“The Iron should tell Sky to ram it - they never put us on despite being the best team in the country over the last five years.
It is a disgrace that not one Iron vs Hull/Grimsby/Lincoln/Dony derby has ever been screened .... all they've ever caused is misery like thge time they switched the Bristol City home game to a Monday or the Leicester game to 5pm...RUBBISH.
Up the Iron!”

“This is a great chance for the club to make a bit of money "unitedoldboy", if you had wanted to attend a match cheaply, you should have attended either the first or second round games, just like the 2,000 of us did.
UNITED V MAN UTD, and you want half price entry, Scunthorpe people will never ever surprise me with their comments.”

“Being on Sky gives us the income which we would have got if the game had been at Old Trafford, therefore a good result all round. Will be and interesting encounter at GP and one which will give us all 90 minutes of near fantasy football.”
