Bury FC

[scawsby steve]

A woman, an ex-director of Bury FC, has chained herself to the main stand at Gigg Lane in protest at the situation before Friday's deadline.

These people into BDSM eh?

😀

Sorry bury but the powers that be don't give a toss

[glosterred]

No one is going to give a toss as she’s chained herself to a drain pipe getting in no ones way.

COYR

I’d of maybe taken a chair at least!

Bless!
I do hope she has an umbrella,

[jackthelad]

Bless!
I do hope she has an umbrella,

She did have one!

A sad state if affairs all round.

[Retdon1]

Sadly it looks like they will be gone by Friday.

Bless!
I do hope she has an umbrella,

And a bucket...

Sadly it looks like they will be gone by Friday.

they'll soon reform, set up the "either end of the A58 League" and be playing Bolton on a regular basis - if Wanderers can be arsed to turn up, of course

travelling costs at a minimum, plenty of money spinning local derbies to excite the fans, it'll be great...

Think it's a lost cause. It's clear that Dale doesn't really want to save Bury, he's just interested in stripping every penny he can out of the club. He's a bit of a disaster capitalist it seems. Nothing the EFL can do at this point, although how he passed the fit and proper person test is another matter...

[Chris Black come back]

If they go bust then our next two games are at home against Lincoln City.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

And then Rotherham at home in the league....

[Chris Black come back]

That second Lincoln City game is going to attract an attendance so minuscule that a microscope has yet to be invented that can identify how small it will be.

[Branton Rover]

It’s the useless Football League to blame their so called ownership test is a joke to allow a twice bankrupt buy the club is a farce - Bury should be given a stay of execution while they sue the league for allowing this bas**rd into their club

[MachoMadness]

A well-researched article explaining just how f**ked Bury are. Well worth a read. It will take a miracle at this point. http://priceoffootball.com/bury-minutes-to-midnight/

   Jesus that's a basket case scenario...Dale is obviously a piece of work,i've seen exactly the same scenario played out a hundred times with asset strippers.. creating new companies to transfer assets into is always the very first course of action when these people get control of companies..It's the biggest red flag there is...

I remember a couple of years back one Rovers supporter, on this very forum, was contrasting the ambition of Bury FC with the approach of our owners.

I said then it would end in tears.

[SydneyRover]

138% interest would bring anyone to tears

Who currently owns the ground?

So did i SM. They have been over spending
( understatement ) for quite a few years now.
This was always going to end in a melt down.

Just don’t understand how some people can’t see how well run a club we have at DRFC.

[Michael Shaw]

 ....   and we have Terry Bramall and Andrew Watson paying off our debts. We are very lucky.

[goalkick]

People even wanted us to get involved with hedge fund company's saying it was the way forward

Worst thing of it is, I don't believe he did pass the test! Somehow, he hasn't even taken it yet despite being allowed to take control of the club and sink it to oblivion.

From reading the Bury forum, my understanding is that because Dale bought all his shares for £1 the sale went through quickly and before the EFL knew about it.  Once he had the shares I don’t think the EFL had any power to remove him. 

Maybe the EFL are now effectively applying the test via their withholding of the “golden share” for league membership until Dale proves his financial position.

That's exactly what they will be doing.

We don't have any debts, thanks to TB and the Watson family.

Because we are a club that’s run properly the EFL deem not to act quickly when Bolton unilaterally cancelled the game on Tuesday. What will the EFL say if Ipswich score double figures against the same players on Saturday again nothing. The EFL should suspend both Bury if still alive and Bolton for a season. If they both prove they are viable then they can start again in League 2 and only relegate two teams this season.
It will show if you allow your club to be run down there will be consequences above points reduction

I have not seen the accounts but expect that the situation is that the club is indebted to the above mentioned owners who could at any time demand payment which, if they did, would inevitably place continuance of the club in jeopardy.  Just as it would have done if JR had called in his loans. Owning a football club is a rich man's hobby in most cases.
