Scunthorpe.

Quoted from RonMariner

I think back to those times when Scunts fans came here gloating about our relegation to the NL in 2010. I would love to hear from them now.


I think the lesson is that fortunes change in football, so when you are kicking people who are down on their luck just remember that the boot may well end up on the other foot. Something the current Lincoln trolls might want to bear in mind.

That's why I don't bother trolling anyone. I can't really see the point. I'm enjoying Scunny being below us but I have friends who support them and I wouldn't go out of my way to upset them.

I have plenty of Donny friends and they didn't give me a hard time after our demolition. One acquaintance put a troll comment on an unrelated FB post and received instant FB execution. No right of appeal after sentencing.

I'm led to believe, a meeting has been convened for next week, to consider going part-time next season.

Logically, you would think such a meeting would have already taken place, with the appropriate ways forward agreed for either eventuality.

I might be in the minority on this one, but personally I hope they avoid the fate of having to go part-time. In effect, that would be the end of Scunthorpe United as we know them, and we’d have to drop any idea of rivalry with them. They’d be of no greater contemporary relevance to us than, say, Gainsborough Trinity.

Actually come to think of it, that is quite funny. Please form an orderly queue at the job centre, gents.

Interesting. I would have thought that their gates would support a full time team, but only if they offload some of the higher earners who, let’s face it, haven’t really delivered this season.

All this gloating of Scunthorpe's demise, please consider, it is possible that we could be playing them in 2 seasons time.

I think some of the gloating is a response to the trolling we got from some Scunts when they were riding high. It’s a dangerous path to tread though because football fortunes can change dramatically over a few seasons.

We are lucky to have some excellent posters from other clubs contributing to our forum. They bring a different perspective and add value. I am thinking of posters such as AndyDarlo, Chalky and others, including some Scunny fans such as LeeHodgesBurger.

Sadly we also get the morons who come simply to troll and gloat. They must be pretty sad individuals if they have nothing better to do with their time, but they are not worth replaying to. It’s just a waste of time.

I can't see them getting into L2 in 2 seasons time.

Their average gate this season is about 4000. More than enough for a full time football outfit. The problem is that they spent money as if they would be exceeding gates of 5000. Players like Cal Roberts will be on ridiculous wages for that level and have done sod all. They'll do well to offload him and others. That eats into any reduced budget they have, with that comes lower standards of players, poor results, less gates, less money to spend on wages.... Horrible cycle.

Hilton also completely ripped up their youth set up too so it's not like they can hope on having a home grown generation lead them to glory.
Utterly copulated.

Shít. Really, really shít.
