I'm not trying to be clever with you as I post and read MM most days and respect your opinion, so I assume back then that we were allowed to play in a stadium that was unfit , with no facilities and porto cabins for changing rooms?
Yes you would hope the rules were different back then (I'm pretty sure they were) and that the EFL has learned from previous situations and tightened things up. They may have done that but they still seem incredibly reluctant to enforce their rules despite them being routinely flouted.
The problems at Bolton and Bury are dragging on from last season and both clubs should have been given deadlines to get things sorted out before this new season started.
Sentiment shouldn't come into it. If they can't meet the criteria that has been set and operate within the rules they should be kicked out.
That should apply to all clubs including ours.
