Lots of City links. Used to be owned by Bernard Manning Jr, Ronnie Evans was physio there for a while etc.So they do! And to think I used to work in Bury and drive through Radcliffe. Curse my own ignorance. South Lancashire FC it is, then!
Edit: Bloody Jon Macken is Radcliffe's manager as well!
The problems facing lower league clubs are the result of the formation of the Greed is Good League in 1991....look at how the numbers have escalated.....players on 200000 a week plus ..... small clubs survived by selling on their best players up the leagues.....the influx of foreign big money players has all but removed that income.
Would not be a shock to see more old clubs go the same way...Oldham could be going that route too with the idiot they have in charge.
At the end of all this the Premier League edifice WILL implode and tears will follow for some BIG clubs.....its not sustainable.
Yep quite a few ex City have turned out for Radcliffe, Peter Barnes, Gary Buckley, Steve Kinsey, Ged Brannan, and Ian Bishop have all played there mainly due the contacts of Kevin Glendon (also ex City) and Bernard Jr who is still an owner to this day.Lots of City links. Used to be owned by Bernard Manning Jr, Ronnie Evans was physio there for a while etc.
The ground is a bit hidden away so easy to miss but is being run well as far as I can tell. Pitch slopes a bit to me, although at £2.60 a pint at the bar it might be something else.

Yeah we did, we already tried to help. Tough break.I haven’t read all the post but didn’t city give them our old carrington training to use free of charge on the condition they maintained the pitches?
They didn’t and city kicked them out around June time.
Dale didn't sound like he's a man with the intelligence to turn this around,he was also the polar opposite of inspirational.Must listen: Bury owner Steve Dale and player Stephen Dawson in furious bust-up LIVE ON AIR over unpaid wages https://talksport.com/football/efl/588249/listen-bury-owner-steve-dale-stephen-dawson-bust-up/
This shows what a mess Bury FC are in. Hope the club is saved before Dale takes it to the wire and
Gigg Lane is flattened for housing.
For what was, in those days, a large amount of money (£45K, iirc). Plus the pre-season friendlies we had there, where the fans changed ends at half time. It's not as if we got him for free.One really large link...one Colin Bell was signed from Bury.
It is mate yeh, but is that our fault? we hit the jackpot with our owner, before that we were the fuckin experts of bad ownership, we so nearly went under remember? don’t recall people/clubs lining up to help to save us?
Yeah we did, we already tried to help. Tough break.
I don't think it is either, the club was mismanaged.If Bury can’t pay the players then they’d struggle to maintain the pitches.
This is not the fault of Bury’s fans. This is not the fault of Bury’s fans. This is not the fault of Bury’s fans.
Thaksin Shinawatra’s intentions towards City were arguably questionable but he didn’t sell us to toilets like Bury, Chester or Hereford.
I don’t want any club to go under. Not United nor Liverpool.
We had gone off topic and were talking about Radcliffe (Borough). Colin Bell is the very reason I am writing this now and I dare say the reason some are reading it. My dad was of the era where one would attend whoever was playing at home that weekend. So Bury, Bolton, Burnley and so on. However when he was sold to us he started following City.One really large link...one Colin Bell was signed from Bury.
