Scunthorpe United supporters invaded the pitch on 70 minutes at yesterday's National League game against Woking to protest about the dire situation at the club.
Scunthorpe United were in the championship in 2010 and as recently as 2017 were on the verge of gaining promotion back to the 2nd tier.
Their demise since then sees them sit rock bottom of the 5th tier and on the brink of going into administration and possible liquidation after being served a winding up petition by the HMRC last week.
The Irons have been losing money for the last decade believed to be in the region of £27m and current owner Peter Swan is in the process of suing bookmakers after running up millions of pounds of debts and has put the club up for sale.
There are interested consortiums but as of yet no deal has been agreed and any hope of a takeover have stalled.
The clock is ticking faster than ever before and time is running out for the Lincolnshire club who were formed in 1899, 124 year's ago, we can only hope a solution is found and soon before we lose another part of our history.
