Quoted from Poojah


That’s an interesting question but almost impossible to answer as there are so many ‘butterfly effect’ moments which shaped that season; it’s very difficult to look at it through such a basic set of parameters.

If we re-trace our steps, going into our game away at Colchester on 5th December we were in a disappointing but not yet catastrophic position of 18th. At that time, I’d suggest Fenty was vaguely unpopular, but the discontent had not yet heightened. I’m also fairly confident that the bulk of fans were still behind Holloway at this point, as mad as that sounds with hindsight.

But that was the day we crossed the rubicon. The day that the Alex May story broke, and that really did change everything. The day that a grumbling underbelly of discontent for Fenty’s turned into an angry mob.

If there was no Alex May then, I suspect, there’d have been no Holloway. There would also, most likely, have been no 1878 - that was the break they needed to prise their way in. And then of course, there would have been no Hurst, no 11 new January signings. And of course, had there have been no pandemic, there’s no way our disastrous pre-season would have happened either.

Who knows what things might have looked like, both then and now. Probably, at some point, there would almost certainly have been a car crash, figuratively speaking. But then I do wonder, somewhere at the back of my mind, if you reversed all the way back to Jolley’s potty-mouthed rant at the end of 2019, that ultimately did for him, how things would be today.

Somewhere in a parallel universe I can’t help but imagine us still dicking around in the lower echelons of League Two, playing mostly dull but occasionally half-decent football, with Fenty very much in situ - vaguely but not passionately unpopular with the fans.

So here’s another question; would you swap what we’ve got today for that parallel universe?


Who is the Gwinneth Paltrow character? The fans?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The numbers going through their gates are interesting.


Did nobody tell them the boycott was only for the EFL Trophy games?

I think she left a while ago and is now on the stage about to open her mouth.

When we were relegated first time around an ex director of theirs took massive pleasure in telling me that Grimsby town were nothing more than a glorified Brigg Town . Karma is always listening

At the end of last season a scunthorpe fan I know messeged me and very confidently told me they would never ever get relegated to the national league, when I told him that quite a few people predict Scunthorpe to finally end up relegated and are seen by most bookies to struggle this season, he told me they don't know what they are talking about and Neil Cox is a terrific manager and will make the most out of a limited budget.

Last week when I asked him how his prediction is going, he saw my message and blocked me, I wonder why!

Didn't some of their fans do the same and come to BP first time we got relegated to the National League?



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