with how busy it was, however I intend to come to some of Scunnys games when possible (possibly mid week evening match)… and we can meet again and have some social time swapping experiences, and considering we are of the same generation it should be an interesting exchange… that’s how I found the situation to be when mixing with Scunny supporter’s at the games I have attended, I would also like to meet pat’o’cake who posts on here, his posts are very good and think he would be good company as well
I will get us one of the boxes in the stand to watch the game if you 3(pat o cake included if he wants?) and the young lad fancy it?…. that way we can have a few beers, dine out and down watch the game at the same time…but of course I understand if you want to stay in your season ticket stands.
I am quite pleased at the many pleasant comments from an awful lot of fans who enjoyed their visit to Ilkeston across this and other forums, that is how football fans should interact before and after the game, but of course sworn enemies for the 90 mins in between, we at Ilkeston realise we are a small club and Scunthorpe are far bigger, so it our pleasure to host clubs like yourself as we did Saturday, there was a lot of banter between the supporters not only at my outlets but at the bar as well…. all good natured and not one unpleasant incident all day….. that’s nice to see.Maybe it is Swsnny or his family who post anonymously?… who knows?

Yes you are correct, I am the father of the Ilkeston chairman, never hid the faCt and as far as I am aware it’s not a crime?… I also post under Patrick…my name IS Patrick and I have always made it very clear I am associated with Ilkeston…. so let’s see?… how many on here only post anonymously… well I can tell you… the ones that cricise everything, slag off moderate people or comments… and thrive on negativity, they must be devastated today that Scunny won, played well and kept a clean sheet, not so much to moan about today, probably sitting at home and stamping their feet in frustration at a little bit of success and positivity.
Yes I did know Hilton was buying the club…is that a problem?…
Had anyone been at the game yesterday they could have had a word with Dave at anytime, he was not hiding and spoke to several people from all quarters… like myself.
So anyone wanting to ask me anything…feel free I am here all the time at Ilkeston, I don’t and never have hidden behind a keyboard like the swanny fans..
I am a football and respect other fans as well.3 users thanked author for this post.
Hi Richgy
I agree with all you say about the academy….but not at the level Scunny are at the moment, get back in the league and go for it.
But not when the club is just crawling off the floor financially…plus it will have some funding when back in the league.
Also why don’t the people who rant and rave about no academy pay for it if they want it that much…. deafening silence coming I think?3 users thanked author for this post.
