I managed 15 seconds watching that.
Why these attention seekers post this stuff on the internet baffles me.
Also, why anyone over the age of 16, especially guys with a fat beer gut think it’s acceptable to wear a football shirt is beyond comprehension.2 users thanked author for this post.
I’ve not witnessed anyone on here that would rather we become a phoenix club, I certainly don’t want that outcome although if I’m honest I think that’s what will eventually happen.
I can’t possibly see a judge ruling in favour of Mr Loophole and anyone who thinks there’ll be a new stadium on Glebe road in less than 2 years is deluded.
Wether Swann can be convinced to rent GP to the club whilst he tries to sell it once he’s regained possession would be beneficial to both sides, but I don’t see that happening either.
To ground share would be disastrous to the club, nearly 1400 season ticket holders wouldn’t all be able to travel and non season ticket holders wouldn’t go out of their way to either.
Smaller gates and renting of an alternative stadium wouldn’t be financially viable leading to the inevitable walking away of Mr Loophole.1 user thanked author for this post.
Neither does Hilton receive ‘abuse and insults’ on here from anyone ‘on a daily basis’, as previously mentioned.
I’ve never seen any abuse of Hilton on the forum as suggested by Patrick Nally.
I’ve only ever stated that I’m sceptical, after the antics of the last owner I’ve an absolute right to.
When this owner proves himself then I’ll back him.1 user thanked author for this post.
Difference between IB and this Patrick character is IB has only one target and that’s Hilton, whilst Hilton best mates dad attacks anyone on this forum who dares to question Hilton, describing them as the “usual suspects” and “not true fans”, a bit of advice pal, stick to licking the back sides of anyone who doesn’t question Hilton’s motives for being at the club.
FYI, I’ve supported the club for just short of 60 years, I’m a shareholder and have been for 40 years, I’ve followed them home and away for years.
It doesn’t make me less or more of a fan than anyone else, it does however allow me an opinion on what is happening at the club I’ve supported since childhood.
As for Hilton, yes I have conversations with him on more than one occasion, do I trust him?
The answer to that question is, I’m sceptical and I’m unsure as to his motives for being here.
Why would a businessman who has no links to the town or the club want to invest £millions in a club that’s losing £millions unless there’s something in it for him?
That’s the question you all should be asking.2 users thanked author for this post.
Hilton chooses Facebook to either admit or deny any rumours and knows he can’t fail as the vast majority are gullible and are members of the cult of Dave.
However despite repeated requests from Humberside and Lincolnshire radio stations he refuses to be interviewed.
The question is why, what has he to hide?
A sports reporter on our local radio station asks difficult questions and has an uncanny way of getting to the truth, Hilton won’t speak to him whilst being recorded, why is that?2 users thanked author for this post.
SNOT, jingles doesn’t go anymore the ban at Rochdale was the end for him, his brother Steve still goes as does mad Mick, Steve Pearson and fozzy, never went myself with them but my son and his mates did and they all turned into model citizens of today, it was the tranny van iron at the time and an holigan element was associated with it not necessarily their van there were a few Toppo’s for one, it was the telegraph and Humberside finest who come up with Trent valley infantry after Halifax away when someone with a gem marker daubed TVI everywhere in the pub they never did get anybody for all their efforts who useless were they? but the lads did tone it down after that, great lads and landlords of the country loved them always outside the pubs before they opened up banging on the door even as further afeild as Torquay and Plymouth.
Paul lives in Burton upon stather last I heard.
Long trips we used to pick up the van Friday and away early for a Saturday match.
We never missed opening time at any town we were playing in.
As for Halifax, that was some day, if memory serves me right, we kicked the big double gates in and all went in without paying.
As for model citizens, we all were and still are.1 user thanked author for this post.
Starting to get annoyed with this Patrick’s rambling and accusations on here.
There are no Swann fans on this forum, in fact the opposite is true and I take exception to your baseless accusation.
We have usernames on here because the forum demands it, we don’t have them so we can hide from the likes of you that has no connection with our club other than worshipping our current owner.
Is it coincidence that you’ve come out with the same comments as Hilton did when he was trashing us I.e, we all being Swann lovers and if we don’t agree with closing the academy then to pay for it ourselves?
No coincidence as I’ll take an educated guess that Hilton gets to know what’s posted on here because Patrick monitors the forum constantly and reports its contents to his friend Hilton, hence his unwarranted rant on Facebook against this forum.
Congratulations for the hospitality you showed towards our supporters yesterday, stick to acknowledging their thanks to you on the Ilkeston thread.
Your interference on other threads bad mouthing any supporters who don’t agree with your sons best friend’s decision on the academy, describing them as “The usual suspects” and accusing them of not being true supporters is neither warranted or deserved.3 users thanked author for this post.
How long has this Patrick0811 been a member on irnbru, since March this year. I guess he knew Hilton was going to take over our Club name. Who is he related too? Fair questions I think. Seems he doesn’t think questions should be asked or opinions had. Up to know Hilton hasn’t proved himself in my opinion as to what his primary interests are with our Club. If he really wanted success for our club, surely he like any owner whose heart was in the club, would not be squatting in our stadium and refusing to pay what he has previously agreed on so we do not lose our home. He has done so many uturns and all this uncertainty is not good for the footballing side and in my opinion will not create success.
This Patrick character is the father of Andrew Nally the chairman of Ilkeston and business partner of David Hilton.

Anybody know if there’s a Greggs anywhere near the ground?

A post unashamedly copied from a Scunthorpe United fan on the fans Facebook page, I await Hilton’s reply.
“David White whilst rationale makes perfect sense, how about you review the situation properly before make statements (or rather non official social media posts).
Firstly you scrap the youth, then a week later the kids are relieved that you have listened, now, so far down the line they will likely struggle to find a club now you have U-turned again.
How can you expect fans to be fully behind you when you don’t do your homework first and stick to a decision. We as fans are clearly going to have trust issues after the previous regime, and you are hardly endearing yourself to a large proportion of fans with the amount of on the face of it back tracking and changes in circumstances.
Oh and by the way, if you would rather invest to try and get us back to the league asap, why would you employ a manager with half a year experience at the level we find ourselves with no proven record, it’s almost our very own Ted Lasso when you think of it…”1 user thanked author for this post.
