Bury fans club AFC start a new life in NWCL

[urban genie]

Is there anything worse than a football fan referring to Bolton as Notlob?

Think it less a football thing and more of a local bit of ribbing, I know people using the term who don't follow football

Why don't they join forces with Notlob? I'm being serious. They could build a new stadium on the Bury/Notlob border and call the club Bury and Bolton. However, here is the rub: They still have two teams, one called Bury FC and one called Notlob Wanderers FC. Finances are pooled and admin staff/groundstaff club shop personnel etc and are all working for the club of Bury and Bolton. At the end of the year finances are divvied up between the two teams for transfers etc but is based upon league position and attendances/merchandise sold. So say Notlob outweigh Bury by 30% their budget for transfers is 30% higher than Bury's. Just an idea to keep both clubs alive in their perilous predicaments. This could only be for a period of say five years or so whilst things stabalise then a decision is made going forward after that.

Terrible idea, bolton and bury are completely different towns.

ITV local news asking fans outside the ground "is there anything more that fans can do" perhaps the answer should be more of us could have turned up at home games.

. I wouldn’t even wish this on united fans. Wankers.

I've wanted MANUre to disappear up its own collective rectum for well over sixty years. I doubt I'm alone among the FOCs in CBL3 and the FYCs in the South Stand.

A club on the brink and there was around 100 fans helping bury out thats the problem should be fair few more than that.

Yet again, the issue is debt. Bury is entangled with two rogue owners, secondary lenders, and a pile of debt. Calls for salary caps, help from big clubs etc etc are not the answer for these provincial clubs. As with UEFA's ffp, the only real control that works is control of debt. Too late for Bury, I feel, but it is about time EFL got a grip and limited debt to a maximum of 1x turnover. Otherwise rogues will continue to use clubs as piggy banks leaving employees, supporters, local traders, lenders etc etc holding the baby. Bet you Bury's owners are sitting pretty. See Blackpool, Aldershot, etc etc ad infinitum.
Any club going over the limit to be relegated without exception and its finances controlled by a receiver. Then we might see a few saved.

Jim Shite has no fucking shame.

Speaking in front of a countdown clock likes it's a transfer day.

Thousands of people may lose their club. Their emotional crutch. Gone. Yet this wanker is gleefully and patronising the club.

I hope people give him pelters on talk shite tomorrow.

I think it is Bye Bye Bury and Bolton, double blow for the Northwest. Just hope they come back in some form better and stronger. Sad sad day.

It is a sad day Rammy, gutted for those fans who have followed their team, for it to come to this.

I'm hoping something positive can come from it, but the current owners need to go, before anything can happen and time is up.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Actually seen some people (city fans) celebrating the demise of these two clubs. I wouldn’t even wish this on united fans. Wankers.




You not see some of the god awful nicknames on here for mourinho, klopp, Liverpool, and almost any other united player?

Steady on.

Seems to be buyers willing but Dale wants his payday and these buyers want him to get fuck all for being a ****.

He witheld vital information apparently which made it impossible.to finalise the deal on the table.

A more responsibly run club will be born out of this mess, run by fans for the fans......just don't sell out a single owner.

If it was the rags I’d have booked tomorrow off in the hope I would have the mother of all hangovers after celebrating all night

Do we know who?

 

[fiddlesticksblue]

I wish I could go back in a time machine to the time the rags were in this state.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I'd like to know what they've done with the Colin Bell money!

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

Do we know who?

A former owner of Gateshead, a consortium pulled together by Ivan Lewis and another which I have forgotten.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Regardless of which particular club it is on this occasion, I find it a bit distressing that they can be put into these positions due to financial mis-management.

There needs to be a football league re-think and a better way to prevent this - I would be devastated if this had happened to us (if they do go to the wall).............
