tomorrow can't come quick enough 14:17 - Oct 16 with 2302639 views | batman | Not for us, but for Bury. i was credit checking a potential customer and decided to nosey onto BFC's file and was (or maybe not) supprised to see a new CCJ for circa £22k lodged only Wednesday this week. looks like they are in need of a bumper crowd tomorrow to settle some bills | | | | |

Jesus that makes for grim reading, if accurate it doesn't look good for a buyout for the Gigglers.. | |

It’s like the vast canyon has finally come into view, where once stood a bridge there is no longer a bridge and the train is heading for oblivion. Mass panic has ensued as everyone clambers over one another trying to get off the ride only to realise all the doors are locked and there’s no way off. Years ago they were screaming to the driver “go faster go faster” now their screaming “stop stop” not realising the driver got off months ago because he knew there was no bridge at the canyon and the train was heading for complete disaster. | |

“The reality with Bury is that there is no equity there whatsoever. There's charges and debts everywhere you look.” Daily Telegraph - Friday 16 August 2019 And they have the cheek to blame the EFL. | |

Relying on player sales and big away crowds to pay the bills isn’t sustainable long term. It could take a few bad seasons and Dale could face problems too. Granted Dale aren’t securing debt to every inch of Spotland but we’re not bulletproof. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Strength in numbers. The reality is that Bury are unique in how they spent so much money they never had. They were advertised as a guaranteed return on investment and to no surprise that attracted the toilet of investors and Stuart Day was who they got. Having gone mad playing the part of 'The Chur' in Chairman manager 2017, he sold it to a grizzly bear, who wants the original guaranteed return on investment. If we hit a dry patch with cup runs and player sales then we're in bother, but our board are aware of this and we appear to be saving for that rainy day. If the worst did happen to us, it'd be because our regular income is far below what's needed. | | | |

There's a thread over there apportioning blame for this. Excluding our own Brierls, 10 folk have pinned their colours to the mast and of those, only 3 have suggested that fans might have done more - the other 7 have pointed fingers elsewhere. It might also be reasonable to suggest that at least one of the 3 is benefitting from hindsight. Hardly a scientific poll by any means, but the anecdotal evidence that "nothing could be done" certainly seems to be the majority mindset. If nothing else, this is a salutary lesson to every fan of lower league clubs everywhere if one were needed. | |

Nothing can/could be done, yet there will be potentially (at best) a few hundred drowned rats assembling at Giggle Lane tomorrow to protest. About what, if nothing can be done ? Where were these protests when it mattered ? By asking and pressing the point, they could have flushed out SD1 and proved what a charlatan he was by asking a few pertinent questions. ? The EFL may be weak in terms of enforcing the expulsion, but they cannot be accused of not giving them every chance to get it sorted. Bury FC was an independent business, run by its' own employees. Once the people involved have passed the relevant checks (which they did) the EFL have no jurisdiction whatsoever, as to how that business operates, util breaches of their membership rules become known. The blame game stops with SD1. He was the charlatan who steered the boat firmly towards the rocks. Introduced by Neville Neville (who must have trusted him sufficiently). Wrecked by SD1 who was on a massive ego trip. All this garbage about buying the fans refreshments at away games. It was borrowed money. They were unwittingly increasing the debt. SD2 has done exactly what ruthless businessmen do. Stripped the business down to the bare minimum to cut the losses and try to save money. Even now, he hasn't gone far enough. It's leaking money at a phenomenal rate and the lifeblood of the business is ebbing away. Blame SD1 85% SD2 5% - (for bad attitude and pi$$ poor communication skills) (most) Fans 10% - for wallowing in the obvious excesses and ignoring the blatant misuse of funds and turning a blind eye to the phenomenally increasing debts whilst it suited them. Only now are they 'up in arms' about their beloved club, as it struggles towards its' crypt. Roll on next week, when a final decision is made and everyone knows what the future holds. | |

tomorrow can't come quick enough on 11:54 - Aug 16 with 4319 views | ParkinsGimp | I just caught the Dawson "whine" , this is the same Dawson who left the Dale for more money at Scunny, then left them for "more money " at bury! Now didnt he look around the changing room ,then out at the battery throwing kids and think" hang on this isnt sustainable? " No he swallowed the Milky Bars like a majority of their fans . The Leon Clarke comment about Sheff Utd not being able to match burys wages is amazing and not one of these radio pundits is picking up on this and putting the boot in like it should be done. They lorded it up for years and now they are crying like little spoilt babies. The audacity to ask bigger clubs to bail them out. Didnt the football community bail them out last time with all those mugs names on the backs of seats all over the hockey stadium. There is about 10 % of decent bury fans who I feel some sympathy for since like Tupak they understand the situation. The others are suffering delusional paranoia and have had delusions of grandeur for the past 40 years. Pleaase get rid of them and be done. Decent fans can go away , start a fresh and be honest with themselves and others and then maybe we would have sympathy for them and help them out . But at present the majority of their fans are so self centred and toxic its disgusting. | | | |

The thing is, if we did hit a dry patch and had to cut back, I'd accept the reality of the situation and if it meant playing in League Two then I'd live with that quite happily. | | | |

tomorrow can't come quick enough on 14:10 - Aug 16 with 3685 views | chalky_ncfc | Wow,that is some radio interview when you have players phoning up to have it out with the owner over wages,you've got to be in financial difficulties and starting to.worry about your home and family to do something like that because it it was untrue then your future at the club would be non existent | |

tomorrow can't come quick enough on 14:14 - Aug 16 with 3654 views | 49thseason | So the question is when bury were in breach of Dawson's contract by not paying him, why didn't he look for another club? Dawson is a decent footballer capable of earning good money elsewhere, so, why is he still at Bury when everyone else has left? Does he have a career-ending injury? Is he not able to read the writing on the wall? Or is he earning (when paid) the sort of money that he knows he can't get anywhere else, hoping the club will be bought out? | | | |

Therein lies the difference. I think most of us are level headed enough to accept our clubs limitations. I'd love us to sign a squad of stars and storm through the leagues. I know that we can't afford that though. I also accept that I'm likely to see Dale play in L2 again and possibly non league in the future. I knew what I was signing up for when I decided against City or United as my team ;) | | | |
