I’ll be mostly supporting (fill in the blank)!
For me, it’ll be Oldham- no doubt a popular choice!

O yes.....definitely Oldham . A close friend of mine is a Scunt supporter. He is in total denial of everything and says its just a blip and everything is rosy. He has an excuse for every result, thinks Cox and Swan are brilliant, harps on about a new ground and ....well.....he refuses to see what everybody else sees.

Today I will be avidly following San Marino v Gibraltar in the Nations league. Possibility of a rare win for one of them. If they dropped this game into the english pyramid which league, based on ability, would it be in? League two is my guess

I think it's more to do with San Marino not wanting their GK to give goals away and score an own goal that a Sunday League GK would have been disappointed with.

A large portion of both teams are part-time so I doubt if they could compete at our level. Between them you might get a team that could compete at this level. Gibraltar have had a few higher profile players play for them.

The San Marino authorities, much to the annoyance of their manager, refuse to accept players from the diaspora and will only select players born in San Marino.apparently there are a fair few half decent players who would qualify for them if the rules were relaxed

I went to England v San Marino at the old Wembley back in 1993. David Platt scored 4 and missed a penalty. Carlton Palmer & Les Ferdinand got the other 2 in a 6-0 win. I remember from back then that the San Marino goalkeeper was also their coach driver. So maybe if James McKeown did his category D they might be interested in him.

I suppose that reduces the risk of the goalie being thrown under a bus.

Watching the Scunts They look a lot better with Van veen
|
| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

Oldham not very good but ye can't take it away from Scunthorpe they were better all over the pitch. Von veen was the best player on the pitch, wish we had some one who can influence a game like him.

If he was more consistent, I’d agree. From what I’ve heard, he can be the best player on the pitch but it’s once in a while not most games.

I walked the dog up to t'fitties and back, before spending the afternoon in my workshop with an audiobook in the background.
Didn't miss football at all and the longer this situation goes on, the less interested I become.
Don't know if I'll get my Town mojo back when crowds are allowed in again.

A close friend of mine is a Scunt supporter. He is in total denial of everything and says its just a blip and everything is rosy. He has an excuse for every result, thinks Cox and Swan are brilliant, harps on about a new ground and ....well.....he refuses to see what everybody else sees.
Most men in Scunthorpe like Cox. It’s a known fact.

For clubs like Town I’d imagine this surely has to be their biggest concern, particularly in fans over a certain, the young kids will probably come back in similar numbers but older fans with families, extra hobbies etc will have found different priorities that will supersede football I think. If you’re part of the large percentage of fans that support a club that’s miles from your home and only watch it on the TV then I guess nothing has actually changed, hence why the premier league seems little different. At our level, going to matches is a habit as much as a hobby. Much like villages that have pubs that open and shut rapidly, folk get out of the habit of going therefor they struggle to stay open, the same, I think, will happen to clubs at our level. Not just us, but there’s seemingly been little effort in enticing fans to still engage and watch ifollow etc. Which is concerning when at this present moment it’s likely then not way anyone that supports a club outside of the top flight can watch their team...

It's a good point about apathy setting in. Sure I recall in the 70's the football league couldn't agree a deal with the TV companies so we had a season with no football on telly. Football authorities thought everyone would flood to live games but the opposite occurred. People lost interest because it wasn't on their TV's and crowds went down significantly. I can see the same thing happening this season

For clubs like Town I’d imagine this surely has to be their biggest concern, particularly in fans over a certain, the young kids will probably come back in similar numbers but older fans with families, extra hobbies etc will have found different priorities that will supersede football I think.

This is a very salient point I feel. Ifollow is a dreadful service and many have given up on it, but the club (and others) seem oblivious to the fact that fans are being charged £10 for something that is vastly inferior to other offerings from the Premier League. It's a wasted opportunity to keep fans engaged and involved, whilst also bringing in much needed income. It should be being trumpeted and promoted, with package deals and a more stable output, but nobody seems ar$ed to get it sorted. Lower league fans just get taken for granted and that attitude is disengaging to me and others.

Agreed, it’s not just an issue with us either; it seems few clubs are really busting a gut to shift this. Fans are seemingly exploited much more by lower league clubs although it’s not just specific to us. I agree, ifollow is on the whole, an atrocious service. I’m fully aware many will Leap to it’s defence and so forth but it is poor, people have been getting codes on tiny slips of paper, paying when they shouldn’t have to, service drop outs and the likes. People become disengaged and find alternatives. People are concerned about this season and survival but it’s the long term impact on the game, crowds and the like. Who knows what will happen. There will be many of us who naturally go back and carry on our normal football routines but I suspect many won’t which will come from the suggested lack of engagement and so forth.

Most men in Scunthorpe like Cox. It’s a known fact.

I think the majority know that this season is so surreal that they have mentally switched off, I Follow or no I Follow. When things return back to normal however - no social distancing, no masks and no kneeling at kick-off then it will be fantastic, and I actually think more people will attend having realised what they have missed. I assume that will be next season now. All this is predicated on us still being in the league, and getting together the type of squad which we would have done this season in more normal times.
