The
'Winterton Iron' have official meetings every fortnight
at 8 p.m. at the Lions Head pub, Park Street Winterton.
On the Mondays inbetween there is an informal gathering
at the same place to book places on buses for away
travel etc.
We
have selected certain away matches for coach travel
from Winterton
We
have sponsored part of the playing kit of Andy Crosby,
and hope to do more in this area.
There
is an Halloween evening next Wednesday at the Lions
Head for the kids
One
of the members is manager of one of the local Dale
Park youth football teams. Three of us went along
to watch them last Saturday and chose a 'Man of
the Match'. Stuart presented him with a Scunthorpe
Utd. goodie bag with stuff bought from the club
shop on the previous day. We hope to do this on
a regular basis. We are also organising sponsorship
of a claret and blue away kit for this team with
'Winterton Iron' emblazoned on it.
Stuart
is very passionate about getting local youngsters
to get involved with Scun Utd and has things planned
at the local schools. This is on hold at the moment
due to Ofsted inspections.
On
the evening of the Hull City home game on November
24th there is a 'bit of a do' at Winterton Rangers.
Two local entertainers, disco, etc have given their
services for free, two burly doormen also are giving
their services and we have the Hall for free too.
£5.00 per ticket, EVERYONE WELCOME. Giant
raffle, many great prizes already secured with many
more on the way. All money raied will be split 50/50
between Hull Flood Victims Relief Fund and the Winterton
Iron. ALL of the Winterton Iron share will be ploughed
back directly or indirectly into Scunthorpe United,
sponsorships etc.
Stuart
and friends are walking from Winterton to the KC
in March for the Hull City away game, hundreds
of pounds have already been pledged. Same two causes
as the Rangers 'do'
After
the Norwich City game on December 22nd Indian food
night at The Lion, hopefully running a bus to and
from Glanford Park on that day so people can have
a pint or two. Stuart feels we could run a bus to
home games more often but this is not easy to organise
because people like to do different things on match
days.
The
aim of our group is to promote the club in a positive
light particularly amongst the young people, some
of them we hoping to catch to become regular supporters
of the future and condemn them to a life sentence
!!!
Tonight
we have a full bus for Sheff Wed, out of them only about
10 have been regular away fans before, so we have
managed to get 40 more people approx. on board.
We
are hoping to use the Winterton crest on future
flags etc,
