Our abandoned game at Blackpool was declared a draw with the justification that points have to be earned on the pitch, but in the current plight of Bury progress to the next round of the cup can be awarded on a whim. Well remembered and pointed out piece of unfair bullshit there. Thankfully the Blackpool fans forcing the end of the game and denial of our legitimately earned 3 points didn’t cost us on that occasion. My memory is very poor, I was at that game, wasn’t it 0-0 when it was abandoned? |

If they are expelled from the league it will make an odd number of teams in the league so come the last day of the season one team will not be playing as their fixtures will have been completed. They are due to be at home to Fleetwood on that last day. (Bolton are away at Oxford) |

My memory is very poor, I was at that game, wasn’t it 0-0 when it was abandoned? I thought we’d scored, but I’m no memory man either. I just remember the precedent set when that game was abandoned by Blackpool fans’ behaviour. I remember thinking right- next time we’re losing a key game let’s force the abandonment and be awarded a point we need for survival etc. You can’t have fans dictating how points are awarded. |

Bury is part of Greater Manchester and within a stones throw of Gigg Lane are 2 superpowers of world football with more money than i could possibly comprehend. Both Manchester 'giants' profess to be clubs for the people...so the fact they havent even offered to help Bury's plight is shocking to be honest. All it does is cement the fact that no matter how much they go on about tradition etc, all they really are are cash cows and ego massagers for their respective owners.

Not quite sure where the idea that the EFL or Man City or Man U or anyone else for that matter should step in to save clubs who are obviously living beyond their means. They've got themselves in to the mess in the first place. If previously mentioned organisations are going to start chucking a few hundred thousand or even a few million about I'd much rather they chucked it at charities or hospitals for example. |

The proceeds from a man city or utd home games programme sales would probably save Bury.......

The problem with prem teams helping any EFL club that goes down the shitter is that every EFL club will spend money expecting to be bailed out if it goes tits up

All it does is cement the fact that no matter how much they go on about tradition etc, all they really are are cash cows and ego massagers for their respective owners. Should Leeds United who were a Premier League club have gifted Town a couple of million back in the summer of 2002? No. Should Man Utd and City have pumped a few million at Stockport when they were imploding?? No. Clubs should be allowed to succeed and fail...it’s the way of the world. If Bury start again as a non league club and build back by theirselves, then that’s a far better situation. Bury are much better off reinventing like Stockport have done, than struggle on operating above their operational and owners means. There’s no right for Bury to have a full time professional club, the football landscape changes all the time...just look at the National League, it’s full of clubs who were part of the top 4 divisions historically...Bradford PA (a club that spent a LOT of times in the top two divisions), Darlington, York etc. |

That would open a huge can of worms and set a very bad precedent, although I get where you're coming from. Law of the jungle out there unfortunately for money stricken clubs. |

What's the background on this bloke who is in situ at the moment? What is his game? I'm not sure, but there was a mention in the story about the Port Vale owner making a bona fide bid for the club a few days ago that was rejected. It doesn't mention any specifics, so he could have offered a fire sale price, but if he didn't accept a sensible offer you might wonder what his motives are. If that price was significantly below what he paid and any money he's pumped in then you could understand it. All seems a bit murky though, a real shame on one hand, but could end up being the start of the wake up call that's needed. I imagine there are several more like Bury FC who might easily go the same way. |

I do worry for Oldham as well; there’s something going seriously wrong at Boundary Park and their league position means they could very well go the same way. Again, there’s an owner (and his agent brother!) who don’t appear to be in it for the benefit of the club. What is it about this northern corridor of lower league clubs that attracts unscrupulous individuals to think they can make a quick buck! |
