Re: Scunthorpe...
And if anyone is going to bring the feelgood factor back to dfc and its fanbase, it's surely got to be the international organisation for standardization.

We've conceded 10 in a week with no reply.
This is bad enough, and proves the point you were making.
You took two extra goals for extra effect
"Monday shall be identified as calendar day [1] of any calendar week, and subsequent calendar days of the same calendar week shall be numbered in ascending sequence to Sunday (calendar day [7].
If you are going to "standardise" things, surely by definition you need more than 1 of a thing to work at aligning?
Re: Scunthorpe...
Indeed you do. As there are seven days in a week then there are conceivably seven possible starts to the week (ie there might be some people who argue that Tuesday is that start of the week, some who argue it's Wednesday, and so on) so there is "more than one of a thing" being aligned. Not that hard to work out, really.EDJOHNS wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 1:17 pmIn that case bollocks to the IoS.

Re: Scunthorpe...
May be they can teach us something, as this extract from their official website shows:-
"Glanford Park has been bought by a not-for-profit company, securing the home of Scunthorpe United for generations and creating a new, sustainable future for the club.
As part of the deal, an anticipated 100 jobs are expected to be created from developments around the ground along with up to 150 homes for older residents and people with complex needs on an area which already has outline planning permission.
Early plans are in place to enable the creation of new employment in leisure and health and wellbeing sectors as well as others.
Holly Mumby-Croft, MP for Scunthorpe and Vice Chair of the Town's Fund Board, said: “This deal represents a bright new future for club, for the community and for our town – it has been backed by government cash.
“Securing the ground as Scunthorpe United's home will be a welcome relief to fans who now know that the team will always be able to play at Glanford Park.
“We have had meetings with the club and with Government to get the right deal in place to make sure the community is a key part of developing a new sustainable future. Glanford Park not being in the hands of any one single person was critical to securing that new future.
"Lots of people have been in touch with me, supporters and local residents alike and I’ve listened. It’s great to be able to confirm that through working with the council and the club we can now start to build further.
"Michelle has shown a real passion for the club and the fans, she has been a pleasure to work with and her iron will has ensured the deal has been completed.”
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “The Government has provided a lot of cash to back communities across North Lincolnshire in recent years and today marks another such occasion.
“The ground is safely in the right hands to create a new future for the club and the revenue generated will ensure a good deal for taxpayers and that more money can be reinvested back into the ground and the host of community activities for young people and families.
“The new jobs that will be created and the new homes for older people – which is more than a third of the population here, are key parts of building a brighter future.”
For Scunthorpe United, it is another monumental milestone in the resurrection of the football club. The primary focus of the Board of Directors when they took over as custodians of the club was to bring Glanford Park back to the fans, and back to the community.
By completing the deal in a community interest company, Glanford Park will always be protected within the community, and will never be at threat, regardless of any changes to the Board or future ownership.
“Going forward, we need to continue to tackle the extreme levels of debt that were left with the club when we took custodian. Donations from local businesses and people around the town have been totally humbling, and it shows how desperate everyone in the area has been to keep their beloved football club going.
“All of the additional money that we’ve been able to get in is helping to pay off our debt and get us one step closer to being more sustainable as a football club, which we are striving to do every day.
“The hard work doesn’t stop. In fact, it truly does start today. We got our football club back. We got Glanford Park, our home, back and now, we must fight to keep it, and the only way we can do that is through donations, sponsorship, buying tickets and merchandise, and supporting as many of our Glanford Park is now owned by a community interest company, The New Show Ground CIC, which is a non-for-profit organisation which exists to benefit the community not private shareholders. The board will be made up of club officials, community representatives, the council and fans.
The ground and surrounding land has been secured with some private backing from supporters with the majority being Government cash through the Town Deal "
