Does Mr Day know his plight? 22:21 - Jul 10 with 4480 viewsboffley

It would appear that our friends from the other side of Heywood don't know the difference between a plight and a pledge.

One of the big news items on their website today starts as follows;--

Chairman with another stunning offer for fans…

The chairman’s plight to reduce the cost of football took another step today with the announcement of more savings for Bury supporters ahead of the new season.

Plight??????

The point is SL that the word hasn't been used as a verb. In the context of the sentence it's been used as a noun.

Plight (n) A dangerous, difficult or unfortunate situation.

That seemed rather appropriate to the "buckets", hence the OP.

Point taken. They won't have a clue at Giggle Lane what a verb is, nor a noun.

It can be used as a noun to mean pledge or promise as well, but it is a bit old-fashioned, so I suspect your original point is correct.
