bolton v donny

If you are paying £50 to see City, you aren't going to be able to pay £20 to see Stockport / Oldham, or visa versa with Bury / Utd. The small team loses out, even though they aren't getting the money from Sky / advertisers / sponsors / Premier League money, they still have overheads & a team to field. Tranmere felt it as well with the Liverpool clubs, who used to watch them on a Friday night.

 

Think Bury will fold soon, is the deadline for them the 23rd August? Steve Dale has well and truly ****** them over, but the EFL cannot keep postponing their games. I do feel sorry for their fans though.

The situation with Bolton is bordering on the ridiculous now. They should never have been allowed to start the season.
I understand football ventures (the preferred bidder for the football club) made it clear within their business plan that they also wanted the Bolton Whites Hotel as part of any deal. it now turns out that football ventures are not the preferred bidder for the hotel which brings their bid into question. Are they going to pull out of the deal for the football club if they don't get the hotel? Why did their deal rely so heavily on getting the hotel?
The administrators are duty bound to accept the optimum deal for the creditors. I would say football ventures don't have the money and are possibly looking at a way out knowing they are unlikely to get the hotel. Either way I don't think it will be resolved any time soon.

 

And all the EFL do is wet themselves and hope it all resolves itself.
Meanwhile the rest of the teams in the first division are left counting the cost. Cancelled games, equals massive lost of revenue, who is acting for the other teams?.
I'm afraid the selfish nature of the Boltons etc, as with any addiction (greed in this case), effects even more people round them.

 

I really dislike Sunderland.

But I feel sorry for them because they're supposed to be at home to Bolton on Boxing Day. The way things are going there'll be no game, and they'll lose out on the revenue from a crowd of at least 40,000.
