Giggler are you OK? Are you OK Giggler?

He's starting to sound like Sam Hammam, which is very worrying. Especially as I recently realised Hammam is the person Trump most puts me in mind of.

[Jumbo McGinnis]

Disappointing one, that. Not enough mad twists or turns in that or finger pointing at everyone but himself.

He's at it again (Dale, I assume). At least he's backed off from the Beeb this time but it seems like the Phoenix club have rattled his cage.

Yes, I can see that. The toxicity leaks out of every sentence. You can tell whoever wrote that has never genuinely owned any mistakes they made.

But Voltaire, Giggler, Voltaire.

I wasn't. I've signed up for AFC membership, I'm sponsoring the number 9 (whoever that might be) and I'm on the heritage committee which has been established to keep memories of the original club alive. And yet, I can't quite be as evangelical about it as some - including some very good friends of mine - are. I had 31 years of Bury and the last 12 months have battered my head as the squabbling and in-fighting continues. I'll buy a season ticket but more for the social aspect for the time being. It may yet grab me in the way the original club did, it may not.

If it's any guide, our first season "back" with 1883 in the NPL was superb.

As I've said, we were made more than welcome everywhere we played by club and supporters alike, with one notable exception, and particularly great thanks due to our hosts at Bishop.

Hope you have a similar experience.

Very well said.

(I thought the Rochdale bloke came across well too)

A fit an proper person to own and control a football club there.

[VillanoXIV]

Huge “and then the assailant turned the gun on himself to avoid capture” energy to that statement.

[Third rate Leszno]

Has he taken the worst of David Icke and Nigel Farage and fed them into a random sentence generator?

[Jumbo McGinnis]

That’s a piece of art.

[EIM]

That's... something. It only really needs them to add "all lives matter" at the bottom.

Something about 5G and Bill Gates

Aye, I can see that. There's bound to be some indifference and some who are mad keen. I am surprised though at that small few who are vocally opposed to AFC. Surely their formation gives a greater chance to Bury FC still existing in the future, rather than doing nowt and just witnessing a slow death?


Best case scenario, however unlikely, would appear to be the phoenix team doing their thing and then melting back into the original club and returning to Gigg, once Dale and all the baggage has gone. I wish you the best of luck pal.

[Paul S]

You may find you don't go back to watching Bury in the way you used to. Found other things to do, new friends, hobbies, interests etc. Thirty one years is a long time to support a club like that and things are different now.

AFC Bury won their first ever game this evening 5-0 at Daisy Hill. 150 lucky souls had tickets. Was our resident Shaker one of them?

[Giggler]

Thanks man.

FWIW I thought you expressed yourself very well there, Giggler

[Jobi1]

Which is the problem Southend have. SUFC have been run terribly over the last 20 years or so but are kept afloat by our chairman and his desire for a large scale property development on Roots Hall

Ditto York City. We have a pretty eye-watering debt to our chairman's other business now. We really should have been moving to the new stadium with a decent war chest from the sale of Bootham Crescent to use to really kick on in terms of on-field matters. But instead, the combination of the farcical construction project at the new place and the astonishingly bad running of the football club in recent years mean that there's a strong suspicion the sale of BC won't now even generate enough to pay the chairman's loans back, so we'll be limping over to the new place with the team stuck in the sixth tier and with barely a tea cup, never mind a war chest, to do anything about it.
