[Albion] Whatever's going on with us, spare a thought for Bolton

[Tooting Gull]

From bad, to worse, to dire, to catastrophic...and now this

[B-right-on]

Blimey, that's a fall from grace.

The footballers will be OK, as always its the 'little guy' who gets hit the hardest. Catering / ground cleanering staff etc..

 

[Icy Gull]

Very much so, wasn’t it just a few years ago their chairman tried to instigate a no relegation from the Premier League idea?

 

[TSB]

Half our old Championship team is there.
I wonder what next for them.

He did, a very foolish, selfish and short-sighted proposal that happily was given short shrift. But as he's unsurprisingly a) no longer in charge, because he's b) dead, I won't hold that against the current staff, players and fans...

 

[Gwylan]

It's rather depressing to read that a local Championship club has donated shopping vouchers but the two Manchester clubs (two of the richest in the world) have seemingly sent diddly-squat.

Half, you say? Bit of a stretch, considering the reality of how many of our old players are actually there.

Well, like two or three. One-third or so.

I know. “M61 closed following reports of person on a bridge.”

As if living in Bolton wasn’t bad enough...now you can’t cross a bridge without causing a major incident.

 

[The Clamp]

What a position for the staff to be in. Keeping on attending work and instead of a paycheque you get to queue up for a few bags of food. Hoping that it may get better and you may keep your job and get paid again. Impossible position.
If you resigned would you get benefits? Surely there must be some financial help other than the basics of existence?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Food vouchers aren't going to pay their rents or mortgages.

Quite. As usual it’s the poor saps at the bottom of the food chain that take the hit.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

In true Monty Python style both Ipswich and Notlob were relegated this year....now one is a dead parrot...

A weird co-incidence or what?
