No home win against The Iron since 1978.
Last 3 outings IIRC:
2009: 1-1 Rodgers last game - sacked after argument with Dellor (IMHO Rodgers was right and Dellor wasn't about the specific point)
1999: 1-1 East Stand singing "we're shit and we're sick of it" which led directly to PANTS Day
1979: 0-1 Only home defeat of title-winning season caused by Deathie doing a Captain Oates impersonation in a blizzard by the A Stand corner flag
Nevertheless I'll go against the tide of history 3-1 to us on Sat.

never seen us beat Scunny. In fact, last season was the first time I actually got to see us play them. In keeping with tradition, I will go for a turgid, backs to the wall, 0-0 draw.

Will be losing my Scunthorpe cherry on Saturday too
Conversely unbeaten against them since end March 1979, over 30 years ago since they last beat us
So we've lost 4 out of 24 games ever?
We're their jinx then, surely?

More a case of a game we expect to win but don't (most recently) and something unusual happens.
What odds on a record league attendance v Scunny this saturday?
Anyone else go to the 3-0 away win in '78?
IIRC a mazy Pat Earles dribble and chip over the keeper for one of the goals.

*no OAP*
Pat Earles (memory lane pause) - he was a bit of a clunker but got the job done abd looked quite classy on occasion - were we Div 3 then?

Was there for the 3-0 win. Thought the chip over the goalie was an own goal.

Scunny are even worse this year as they have lost there best player Gary Hooper to Celtic. Our wingers can easily beat there full backs and longy churchy or hunty could all easily beat there back 4 for pace. i believe a comfortable victory is in the bag

SteveRoyal :evil: oxf*rd jinx.
Opening day home defeat to the relegation favourites plus 4 injuries - we got away lightly!
Still, we've got Doncaster away to come - that is some jinx we have on them.
