Just been shown a clip of Jimmy Dean on Sky Sports News today. I really feel for him and I think I was wrong about not going tomorrow. I’ve donated to the fund and will be there tomorrow.

Hilton has debased it using Herbert as a mouthpiece.

Can anyone still believing anything that Hilton has said please explain why ?

I already said in another thread that I wasn’t going anymore whilst WHAM is there.
The banning issue just underlines that.
I can’t go and support a team built on not paying debts, ccjs, unpaid wages, pensions, ex players etc.
Scunthorpe United are cheating the other teams in the league and I won’t support that on principle.6 users thanked author for this post.
I think this is the end for David WHAM. He hasn’t got any control over the situation so he’s blasting any ammo he’s got left with these banning orders.
For the record I am 100% in solidarity with anyone banned by Hilton and his simpleton sidekick Herbert.3 users thanked author for this post.
The great shame is that right now the stadium still exists and Swann does want to sell it, albeit seemingly not to Hilton. If in a years time, GP is being turned into flats or whatever else and we are part time, ground sharing at Gainsborough and looking at a future of NLN and below, or totally out of existence, then this period – Now – will be the point it could have been saved, but it will be too late.
In my opinion, getting Glanford Park secured should be the priority, and should have been the priority over an expensive squad.3 users thanked author for this post.
Maybe use the £2million that was set aside for the new training facility.
Quote from the fans forum statement in May – “ A new training facility has been secured, however its location at this stage cannot be disclosed. It was described as an excellent facility and a further £2m has been set aside to enhance the current facilities to provide everything required away from matchday. This is to include a gymnasium, players restaurant, medical facilities and, hopefully, temporary player accommodation. A state of the art 4G surface will also be installed along with several grass pitches and LED floodlighting. ”

Vultures circling already then. Wouldn’t surprise me after that directors statement if players were allowed to leave by any means possible.

Awaywego, I believe the Scunthorpe United Trust has around £800,000.
I could be wrong, I ain’t no businessman, but that’s how I read their accounts on Companies House.1 user thanked author for this post.
We are hostage to Hilton now, until he sells or the club goes out of existence.
My principles tell me not to go anymore as he is deliberately not paying people who are owed whilst paying for a team, which on paper, should walk the league. I don’t want to go and cheer that team, but if I don’t, and if lots other people don’t then the money dries up even faster.2 users thanked author for this post.
Apart from Iron Insider/Ironeye, I haven’t seen a single post on here actually calling for him to go at any point. Even IB just posts stuff about Hilton and doesn’t call for him to go. I don’t know If there are people saying that on Facebook and Twitter, I’m not on them.
If you read his statement from yesterday he stopped paying for almost everything except the players and coaches 7 weeks ago. People haven’t been paid, deliberately. Sorry, but that is wrong. How is this fair on the other clubs in our league ? It is basically cheating, and in my opinion is absolutely shameful and an embarrassment to Scunthorpe United.
Nobody is making him go down the road he’s taking, except himself. Stop being conned by all the bullshit talk he keeps spouting.
He says he’ll keep the club going until he sells, and not say anything else, good I’m happy to leave it at that.5 users thanked author for this post.
