    Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2024/25

    Yes...it was a rubbish following, and yes; I didn't go. Agree fully about your comments regarding our off field issues. Our Chairman appears to be little more than a puppet for the CEO who is possibly the most unpopular person at the club since Tommy Cannon. He seems incapable of realising...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    It's fantastic that Luke has signed for us, and all parties should take credit for getting him to do so, but sadly, our recent record on selling players for small undisclosed fee's is poor. we have sold several really promising players for undisclosed fee's recently; way lower than should be...

    2020/21 General Match Thread

    Hamilton played an attacking midfield role, but he was pretty much a box to box player. Always willing to shoot, and scored a couple of goals. Certainly not afraid of a tackle...leading to plenty of bookings. Hart was much better offensively than defensively, but had the pace, build and...

    How's Ethan Hamilton been playing for you? We had him on loan last season, and he was excellent. It was hoped we would get him back, but for whatever reason (financial or personal) he chose Southend. We also had Sam Hart on loan here and again, he was excellent, until a rumoured bust up with...

    Oh shut it. It was almost 1300, which is half of our home support, and the fooking motorway was blocked. and I didn't come on with the cheap shot...it was the bucket fan.

    Really? I'd say Poor is not taking any fans to any games all season.

    Delighted that my gut feeling was wrong. Awful first half by both teams; then Bolton went ahead somewhat against the run of play, but then just folded, and gifted us the points. Some poor poor tactics from Hilly, especially having a small player up against Wilbraham, which probably cost them...

    I wish I shared your optimism. Whilst Hendo is in the team, we are always capable of winning, but I have an awful feeling that, like Wimbledon, Bolton might break their duck against us..... it's just what we seem to do.

    I too am getting worried. Our Board cut the budget by a reported 30% this season, and it's showing in spades. we have very little pace up front, barring the extremely raw Pyke, who is now injured. I actually do think we will face a relegation struggle, as BBM's insistence on pass pass pass...

    Thanks Kurt. I agree that you should have won. We altered our shape somewhat to accommodate Jimmy Ryan, in place of an In form Aaron Morley, who is another of our kids. You had obviously done your homework on us and outnumbered us in midfield, which nullified our passing game somewhat; thus...

    The Bury summer signing uberthread. WARNING - Contains tinpot material

    Must admit; Dale comes across very badly in the numerous interviews he's done. Whoever is advising him to go public in an attempt to gain any support, is not doing him any favours. Any monies that the PFA have paid to players (and it's usually a maximum of 50% I think) has to be repaid by the...

    The Bury summer signing uberthread. WARNING - Contains tinpot material

    Whether they sold the shares they held, or gave them away in return for a place on the Board is neither here nor there. They did one of the biggest U turns ever when Day 1 offered them a seat on the Board, and in so doing, they sold many of their members wishes down the river. In fact, giving...

    The Bury summer signing uberthread. WARNING - Contains tinpot material

    Stevie Howard omits any reference to the signing of a dozen or so very highly paid players...all of whom were being paid way way in excess of the going rate for a club of Bury's standing. we're talking 5k per week and upwards here...not the norm for a poorly supported L1 or L2 club. This is...

    The Bury summer signing uberthread. WARNING - Contains tinpot material

    The whole thing stinks The overspending at Bury has gone on for years. It's the local businesses who will now be shafted (again) and the club staff who haven't been paid for months who are the victims...not the football club and it's fans who sneered at the minority who saw through the...

    Early Promotion Odds for League 1 19/20 Season

    It's a very sad situation, but looking at it from 6 miles away, it's all been oh so predictable, and even preventable. Bury's Trust must shoulder a large portion of the blame for handing over a huge percentage of the shares to Stuart Day, enabling him to own the club and do as he wanted with...

    Playing budgets next season? (Stolen from League Two)

    I know you have the 12 point deduction for entering Admin, but what happened or will happen about the Brentford game that never went ahead? Do you think there might be another points deduction ?

    Playing budgets next season? (Stolen from League Two)

    Widely rumoured that our budget will be cut significantly from last year, when we were about 4th lowest. I'd suspect that we will be 3rd lowest this year, just above Accy and Wycombe.

    The Bury summer signing uberthread. WARNING - Contains tinpot material

    But aren't Forever Bury; (your Supporters Trust) as much to blame as anyone? They held a large number of shares in the football club, and were originally strongly opposed to Stuart Day taking control. Forever Bury lobbied their members to give them Proxy votes in order to add weight...

    Good signing for Shrewsbury. He did well for Rochdale and was one of the reasons we stayed up. I'd guess we just couldn't match the terms that Shrewsbury offered , and rightly, we haven't decided to overspend.

    Welcome Bury (pending)

    Careful Tommy lad. They paid everyone two days late !!! Not exactly in the same galaxy as at Gigg. Genuinely hope that you can sort the whole mess out....so long as local businesses and families are not ripped off by a prepack Administration and have to settle for a pittance.
