Quoted from buckstown
I really can't understand why the local media aren't all over this story, it's perfect to fill a slot on a low news day.
Not a glimmer on the Scunthorpe section of the telegraph (which I realise is useless) or Humberside sport. There is the possibility that this bloke is genuine but surely there's enough question marks to be waving large flags.
What the hell else is going on in Scunny??


What you have to realise now is the fact that SUFC are a football club in the 6th tier and have a non league status and apart from local support do not attract media attention like they would if they were a football league team, who else apart from Scunny fans and us are really interested in what is happening down there. For us Town fans it’s a continual source of amusement and something to fill in the end of season discussions but apart from that SUFC could disappear and not a lot of football fans from outside the area would really be too bothered. We are are so lucky to have the owners we have and long may it continue. UTM


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

This is very true. I was speaking to a genuine Man City fan recently who knows me well and always asks about town. I told him what was happening at Scunny and he was completely shocked - didn’t even know they’d gone down.

You think, when they’re in NLN (IF they’re accepted) their scores aren’t even on any of the national tv and radio channels. Stelling’s replacement may never mention Scunthorpe again…..

That right, the exposure clubs below NL get is minimal, even ex EFL clubs. Hereford and Darlington for example hardly get a mention.

But throughout out all of the drama at Scunthorpe I just keep thinking how something similar might easily have happened to us if things had transpired differently two years ago.  The reversal of our downward trajectory is incredible when you think about it. The ownership, management and players have delivered something far beyond any  realistic expectations we might have had when we dropped out of the league so ignominiously just 24 months ago.  We have come so far in such a short space of time.

One, very clearer a burner account regularly goes after my mate on Twitter, for some weird reason he thinks my mate is a landlord of a boozer in Scunny…naturally, my mate has played up to this and tweets the odd cryptic special offer in his non-existent pub…

It’s flipping tragic really, at first it was funny but now I just think they need putting down…

Those burners continue to abuse all and sundry - one even saying he had discussed the situation with Mr David and he's not happy and may well step away .

Max Bell (local councillor) has called out the Iron Bru podcast ,saying they are in cahoots with Swann and leaking out information .

You can't make this lot up , it's taking up too much of my time watching this show .

So I hope one way or another it's resolved or the club goes soon , so I can get off SM again .

The show goes on .
