Recommended to one of the owners by the owners of a club at the M180, enough said.

I know little about pitches and how long they need to be left before use but one month seems a bit soon. Or is that the standard time, if it’s decent quality?

No, usual time is a lot longer but when a cowboy firm claims they have “miracle quick growing seed” and customer falls for it!!!
It hadn’t been relaid the season before because Hilton wouldn’t pay for it so IMO it should’ve been turfed instead of scraped and seeded.

[sufc_not_on_tour]

The pitch.
An ex,ex,ex Director recommend and engaged the cowboys that relaid the pitch last close season, one of the reasons why he got his 3rd ex.
The cowboy firm claimed that from laying to being suitable for use was a month, the reason that the club carried on letting out the pitch up to 3 times a day for a further month after the season ended.
As it became clear that the pitch, a month after being laid was never going to be ready a new team was brought in to attempt to salvage the pitch forcing a pre season friendly to be cancelled.
Whose fault is it?
An ex,ex, ex Director for engaging cowboys, and the club for believing him.
Will the pitch last the season?
I very much doubt it.
Was the pitch the reason for Ross Barrows injury?
Certainly a contributing factor.
All we can do as supporters is wish him as speedy recovery as is possible.

The only person on the forum I’ve come across that appears to have a problem with Jerry Mahoney is you.
You have some weird obsession which says more about you than it does him.

He’s now taken to reporting to the police anyone posting anything on social media that he doesn’t like.
In return the local police have taken to tracking down, visiting and issuing Community Resolution Orders.

Vanity project for Maw and he’s roped in Mahony who’s partial to a Freebie or 100. Go away FFS and support the team from the Terraces like everyone else.

The same Jerry Mahoney that’s volunteered at the club for the best part of 50 years without ever taking anything for it.
Wow, you really are a bitter man!

It will never happen, not during the tenure of the current owners.

[sufc_not_on_tour]

I’ve just watched the YouTube video that Maw has posted.
Demanding Ellis is removed from the board of the trust before playing the mental health card.
Bloody attention seeker, but not as big an attention seeker as our local wannabe Prime Minister Max Bellend.

From Saturday the answer is yes.

Oh dear, I wonder who’ll be responsible for recruitment next season?
Who do you reckon Awaywego?
Have a dozen or so guesses and when you get fed up I’ll give you clue who it isn’t!

Doesn’t matter what the poll says.
He’s here for the start of next season.
As I’ve previously stated, he wouldn’t be my choice to lead us next season.

So who is the jaw-dropping new appointment you’ve been telling us about?

“Jaw dropping”, where did I state that?
The words I used was “impressed with”.
I’m impressed with the appointment, obviously awayyago isn’t but then the only thing that impresses him is his bullshit.
As for when you find out,it’s obviously when it’s announced.

[sufc_not_on_tour]

It was a loan, it was always a loan, it’s in the company accounts as a loan.

[sufc_not_on_tour]

OK I’ll bite.
I’ve spoken to Simon Elliott at length, I’m not now and never was a fan but I’ll leave it there.
Ian Sharp, spoken to him on many occasions, 100% genuine and put his money where his mouth is, I haven’t a bad word for him, he’s Scunthorpe United through and through and doesn’t deserve the bad mouthing from certain posters on here that have never met him and wouldn’t have the bottle to say it to his face, if they did he would just laugh at them.
As for Lee Turnbull, yet again there’s those on here bad mouth him but wouldn’t have the bollocks to say it to his face, not that Lee would give a shit anyway.

Having a well deserved break.
One of two people who kept the club running whilst Hilton was determined to run the club into the ground.
Some people have very short memories with blinkered views.

Pretty sure it was one of dodgy Dave’s claims that the dispute between the club (Swann) and the Telegraph was resolved.

Of course everything that Hilton ever stated was 100% accurate wasn’t it!

It is appalling that there has been so little mention of the Iron in the newspaper. Come back, Bob Steels!

I seem to remember a falling out between the owners of the Telegraph and the club.
Telegraph owners demanding a fee to cover the clubs matches and news, club refusing to pay them, rightly so IMO.
I assume that disagreement is still in place.

Ah, apologies – my mistake. Yes, I was. He also took to Twitter yesterday and was telling people to ‘stay classy’ (I had noticed).

The Ironarmy guy made no such comment, it was the other guy from the podcast, Yorky who was barking out instructions to be classy when he’s the foul mouthed one on the podcast, they were all Hilton supporters so I take no notice of what they say.

If leading the league for a good part of the season, finishing in the playoffs and then going out on a penalty are grounds for dismissal, who of any calibre would want to come here and with hardly any cash to spend? What sort of reputation does it give the club?

In case nobody noticed, it has been the persistent sacking of managers season after season that has contributed to the club being where it is already – in the proverbial cesspit of NLN.

You’re confusing the term “sacked” with not having a contract renewed!
Nobody is being sacked.
The guy from the smoking goat has not had his contract renewed, not heard anyone claiming he’s been sacked.

It was wishful thinking on my part, although I wouldn’t discount it happening.
I do find it highly amusing that you spend time trawling through the forum though, you’re obsessed with me, it would be frightening if it wasn’t so amusing.
