You got an easy one there, DDB. The original bury fc liquidated owing Twelve Million Pounds to honourable debtors. That is the one that is famous for its theft and criminality.
If today's bury fc is the same, and not "totally different", it owes lots of people a total of Twelve Million Pounds.
Pay up or shut up. [Post edited 18 Jul 0:07]

Again, very easy to buy tickets for our home friendlies. They're on the mobile phone now and backed up by e mails.
A user friendly (pardon the pun) system that works well for the fan and the club.
Much better than the system that served a narcissist's ego in preference to fan or club.
Great to have proper people running the club who know what they are doing rather than Roger the pretender. "Law of the land", being born in two towns and all that BS. We don't forget.

Extraordinary day's cricket. Astonishing resolve by India but England got there in the end. Just about. |

I do hope so.
Positive moves on player signings (GK excepted) and new backroom staff indicate progression.
We have to remember how slow to change, negative, boring, and on crucial occasions, downright wrong McNulty's management was last season. Failures never acknowledged. The "clout" and "respect the point" nonsense has not been forgotten. Horror shows that drove fans away. It is whether he can change to be more in line with some of the excellent attacking performances we saw that will be crucial to Dale's fortunes as the new season becomes reality. He's got a superb amount of support from the club. I hope that makes him change his outlook and actions for the betterment of RAFC and himself. 16 games of tippy tappy tripe and a lower half of the table position won't do, whatever the xG says. |

Would swap Cotterill for McNulty. |

Stories invented and spread by a players agent trying to get a fee for a signing?

Reply | Continuing To Reward Failure BBM
at 03:17 13 Jun 2025
Should any Cardiff City fan be looking in, BBM was responsible for the worst stat in Rochdale AFC's history:
When we drew at home V Ipswich in April 2021, under the "hugely talented" (quote: David Bottomley) BBM, we completed a run of 17 consecutive home league games without a win - the worst such run in the club's existence. That season, until the victory V Swindon, we'd had one win out of 23 home games in all competitions.
There's reasons behind why he wasn't sacked well before this "record" was established.
He also got a one year contract extension and a pay rise on the back of this failure. Oh my, was RAFC in a mess at that time. Hopefully CCFC's owners will be more diligent than the mercenary controller we had at the time. |

Splendid. We can work all this out between fellow supporters and find a way forward that can last and be sustainable for future generations - the very ethos of the Ogden family investment. It might not be easy, but we'll get there in the best interests of RAFC.
No need for the factions and lack of accountability that (with bad owners) killed bury and made their fanbase a laughing stock. No need for coffins, handcuffs and drainpipes here!

Some very wise and considered observations in there. The club directors and McNulty in particular should give the views offered some serious credence. For them to ignore this podcast would be, without doubt, foolish.
Listen to your customers. They seem to have a better handle of on field events than those responsible. |

Our own loss. If it ain't broke, Jim'll break it. Ad nauseum.
Fair play to the BIFFO's for doing the business when our manager blatantly can't.
One wonders if the hooligan tendencies of too many of their fanbase will cost them in points when they get to League 2? It should have on several occasions in the NL.
Commiserations to Southend's fans who have put up one hell of a fight to save their club over many years and near death experiences. And their team who deservedly spanked us when Jim broke up a successful formula. |

The Dale Trust is more than likely going to be the owner of the "Golden Share" when all the legals go through. Therefore, it is very important that Dale Trust is a viable organisation aside of other things going on that it can no doubt contribute towards. IMHO a connection in the boardroom of excellent owners will do no harm.
Remember, we had genuine, trustworthy custodians running the club for decades. In its early days, Dale Trust had no interest in a place on the board as members knew there were good people running the club. Roger (to name but one) ended all that. Never again. We have genuine custodians in charge again, but must ALWAYS remain vigilant in the light of past experience. Ownership of the Golden Share is our insurance. Dale Trust has to continue for that reason alone. |
