    they are running a special on the Bolton/Bury scenario... worth listening to. Some interesting points coming out. I hope they get a chance to survive. I remember when we went into admin and came closer than many think to being liquidated. I was a bucket collector among other things to try and help us survive.... it was heart breaking. So to those who are saying they hope they both go down the tubes , I say that there for the grace of God goes I. But sadly I can see there being a kinda example being made by putting one of them to the sword. The real criminal here is SKY TV.

    Disagree, nobody forced these clubs to spend beyond their means. Poor business decisions nothing else.

    People still wanting our board to do the same as well.

    Listening to a news item on the Eddie Davies Bolton ownership on the radio and they said how much he'd subbed the club during his time and after - I totalled it at nearly quarter of a billion pounds. If that's true, how was it ever going to end well for a club basically the size of Barnsley in the post 1980s era?
