    EFL regulation 12.2 is absolutely clear that it is always a reduction in the number of clubs to be relegated, rather than extra promotion spots. However, I have also seen comments recently, attributed to the EFL, that suggest they may promote an extra club. It may be the media getting the wrong end of the stick, but I would put nothing past the EFL.

    I know who my moneys on there to tell the truth and it isn't Steve Dale. Just a quick look through Dale's business history tells you everything you need to know about this conman.

    The Football League have a lot to answer for FPP my arse, it has been well documented on here and in the past on C&B that the owner could not carry on signing expensive players it would ultimately wreck the club.

    Different owner, he bought it for a pound, and thought he could re-finance through a CVA, then flog it on, basically a chancer

    My mistake, I thought it was the guy who financed the club and the big money signings through his own finance company :blush:.

    He has being having a go at the EFL because they won’t cancel their debts. He brought the club for a pound but purchased some debts as well

    Three deadlines for Bury's owner, Steve Dale, to produce the relevant paperwork (re funding) this week. If he fails to do so, then:
    1. Today - Next Saturday's match against Tranmere will be suspended;
    2. Wednesday - the currently suspended League Cup match, against Sheffield Wednesday, will be referred to the competition's management committee (effectively they will be thrown out of the competition).
    3. Friday - Bury will be thrown out of the Football League.
    Announcements, regarding the above, may or may not occur on the same day as the respective deadline.

    Many Bury fans (and others) are 'alleging' that Steve Dale can make a big profit by letting the Football Club go under and selling the ground for housing development.

    The area is ‘mixed’ at best. So it isn’t in one of the more affluent areas of the town. Having said that Bury is seen as more desirable, than many of the other Manchester satellite towns. I would have thought that he would struggle to get planning permission, if the club folded. However Bury have, under previous owners talked about relocating! https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bury-fc-confirm-want-move-12096760

    If you go to Bury's home page there are only about 6 players left in the first team.

    Dawson,Danns and Bunn should be on Bowyer's radar.

    Bury fans should register Gigg Lane as an asset of community value if they haven't already. It recalls a painful memory from the past. My Dad used to take us occasionally to see Chelmsford City. In the days when you had to seek election to the league despite winning the Southern League as it was then, the chairman actively campaigned amongst football league chairmen not to vote for us. Wimbledon got elected to the league instead and he promptly sold the ground for housing. Despicable. I am sure this was Dale's sole purpose in buying the club for £1 and why he has not been paying wages. He is a crook.

    Edit: Just checked and Gigg Lane is registered. He will struggle for planning permission in the short term. The supporters would need to find the money to buy it though, not too easy.

    This is the published details, ‘The combined cash at bank value for all businesses where STEVEN holds a current appointment equals £2k, a combined total current assets value of £1.5m with a total current liabilities of £7.5m and a total current net worth of £2m. Roles associated with Mr Steven Derek Dale within the recorded businesses include: Director’ https://companycheck.co.uk/director/918430351/MR-STEVEN-DEREK-DALE/summary
    He is a 63 year old, who apparently has ‘health issues’. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/bury-owner-steve-dale-says-16747461
    Consequently he may not be fit to enter into a time consuming and very lengthy process, which would need to elapse, before any housing development could proceed on the Gigg Lane site. Would/could he realise a substantial profit in his lifetime?

    I assume you're referring to Jim Bairstow. He had previous as he'd owned Brentwood, pumped some cash in (by way of a loan), then when they weren't promoted to the Southern League, pulled the plug and sold the ground for housing.
    Back n those days when WHU were away I used to go to Romford, our big games were always against Chelmsford.
    Up the Boro !
