Quoted from KingstonMariner


I don't in the least. I doubt they were complaining whe they were cheating their way to promotion. I feel more sympathy for, say, the Mansfield fans.


I think that’s asking a lot of the average fan to understand and appreciate the economics of a football club (or any conventional business for that matter). Equally, we’re never really privy to the financial details until accounts are released some considerable time after the events.

I speak entirely hypothetically here, but if we win promotion this season and then it transpires that we spent 200% of turnover on wages, is that the fault of the fans? Supporters are generally happy when all is good on the pitch, and unhappy when it’s not.

Bury fans are no different to us in that respect, and in that sense I feel for them. Could it be us? If football continues in its general direction then it probably will be, sooner rather than later.

Be careful what you wish for.

I think you’re underestimating people. Not everyone is an ostrich like consumer. If you start signing players a cut above what you’re used to you have an inclination about something. People have access to all sorts of information these days and it only takes a few to find company accounts even if it is a year after the event. And in Bury’s case this has been going on for years.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Especially considering the group who were apparently close to a takeover took one look in detail at Bury's finances and said thanks but no thanks. Makes you wonder what these other potential buyers see in taking on a small club with massive debts...

Bury expelled from the league!


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Sad times. For Bury and for football outside the bubble of the Premier League.
