Re your second point, Appendix A of "NLS Pyramid guidance" https://www.thefa.com/news/2020/aug/19/updated-guidelines-for-return-of-spectato sets out a long set of procedures for clubs to put into place.

Bury will be able able to use much of what Radcliffe put in place for themselves, work alongside them and learn directly from their experience. As such it places them at a distinct advantage to their competitors who'll have to cope by themselves.

Superficially the rule appears odd, though it might be best to hear of the reasons for it before jumping to conclusions. I'd like to believe the FA have made it based on sound Government medical and scientific advice but maybe not.

For example, one factor might be crowds getting into and dispersing from grounds as well as in stadiums during the match.

Basing restrictions simply on total ground capacity ignores how much seating there is where it should be easier to socially distance, eg there's a huge difference between a ground with 200 seats and 2,800 standing compared with 1,500 seats and 1,500 standing.

That list is astounding and a secret for much too long.

Reading Beardys you'd be forgiven for thinking that the EFL is some remote corporate body. According to their narrative, its CEO and chief pantomime villain woke up one morning and on a whim thought to herself "Oh, I think I'll kick Bury out of the league today for something to do".

The reality is rather different. A couple of dictionary definitions of "league" are:
"group of sports clubs who compete for championship" and "an association of sporting clubs that organises matches between member teams". That's exactly what the EFL, for all its faults, is.

There's surely little doubt about the vast amount of ill-feeling and resentment that must have developed towards Bury from member clubs and a major reason why the EFL acted as it did.

Evenin' all

Ex-Bury fan popping in again.

Quick summary of where they're at:

1. Four possible ways forward: Benwell, the Consortium, a Phoenix Club (PC), and Dale putting out a team.

2. Benwell has gone very quiet as have Forever Bury who were cheerleading him.

3. Next to nowt known about the Consortium who're keeping their cards very close to the chest. They're even getting a poster on Beardys to copy and paste the Consortium Head's comments. The only one of their group known is Mark Dunne, a convicted fraudster.

4. Dale putting out a team next season is rarely mentioned. Highly unlikely IMO but defo wouldn't rule it out.

5. Simple characterisation is wide support for the PC on Beardys and the Consortium on Facebook who were Day worshippers to the last.

6. Lots of new posters on Beardys stirring trouble in recent days - seemingly from Facebook. Almost certainly an orchestrated campaign, possibly manipulated by the Consortium.

7. Backstabbling within the PC. Friends falling out with each other.

Picking up on a recent post, there are some still being paid by Dale according to a Beardys poster.

Where will it all end? Not a clue but the Fun Never Stops, for now at least..
