Great win for us today.
When was the last time we were above Scunthorpe in the league ?
One for the stats.

Yep, would’ve been the final game of the 2003/4 season, in which we were relegated at Tranmere. Over the past four or five seasons, Scunny have spent roughly a 3x multiple versus us on player wages (before even factoring in transfer fees) yet find themselves below us. Just let that sink in. However temporary it may be, I find that quite hilarious and a measure of the calamitous way the club has been managed. |

You need to spend a lot in League 1 to be fair. I think they are well managed on the whole, but to panic and sack the current Salford manager was their undoing. |

Hurst has already remarked on the Scunts questioning his substitution choice and the Scunts are already moaning at their style of play, break them agent Hurst, take them back to the bottom feeders they are, Swann has already had a belly full of bailing out excrement crowds and listening to their couple of hundred fans whine.
Scunthorpe you have been spoiled and now Hurst is there to restore balance, lets hope you drop through the trap door, you deserve it you dirty Scunts.

All I'll say is remember the poison that came out of them when we went out of the league , beyond local rivalry . What goes around comes around .

Although I'm having a good laugh at them, it's probably time to give them a break, after all they support scunny, are bottom of the league, have Swann as a chairman, Hurst is their manager, gosh they are suffering, but there again it is scunny so sod em, let's hope they cannot even win the toss of the coin this season and plunge into the depths of the conference.

Swann is renowned for not having much patience in managers so Hurst will soon be under suffocating pressure if they don't get some wins quickly, and then where would Hurst be? Less than 18 months ago he was cream of the crop but 2 sackings in less than a year will seriously damage his stock

corrected for you. Trying not to gloat at the moment as its too early in the season....i just hope they are still there in May when gloating really counts. |

Swann is renowned for not having much patience in managers so Hurst will soon be under suffocating pressure if they don't get some wins quickly, and then where would Hurst be? Less than 18 months ago he was cream of the crop but 2 sackings in less than a year will seriously damage his stock
Maybe Hurst and Slade should form a manager double act |

I can't say I'm surprised. His recruitment over the Summer hardly set the world on fire, and he inherited a team with a losing mentality.

Yes I’d agree, especially when MW asked him about bringing players in, feels like Swann has closed his wallet. |

And if they do drop through the trapdoor they will have to earn the right to play in the league unlike last time when we stupidly voted them in. |

Go to your imgur account, top right of the website and upload image, a dialogue box will open and find the file on your pc and click it, this will upoload it to your imgur account. 4. The go to images uploaded and select the gif/image and highlight BBcode on the right of the image and paste that on to your post.

Well, listening to Hurst I couldn't tell the difference from when he was our manager and we'd won, both interviews were dull and his tone was dire. Bet when he was a kid on Christmas morning and he was opening his presents he was a real bundle of joy(not).

For a laugh I thought I'd have a quick gander at their misery on one of their message boards, the links on the club links page it shows links but when you click on them there is no Scunt message board, anybody got a link that works or have all the Scunts crawled back under their rocks.

I've heard this too but I wouldn't take too much notice of this as it came with Slade taking over Hurst when it does happen, we can only wish for that as a Christmas present. However, I've heard from a more reliable Scunt, Hurst will be given up to Christmas as he is known for slow starts and climbs up the table slowly, remember Hurst is a percentage manager, some results will go his way as they often did with us and they'll sadly slowly climb out of the drop zone. I hope they drop into the abyss never to reappear, the most sour faced and bitterest fans ever to mouth breath on the football league, fcuk them. |

I’m honestly ambivalent towards Hurst nowadays, but part of me hopes that he makes it until Christmas (or 21st December to be precise). That game has the potential for one of the spiciest atmospheres we’ve seen at Blundell Park in many a year.
You have to admit though that it’s not looking good for him right now. Four defeats and one draw from his first five competitive games, bottom of the league, a chairman who is on his sixth manager in three years and presumably a top 3-5 budget doesn’t look like a recipe for long-term employment.
After the way things went at Ipswich and now the start he’s had at Scunny, even a man famed for his unwillingness to admit error must be feeling just a touch of self-doubt, surely?

This time last season whenever we had a thread about Lincoln they would be on here putting us right about how great and massive they were, but upto now I don't think any scunny fan has been on the Fishy explaining their side of the discussion, and to be honest I am missing them, be great to have someone to take the absolute urine out off.

Scunts add nothing to any message board but spite, I'm glad they've all crawled back under their rocks, hopefully never to be heard of again. |

Been going since 90/91 and that game and Fulham in the playoffs in 98 are the best two atmospheres I've experienced at Blundell Park.
That Fulham game was some atmosphere |

It's that time on Saturday evening to bump this thread back up, but the way things are going Town will be out of sight by Christmas so I think we need to re-title it to " scunny are still bottom of the league"

I've already said on here I normally boycott the EFL Trophy games but I will be at the game Tuesday (for one game only) to see Hurst back at BP. Given their league position it could be an interesting evening |

PP, suggestion, save your dosh and a couple of precious hours on Tuesday for later in the season when it's the important league game at BP, by then though the scunny away numbers will probably be around 200, so a suggestion to the club, shove the scunny fans in the corner of the Osmond and let us also have behind the goal, BP will be rocking by then.

Around 200, your not expecting the Scunts to be top of league are you with those numbers |

The thing is that he just does not seem to learn does he? Nearly every game has been the same for them, opponents park the bus and he doesn’t have a clue how to beat it. How many times did Town fans see games like that?

Waiting until Christmas is probably something not on Peter Swann’s to do list. They have two winnable looking home games coming up against Morecambe and Oldham - I should think that he has to win one of them. As he pointed out in his interview, they have a squad capable of doing alright in this league. Six defeats and a draw in seven suggests things aren’t so hunky dory behind the scenes. |

Swann has a lot to answer for here I think, I recall that they where in a good place in terms of league position and stability when he sacked Alexander who is a relatively competent and possibly the best they’d had since Adkins. In addition to having an itchy trigger finger he’s a complete self publicist.
I take no pleasure in seeing clubs relegated to non league as I know what it feels like for the supporters, this season I might make an exception.

Things clearly not all happy families at Scunny. Hurst has tried to move the likes of Kevin Van Veen and Adam Hammill on to no avail - both remain at the club with Hammill completely excluded from the squad. Now it appears their centre half and recent Hurst signing Kgosi Ntlhe was involved in an assault which left Danny Drinkwater badly injured last weekend: https://talksport.com/football/598650/danny-drinkwater-burnley-sean-dyche/They probably have a better squad in general, but already there appear to be signs reminiscent of our disastrous 2009-10 campaign. I can see some seriously dark times ahead for Scunny, and that’s before we even touch on their precarious financial position. |

Hurst is the ideal candidate to manage scunny if they go down, he's got 6 years experience of the conference and will be successful, eventually.

Am i right in thinking Hurst only won one game last season? Not looking good for Scunny.

http://priceoffootball.com/scunthorpe-united-2018-the-light-pours-out-of-me/This is fascinating. Losing £90k a month. £9m in debt. Paying interest to Swann on his loans.
Wow! And I really do mean that, WOW!! Incredible numbers they're talking there. £3K/week average last year, and it might not be much less than that even now. Makes GTFC seem almost sane in comparison. God, I hope we're not paying Hanson et al over the odds like Scunthorpe do with their new recruits every season....... |

Might explain their summer signings or lack of. Hurst has made a massive mistake here. His turnaround at Shrewsbury was down to getting rid and bringing his own team in. He's now stuck with a load of players who he appears to be falling out with and no access to budget. Much the same as Ipswich. His next appointment will be non-league.

At one stage they were paying Swanns' company £4,000 a week interest on the loans from his company. Maybe the " benign loans " from JF don't look so bad after all and as far as I know the club doesn't pay interest on them. |

I don't get that either as Sampson has been the coach since July and surely part of the problem? Compared to some clubs we're looking quite stable at the moment. |

Those figures are absolutely staggering at scunny - 9 mill in debt and blowing 4k a week on interest, to be bottom of the league! If they go down this year could be curtains for them. Who is the director getting paid 190k a year - more than Danny Cowley is on for utterly transforming Lincoln in 3 years, winning at Wembley and beating a prem club isn't it? The pressure on Hurst is even greater than I thought - surely swan can't afford anything other than promotion back to league 1 and the tv money that at least keeps their losses down to 5 figures each week!!! |

Fenty is a fan of the club and therefore doesn’t view us a golden goose and really does want the best for us (hence his loans are interest free and benign). There’s never been any suggestion of ulterior motives with JF. The exact opposite is true of Swann, I’m happy we’re not in that situation to say the least.

I don't know how you know what Swann's motives are. Maybe you could share your source with us. There doesn't seem to be any prospect of him getting his money back from Scunny. That article hinted at some tax benefit for the Swann company that made the loan but that would only be tax relief on £4m (I think it mentioned) of the loans, so a fraction of what he's put in to Scunny. It's possible he is in it for the kudos, which could be viewed as 'an ulterior motive'. As for JF not having ulterior motives. Again, same standards apply. How do you know? I don't think he's in it for the money. But it's possible there would be some kudos/ego involved. Which is understandable, many of us fancy the idea of being the 'saviour' of or having control over our own football club (having long since given up on fantasies of playing for, or even managing ) |

They have done a similar breakdown of GTFC. http://priceoffootball.com/tag/grimsby/Had to laugh at their visit to Cleethorpes and an offer by a "lady" of a romantic encounter behind a skip!! We are comparatively financially stable compared to some teams mentioned. Credit to JF for that. |

What I meant is you can be sure Fenty’s motives are purely for the benefit of the club, whereas you can’t have the same certainty about Swann. He’s probably not up to anything but given he’s apparently been sniffing round at Blackpool and is more interested in horse racing, his heart may well never truly be in it. Which is more precarious for Scunny. |

But surely if the loan is to a company that Swann owns ( Coolsilk ) then in the event of the club folding Swann will still get his money back because Coolsilk is a creditor to the club? I must admit I know very little about the world of finance but that is how it seems to me. As far as the " kudos " aspect is concerned I'm not too sure about that either. Didn't he try to develop Gainsborough with a " vision for the future " but when things didn't work to plan he jumped ship? Even the fact that Scunnie receive money from a hotel he is involved with due to naming rights shows a degree of " feathering his nest ". I get the impression that he is a bit of a chancer and now that our Ferrous Friends are at the bottom of the Football League then I wouldn't be surprised if he " jumped ship " again. |

I like that. 'Ferrous Friends". Coolsilk are not a football creditor though so the chances of them getting anything will be affected by how much Scunny owe in transfer fees (not a lot I'd expect, but when push comes to shove and there's no cash...) and players' wages (which could be considerable if they start to fall behind. With regard to the naming rights, that's money out from a Swann linked organisation to what benefit? Advertising. Not really feathering his nest. The fact he jumed ship from Gainsborough to go to Scunny doesn't mean he's not after kudos - could be it's just more kudos running Scunny. Anyway, I'm not here to defend Swann. I certainly wouldn't want Town to be in that situation, beholden to one man to that extent. |

I somehow doubt that Glumford Park is very valuable, and so the club have little by way of assets to repay a £9mill debt. Hard to see Swann getting much of his money back if they went into administration.
The real question is how long will he continue to pour his cash down this particular drain? £90k a month. Wow, that's eye-watering. And it's not as if the investment is being rewarded on the pitch either.

Maybe Swann is waiting for that bit of football fortune to come along,
Swann maybe pouring cash in to keep the scunts alive as he gets that feel good factor, I mean walking round glumford park with all the scunts gurning at each other he must think to himself, I'm the most normal and handsome person here and bless them, the poor mutants, I'll pour money into their ickle club and they will worship me. Little does he know they already pray to a ferrous God whilst wafting around in methane, they love it.

Just to lighten the mood thought I'd bump this thread back up, we are in Mondays draw and scunny ar'nt. The only worry is that they can now concentrate on the league whilst we're dreaming of Man U away.

Town are above Scunny
Not for much longer judging by today
|
| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Funny Jolley won’t be sacked specially we have made profit aswell, the board will see that is down to him, plus no one in the right mind would want to manage with us fans wanting them sack after 6 months, I feel relegation coming on very with all these sackings
For a start Jolley has had 18 months and all the players are is. He has had an excellent chance to do something in the game but I am not sure his strengths are in management. More boardroom than manager. There would be plenty of managers out there who would want to manage Grimsby Town. The trick is picking the right one; not the one who gives the best interview, but the background checks, the style of football played and whether they can get a reasonable squad playing to their strengths. |

The hardest part Lew is that most of us believe this squad is the best we've had for a long time, a squad he's put together which makes me think that MJ is a pretty decent judge of a player, better known in the trade as a scout, but as long as I've got a hole in my fat posterior he's not a manager....I saw it last year and I'm seeing it again this season... |

Where did I say I wanted Paul Hurst sacked?
We went from like 11th place finish to 4th place finish in Hursts second full season, yes it stagnated later on but the Jolley is in his second full season and doesn't appear to be making equivalent progress.

Town are above Scunny
Not for much longer judging by today
Well, we were crap but still drew against Newport who were in the playoffs last season, whereas Scunny lost 4-1 to Crawley... |

Agreed it's a nonsense comparison, and stagnating in the playoffs still means being in the playoffs! (just saying) |

My Fishy colleagues, its Saturday evening and once again time to bump this thread back up to the top again. As we speak we are still 1 point above them WITH 3 games in hand. After the shenanigans that have happened this week I only have 2 footballing wishes for this season now,1) we beat them both home and away, 2) we finish above them at the end. Simples.

At the moment not looking forward to our first meeting of the season, but you never know we could start a long unbeaten run tomorrow that eventually sees us in a playoff spot.

We've got three games in hand over Scunny, they will be back below us before you know it  |

We can't even win a game at the minute so don't count on it. Hurst will be dashing way past us cupping his ears all the way there. |

Considering what budgets Scunny have had, this is no great shame. If anyone had said at the beginning of the season that Scunny wouldn't pass us until late November, we'd ALL have said 'no way'.
We're on a bad run so it's no surprise to see the likes of Denni pop his head up.

We're on a bad run so it's no surprise to see the likes of Denni pop his head up.
Bad run, we've imploded to the point our points haul over the last 6 games is 1 point (lost 5 drawn 1), Morecambe who are bottom of the league and 5 points behind, their points haul over the last 6 games is 4 points (lost 3, won 1 drawn 1). We need a new manager and the board should not be dragging their heels on this, Limbrick is showing he can't motivate the players enough over 90 minutes and as soon as we go a goal down we don't do come backs anymore. This is relegation form something we have experienced before, we are carrying too many players who are showing they just aren't good enough. Confidence may be low but if we had enough players with something about them, then confidence comes naturally, the low confidence may be that a few of them have realised that when the going is tough there is nowhere to hide and certainly at least half the first team have been found wanting. |

Let’s not panic yet. Northampton whooped Crewe the week before, we were certainly much better yesterday and when our three games in hand are played this position behind the Scunthorpe will be put right!! I’m have been drinking all weekend......

A buffoonery trifecta that post.
1. "A troll who pretends not to be a troll". Merely pointing out that this thread has predictably blown up spectacularly in your faces. What on earth are you twittering on about dear?
2. "Go back to your sister". Ah yes, the bizarre football imbecile's philosophy. Anyone supporting a different local club to your own is incestuous. And an additional digit on their hands. As tedious and tiresome, as it is nonsensical.
3. "Go back to your own board". World Wide Web. Read it out loud a few times sunshine, and let the words sink in.

We've given and taken a fair amount of banter and abuse over the years, funny how you should say that when your ironbru message board locks out the casual browser and prevents anyone other than a Scunt from having an account. Just like the gimps you can give it but can't take it so of you pop, one of the 5 villages that's makes up scunk town is missing you. |

When the ironbru was accessible a few seasons ago there was no patter because fairy 64 just banned other teams fans so a bit hypocritical of you Scunt. |

Unless we get something out of next Saturdays encounter it might be better to withdraw this thread.
Ok at the end of September, all was looking well, but in the intervening 11 weeks we seem to have scored just one league goal, which was against the team currently second bottom in the league.
Running out of grounds for optimism for playoffs, but you can never say never.
I did enjoy the 5 penalties v Macclesfield though in the League Cup.

You're like a bad smell, you just won't go away will you...
Time I stopped feeding the troll.,...let's see what next weekend brings...oh, I can just say, we didn't throw a 2 goal lead away today....
You can indeed say that. And you would be right Steffi, my Keyboard Warrior mate. No need for us to go "face to face" on that one. And I can say that Super Paul Hurst and his Claret and Blue Wizards are above Grimsby Town Football Club in the Football League. As we have been for 15 years (and counting). |

For once, probably because you've bored me silly, I can't be ar$ed anymore ..go enjoy your time in the limelight while I enjoy revelling in the fact that as a club wel are historically the most successful club in Lincolnshire... |

I buried my bone with the Mrs 3 times in a row the same night Scunny clinched the League 1 title in Blackpool - you would no doubt approve because at least one of them was "face to face". Come back to me when you have done that Steffi, come back to me then sunshine. |

Did you struggle to get into Glumford park today, bet it was quite a crush squeezing all 3000 in, after 15 years of being above us why is your average this season nearly 1000 less then ours, it must be the fast flowing attacking football Hurst plays.

Ah, its gaffa-gape. Where is this quote about me being GT till I die or something? Or did you just get it spectacularly wrong? I reckon the gates are probably something to do with GY / Clee being double the population of Scunthorpe. Just call me Carol Vorderman, but I think it might be something to do with it. Similar reason why the Targers smash your gates out of the water. Hull is bigger than GY / Clee. |

The only shark causing problems at town is fenty, Anyone that thinks that putting money in to a football club and getting it it back needs sectioning. Typical tory , chop the funding at the bottom and look after themselves. Cant wait for you to take your pretend bond car and 1962 roll neck sweaters and drive in to the sun set and never set foot in our club again |

It's a marathon not a sprint, you never know under our new owner and new manager we could get a new striker who can score, and storm the league. There again we will more then likely have the same old owner, same old stand in manager and same old non scoring strikers.

Ok Stevie, we get it, you've had your gloat and that's understandable, but we didn't see you on here defending your team when they were rock bottom, now all of a sudden you can't stay away. We were the better side today, no question but hey ho, that's football and what goes around, comes around.

Ah, someone else who has a real interest in how I spend my time. Quite flattering! This thread was just hanging there like it was meant to be. It would take a bigger man than me to ignore it, admittedly.
If you had Big Kev you might have won 1-0. But you didn't. And now its been zero days since we won a league match at Blunder instead of 6 decades....Nice one Fenty!

Yes Ralph, I feel your sexual tension towards me, but I am not going to be your Ted. [img]https://i.imgur.com/lYkciPs.gif[/img] Van Veen's finishing was a well taken and what I would expect from a player who is being funded by Mrs Wilkinson through her husbands weekly allowance. |

Surely the measure of dominance is league position, and its been a decade and a half since you finished above the Claret and Blue Wizards. A trifling cup match is neither here nor there surely Shirley?

Think you're right Stevie, the strike was a great finish, he was the difference between the team's. I disagree that we " might have won 1-0 if we had him, I think you would have been well beaten but hey ho. Also surprised he's at a small club and could perform at a higher level. However, the man has no class at all as a person. He came off the pitch and though I hadn't said a word to him, shouted in my face "your team is excrement". Even you as an Iron supporter should find that unprofessional.

My memory is long enough to remember 15 years of league dominance. I am merely stating this fact, sorry if it upsets you. Oh what fun it is to see The Iron win away, hey!
Adults can generally recall events from 3–4 years old, and have primarily experiential memories beginning around 4.7 years old. So on that theory you are about 18 or 19 which would explain why you don't even know that Scumthorpe owe their league status to us, we voted you into the league you never earned the right to play in the football league, that is a sad fact for you, sad face. I'd like you to come back with some facts, since we got you into the league how many seasons have Scumthorpe finished above Grimsby, how many seasons have the scunts spent in what is the Championship compared to Town. I won't hold my breath. Who is going to fund the Scunts when Mrs Wilkinson is fed up of her husband wasting her money. |

I know its 15 years since you finished above us. I can't be bothered to research the points you make - When I started following the Iron in 87, we were the poor relations. And now, we are not. Its not a blip. Its not got much to do with Wilko's / Swanny, Steve Wharton had us sailing nicely along prior to their arrival. Still, if you want to paint us as some Oil-money type nkotb, crack on if it makes you feel better. Thanks for keeping this trending as instructed. |

Time for the mods to step in....we all accept constructive criticism of our club, which at present we thoroughly deserve, but it's been getting personal...from both us and the the other person from down the A180..time to call it evens....oh, and just before I go, look at the header on GET live for the mariners...."the most successful club in Lincolnshire",...a fact that cannot be argued with...I leave it there..

Think you're right Stevie, the strike was a great finish, he was the difference between the team's. I disagree that we " might have won 1-0 if we had him, I think you would have been well beaten but hey ho. Also surprised he's at a small club and could perform at a higher level. However, the man has no class at all as a person. He came off the pitch and though I hadn't said a word to him, shouted in my face "your team is excrement". Even you as an Iron supporter should find that unprofessional.
I'm sure all he heard prior to giving a bit back was 'jolly well played Kevin'. . I'd wager a quid to a pinch of dust he got more than he gave yesterday. I never have a problem with players giving it some back - Billy Sharp got some stick from some clowns when he came back to Scunny with Donny - the same clowns were than up in arms when he gave them some after planting an inevitable winner in the onion bag. |

Listening between the lines to Hurst on RH last night I’d suggest Von Veen would be looking for a move if he gets to 20 goals this term. He’s clearly half decent but if reports are to be believed high maintenance like Hamill and the other kid who’s sat rotting in the EFL Trophy squad, I guess that’s what you get when you overpay reasonable lower league players to stay plying their trade in crummy backwaters. |

I don't need to do anything to make me feel better as I feel great, I don't feel sad or lonely enough to go on a rivals board touting for friends, unlike you sad sacks. So sad you don't even see what is right in front of you. A bit rich then Scunt, quoting facts that only portray you in a good light rather than the truth, we've only dropped like a stone since the current board have held onto the club like a limpet, other than that Scumthorpe was were players and managers we either didn't want or they needed game time went, Scunthorpe has always been the grave yard of Lincs, the place even stinks like rotting corpses. There's no oil money, but to make out you are operating within your means is ridiculous, the minute Swanny and uncle Steve call it a day you are fcuked. Stick your head between your legs and kiss your bottom goodbye. |

Time for the weekly bump of this, which is course 'The Jewel In The Fishy's Crown' no less.
GT have managed to not lose, and also not to score nil, a rare and relatively positive achievement of course for the (once almost) Mighty Mariners.
But alas, the title of this thread remains 100% incorrect, just as it has for decade and a half, as Paul Hursts Claret and Blue Wizards continue their dominance over their (former) rivals, even allowing for a 2-0 home smash and grab Xmas stuffing by the pretend Brummies.
The recently non-league Grimsby supporters remain stiff-necked (some more than others eh 'Grasserz Fun Pub' my mate?) from gazing longingly (for 15 years and counting) up the League Pyramid, at The Iron and their relatively dizzying high league position,

I see another "Hurst out" thread has surfaced on the Scunny forum, a couple of posts from it...
"We’ve missed our chance – Hurst should have been gone weeks ago and we should have Holloway here rather than him been at the Cods, at least he would have injected some passion into the place.
If anyone listened too him on Hullberside after the Cods game he was absolutely gushing with pride. However I fear he would not have fitted the
mould here and conflicted with the hierarchy."
and
"According to Mr Swann Mr Hurst is going nowhere, as a result the gates will go nowhere added to the fact with more over complication our league position will do much the same.
Listen to Ian Holloway – energetic, enthusiastic, passionate
Listen to Paul Hurst – he makes Jeremy Corbyn look a born leader !"

I see another "Hurst out" thread has surfaced on the Scunny forum, a couple of posts from it...
"We’ve missed our chance – Hurst should have been gone weeks ago and we should have Holloway here rather than him been at the Cods, at least he would have injected some passion into the place.
If anyone listened too him on Hullberside after the Cods game he was absolutely gushing with pride. However I fear he would not have fitted the
mould here and conflicted with the hierarchy."
and
"According to Mr Swann Mr Hurst is going nowhere, as a result the gates will go nowhere added to the fact with more over complication our league position will do much the same.
Listen to Ian Holloway – energetic, enthusiastic, passionate
Listen to Paul Hurst – he makes Jeremy Corbyn look a born leader !"
Bet Stevie Cammack didn't compose those lines!!😂 |

I’m not one to judge managers on their post-match interviews - Buckley’s were usually terrible but the football was alright. However, it was hard not to notice the difference in style, outlook and approach when Holloway followed Hurst this evening. Hurst was, as ever, in some no man’s land between grey and beige whilst Holloway was positively psychedelic in comparison, darting off on random tangents and just generally full of enthusiasm. Incidentally, it occurred to me while listening to the post-match interview that Marcus Bignot played much of his career under Holloway (he signed him twice, in fact). It seems really obvious now that his attempted persona was just a really poor impression of the man himself. This may yet work out horribly, who knows, but Ian Holloway is nothing if not unique. Accept no imitations. |

I love the way the deluded f***rs think it’s their divine right to have a manager with real pedigree who engages positively with everyone he comes across and has ambition to take everyone involved with his club forward ....... and is willing to spend some of his own money ......... just like the bloke in charge down the road at GTFC 😂😂😂😂😂 They’re all bell choppers !! |

Scunthorpe don't have the history -Bill Shanklys boot room et al, the pedigree, the partisan support to make a true football man be swept away and instantly fall in love with them.

I couldnt help but notice from Hurst's interview that he had a couple of comments aimed towards the support....something along the lines of "people need to understand that if we play backwards we are keeping possession" ..which i presume means at some point the crowd were booing or voicing their disapproval ..there was another one as well.....hasnt taken him long to get to the spikey with the fans stage. Also listening to Sir Ian Botham who had one or two grumbles about the team selection/ style and in particular the dropping of "Kev" (Van Veen)....and adding what i thought was a thinly veiled barb " the manager sees them everyday so he must have his reasons" . Pressure is building i reckon.....shouldnt be too long before the Scunny fans get told they have been spoilt by beating us |

Oh, you’re misquoting me now. Of course, at it’s peak the football was fúcking brilliant - I was merely making the point that post-match interviews had no impact on what happened on the pitch, you rotter. |

Hello Grasserz mate - seen the table mate? By "banter and knowledge" you presumably mean, mate, not pulling your typed nonsense, mate, to pieces mate? Sorry mate - can't do it mate. Only you lot could carry on with this thread after a managerial bounce had resulted in the thread title still being 100% wrong. |

Factually correct my ferrous fingered friend but 2 games in hand could easily see those roles reversed. Let's see what the situation is like by the end of the season or even by Easter. Are you that confident that you will still be above us by those two deadlines? |

I certainly prefer our position managerial, league wise , support wise
Well to be honest they are a very small club no history tin pot ground
I could go on. & on.
I won’t though because I don’t won’t go upset our friends from sCUNThorpe any further as 2 ex town players scored against them today LOL
I bet Steve Cammack is already tucked up in bed with BIS sister/mother

Scunny unlucky not to win today by the sounds of it, Hurst has blamed, the pitch, the conditions, the ref, a red card for them, a missed red card for Newport, spoiling tactics, the Newport's bench constant harrassing of the officials, 4 players have left this week, would like to bring replacements in but doesnt think the chairman will let him, changes are needed ........ glad to know he didnt get a thing wrong with his selection, change of formation to suit the oppositions style or anything like that. |

Fair point but the the players we had were not even on half the money some of the Scunt players are on, I'm hearing Van Veen has itchy feet. |

I think it also likely that Scunny are desperate to offload the ‘ginger pig’ as his wages are eye watering, even for a club as massive as them...... |

Scunts have a tough game on Saturday, so come 5.00pm we might have a large advantage over them both in terms of points, and goal difference.
But I am beginning to lose interest in them. I think we are header for better things while they are sinking.

I’m pretty sure that this pr1ck is our old friend iron smiler. I got a couple of PM’s off him after offering him the bet. And just like smiler. When it came down to it, he’s just a sh1tout. |

Interesting to see how many of you codheads come crawling out the woodwork. Have to say, that cold December afternoon when KVV smashed in the winner past your lot feels like a lifetime ago. What a day that was though, the look on some of your faces was a picture. The tables have certainly turned and it looks like you're on the climb under a new manager and we are sinking like a stone. Football works in cycles, we have had our 15 years in the sun above you, maybe it is time for you to have your day again.
See you lot in March where hopefully we can actually turn up and do a league double over you.

I would hardly call it crawling out of the woodwork seeing as it is a GTFC message board! More like you crawling out from under that slag heap that Stevie Cammack is still hiding under. |

I see Swann has appointed Wilcox until the end of the season.
Good to tell there is only one relegation spot, he would never have risked it otherwise.

Do they have the internet in Scunthorpe, just asking as there seems to be hardly anyone posting on the Bru. Welcome to the busiest Football forum in Lincolnshire and the only ones crawling has been done by the Scunts, never heard a pip from you lot up the road since you were formed until we went through our worst period in our history and rusty ironing club some how won the lottery and climbed out of the bottom of the pond you occupied for most of your clubs history. Our day will certainly come again, and here's why, you can't keep a club like ours down. We get knocked down but we get up again, because we are Grimsby Town. The only double likely to happen at Glumford park is if you give us more tickets we'll double your normal gate. |

The classic, bitter codhead response. Oh did you get knocked down as well, right in the doldrums of non league and I enjoyed every second of it. Regarding attendances, we sold out our away end at your crumbling ground and could have taken more to boost your gate too. Regardless what happens for the rest of the season, at least we beat you in your own backyard for the first time since 1969. UTI

Bitter? Not sure about that. Scunny fans towards GTFC - bitter. Town fans towards Scunny - dislike, yes, but bitter, no. Lincoln fans towards GTFC - extremely bitter. Town fans towards Lincoln - always been totally indifferent. What WE want is a derby with Hull, because that's the one we used to really enjoy. Alas, we're probably stuck with you and Lincoln for eternity, which is a depressing thought. |

Myself personally, not bitter but certainly seems to be a genuine mutual hatred of each other, but it is what local rivalries are all about. Agree with you regarding Lincoln, absolutely irrelevant with until they went on that FA Cup run and had the Cowleys. Thousands of 'fans' seemed to come out the woodwork then. Interesting to hear your thoughts on Hull, especially considering we have finished above you in the league since 2005 so that must be an even more depressing thought for you. Loved playing the mud rats, especially at Boothferry Park. Proper old school ground and a rivalry i rank alongside playing Grimsby. Lincoln and Donny don't come close. |

It may be old and a tadge decrepit but there's one thing it ain't, it's certainly not a souless sess pit like Glumford Park... As for bitter codheads, lets just say this, it was you jumping on a Grimsby Town forum to have your twopenneth, if we were bitter we'd be on iron bru having a right old pop. Personally I don't want to see Scunny out the league, the fans interaction and rivalry makes for a great atmosphere, just wish your players understood the meaning of respect and decorum. And to that end .."The Sands Venue Stadium"....that's up there with worst named grounds alongside "The Sports Direct Arena"...you can't tell me as fans the renaming went down well... |

Oh yeah, I agree with you, we've had to consign the rivalry with Hull as a thing from the past. By doing that, Scunny is definitely our biggest rivalry nowadays in reality. Hull are selling players for £20m, and we're feeding from scraps every season. I used to know someone from Donny and he was shocked when I told him of our rivalry with Scunny - he thought it was just them, so it's interesting to hear you're not that bothered about them. As for Lincoln, they seem to really despise us both, for some reason. The word 'bitter' applies to them, even now they're comfortably above both of us. So let's agree, neither Town nor Scunny are bitter - they just HATE one another! |

It may be old and a tadge decrepit but there's one thing it ain't, it's certainly not a souless sess pit like Glumford Park...
As for bitter codheads, lets just say this, it was you jumping on a Grimsby Town forum to have your twopenneth, if we were bitter we'd be on iron bru having a right old pop.
Personally I don't want to see Scunny out the league, the fans interaction and rivalry makes for a great atmosphere, just wish your players understood the meaning of respect and decorum.
And to that end .."The Sands Venue Stadium"....that's up there with worst named grounds alongside "The Sports Direct Arena"...you can't tell me as fans the renaming went down well...
I wouldn't say it is a soulless cess pit, our terrace is old school and was rocking in the glory days of winning League One and being in the Championship. I nip on here every now and then as it interests me to see what is getting said by our rivals. Appreciate you saying you don't want to see us drop out the league, as much as we hate each other the world is a better place when we play each other, cracking atmospheres. Regarding KVV, it is give or take. I recall John-Lewis ssshhing us when he scored at our place for you in the FA Cup. You lot would be loving it if it was one of your players doing what van Veen did. Baffled by your manager Holloway's comments though, clearly absolutely triggered him. Be interesting when we play you at our place. Regarding The Sands Venue Stadium, it will always be known as Glanford Park to us. Was purely done for financial fair play reasons which as we are finding out, we are in a mess. UTI |

I've been watching Grimsby since 1972 and I think in that time we've only played Hull in league games about half a dozen times. We have drawn them a couple of times in The League Cup though (back when they were 2-legged games) and played them a couple of times in the lesser cup games. We were rarely in the same Division, we were always above them until just after the turn of the century. I think the season we were last relegated from the 2nd tier in 2003 was the same season that they were promoted and they've obviously gone onto bigger and better times whilst we've been languishly in the lower divisions and non-league. Would be great to get back that league rivalry again but whether that will happen anytime soon is anyone's guess. Ideally it'll be the season after next in League One. |

Wow, never thought I would be agreeing with a codhead, I'll drink to that later! Regards to Donny, there is a rivalry but they seem more bothered about us than we are them. Grimsby and Hull has always being the one. Rivalry with Lincoln too but not played them in a long time. |

HATE is a very strong word for football rivalry. Dislike yes, but I could never hate anyone that I have never met. |

There's a difference between a'shushing' gesture to fans behind the goal you have just scored in and what Van veen did. He actually scored at the away end, then, before celebrating with the Scunny fans, he ran over to the side stand to taunt our supporters. I always smile when Town fans give some player dogs abuse and then get all upset when said player scores and shushes or cups ear to them. I don't have a problem with any player doing that. But Van veen was totally over the top. If there had been a serious incident it would have been due to his provocation. The guy is no doubt a good player, but IMHO is a pr1ck. I suspect that he actually thrives on abuse (as some do) and personally would love to see him totally ignored at Glumford. But I suspect that ain't going to happen. UTM |

I was there that day, right next to what looked like your 'naughty corner' watching them take about 5 minutes to unveil a big Grimsby Town flag To be fair KVV put his finger up as if to say " Be right back, just off to wind that lot up first" He did end up coming back over to celebrate with us, not seen scenes like that in an away end watching Scunny for years. KVV is very much a player you'd love on your team but hate him when he is against you. He has the talent to perform in the Championship but in the past has being guilty of inconsistency and his attitude. You're absolutely right, he thrives off the abuse and Holloway's comments have just added fuel to the fire. I have no doubt if he scores against you again, he will go over to Holloway and dish it out to him and rightly so. UTI |

I grew up in Market Rasen where you either supported Grimsby or Lincoln and given our 71/72 season and a decade later our home grown player heyday the majority of my era are town fans. I started going in 1965 and was there when Scunny last won with what I recall was a Nigel Cassidy goal, I think a year later may have been the Rathbone & Welbourne sending off match and we needed a Stuart Brace equaliser well into injury time to get a 1-1. Again memory can be iffy but recall that Brace goal was Vernamlikein beating several players before slotting it home.
Anyway in Rasen nobody supported or went to watch Scunny or Hull so I never had a strong dislike for either side especially as tv in those days had football from Anglia Television so these were the teams featured if for some reason they weren’t showing the Norwich or Ipswich game.
Living in a village a mile outside Lincoln the local boozer obviously has a majority of Lincoln fans as there clientele but we have two Scunny season ticket holders who are both far too decent and honest it is very hard to take the pee, but I do my best.
If I were a Scunny fan at present my main concern would be Swann and how stable he is in his role and financial commitment. He wanted to achieve great things at Gainsborough but lost interest very quickly when he couldn’t get a new ground, was I understand then on the verge of joining the board at Lincoln before his last minute defection to Scunny.
Over the years have enjoyed the Scunny games as always that “hostile” atmosphere and in general we have done quite well winning more than we lose. Hopefully we get revenge in March and finish the season on our current high but if the last six weeks have shown us anything it’s how quickly your football fortunes can change.

To be fair to Ollie, he’s a bit embarrassed about what he said and has apologised. He does have a tendency to speak before he thinks, but I quite like that about him. |

Do they have the internet in Scunthorpe, just asking as there seems to be hardly anyone posting on the Bru.
Welcome to the busiest Football forum in Lincolnshire and the only ones crawling has been done by the Scunts, never heard a pip from you lot up the road since you were formed until we went through our worst period in our history and rusty ironing club some how won the lottery and climbed out of the bottom of the pond you occupied for most of your clubs history.
Our day will certainly come again, and here's why, you can't keep a club like ours down. We get knocked down but we get up again, because we are Grimsby Town. The only double likely to happen at Glumford park is if you give us more tickets we'll double your normal gate.
The classic, bitter codhead response. Oh did you get knocked down as well, right in the doldrums of non league and I enjoyed every second of it. Regarding attendances, we sold out our away end at your crumbling ground and could have taken more to boost your gate too. Regardless what happens for the rest of the season, at least we beat you in your own backyard for the first time since 1969. UTI
Bitter I would take our history and clubs potential over your rusty sardine bound Squad you can't afford now Mrs Wilkinson has pulled the purse strings. I don't hate the Scunts, however the hatred towards Town from your neck of the woods doesn't compare to any hatred or dislike shown by Town fans towards the Scunts and the reason for that is the Scunts for the majority of your history has been 4th division old money and in the main a place we used to off load players or send out reserve / fringe players. Scunny in the main has been insignificant to Town fans as Hull for my generation was always the derby game that Town fans looked for and no Scunny or Lincoln game has ever emulated the tension or passion both sets of fans showed in those derby games. Welcome anyway and once you've given your head a wobble it will be interesting to see how the season pans out for both of us, I would wish you luck but to do that I'd have to shove 6 inch nails into my eyes and with what I am seeing at Town so far this season, I don't want to risk losing my sight right now |

Argh Nigel Cassidy. Heard a story about him many many years ago. I was told that he was in a pub or club in Scunny on a Sat night. He was trying to chat-up and impress some young floozies.
He said to them “Do you know who I am?”. Then said that he played for Scunthorpe United.
Besides anything else, it is not exactly the same as saying you play for Liverpool is it?

I agree with Marinerz93 , when I was younger,so much younger than today, Our main away day was on the ferry to Hull for THE DERBY. I remember Ron Rafferty shoulder charging their goalie into the net right in front of us. No appeals for a foul -goal given. Proper football not like these ffannies today with their ponsy hair styles and varnished fingernails |

It depends on age and origin. Scunthorpe for me because I'm a McMenemy babe from Brigg. In theory Lincoln should be THE DERBY both clubs were founder members of division 2 when Scunthorpe wasn't much more than a village. Scunthorpe being our main rivals is a bit like Corby Town being the main rivals to Northampton Town... As the crow flies Hull is closest and for those older than me I can understand why that is THE DERBY. We could meet in a couple of seasons - they'd really have to slump to get relegated this but they've offloaded their best players and they could decline quickly. Fewer than 10k on last night - lowest attendance since the Boothferry days? |

Oh for the days when you could clatter through the back of someone and the ref would just ruffle your hair and say that one is for free. 🤔. There are many players from the 80s and even 90s who would be unable to make a living from the game now. |

Completely agree how today’s game is soft, but to be honest when you see someone like Messi or Ronaldo it would be such a shame if they were kicked out of the game as players like Tony Currie etc were from the 70’s and 80’s.

My point exactly. Yes, there are a lot of attempts to con the referee, but at least quality players have more protection these days. Queue a barrage of 'Bobby Cummings clattering people into the Main Stand' nostalgia. |

My point exactly. Yes, there are a lot of attempts to con the referee, but at least quality players have more protection these days. Queue a barrage of 'Bobby Cummings clattering people into the Main Stand' nostalgia.
It's the conning that p1sses folk off. I think we can all agree that flair should be allowed to flourish without the likes of Norman Hunter or Chopper Harris trying to take your legs off. That said, players like Frank Worthington, Stan Bowles, Tony Currie, Charlie George did excite despite their unwarranted attention. Going back further, George Best was probably the single most exciting British football I've ever seen and he always guaranteed close attention of such defenders. It's also shameful when you see players going down because their perm's been fractured, or clasping their faces when imaginary elbows are a long way away. It's not just conning the referee, it's conning their fellow professionals who they try to get sent off by their actions, and it cons the paying customer / fan who wants to see the best available but can't because of such frauds. Bobby Cumming? Every day of the week for me. Nearest thing I ever came close to man love. |

'Tea breaks over lads, back on your heads......'
a great old joke that, I think a few of the younger generation will miss the comedy gold you just put up. For the younger generation see joke below, there are a few versions here's the one I remembered A man goes to hell and the devil greets him. He takes him to a hallway which has three different doors and tell the man he'll have to choose one room to spend the rest of eternity in. So he takes him to the first door and he opens it and it's the classic version, the evil-doers being engulfed by fire and brimstone. The man thought that would be pretty terrible to spend the rest of eternity and asked the devil to show him the second door. Everyone in the second room are being devoured by wild beasts. The man thought that was even worse way to spend eternity so asks to see what's behind the 3rd door. The devil takes him to the third door and in that room are politicians and they are up to their knees in dog excrement and drinking tea and eating cakes. The man thought that was pretty bad, but at least they could drink tea and eat cakes so he told the devil he chose the third room to spend the rest of eternity in. So the man, up to his knees in dog excrement, drank some tea and ate some cake. Then a few minutes later the devil came back into the room and said "tea break is over. Back on your heads." |

I completely agree about the conning of the ref and dropping and holding faces etc, but var seems to have stopped a lot of that including diving in the box. Var has a long was to go before becoming the finished article, but there is much less of the above. Not gone completely but much better than it used to be imho |

On the back of yesterdays "result" i hear that on Monday they are selling a special limited edition "We didnt lose" mug in the club shop ....
You know it's bad when you lot are starting to gloat! Our game was called off one hour before kick off, absolute shambles. No consideration for anybody at all. I saw an interesting stat. you codheads have not even finished in the top half of the football league for the last 14 years never mind being above the Iron for the past 15 years. On the flip side, I can see why you lot are gloating after that depressing statistic. UTI |

Love the rivalry, the banter, the undoubted bitterness/loathing between our fans and as I've said before, I want that for next season, unfortunately I can see it being the last season for a while...can see us pulling away from you in league status over the coming years!!.. |

Thank you for the compliments though, genuinely appreciate that.It's great to have a bit of fun on here and have a genuine football debate with you lot. No denying i hate Grimsby Town but some of you lot on here has made me realise you actually can have banter without it turning nasty all the time.

Scunny’s population is smaller than GY’s but half our ‘catchment area’ is the sea if you draw a circle round the town. Draw the same sized circle round Scunny and it’s all land. I guess people round that way would rather go shopping in Donny than watch the Iron. |

UTI
The money we have to spend will depend on season ticket sales, so on current feeling, probably yes. But money isn't the only factor in success, look at the teams that have been promoted and relegated in the last few seasons. What we currently have is a feel good factor and confidence, and that is priceless. It doesn't guarantee anything, but if we can keep good form and play this way until the end of the season, then I think next season will have a sort of positivity about the club that we haven't had probably since 97/98. The most positive thing for me is that Holloway seems to have a good relationship with his players, like Hurst did, but also his reputation and personality make him popular with the fans too. Of course, it could just be the honeymoon period, but players wanting to sign for him multiple times and at a lower level than they could play at and probably on lower wages suggests to me that we are heading in the right direction. |

To be fair, GTFC were only prevented from going into non-league in 1955 by re-election through the old boys network and the boxes of fish we used to give to visiting directors. |

The glory days that my Grandad fondly recalls to me. Jackie Brownsword and Barrie Thomas the notable ones. He said he never truly forgave the club for selling Barrie Thomas to Newcastle, we'd have reached the top flight with him. Graham Taylor grew up not too far from where I live, a footballing legend that was proud of his Scunny roots. You see, us Scunny fans aren't all bad you know! |

You have Immingham, Killingholme, Healing, Cleethorpes,, New Waltham, Humberston, Louth. Will be some I have missed off there too. Can't deny you have a bigger population, i have never understood the gloating about attendances towards us. If only attendances made you a successful club eh? I'd rather have 3,000 die hard supporters there than have it full of people that only go when we are doing well. UTI |

In that case though, you have to accept you are always going to need a sugar daddy and hope he is a true fan with deep pockets. Even so, he will only be regarded as a saviour when things are going well, ask John Fenty! |

Interesting response that, very well written. I'm annoyingly jealous of what you lot have got at the moment. I imagine you're feeling confident coming over here and getting revenge for what happened before Christmas. You're right regarding transfer budget, as i mentioned previously on here - Lawsy did it on a shoestring budget and so did Adkins. The days of Sharp and Keogh or Hooper and Hayes up front feel like a long time ago. UTI |

Population of Nth Lincs is 172k, Nth East Lincs is 159k. SUFC has a comparabl population in a 20 mile catchment, but alot of the population support someone else - Grimsby, Lincoln and Doncaster - clubs with a much longer football league history. |

Oh the original poster, I'm not familar with who he is apart from our club record goal-scorer with 110 goals. Unless that is Mr Cammack himself posting? It's each to their own isn't it how they choose to behave, however I like to be able to communicate with you lot intellectually as well as dish out some banter from time to time.

Oh the original poster, I'm not familar with who he is apart from our club record goal-scorer with 110 goals. Unless that is Mr Cammack himself posting? It's each to their own isn't it how they choose to behave, however I like to be able to communicate with you lot intellectually as well as dish out some banter from time to time. I am glad i am welcome on here. UTI
Do us all a favour, if you ever find out who "Stevie Cammack" is, slap him with a wet fish!!.. |

Population of Nth Lincs is 172k, Nth East Lincs is 159k. SUFC has a comparabl population in a 20 mile catchment, but alot of the population support someone else - Grimsby, Lincoln and Doncaster - clubs with a much longer football league history.
In 1950 when the club was elected to the league it was called Scunthorpe And Lindsey United which gives an idea of the intended catchment. In those days the average gate would have been a lot lower than GTFC. Incidentally in the re-election year of 1955 the GTFC gate for the derby game was nearly 20k and for the return at Scunthorpe over 15k. United did the double over Town. |

All of them clubs you have mentioned are bigger places than us. However, all them clubs you named have all disappeared out of the football league in modern times haven't they? We have remained in the football league since 1950. I fear that status will come to an end within the next few years though if we aren't careful. This summer is vital. UTI |

Christ, 15k gates. I could only dream of seeing that. Most i have seen was 9,000 odd when we played United in the League Cup. |

I remember being at the Everton game in 1979 when we beat them 2-1 in The League Cup at BP when there was over 23000 in the ground. Those were the days. The season of our last Championship winning team, 40 years ago this season. |

The first two games I attended at BP over Christmas 1957 both had over 17k for Div 2 fixtures with Liverpool and Charlton on 25th and 28th Dec. We won both games. In between on the 26th Dec Town lost 3-2 at Anfield. Three league games in 4 days! |

How did the players manage in those days with no winter break. |

And what would travel have been like? Still the modern player has it much harder with those light balls, less fixtures, no tackling from behind ( or from anywhere in most matches ) luxury coach travel or fly to games. Remember going to a Forest v Man Utd game in early seventies and when we got on the London to Cleethorpes train at the old St Marks Station in Lincoln all of town’s players were on board following a game at Brentford. |

They would maybe have had a coach to Liverpool, though there might even be a train on Boxing Day in those days on the main Manchester line. Footballers were not the only people who worked over Christmas. My uncle was an engine driver at Wakefield and they would go down to the sheds and light the firebox and do the oiling even if they were not due to run that day. |

Its the population in the wider catchment area and history of the club that is material to overall support, not just the population within administrative boundary of the town or city. On population Burnley (73k) is smaller than Scunthorpe (82k) and Scunthorpe is smaller than Morcambe and Lancaster 110k. Even Scunny can muster quite a few more fans than Morcambe. I'd suggest more people in Morcambe and Lancaster support Burnley, Preston and Blackpool than support Morcambe. I expect there will be a fair few who support Carlisle as well. |

So what you’re saying Limerick is that Scunny are a little club because they have a short history? 😉

Scunny may have a smaller catchment area for supporters, given the bigger places on the outskirts of Grimsby/Cleethorpes but half of Scunny’s catchment area isn’t in the North Sea which is part of our problem!

With bonfire night just around the corner I saw the perfect clothing for a Guy Fawkes figure to wear when it is being torched.
In a charity shop down St Peters Ave they have a Scunny shirt for sale. I was nearly tempted to buy it myself, just to tear it up and use it as rags for washing the car, but they were asking £10 for it. Now even I have a limit on the price of rags.
Hmmmm....let me think....I wonder if they will sell it locally?

In an age when wages were that low that overtime was created to boost income, World wide competition stopped all that and meant that our goods had to be more competitive and our industry leaner. Whats that got to do with football, I'm fxxk if you know |
