Yeah. I remember Bristol Rovers and Leyton Orient coming to Scunthorpe. I was there at the Old Show Ground. Remember Liverpool coming too. Bit of trivia - World Cup winner Roger Hunt made his league debut at home against Scunny. He scored of course.

It's been renamed the Sands Venue Stadium, so you'll have a clean slate. :)

Scunny V Port Vale Will be good to find out how far behind we are of one of the L2 promotion favourites, before the season has kicked off.

Someone has told me that we were one of the two votes against, but no announcement from the club. Our Chairman had repeatedly said beforehand that he was against a salary cap.

Gilks will have probably been looking for a coaching job too. I doubt he would have come to you either, if you couldn't have offered him a coaching position.

He may have been good with Bradford, but he wasn't with us. Very patchy. He is indecisive, flat-footed and slow, but can definitely head a ball. Likely to score one or two goals, but likewise, likely to cost you some. I think he will be effective against the poorer sides, but facing the...

Absolutely. He was good with us before he got his injury. I would have liked to have seen him back at the Iron as 1st choice keeper. Would be difficult as a coach, as we have two goalkeeping coaches already - Musslewhite and Pressman.

Hello there everyone. I like Scunny's third kit best of all, as the white shirts remind me of our best years. The black away kit is something I do not not like, but I think we were promoted the last time we had a black kit. Correct me, if I'm wrong Don. The speckled colours remind of the...

I'll be surprised if Eisa and Van Veen play v Grimsby. Reportedly they have muscle injuries, a hamstring and groin respectively. They usually take longer than 1 week. Hoping to see Hammill play. Read somewhere that he might be in. I was disappointed in the way Hurst treated him. With proper man...

Yeah, Scunny runs about 15% average (away/home support), which we consider decent for a small town club. Bigger Lincs places of Lincoln and Grimsby have strong away followings too. Places with a lot of shift workers suffer more, I have always thought. No numbers to back it up though. Do agree...

I doubt there will have been too many. Most who went first time, but were told the game was off for safety after Swindon's security had started letting supporters in, will not have gone down again. Cost and getting time off work will have worked against them.

I thought we did okay for the first half hour, hoping for a 0-0. Once Doyle scored, it was just how many. We had a lot of kids playing last night, with two teenagers making their debuts. We lacked composure, couldn't clear our lines and had nothing up top. Missed Van Veen and Eisa. The boy...

Sorry, I forgot - FGR H

I tried for the Swindon game, but site down. Out of it now though because of 3rd strike and out. Enjoyed it Oak, thanks, but will not be doing it again with such an unreliable site.

We have just started a run of 5 tough games: Port Vale A, Swindon A, Grimsby H, Colchester A, Exeter A. A repeat of the surprising point at Port Vale yesterday, would be even more surprising at Swindon on Tuesday. Not sure who will be playing, as we have surely lost a couple after Vale game. We...
