Can I borrow that?!? Well, screenshot it


It’s available as a head-scratchingly expensive Non Fungible Token or, alternatively, you can just copy and paste it if you like. Go for it!

I’d add to that, that I’d like the entire population of Scunthorpe to simultaneously stand on an upturned plug (different ones, obviously, for logistical reasons), drowning the town in a collective, gutteral howl, as if a giant wolf were giving birth nearby, sparking a forever unsolved scientific phenomena known for generations only as the ‘great Scunthorpe plug mystery’.

I’m a nice enough bloke, and I’d like to think we’re only talking ‘mild threat’ here in cinematic terms. Nothing too drastic.

To be honest, I cannot wait to read that book. The second edition, with a postscript by Peter Swann. On how he sold a ground, twice, took Gainsborough Trinity to oblivion, and within ten years later, did the same to the Scunts!

I dread to think how much that book would cost without wanting to devalue the product.
Also interesting that the pitch in the background isn't pitted with fox holes and that ball looks round.......🤔...publisher stock photo I guess.

I can see the banner on the A180 being prepared as we speak , a good few weeks to think of a decent comeback . Know a few Town fans who would try and go one better , not sure where else it could be hung from though

They are actually getting more red cards than goals at the moment, and that’s in home games. Impressive.

Quoted from chelseacity
I don't think we should look to laugh at any football club that has hit hard times, we are all football fans, we all support England, we at Grimsby Town have had 20 years of disaster, so excuse me if i don't find Scunthorpe's plight amusing, remember the old adage, he who laughs first laughs last.


Not only that. We need local competition.  Our little armpit of England, is devoid of quality football.  It would be better if we were all doing well - with Town on top of course. It's those rivalries that create the the best moments.  I've never been in a crowd like the one when I was a Sheffield derby. The city was buzzing all day.   Of course, we will never get to those heights but..

I can’t stand scunny but I don’t want them to fall apart completely.

I’d prefer to play them than Lincoln, but they are in a state that is similar to us in our first relegation, May be worse to some extent.

I’m supporting a school in scunny at the minute and not a single person is a scunny fan, staff or kids. That’s rare, even for small clubs like us and them.

I see the Scunny public are getting behind their team to support them in their hour of need. A massive 2009 at their game last night.
