The fact we're about to go into June and season ticket renewal packs have gone out tells us everything we need to know about the club.

Absolutely bonkers.

May-June-July.

3 month window to maximise your season ticket sales. Why, oh why have the club denied themselves a third of what is surely one of their most lucrative methods of drumming up renewals?


Scunthorpe's early bird discounts ended on 30th April. Why do we have to wait until the season has finished before we start selling for the next season?

toilet paper would be nice.


Amended accordingly !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

To be fair, I did renew in May...in a masochistic sort of way.

Ah, be fair we didn't know which division we were going to be in, whereas Scunthorpe.....oh, I see your point.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Its been evident on here that I've been defending the club when I can, and to try stop the negativity.

However not having any renewal packs sent out, nearly a month after our final game is criminal.

These should of been sent out with games still left to play! even if we was on poor form, they still should be there for fans to decide.

So so so frustrating at times

There is only one Trophy that this club is going to be in contention for this year,that is entropy.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Quoted from GollyGTFC


An adult with 2 kids is £360 at Scunthorpe in their seating area. It's £465 for the same at Town. How can anyone justify that? I would guess that most people on the Fishy support Town because their dad or a family member took them. If it's not affordable to watch GTFC as a family then where are the next generation of full paying adult fans going to come from?


Here is the dilemma the club face. Do you sell at a higher price and sell less or at a lower price and hopefully sell more?... subsequently filling the ground and making BP look more daunting to away fans and players. It looks to me that the club wont risk that and risk 'devaluing the product'. Nothing is guaranteed but as others have said before if the clubs approach to operating doesn't change then nothing will ever change. Rigid approaches are more likely to yield rigid results.

Speaking from a personal point of view, It's long been my belief since being a trust board member for 5 years and UK Marketing Manager for a well known sports brand for a further two, everything I have done to help to club or suggested hasn't been welcome. Don't get me wrong, the staff at the club are extremely passionate about the club but when it comes to people suggesting things or offering help you are met with a stronger defence from them than we did last season on the pitch. Not a criticism, most people get defensive of their work.

Not sure if the link will work but here is what i submitted to the club re kits and team wear. the ins and out are another story.
