URGENT: Bury FC Petition (update: expelled)

[Wellington Green']

Signed. Good luck.

 

[gru mpy]

Signed but was disappointed at the low total of signatures thus far obtained.
7.5k have so far signed, with time running out, what's the population of the Greater Manchester area 1.2 - 1.4m?
Seems like people up there are not exactly 'rallying around' one of their own.
Either way good luck to Bury.

Dale is really taking this to the wire by the looks of it.

 

[Argylegames]

Dale turns down new offer for club.

[Heathrow Green]

A sixth game suspended. Kicked out of the cup. 2 days to save the club.

Not looking good!

 

[Bermudian Green]

Ironically, his sons are peeing money up against the wall at Salford while his dad's old club is being run into the grave. Priorities.

New update on the beeb: Bury FC: Anger and tears at League One club before EFL decision https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49414602

This makes for some incredible listening - A chairman, live on the radio, arguing with one of his players. No remorse, no sympathy. Nothing.

Reading that Beeb article brings it all back, I'll never forget that feeling when it looked like it was all over.
Goodness me we were lucky we had the right people around at the right time.

There seems such little apathy towards the situation - I don't understand how fans, players and owners of other clubs (Especially those that have visited HP recently...) can stand by and let this happen.

I feel for those Bury fans I really do.

 

[Greenexile]

I wish to send my thoughts and best wishes to all Bury FC supporters at this terrible time for your club! As a true Argyle supporter i wish your club can survive!

 

[Mork]

Done!

Thanks everyone, as said before, you really are a top bunch.

Some of the grief and gloating from the likes of Rochdale, Tranmere and Shrewsbury has been sickening. When I put the petition on Shrewsbury's MB...they were like a pack of rabid hyenas. Blaming it on us...the FANS! Anyway, you're the true side of football.

The petition is nearly at 10000 now, should be more really, as it's so simple to complete but it is, what it is:

You may have seen a former director (Joy Hart) handcuffing herself to the stadium yesterday, if not, have a watch on the link below. Her late father, being a true Bury legend, a one club man for 44 years.

We need prayers now...

I feel sad for him.

I don’t actually think he’s mentally capable of seeing anything other than his own views.

What does he stand to gain from the club if they disappear out of the EFL?

I seriously think he’s not a well man in the mind department.

 

[Carlo]

So gutted for the Bury fans, just isn’t fair. Nothing but respect for them and hope it all works out.

Surely if the EFL can deduct points from a club,fine them for whatever reasons,then why cannot they have power over the owner/s,in this case enforce Dale to accept the offer that was made,therefore saving the club,it seems he is determined to bury Bury footbal club,he and the EFL should be ashamed.

Yes I thought that. Government and Councils, in certain cases of 'breaches' of law/regs, have a Compulsory Purchase power (think Failing Grayling wanted to build HS2 over your house).

Why can't the EFL compulsory purchase or serve a Management Order (Council can do that on unsafe HMOs) on a badly run club? Could take funding annually from member clubs as a fighting fund. Why not? :think:
