Another night, another friendly defeat. The bucketeers eleven were away against an Ashton athletic eleven (their club also played back to back on Monday & Tuesday) Ashton won 5 nil. The fans are starting to get a bit restless

They gave their first team a run out at lowly Trafford tonight & managed to lose again, 3-2. Interestingly Trafford charged £5 to get in & only a third of the price of visiting the mini swamp

Looks like the mini rags are fed up of turning up & being fleeced out of £15 to watch a friendly, the attendance has been dropping and they’re yet to win a game Bucketeers 0 - Bradford 1 (1688) Bucketeers 2 - Salford 2 (785) Bucketeers 0 - Rochdale 3 (1122) Prestwich Heys 1 - Bucketeers 0...

Actually the financial picture has brightened up a lot in the short term. They’ll have been able to pay the 35k that was due by the end of June. They look like finishing the year on a profit of £69.3k which sounds great but that includes £35k from the sale of Linney (no other sell on clauses...

Good call on City college, they’re trying to jump back into bed with them.

So they didn’t manage to get another Academy provider to open in September & there’ll be no Academy in Pallet Park this year. They’re scrabbling round to try and make to the £64k of profit they forecast and also trying to keep the Academy sponsor sweet

They went on to talk about the plight of Widnes who’ve had to drop out of their league & suggest that sustainability rules need to be brought into non league football. They think sustainable well run clubs like themselves should be handed a competitive advantage. Overlooking that they’ve been...

The board have released another monthly set of documents and they’re as ridiculous, pompous & inconsistent as usual. For instance “protecting the traditional 3pm Saturday match day experience is a core principle for the club and we will not compromise on this for the sake of extra income”...

Well it’s been disclosed & it was quite the windfall, £35k of unexpected profit. That eats into a good chunk of the £63k that they were expecting to gain from next years academy.

The council staff on the board see how many advantages and leg ups they can give one outfit in a city full of deserving causes. Remember the council gave the bucketeers a free pair of oasis tickets back in February to encourage people to buy tickets for the loosely termed legends match early...

So they want to find another local education provider to set up and be ready to go having recruited enough kids to start at pallet park by September after the previous partner finally had enough of all the lies that FC had been telling them about their popularity and the number of kids that were...

Well the latest farce to hit pallet park is another monumental fuck up. Particularly troubling as it’s affecting young people in the area who have been using their academy. As regular readers will know by now the academy was the great white hope. When “the vision” was unveiled they announced...

Piece of interesting news coming out of Warrington town today. Complaining that their goalkeeper who was under contract for another year has been tapped up without their permission & subsequently handed in a transfer request. A team in their league have had an offer of £7500 begrudgingly...

No the clowns at Exeter have felt pity on the bucketeers after seeing the state of their finance & have agreed to get the coach up at their own expense & not take any of the gate receipts. The bucketeers also confirmed once again that one of their “key pillars” which is “3 o’clock on a Saturday”...

I enjoyed the latest publicity. The bucketeers announce it’s cheaper to watch them than go to Old Trafford as it’s just £15 every game to watch them play non league in a half empty ground, It’s £15 to watch all league, cup games and friendlies. They’re expecting their fans to drop £45...

He supported a motion to get off x that wasn’t successful. The chair chucker acted as the boards bulldog and fought it off for them

There’s been no talk of andy Walsh returning to the scene of the crime with the FSA. He was one of 5 people that proposed a members vote that fc come off x at the last meeting and received some criticism there from the usual suspects

They had an unexpected stroke of good fortune lately as they’ll be receiving an undisclosed % of an undisclosed transfer fee due to a sell on fee they negotiated the last time Reagan linney agitated to leave a club that didn’t want to see him (he did the same when he left them)...

The accounts are out for April as well, the club had a good result after predicting a profit of just £2,000 (remember from next month onwards they need to raise £125,000 a year to cover the £75,000 to repay the council & £50,000 to replace the plastic pitch they make most of their money out of...

End of the month means the next lot of reports come out of pallet park. First up despite only being ten years old the floodlights need replacing. who do you think the self entitled bucketeers think should pay for 70% of that replacement cost? Obviously they’re expecting the premier league to...
