The debt might be some sort of tax dodge in India. "Oh I am sorry, we cannot pay the £300m income/corporate tax, we have this foreign asset that is £180m in debt and we have to pay millions to keep it going." 

As you can guess I'm not an expert in tax laws, but I can imagine there is some use in keeping Rovers despite the cost.

6,900 Bolton fans present and that was for an opening home game with a real novelty factor and loads of publicity.

I imagine well over half of their regular season ticket holders didn’t bother buying a ticket. 

 

As I’ve said before, pathetic fans.

So why are they boycotting anyway? Anderson's gone and Bassini is the one getting in the way of the Football Ventures takeover. Obviously attendances aren't likely to rise after relegation but who's left at the club to aim their ire at?

Manager Phil Parkinson (who seems to have focusing on team for most part and certainly they have needed focus there) has publicly urged Bassini to desist and leave the club alone. I've seen nothing about Bassini having the nerve to show up at the game even though he said he would (another lie) but perhaps the police banned him.

I don’t think there’s any talk of a boycott. On their forums it’s more about Churchilllian speeches about ‘now is the time your support counts’ and such like.

Didn’t show it today then?

When will they get that further points deduction for not fulfilling that fixture last year?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh I forgot, they’re not poor old Bury are they.

Tickets were only on sale on Thursday for a matter of hours only.

To be honest Stu I wouldn’t feel half as strongly about it if it weren’t for what was happening to Bury. It’s just not fair. 

Bury is continually overspending this is now there 3rd insolvency event from 2002.

Theyve overspent under Stewart day mortgaging gigg lane, social clubs to ripping punters of 9995k for parking spaces at the ground. Bury ran up a debt of 13 million in five years paying players 7 and 9 k a week in league one. It was a giant Ponzi scheme which the SFO are investigating especially the trails of bury, mederco, CBF, cashforassets. Etc

Mederco (days company) now has 3 sets of administrators on the case. They’ve sunk p2p company lendy for 27 million. Built 3 blocks of student apartments and each failed a fire survey for occupancy now meaning the tenants have been evicted this week.

Not a great result for Bassini in court today. 

I've read that the Bury owner Steve Dale has terminal leukaemia. It might be in remission at the moment but how do you threaten someone who's suffered severe illness that can return at any time. Maybe I watch Breaking Bad too much but what's more dangerous than someone who may have nothing to lose? Though I doubt anyone is going to actually kill him over his actions.
