Ironfan123 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Seeing on social media that there are a few of you buying tickets to come and show your support for my local side, Scunthorpe United-who are getting ran into the ground by an incompetent owner- on Saturday. We are drinking in the last chance saloon with a winding up order and no money left in the pot to pay any wages. Thank you chaps, it’s much appreciated by our supporters. Up the Rams.

Up the Iron I have to admit I'd no idea you guys were at this point. I, as I'm sure, the majority of us on here have empathy with the situation you find yourselves in. It's a horrible place to be. The very best of luck. Please keep us updated with how things are progressing. ? Ironfan123, Rammy03, Ellafella and 6 others 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up the Iron You need a army of your fans get press involved and mps. That's how we got rid of mel and final defeated efl. We took 10k march to the ground and make known that we ate fighting for our club.

Ambitious Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It only seems like yesterday when we played you in the league cup, Lee Buchanan made his professional debut and scored a late winner. It would seem both of us have been through the ringer since that day - we seem to be coming out of it, hopefully you guys can too!

It’s difficult mate, we obviously have a much smaller fan base and therefore it’s difficult to get something “official” organised. The supporters trust are reluctant to organise anything because of the potential trouble that could occur. We had a few hundred March from the town centre to the ground last year and obviously the last game was halted when a couple of hundred invaded the pitch, but Swann (owner) holds all the aces and has pulled a similar stunt to your owner by taking the ground/land and transferring it into his parent company. He wiped off £11million we owed his company after years of reckless spending in league one. Like I say, we are completely up sh1t creek, but to see some of the support we are getting from supporters like yourselves won’t be forgotten.

It's a horrible position to be in for any supporter. What we went through literally nearly broke some on here, whilst many so called supporters of "certain" other clubs mocked, gloated and sang for our demise. We can therefore very much empathise with how you feel. Really, really hope you come through it.

WestLondonRam Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Good luck to Scunny. I’ll buy a ticket now to help, I’m sure it will line the chairman’s pocket instead but it might help towards wages. I wish you all the best and my sympathy is with your plight. 48 hours and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll talk about Scunthorpe at work to colleagues (Manchester) and dearly hope you can rise again. The imbalance in the game is criminal, football pyramid is the envy of the world. Can’t be allowed to die. Neither can Scunthorpe United. Keep the faith my friend.

It's been some decade for you. Hopefully there's light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully fans from other clubs as well as us are going to show you support.
