Might soon be time for N.C.F.C. to place that type of advertisement for financial support if Hardy does not sort this sale of the club out P.D.Q.

On the basis that Bury folding could help us, its not a great idea to support them is it :confused:

Of course if someone has the odd £8.5m they probably need, you could just buy Notts instead. Bargain.

Winding up hearing 5th June so maybe 6th June could be a good day to start one!!!

Stopped such donations a long time ago. Its just putting good money after bad. Wouldn't even do it for Notts anymore. It's never ending, one financial mess to another. Its about time some of these clubs did go under. Football in this country needs a wake up call and unfortunately that wont happen until a few clubs go to the wall (one wont be enough).

Much the same as us, Bury have already been 'saved' once. They had a campaign back in the early 2000s to raise funds - you could donate to have your name on a seat. Mind you, mine is probably covered in pigeon **** now, and completely illegible...

Supporters are becoming weary of bailing out clubs nowadays - even their own - and I suspect if Notts get into deep trouble again (assuming they aren't already there of course) that it would be really difficult to raise anything like the £300k that was raised last time.

The cycle of spending too much and then flogging almost bankrupt clubs on to someone else willing to take a punt has to change; some so called big clubs will have to go out of business first though. And who knows what a new model of football ownership might look like.

Thing is, they know it is not going to the “club” but to perpetuate overpaid thieves given overinflated contracts by incapable ego driven club owners.

Clubs need to be run like a real business, nothing wrong with investing, but it has to be done on a sensible basis. Fans just have to accept it.

Right.
I watched a report the other day about a guy in Birmingham who'd lost both legs, was in a wheelchair and was homeless, he was having to sleep behind a garage. He'd been beaten up the previous week and had his wheelchair stolen. The thought of giving money to a football club as an act of charity so that they can pay players (AND THEIR AGENTS) ridiculous wages in the current political climate seems utterly obscene.

I’ve a soft spot fro Bury but I want any donation to be useful. Helping them set up a new club might be the biggest help.

Completely agree.
