New takeover been announced.
-
A property developer, that doesn’t sound too good
-
And the new manager of Scunthorpe United is Jamie Ward, well not yet but soon will be
-
A property developer, that doesn’t sound too good
They will be homeless in no time at all. :facepalm:
Maybe they will be ground sharing with either Grimsby, Lincoln or US next season.

Keep them that side of the border please
After all they always sing " always s**t on the North side of the Bridge" which I took to mean Yorkshire.
So they won't want / need to come here surely ?
-
I really hope they survive but a good 25 years in the NL or lower before getting back in the League would be welcome
-
They have beaten Halifax away tonight and are off the bottom of the table.

Reference to Hull I think Wolf.

I always had it as Hull myself given the Bridge reference
Don't think always s**t on the West Side of the (Trent) bridge would work for Yorkshire

Seriously when you look there are around 25 ex League Clubs down "there" and as we found it was so difficult to return , so 25 years is possible
Who has done the longest I wonder in the modern era
I don't really count Gateshead but probably should and Bradford PA are another.
Better phrase it which team relegated (as opposed to failed to get re elected) have been Level 4 of the pyramid for the longest time

Looks like Kidderminster to me. Relegated in 04/05 and haven’t been back up since. After them is Boston Utd.

They failed to get re-elected. Wolf asked about modern era.

To some of us 1997 was the modern era. ;)

Fair comment
-
Of those relegated from the League since 1986-87 (when automatic relegation started) and have finally clawed their way back I think Newport (Relegated in 1987-88, promoted back in 2012-13) have taken the longest.
-
Cheers DU . Fits DVRs 25 year sentence for Scunny perfectly
-

Even 1977 Idler which I assume you meant. :)
-
Obviously Barrow were out of the league longest .. I checked and it says 48 years ... I knew it was a very long time
-
Scunthorpe are due a bit of good luck, I hope the new owners work out for them. As much as they are rivals I would rather they were in our league, it would be a decent crowd for both games.
-

Bradford Park Avenue never returned nor have Southport and Workington all clubs that were relegated because they were not re elected under the old system.
Bradford PA the longest of that group of teams 1970/71 their last season in the Football League I think.
Barrow though now back as you say CLH so the longest period of all teams in non league who have retuned.
Gateshead though out even longer. Early 60’s
-
Halifax have been absent for far too long.
It's taken some clubs some time to return Inc Luton, who I believe are now the highest placed club to return from the Conference. Aldershot, Grimsby, Lincoln, Stockport to name a few all took perhaps longer than expected to return whilst Notts County, Chesterfield, Wrexham, Chester, are still trying. .
I think it would be fair to sat the National League is more competitive now than our four seasons there and it still took the introduction of the play offs for second spot to give us our lifeline. Without that, who knows how much longer we would have stayed there!

Gainsborough Trinity

New Brighton failed to be re-elected (1951) as did Gainsborough Trinity although it was a lot earlier in their case

And that's still modern to some of us :-]]
-
Wouldn’t be a bad idea to send some of our fringe players on loan there!
-
Really good news for them. Hopefully can turn it around

Read all about it:
https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/Scunthorpe-united-takeover-complete-david-8072412
Some of the clubs listed above went out of business, and needed to be reformed, so are not really a seamless continuation of the previous club.

The new owner on Twitter
“HMRC paid in full as promised, embargo due to be lifted shortly and discussions with playing targets taking place.
Keep your Friday night free we need you here. #thegreatescape”

It took Accrington 44 years.
-
Bootle have the current longest time since being a League team without getting back in.

Bootle have the current longest time since being a League team without getting back in.
The bootle who played in the football league were liquidated and the one that plays under that name now was formed in the 50s.
Northwich Victoria are the team who have waited the longest to get back into league football. 129 years and counting.
Interestingly the closest they've come was when they played us in the conference.
-
So in summary .,... Scunny despite their takeover may take years to " get back in "
Suppose if the bloke bankrolls them they might have a shot at Promo next season.
Looks like they might avoid dropping out of League 5 now with 4 points in 2 games. Go on I say they won't go down, that should make it an interesting last 1/3 Rd for them

Accrington and Newport were liquidated too.

Indeed they were.
Interestingly the next longest time period a team has been out of the football league following relegation are our near neighbours Gainsborough Trinity at 110 years. Darwen were relegated between the two but unfortunately went out of business a few years back.
-
I've just realised that of the five Lincolnshire clubs that have ever been in the League, four of them have been relegated to non-league since relegation started.
-
The new scunny owner has put a tweet out saying they’ll be announcing a new signing on the hour, every hour, between 9am and 3pm tomorrow
Reminds me of the time when Rovers said they were announcing a player a day for a week
I miss the days when there was a bit of fun and excitement about following us
-
A good hammering for the new regime BUT 5110 attendance. 101 away fans so 5009 homers
Good turn out .
