How's your footy team doing?

And as if that's not enough someone is forcing you to contribute to a thread on .... er .....football, CY! 

Not so much a contribution, more a diatribe against its ubiquity. Its not a thread I follow but felt compelled to have a moan. 

Two good wins on the bounce now for Rovers - things are looking up. And a good match in prospect tonight against the mighty Brighton & Hove Albion. Could there be a giant killing in store? Probably not but it'll be an interesting encounter all the same. 

Feel desperately sad for followers of Bury and Bolton - not much "trickle down" of wealth from the top these days is there? I fear others may go the same way before long. 

Agreed, Moulesy, mate -- What's yours is mine and what's mine's me own  grrrr.  And that seems to be the driving thought in football these days

Couldn't agree more with comments and sentiments above.

I remember going to Gigg Lane about 10 years ago, as an Accrington Stanley fan. We took buckets to collect donations and loose change - we were desperately close to going out of the league AGAIN! The fans at Bury were as supportive and generous as they had been previously. I know how desperate they must feel - they have my total sympathy and best wishes.

If only the bods in control were interested in others outside the premier league????

" How's your footy team doing "  ??

Right Now ??

 B************Y awful, so I'll go and do me accounts - bleah !!

    . . . . and I hear Bury F.C. is  now defunct, deceased and departed from EFL -- one down, seventy one to go, then the so-called Premier League can go and play with itself !! Or should that read play by itself ?

Now it appears that Bolton Wanderers F.C. has escaped the Great Expulsion  due, eventually, to a successful take over !

Brian, though,  is still wondering if it took place so late due to  ' the money '  waiting to see if the F.A or EFL really would see Bury booted out,  or just give more extensions.

I must APOLOGISE !!

I've been chatting to Crewe Mad neighbours who tell me that despite a 6 - 1 beating the fans applauded the Alex off for their performance.

Makes one proud to be a footy fan !!

Sad day for Bury and for football, which should hang its collective head. I had a couple of happy years attending Gigg Lane with a couple of mates, all of us disillusioned with the main leagues. Non of us were born or bred in Bury but we all lived there and were happy supporting a local club. Feel for the real fans and locals.

I understand that the EFL hadn't even completed proper due diligence on the ToeRag who bought the club. Those responsible shouldn't be around to "Learn the Lessons". They should be removed from their responsibilities.

Only a matter of time before another one folds.
