Whitehouse and Boyce (return) must wonder what the feck they have walked into.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Worth remembering that Cool Silk (Swann’s investment company) wrote off 11 million quid of Scunny debt last year, still leaving the club in 11 million debt. It’s Fenty on an industrial scale.

2,193 at Glanford Park today. Only a matter of time before that drops below the 2k mark.

What was our lowest gate for a league game in the NL?

I think they have sunk lower than we ever did at our very worst. 6 defeats on the trott is incredible for a club that were in the championship not that long ago.

It must feel even worse than we felt back in 2010. Blimey.

Maybe Poojah could write a rant for them? They must be about due for one!

No idea but going on our average attendances well above 2,193.

It's getting to the point where I'm starting to feel sorry for them. No one deserves to see their club being torn apart like that.

Having said that, why aren't Scunny fans hounding Swann out? Have they just given up as a fanbase?

I think it’s a blend of apathy, inability to comprehend their predicament, and a realisation that it’s way too late to do anything.

They have an irresolvable problem; no ground ownership, an £11m debt to their owner and a team destined for relegation regional league football.

I do have sympathy for supporters of poorly run football clubs; they are limited in terms of what they can do. But how can a man be allowed to run up an 8-figure debt at a club barely worth 6 figures without questions being asked?
