Scunthorpe.

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

The club hasn’t spent £3 million on the stadium, someone else has.

We have, the tax payer, not sure on the amount.

The future of Scunthorpe United's Glanford Park ground has been secured after a not-for-profit company bought the site, the club has said. The New Show Ground Community Interest Company has bought the ground using a government Town Deal Fund grant.

Well I'm pleased that they haven't gone bust/ administration, but I'd still like to see them in the NLN for another few seasons.

Quoted from Mappers

Looks like it might be a happy ending for our neighbours.

Not sure how they have pulled that off.

The New Show Ground CIC was incorporated 17 Oct 2023. People are Tahina Akther (Barrister, has been a Director in SUFC),  Barbara Michelle HARNESS (Director of North Lincs Structures Ltd),  Mohammed Roziur RAHMAN.

Looks like the council have diverted money towards the purchase, plus fans various.

Good luck to them, and I hope we play them in League 1 or higher.

It’s chilly outside for sure, but I’m not sure we’re in danger of hell freezing over just yet. Positive news for Scunny no doubt, but it’s still a long, long way back for them.

If there’s a saving grace, it’s that if they were to manage to win promotion this season, the National League next year is going to look a lot less scary than when we dropped down in 2021. We all know that Chesterfield love a good mid-season capitulation but I just don’t see anyone in that league who is going to haul them in with an 11-point lead and a game in hand. Assuming they come up, that’s the last of the “monied” clubs down there for now.

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

I heard only last week that n e lincs council are in the Sh1t and financially struggling.

That would fit in with the lack of gritting done last night ahead of the coldest night in 9 months.  Needless to say as soon as you got over the NEL borders this morning it was chaos, oddly enough not too bad elsewhere...

What I can't understand is that assuming the new owners of SUFC (GP ownership is another issue, although some people are in both) then the much-discussed OTT wage structure must have been sorted by the more astute board, or there was no suspected odd payments. I can't see this topic going away for some time.

You are a hard man DB  

Just after some cheering up . Lol . Anyone know how things are over their ? I’ve not heard a peep

Saw something yesterday about some of their fans wanting to sing You'll Never Walk Alone at next home game in tribute to some Liverpool fans who contributed to the Crowdfunder.  

Very weird behaviour and most of the sane Scunny fans were saying it was a daft idea.  From my occasional glances i does still seem to be a bit of a split in their fanbase though.  Lot of finger pointing and blaming going on.  Get the feeling it's got the potential to get toxic again if they're not careful.  

Tamworth are flying at the top of the league and sending out a serious marker to catch.   Not sure Scunny will do that and I wouldn't fancy the lottery of the play-offs at any point.  Scunny due to host Tamworth on Tuesday night.

That bloke who begged everyone to get behind Hilton for months -Stuart Mower i think he's called did one of his videos begging Liverpool fans for donations to his GoFundMe page which he's going to pass over to the club .
