Have to agree with a lot of others on here. They can go and feck themselves! Hate them, they had a massive handout off us last time! Big crowd at the friendly, buckets outside Maine Road and at supporters club meetings (well at least two P&W anyway that I was at) and still they aligned themselves with the rags. They sold, may still do for all I know, rag gear in their club shop, were sponsored by that drunken nob robsons card shop and have close ties with the chuckle family. In short, hope they go the same way as Stockport. They loved kicking us when we were down, some of us have very, very long (and painful) memories!
Smaller team in shock gloating after a win against City.
Come off it.
No team should be so close to the wire. Look at how much TV deals are for the Prem now. But The FA have done little to protect the other divisions which I think they should have done.
A massive handout off who? Yes there was money put in buckets. Same for Oldham IIRC.
City recently took a promising youth player off Bury. Bury requested a friendly but were refused. I think that's a little off. The new youth deals for lower divisions are bad in reality. PL clubs can take whoever they like and pay a 1 off small fee. It was forced by the PL.
I don't see them aligning themselves with any team. Many Bury fans I know prefer City. If you mean by Uniteds reserves playing there years ago then what's the problem? It's money for them. Same as Hyde taking our cash and input.
The club shop selling rag gear was at a time when Birthdays took over it's running. I think there was some City stuff. Birthdays sold many football items in their shops. Bury fans also hated it. But they were lumped with it for a season.
You're free to dislike them I just think your reasoning's a bit short.
