Aren’t they bottom of the Conference? It’s crazy what’s happened to them - i remember they always seemed to do well against us.

Can’t believe their downfall! Always seemed a well run little club

They always seemed to turn us over back in the day as well

They were spending well above their means in league one. 150% of their turnover in players in 2018

Having lived nearby for 12 years it was only a matter of time. Their fortunes reflect those of the town they're in.

I went a fair few times, 6 actually

Only two wins - One in the snow and Marlon King scored and the other being Pressley’s first game

rest were all defeats

Tip of the ice berg lot of well known clubs on the brink, some a lot higher up the pyramid than Scunthorpe.

Their demise has ruined my favourite bit of football trivia too.

There are (were) only three clubs in the league with a profanity in their name...

Saw them beat us in league one in what I think was Michael Doyle’s final game for us.
Collecting tickets from their club shop before the game overhead two older female Scunthorpe fans discussing our club. For context Robins had managed them after Huddersfield in a team with Jordan Clark and Gary McSheffrey.

“See they’re managed by Mark Robins? I’d forgotten about him”,
“Oh god yes. What a boring bastard he was!”

Strangely enough was talking to my friend about this and our record against them, did a bit of research and it’s actually shambolic.

If only they’d invested a few more million, and I’m not talking mega bucks here, they might have got promoted to the big leagues and would be laughing all the way to the bank. That’s how it works, right?

Robins managed them when they beat us at their place in the Mowbray season where we'd started well

McSheffrey played for them too, and didn't one of our youth keepers go there on loan recently?

I'll always remember that pompous twat Nigel Adkins in charge of them. We played them and lost (unsurprisingly) and he came out afterwards banging on about how the bigger clubs treat them like 'little Scunthorpe'. It was a strange rant.

Interesting fact here:

I know someone who went to secondary school with McSheffrey, and his two brothers, and apparently he used to hurl snowballs at people with stones in the middle.
Funny that, I always remember that, and it was a good 28 years ago.

One of the worst places to go in recent years as a city fan , I think we won once in about 6 or 7 attempts

I wish them well

Just discovered they are second bottom of the national league. Six points of safety with five games to go. Gateshead who are out of the bottom four have a better GD and have three games in hand - they will be in National League North with (hopefully) Leamington next season. They have announced they will train 70 miles away to attract players and are scrapping their academy set up.

Also, noticed other relegation places are held by ex Championship Yeovil Town and ex League club Torquay United!

That league is a weird mix of teams being bankrolled beyond their means, a few semi pro clubs, and former League sides on hard times. Wrexham's Hollywood owners having to pump in millions to cover their losses. Hopefully Notts beat them to the punch
