I wanted Scunny to be woeful long before social media existed.


Same here. In fact as long ago as Easter 1967.

Jimmy’ll fix it



Will he fu(k


Given their manager’s alleged penchant for dubious, extralegal income streams, I’d suggest Jimmy fixing it might be at the very heart of their current problems…

Rumours about Brian Laws going there to help out now Swann has no interest in the club.


Laws and butler (not the Jeeves and Wooster type) to come in and sort the excrement show out.

I'm led to believe from a Scunthorpe supporter friend, that 2 players are on £2500 a week, and one on £2000 a week.

We suddenly have 3 pages on a new/unsubstantiated  Scunthorpe thread when we already have have 433 pages on the Iron.
I don't fully understand how our forum is governed but maybe this should be merged before it gets out of hand & views/debate  on the Mariners become secondary to those of Scunthorpe United?

I’d believe that, judging by the rumours about their total wage bill. I really hope they stay down, then they’ll HAVE to trim that wage bill. But, if we stay up and they go up, that combination wouldn’t bother me at all. They’re gonna up one one year, they’ll not stay down there forever (although, if Carlsberg did non-league stint scenarios….).

There must be something slightly soul destroying about dreaming of promotion, only to realise that the prize is a place in the National League.

Quoted from diehardmariner
Oh c'mon, they're our nearest geographical rivals so of course there is going to be a heightened level of interest in them, same as Lincoln and to a lesser extent Hull.

This isn't bringing out the worst in people, it's about friendly rivalries within the game.  I work with and am friends with Scunthorpe fans, having that momentary crowing over them is glorious.  Just like they loved it when they were lording it over us.  

I'm delighted they didn't go under, I hope their new owners go onto build a sustainable football club at the heart of the community.  But it doesn't mean I can't have a wry smile every time they lose and deep down want them to miss out on promotion, suffer relegation the next season and eventually find themselves in a league where evening games have to be floodlit by the headlights of players cars.  I'm absolutely certain that the vast majority of their fans feel exactly the same way about us.

It would be bloody boring if our only interest in football was the Town result every Saturday.  


Our nearest geographical neighbours . Clee Town may take offence at that.
