It’s the stupid twitter brigade at its finest Like asking for a minutes applause for a family member as they once drove past Hillsborough Now having a quick clap for a club because it wasn’t run properly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Sucks what happened. Blaming the EFL is pointless. The EFL is a self-regulating body made up of the football league clubs. Football needs independent regulation and scrutiny. A minute applause is just an empty gesture to make people feel like they’ve done something.

Jon Newsome Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Why are football fans so obsessed with grief, especially something as ridiculous as clapping a club because it's been run like crap, overpaid players they shouldn't have been able to have and in effect cheat another side out of automatic promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely that 99.9% of the football community have stood watching this from the sidelines without offering any help. You mean like Man City, who allowed Bury to use their training facilities free of charge but they ended up trashing it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, the current system was never designed to prevent clubs from going out of business, it was designed so that the league table could be manipulated. Having said this I don't have any sympathy with those who run the football club. As with any business there is red tape that needs to be negotiated and in this instance that includes the efl's corrupt rules, that the clubs committee will/should have known about all along. My sympathy lays with the supporters who really are the only innocent party in this debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wonk Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 As Penistone road will be nice and safe before the game we could hold a vigil... maybe fans could link hands a la paperchain formation along the central reservation...each fan has a letter on chest spelling out our support for Bury FC. Picnics,face painting for young uns,volunteers in stocks with Chairman Dale masks on to throw wet sponges at... Party on the Penistone...somat like that then at 5 to 3 off into match and let volunteers from the safety advisory group tidy up while we watch a lovely victory safe in the knowledge we have done our bit and with that nice warm feeling inside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Bury will be back - enter the non-leagues and steam through like Wimbledon. It's awful at the moment and a sad reflection of the game but their fans must look forward and hopefully gain possession of Gigg Lane and re-apply to the conference.

Weshallovercome Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I can understand people saying it's 'too little too late and pointless'. part of me feels the same way, but for some it will be cathartic. I believe Bury's demise has hurt us all, personally, I'm hurt and angry about it in equal measure. Bury were so badly let down by the EFL, the fans didn't deserve that.

I much prefer that approach. “Bring a Bury Fan” day. Get it done DC. Obviously the scheme would plateau once we’d brought a few thousand of ‘em, but we’ll address that when we get to it.

How do you expect such a body to regulate itself? Exactly. And the clubs themselves (or at least the owners) want to be able to do as they please. ..including to anyone they want. If they all signed up as members to some sort of proper process of enforcement with regards their Fit and Proper test, then it'd work. But they won't. For too many of the spivs it would be like Turkeys voting for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Just heard the owner in the radio saying he doesn’t like football and he had never heard of Bury FC. Wasn’t even aware there was a club in the town. Proper fit person eh EFL. Well done with the background checks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm sorry to say I was too gutless to say I disagree with this until I came back an hour or so later and saw others had already done so. The EFL aren't at fault - I do feel for Bury fans, because there but for the grace of god, and all that - and if I didn't have SWFC i'd not really be able to fully appreciate football afterwards. But, what can we as fans change by doing something like this? Absolutely nothing. Something needs to be done, but it needs to be something significant and co-ordinated across football fans as a whole, at least those fans who understand the plight of clubs like Bury and Bolton, and there are others too. How are Coventry getting on these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one of those who thinks the moon landing was faked, or that we live on a flat earth etc, but I do follow this train of thought.
