In short, the owner has withdrawn all funding with immediate effect and they are having to move out of their ground and share with Gainsborough Trinity instead.
Really sad to see Scunthorpe going down the pan like this - they were my mum's team when she was growing up in the town so always had a soft spot for them.
Scunthorpe were basically a model club just a few years back, making the L1 playoffs (and in the Champo a little further back). To see them three divisions lower so quickly is frightening.
I was optimistic for GA after some good performances where they really did not get the rub of the green, but he may need to pick up some wins soon now that they are in the dreaded relegation spots.
It has been a poor day for officials today. I think there will be a tackle (or two) in the Arsenal vs Bournemouth game that should have been looked at.
Really felt for Klopp in his interview, if he says it how it is, he gets banned and fined but nothing with happen to all of those involved today, they might have a weekend off but thats no big deal to them. PGMOL need to look at the whole process and need to be more transparent on their decision making. Having the audio on how they have made a decision on the speakers would help. The Howard Webb TV is awful, what's the point in looking at things in the past tense? Plus, they would have selected the incidents, not actually showing the incidents that fans want answering
Judging by some of the comments too, attitudes towards their manager in BS7 may be starting to turn for the worse…
…to me it seems that many BRFC fans had previously been fine with the relentless siege mentality, “us against the world”, “he may be an arsehole but he’s our arsehole” etc.
Now it seems some of them may finally be starting to see through him.

Horrible scenes at Scunny…

He's also been banning fans who've spoken out about him or even just hosted forums where criticism has been aired.
Gainsborough have issued a statement saying this is the first they've heard of it https://www.gainsboroughtrinity.com/news/team-news/1183-club-statement-scunthorpe-united-groundshare

Lewis Wing needs a new agent

QPR 0 Coventry 1.
QPR 0 Coventry 2.
Now 0-3,i imagine the fans will turn on Ainsworth.
Being in the relegation zone does tend to make the fans salty
Cheltenham have played 10 games this season and have yet to score an EFL record.
But he got three years instead of two...
I suspect QPR are in the same position as we were...can they afford to pay-off Gaz and the whole ex-Wycombe backroom staff?
That Liverpool own goal has to be one of the funniest I’ve ever seen.
That's why we love football.
Improbable against odds backs to walls job, Tottenham looking hapless. Then that!
Redknapp looks crestfallen, seemingly forgetting he was a Tottenham player too.
Al-Hamadi hat trick today.
Wonder if we regret letting him go, or whether he’s just a good League Two player.
Good league 2 player
You wonder how our team may have shaped up differently with him around.
Who would he play instead of today for instance? He'd not keep Potts or Scowen out for certain.
Aye, he only really came alive in the last half dozen or so Ainsworth games didn’t he?
You can’t blame him for wanting a long contract, but surely you pay your agent to know which clubs are teetering on the brink?
Really pleased to see Luton get their first PL win
I was optimistic for GA after some good performances where they really did not get the rub of the green, but he may need to pick up some wins soon now that they are in the dreaded relegation spots.
If you want a laugh, you should see the MK Don's own goal from today's game!

Football is healing.
Bloody hell, what an utterly astonishing cock-up for the Luis Diaz 'offside'. Our officials are spectacularly inept.

I stand corrected, that is indeed funnier.
New standards in incompetence. Utterly moronic.
We are getting close to VAR awarding a goal to the wrong team.
Joey Barton tears one of his own players a new arsehole in a post-match interview.
Top motivational skillz.

Makes a change from the groundsman, anyway.
Anyone else getting an uneasy feeling that Oxford are this season's Plymouth?
