[Football] Bury FC.

It's disgraceful that this is happening while average at best players are earning £50k upwards a week and agents are fleecing clubs for millions. It has to stop.

Only had the one visit to Gigg Lane. August '81 ground hopping. Got a punch on the nose, said we were doing the 92 and then went round the pubs and on to the ground with them! Spent the afternoon explaining away my white t-shirt with the fancy red streaks. Ever since, always kept an eye out for Bury....and their scores! Even remember the lads name who landed the punch, Duggie.

Shame you got your new 'owner' rather than the Salford lot.

Maybe the time has come for the nursery club system in the Football League?

Rather than the Under 23 league in the Premier, should say Manchester City or United effectively take over the ownership of Bury and run it as a youth/reserve/development club?

I can't think of anything worse. Imagine supporting a club that is forever just a glorified youth team for a Premier League club to blood its youngsters with, in effect just being a B team for a Chelsea or a Man Utd. It would completely wipe out that clubs own identity.

Not for me, Clive.

Your name isn't on a seat, for whatever reason that never happened in the end - but that hardly matters in the overall picture.

Says here they are..
