Scunthorpe United 0- 2 Woking FC

So high flying Woking travelling up to Scunthorpe for a rearranged evening fixture. We lost 2-0 down at Woking and it turns out we’d lose 2-0
at home too. Lots of off field problems in the build up to the game. Which ultimately and for me correctly, resulted in a protest with fans entering the field of play.
The match though, we started off slowly and a mistake at the back meant Woking took an early 1 goal lead. A strong physical team that won most in the air, they could play as well. I thought Browne was really good for them scorer of the first. It took another 82 mins of play for 2nd to go in a lovely finish into the far corner from Amond. We never really created that much, we seemed disjointed. No excuses, though talk of a HMRC winding up order could play on the back of players minds . However focused they think they are. End of the day, we were beaten by the better team all over the pitch. Now to get things sorted off the pitch whether that through peaceful protest or more direct action. Things need to change and quickly.

Real fans who have passion and love for their football club. Swann out! I hope you get a new owner who can get you smiling and enjoying your football again. Walsall fan

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

We’re all hoping for a new owner. Sometimes a visible form of protest needs to take place. Cheers Jon

Hi Woking fan here... thank you for taking the time and effort on this video, unfortunately I couldn't make it yesterday ( I go to most away games ) so your running assessment was terrific and much appreciated.. and also great to see some of the other fans.. really feel for you and the club, really hope you can stay up and then build from there next season.. you guys are a proper club unlike some of the clubs in this league!!! most of us are in somewhat of a state of disbelief about our season so far...we are sort of waiting for a fall off in form which is our traditional way... but not happened so far.. fingers crossed we can stay in the play offs.. I'll definitely keep my eye on scunny's result in the future

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers Andy. We have so many issues off the field, which affect on field. Transfer embargo, wages late paid, then just recently a winding up order from HMRC. Oh and an owner that has no interest in the club, the fans and community. We need a takeover soon. Yes you’re doing well in the league. I can’t see you going up, though in the playoffs it all depends on the day, so who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ Good luck for rest of the season 👏🏼

[@peterhill4100]

Keep the faith Gareth. As a Chesterfield fan I know your pain. You will be back! Always enjoyed my trips to Scunthorpe and received a great welcome from your fans. Still half the season left so there is still hope.

[@wfcmarl6066]

Woking fan, really like you as you seem to comment on the oppositions play in a positive way as well. Hope you see better days soon

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers wfcmarl. Always try and tell it as I see it. If the opposition are good I’ll let people know. This season that’s what I’ve mainly been doing 🤦🏻🤣😂 Liked your 2 CBs. Thought Browne was good too 👍🏼 Good luck for rest of season.

[@paulmorris9959]

Keep the faith you have a good fan base and I always enjoy your commentary,

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers Paul. We’ll get through it one way or another.

[@sky-o9p]

Thanks for the shout out Gareth,it was always gonna be a tough one today,I really feel for you and all your amazing fans and I so hope everything gets sorted and quickly cos you all deserve much better.good luck for the rest of 're season mate, will be here watching looking out for scunnys results

[@cardinalultras5484]

Agreed

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

How could I not give you a shout out Terry 👏🏼👏🏼 Yes we were just bullied all over the pitch in fairness. That and we never really got going. Your 2 CBs, do they work the doors of an evening too? lol. Good Luck for rest of season, hopefully we’ll have more positive news soon 🤞🏼

[@sky-o9p]

@@ScunthorpeUnited thanks Gareth,I almost feel like I'm in this with you cos I so want things to get better for you all,and yeah we are a strong physical team,hard to beat

[@Pollypanther.]

I symphasise with all at SUFC. Your a good bunch. I'm going to visit you in April for the Torquay game as I won 2 tickets at an auction for the Notts, Lincs Air Ambulance, kindly donated by the club. Other bigger clubs donated jack s***t. So I salute SUFC for donating to the charity in hard times. Always watch your blogs. Good luck to all at the Iron. You only care for your club. You had every right to conduct your peaceful protest.

[@cardinalultras5484]

🔴⚪️ great vid again hope you stay up 🙏

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers Cardinalultras. We’ll keep trying, though so much happening off the pitch effecting what’s happening on it 🤦🏻 Anyway good luck for the rest of your season 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Honourable66]

Chesterfield fan here, very sorry to see what's happening to Scunny, don't think there's a club in this league that hasn't gone through the same or at some point will go through the same, teetering on a knife edge with unscrupulous owners seems to be par for the course in the lower leagues.

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Yes it’s a truly saddening time. Though while we’ve still got a club to support and fight for that’s what matters. We just have to hope the off field issues resolve them self sooner rather than later. Good luck with the season 👍🏼

[@kevinwright6002]

Sincerely hope that you guys survive and go from strength to strength and I'm a Woking lad!!

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers Kevin. Good luck for rest of the season 👏🏼

[@Anthony1984Rachel]

Great videos as always Gareth. So sorry to see what's happening at your club. Been watching you since you came to Hayes Lane & we will be up at your place in 2 weeks time. Looking forward to it & hope your club pulls through. Bromley fan

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers Anthony. Worrying thing is, it’s not just us with poor owners. Happening with too many clubs now. If nothing has changed off the pitch regarding a takeover, I can see more protests happening in that game too. Will be 3rd time I’ve seen Bromley play, saw you at Wembley too when you beat Wrexham to lift the trophy. Anyway I’ll be knocking about somewhere outside the ground near the Iron Bar or in it. So if you see me, stop and say hello 👏🏼

[@englishfootballleaguepredi7034]

That terrace and the fans in there are the die hards ,so many great nights and days I've had on there . Anyhow UTI!!

[@alangreaves5117]

Excellent match reviews Gareth, watched a few recently. Good luck to the “Iron”, keep going lads and hopefully you will 14:17 get out of this mess soon. All the very best from a Spireite.

[@christianwolstenholme747]

Witnessed scenes similar at Bloomfield Road on too many occasions, I can sympathize. Sharp haircut Gareth btw.

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Haha cheers, bit shorter than I’d normally have it. Though I’m warming too it 😂🤣 it’s happening far too often now with clubs. The fit and proper persons test, needs fit and proper people doing it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mikeenright8793]

The fans on the pitch do care , just hope things turn around for you guys and you stay up . Come on the iron .

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers Mike. Yes they care, protest takes many forms. This is just a visible form. It had the desired effect, it’s made the press and was shared on media. I feel more protests will happen, the longer the mess lasts.

[@astronomenov99]

I'm a Wrexham fan. I enjoy your videos. It's sad what Scunthorpe is going through. I really hope you pull through and stay in the NL.

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers. Yeah it’s happening to too many clubs at the moment. We won’t be the last either. We need a change of ownership very soon and some points. That may just help us stay in the league haha

[@aldhous]

On the plus side that’s a smashing haircut, mate. 👍😉

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

😂😂😂 haha I’ll take that as a positive 👏🏼👏🏼

[@philsmith3188]

Really do hope you get new owners very soon. If you go down but get a new owner in then that gives you a positive future. Keep the faith from a Wycombe fan

[@johnbailey4595]

Hope things work out for you it's always the fans that suffer hopefully you get someone in soon cheers from John a gashead

Great vlog again Gareth, thx for posting. UTI !

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

No worries Paul, thank you 👏🏼

[@BHJBHJ424]

Massive sympathy to Scunny fans. Fans booing those who went on the pitch but you all have to unite to get Swann out. If you're divided that would suit Swann. Let some fans be (peacefully and legally) militant and then others can back the campaign to get the owner out in a different way. But, as a fanbase, you have to agree to a plan and stick together even if some tactics don't sit well with certain elements

[@seananderson6938]

Great video as per, enjoyed this as a grimsby fan but hope your club stays afloat nevertheless

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Cheers Sean. Funny how may Grimsby fans enjoy the videos this season 😉😂🤣 👏🏼👏🏼

Swann out and I’m a Newcastle fan

[@jonathancainphotography6105]

I would like to Wish you the best of luck with your fight for survival As a Chester fan our unsuccessful fight to save Chester City was painful and wouldnt wish it on any other club especially yours

[@marcus7840]

I really hope you guys get a real owner that will take care of the club and get things turned around for you guys. Good luck..

There's a reason Notts County are playing in the National League .........Alan Hardy was a major part of that !!!!

[@roobs6745]

And he took pics of his todger in the bath and indirectly tweeted it 🤣 the guys a joke..

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Yes quite a few fans don’t want him near the club. For me it feels like we’d be jumping out of the frying pan, into the fire. Though if it meant the club could continue for another 3 yrs or so some people are all for it.

[@elmoswansea1947]

Haircut???? I'm developing a soft spot for Scunny with the situation at your club. I found your vlogs and started watching a few weeks ago! I remember you playing in red when I was a lot younger. I'm thinking the claret/blue colours maybe part of your problems. All I shall say is it's all a bit Villaesque #sotv

[@sky-o9p]

I've developed one too and I support Woking lol

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Haha maybe I should get a fresh trim every week, see if it helps 😂 Yeah it’s not the greatest of situations we’re in. It’s like a viscous circle in all fairness. Though if I can share that with the outside world so more people are aware then that’s what matters. All we can do as fans is support the club and let our feelings be known. Yes a good few years since we played in red. Though a few seasons back we had a red away kit and we were useless in it. So fans were like yeah red isn’t for us. Mind we’ve been useless in Claret and Blue too 🤔 something tells me it’s not the color of kit haha Cheers Elmo 👏🏼👏🏼

[@elmoswansea1947]

@@ScunthorpeUnited yes, you could have a small trim before every game, at least when your bald, it'll save you tearing your hair out 😂 tbf it may get worse before it gets better, hang on in there!

[@englishfootballleaguepredi7034]

I personally think Swanns enjoying this all . He's arrogance and unapologetic nature . Blaming the gambling company etc . He has to realise its his choices ,his mistakes. This is a tale of greed and pridefulness and destroying a great club . Only his greed and pride have got us to this why couldn't he sell 3 years ago when he'd had enough. I fully support the ones who protest they vocally support week in week out . Unlike the side stands who virtually never do . Its been like this since early 90s . I'm on a rant . But I'm right . UTI ,whatever league!

[@englishfootballleaguepredi7034]

For the side stands ,you do say something if we score or get close!!😉🤣🤣😬

[@bigal1462]

Sad really the booing abuse etc the lads got, they're fighting for the club. The least fans who didn't agree could of done is stay quiet

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

Yeah though some people are set in ways. They could have been handing out cash at the same time and people would have booed it still lol

[@bigal1462]

@@ScunthorpeUnited 🤣🤣very true

[@jonathanhall7815]

Truly sad situation, is there a way forward ? Another relegation is looming, will it end there ?

[@ScunthorpeUnited]

So much happening off the pitch at this moment in time. We’re hoping for new ownership. Under a transfer embargo so we can’t bring anyone else in. Appears we’re selling players to cover each months wages, which is great but just leaves less and less players at the club. As for relegation if that happens, then it still means we have a club. Though many thinking we may not see the season out.

[@martryan2060]

Alan hardy will take you to the premier League Northern! As a neutral you need just to see the season out relegation is more or less A certainty bar a Lazarus moment You need to follow Stockport formula go down and rebuild with new not property driven owners Good luck 👍

[@ianbirchnall5672]

I hope you get your club back to where you want it. But as a Notts fan, I hope for your sake its not Alan Hardy. His ego will get in the way of doing what's right for your team.

[@shawnmason5551]

I'm not a fan of The Jam. Losing to Woking, well they are good, still it hurts. Then the winding up order. For the love of all that is good, Peter, do right by this club. Give us back Glanford Park, sell the club, give us a reasonable chance of survival. Go back to Blackpool, lick your wounds, and sit back down at the foot of Mrs. Swann. Stay out of football forever more. UP THE IRON for ever and ever! And cheers to Jack!

[@phildavies100]

Well done scunny fans..use every tool in the box…

Like is said last week if we dont back it up its all pointless we were shocking yday no fluency no fight no idea this team is going down ive said it for months..... I wouldnt mind but woking were moderate at best i didnt rate them at all but were still easy winners Its a shambles...... God alive

[@hazbullafrenson]

while i agree we need to get rid of swanny our fans just dont think, storming the pitch is going to have an impact on wether lavery stays or goes aswell as new owners looking in seeing that the pitch keeps getting invaded, they are gonna wanna buy less, its just common sense we want to get new owners through the door so just stay in the stands ffs
