HoylandOwl Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skamp Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrySpeakup Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Our 5th game that run is the famous snowball game 🤣 I'm happy to report that I was there.

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 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 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
