With regard to Bennett, he’d be better in a straightforward 4 4 2 probably with Wilson, but that won’t happen with JD.

That commentator, Wishart, is poor. Kept saying Bennett instead of Elliott even in the post match interview with Plummer. Kept going on about no 4th official as if it was just for this game when they don’t have 4th officials at this level, he should know that.

You are right about that Awaywego !
Look on the bright side NLI we don’t what’s happening next week but can in fact book bus travel to the next 3 away games….
It seems a shame that Spenny fans want to buy tickets (what’s that in money a couple of grand income to the club ?) and bring at least 2 buses of supporters on a Tuesday night and still don’t know what exactly happening.1 user thanked author for this post.
It isn’t very good when we find out more about what is going on from Spennymore supporters than our own club.

A proper reply to the question of when the turning point occurred would probably get someone a masters in psychology.
I think people wanted someone to take over from Swann, and Hilton turned up saying all the right things, everything they wanted to hear. Then the steady stream of bad information starts, people dig into their positions, and basically people don’t like to admit they were wrong. Scammers rely on that, many victims of scams won’t ever say anything because they don’t want to admit they were duped. I won’t pretend to know what Hilton’s plan was last week, I can’t decide whether he wanted the bans and the leaked text comment to force the issue and accelerate him leaving or if wanted to isolate the 2 Matt’s and Greeny and it totally backfired. But I think a lot of fans had known for a long time they were backing the wrong horse and needed something bad enough to happen from Hilton for them to say they couldn’t accept it and jump off that horse. Even then I think a lot of people didn’t care enough until the club statement that Brackley was the last game at GP, the confusion with Gainsborough and the actual reality that Hilton was pulling the plug and, if he ever had any money at all, he wasn’t going to spend another penny on their club.2 users thanked author for this post.
Ticket has gone now.

On a personal note, I would like to pass my thanks to Interested Bystander for continuing to pass on information which certainly allowed me to build up an informed view of what was going on.
And also the people behind Ironbru and particularly the moderators as well everyone who posted screenshots of Facebook, Twitter etc, which I have no wish to join, but clearly a lot of this was played out there.
You done good.7 users thanked author for this post.
All the best to her, and the rest of the board.
Thank goodness someone had the guts and ability to do it.
There’s obviously a lot of work to do but Hilton consigned to history is a good start.2 users thanked author for this post.
Rene, AA, please give it a break with all these different threads. I’m sure other people are the same I’ve got a few minutes before work to see what’s going on and there’s 6 threads updated overnight with cryptic titles.

He has gone up massively in my estimation. It was poor last season, he knew it, promised better and delivered on that promise.
He has been conned by Hilton as much as anyone else, if not more. I can’t imagine how he feels getting his dream shot as a manager then having the rug pulled out from under him. I don’t mind admitting I shed tears listening to his interview after yesterdays game. I don’t blame the players yesterday, they were out there for us and Jimmy and must be emotionally drained after this week.10 users thanked author for this post.
It is very humbling the donations from across football but particularly from Mariners fans and their club owners.
Hilton out. There, I’ve said it !
