Mo Farah, the man who was an also ran until he switched coaches to Salazar. Then Salazar get’s a doping related ban, Farah leaves him to get coached by Gary Lough, and returns back to being an also ran.
Move along, nothing to see here!
I also suspect that a certain facebook group will be going into full meltdown too.

From what I understand the story had to be pushed in front of a team of lawyers at The Athletic before they could post it. Given that it has finally been posted one has to assume that the legal team at The Athletic are comfortable enough with the evidence linking the various identities (Anderson, White, Hilton).
Although I am not surprised, I am most definitely alarmed about the whole situation. I will be interested to read David Hilton’s response. If what The Athletic have posted is false, then surely, David Hilton will begin litigation proceedings against the author and publisher of article, and if not, his actions would likely be seen as confirming the article as correct.
Whatever happens, between the abandoned match ruling and this article, we have an interesting week ahead!
I was at the infamous Darren Deadman match and thought after that game that I would never see a worse refereeing performance in my life. Well today’s ref was like “hold my beer”.
He got just about every call wrong and the abandonment at the end was just farcical. To me it looked like he bottled it and gave the win to Buxton (hence the player celebrations), but I suspect when he had time to reflect on his decision, he knew he had made a grave error and then called it as match abandoned. I suspect the referee assessor may want to have a few words with him.

If the challenge was the reverse way would we be asking for a red? I think if we’re honest we would say “Yes”. A reckless, ill-timed challenge that forced the ref to make a decision. No complaints from me.
I’m going for a comfortable win for the Iron;
ATFC 0 SUFC 3
Attendance: 1286 (782 Away)Right, hearing over. Will try and summarise it in this thread….
Longer than expected, but very bureaucratic.
Iron fans can breath a little easier, we’re not getting kicked out any time soon.

Lol Daz “So f*uck it ain’t gonna come down from York to watch the match” and you say my comment was more like from a school child, I was only reacting to your post and it got the comment it deserved, you really didn’t go because you didn’t get a phone call back lol, you’d have had to have gone to a ticket outlet no matter what, guess it’s a lessoned learned for you with your hectic schedule.
My original comments were me expressing my justified exasperation with the club for making it so much harder than it was last season and the season before, and unlike youself, at no point was I attempting to take cheap shots at fellow supporters!

I did not see a need at the time as she rarely goes to football and the few times I took her to GP over the previous 2 seasons I was able to get them through the ticket office by a simple phone call.
The fact still remains that by simply taking up the offer when purchasing your ticket then your Daughter would have the seat next to you if and when she wanted to come to a game at no extra cost to you, and no extra phone calls/messages on social media tyring to sort out a problem you didn’t need to have.
The fact still remains that I rang the club ticket line 5 times, left 2 messages, and even reached out to them on Twitter and did not receive a single response back.

“Absolutely no sympathy with you Daz”
Awaywego, I ain’t after your sympathy, was just posting my exasperation at how difficult it is to get additional tickets when needed.
“the club offered you not 1 but 2 season tickets for u12’s for free,why did you not take up their offer?”
I did not see a need at the time as she rarely goes to football and the few times I took her to GP over the previous 2 seasons I was able to get them through the ticket office by a simple phone call.
“You could have just gone a bit earlier and sorted it at one of the ticket outlets ”
I work for a large company and manage staff in APAC, EMEA, LATAM, and AMER. With the numerous meetings and my heavy workload most day’s don’t wrap up until around 6:30PM. I don’t live local and the drive from my house to the ground takes an hour.
“Are you going to send your season ticket back in as a protest lol”
That is the sort of silly comment I expect from a school child, not a grown ass adult!

Had the usual pi55 poor service from the club.
I have been trying all day to get a u12’s ticket for my daughter for tonight. I am a season ticket holder and wanted to get her a free u12 ticket sat next to me. I cannot get the free ticket from the online ticket system as u12’s must have a full price ticket purchased at the same time. I have rang the SUFC ticket office 5 times today with no answer, left two messages for them to contact me, and even contacted them via X (the artist formally known as Twitter), all to no avail.
So f*ck, it ain’t gonna bother coming down from York to watch the match!
Nuneaton away, oh the memories are flooding back!

I’m not reading too much into this *just yet* as it could well be a legitimate mistake / delay however; we do need to keep a keen eye on this as I believe the current custodian of our club has had a company struck off by Companies House recently due to not filing accounts.
In non-league I suspect budgets are dictated by attendances, and looking at the average attendances in NLN for the 22/23 seasion (link below) I would suggest that we will have the largest average attendance for the coming season (especially if we are doing well).

If we can keep him off the physio’s bench then we have just made one hell of a signing!
OK, another question for the Brexit supporters.
What benefits did you expect Brexit would bring to this country?

Surely nobody still believes that Brexit was a good thing?

Maybe a joint venture with local council to develop the facilities so teh club can use them for training.

In answer to the op question:
I would be frickin livid, and would set about claiming a ST refund as it was purchased in good faith that the club would be playing their home matches at GP.
I’ve just been watching a few Jimmy Dean pre-match and post-match interviews. Apart from the overuse of “you know” as fillers, what struck me was just how uncomfortable he is in the interviews. He keeps touching and scratching his hair, neck, ears, nose, face as a ‘soother’.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a manager look so uncomfortable in interviews.
1 user thanked author for this post.
I think all but the most delusional realise that the appointment of Jimmy Dean was a *huge* mistake. He can barely string an articulate sentence together, drops players at a whim, blames players in post-match interviews, and has the tactical genius of a badger playing chess. Nothing about Jimmy Dean makes me think he is the man to turn the failed performances around, and going into next season with him as manager will likely be a waste of a pre-season.
Combine that with how Hilton announced the appointment of Jimmy Dean, the closure of the academy, the numerous U-turns, and worryingly you have someone with a history of making bad decisions. Some might say that the U-turns show he is listening to the fans. Whilst there is truth in that, you must wonder what thought and planning went into those decisions in the first place.
I’ve said this before, Hilton got off to a promising start with the payment of the tax bill, keeping the club afloat, and funding the squad. But since then, things have gone downhill faster than a shopping trolley full of fat kids.
For me, the jury is still deliberating, awaiting the ground purchase, and the publishing of his plans for the club.

The stats I posted were from the important part of the season, where we were playing the teams in and around us. Again, the stats don’t lie, his record, when it counts for Scunthorpe United a beyond poor.
