Bye bye Scunthorpe United?

[HoylandOwl]

Looks like it could be.

Their owners from what I heard have made a proper shit show of things for quite some time.

I hope they don’t go, I’ve been there quite a few times. Both watching and in a professional capacity, there’s some good folks there too.

Be sad given they were the first team of King Kev

Fingers crossed for them. Hate seeing long term league clubs going right down the nick like this.

They were amongst a raft of clubs who joined the league in 1950, hardly founding members. After the way they acted the **** at Hillsborough on occasions,  fuck em.

[KrolMong]

It’s over for them.

Nice try.

1953 sunshine.  🙂👍

I scored the first ever goal in a recognised game at Glanford Park. 

Tidy little ground when it was built but a bit soulless. 

I believe there's already a fans group trying to get a phoenix team into the lower leagues for the start of next season. 

 

[HoylandOwl]

The fans and the staff don’t deserve what’s happening there. That much I do know.

What year, Ty?  

[Reesh]

1988

[Owling_Wolf]

So obviously it was their old ground that had the 1st ever  cantilever stand in the League, our North being the 2nd.  

[HoylandOwl]

I can't remember their old ground!

The old Showground wasn't it.

[Skamp]

Ours being the first that went full length of the pitch. Theirs was only a small stand. The first of its kind admittedly  but not full length.

That's right. Never went there though.  

[HarrySpeakup]

Went to the League Cup game there in August 1974 when we lost 1-0

 

[wollowl]

I went in 1978, FA cup 1st round, the season we played Arsenal 5 times in the 3rd round

[Skamp]

How did we get on?

[Skamp]

I work in Scunthorpe, well I did before WFH became the norm and they've no more a set of knobs than other inbred towns but there's more clubs in front of them that I wouldn't give a fuck about if they went bust.  One just over the border to Tinsley being one of them.

[HarrySpeakup]

oh yes and the 1978 FA Cup game

one of the most amazing facts ever is that we played 9 games in the F A Cup proper that season and didn't make it to the 4th Round

 

[Skamp]

Our 5th game that run is the famous snowball game 🤣

 

I'm happy to report that I was there.  Can't vouch for Joe Ashton though as he rarely mentioned it

I wouldn't want to see any club go the wall, I include every club, i.e. even those I hate. From the perspective how would I feel if Wednesday went. The vast majority of supporters are decent even if some have a significant number of nobs.

As for Scunny, no real feeling for them, pretty low in my 'do I care' about them hierarchy. I should imagine Brian Laws would be disappointed to see them go after what he did for them.

[Skamp]

Can't you remember the mini pigs calling Football Heaven saying they hoped we go bust before Manderic took over?  Only stopped when a Wednesday fan called in and asked for the money he'd chucked in their 2 lots of buckets back.

Reesh is right. 

1988. They had to play three test matches to get a sign off certificate. I played for Thomas Rotherham College against their YTS lads

Looks like they could be saved….

The absolute mess at Scunny continues.

 

[Skamp]

Takes some reading and attempt at understanding what's being said without knowing much of the background to this.

Dirty washing being displayed is always unseemly 

[Owling_Wolf]

I've just read right through that.  Whatever shit fest with CP and the reaction we've suffered ourselves this week is a bed of roses compared to even 1% of what their fans have gone through already, never mind what it sounds like they're facing now.  Truly horrendous.  

[bricat]

Ray Clemence and Ian Botham

 

[Owling_Wolf]

Kevin Keegan.

[Andyben]

If only they'd charged more for tickets and fan memberships, they'd have been OK.

Is this really their chairman?
