    Let's face it - payday lending in Bolton is probably a boom industry...   Town is a desperate shithole, you know it, I know it, we all know it. But BWFC, for all their faults, are one source of prid

Fuckin booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

There's 52 people going don't you know.

 

I presume it's half term then.

Do the permanently unemployable know what that even means?

Still, at least the national media won't be there to film the mongfest....

 

...oh

Term, brain cell, it's half of something.

 

The deal is done and there's no going back. People need to deal with it - just as the club will have to deal with the inevitable bad news stories that will come out during the next couple of years.

 

"BWFC took my house!"

 

"BWFC forced me to the food bank!"

 

Etc etc.

We need to get something dead clever like the green & gold campaign.

That looked really effective, especially sported with a replica shirt.

We're going one better and having an actual gold campaign. Cash4Gold new shorts sponsors. ITK.

Wont the horses spoil the turf??

I shan't be watching Bolton again until they stop profiteering from selling alcohol as its against my religious values.

No, we don't need to 'deal with it'.

Those of us who've had enough of this shit - and there are many thousands going off the response I've seen so far - need to get organised. Make it clear we're not having it - it's our club and Gartside and his cronies can get to fuck.

The money he and they have taken out of BWFC over the past 5 years - whilst simultaneously running up a debt of 130 million - could pay for this seedy little business deal 50 times over. The likes of Allan Duckworth, for example, who every year saw fit to pay himself half a million quick quid, whilst presiding over a failing 'business'. Where's he now?

And to add insult to considerable injury, the same parasites want us - the very people who've kept the club going through its darkest hours - to find the money for Nat's statue. Something which should have been erected when the great man was alive to see it... and which a month of Zat Knight's wages would pay for anyway!

Wake up!

COYW!

It's Eddie Davies's

How about FC Wanderers - Get Anewman in goal and offer Bury £50 a week to play on their ground

 

We would shoot up them divisions quicker than the FC Scum team

If they rejected the deal and the thousands of bellends on Facebook got wind of it they would protest that the club should have got the best deal. The one thing that this whole episode has confirmed is I am really starting to struggle to wan to be associated with a club who is followed by such fucking idiots.

P.S. Am I right in thinking Nat didn't want a statue whilst he was still alive?

Nat didn't want a statue, either

But carry on with your rant

I thought you'd at least get facts right

I'm going to go and find some stairs

Not decided who's going down yet though

 

Maybe Mr Quick

 

Maybe Mr Quid

 

Who knows

 

Ooh I'm so angry

The illiterate mongpigs are going to protest outside a tyre and exhaust place on Manchester Road tomorrow.

So the fucking idiots are the fans who pay their hard earned over a lifetime and raise some legitimate questions, rather than those who got us into this 130 million pound mess in the first place. Good to know.

 

As for Nat not wanting a statue, yeah, you're right, he never came out and backed the idea - that wasn't his style. Neither was it Tom Finney's, or Stanley Matthews', or countless others...but their clubs managed to find a fitting way of honouring their legends. We supposedly named a stand after him - except you'd never notice...all ticketing etc says East stand.

 

If you want to be run by a bunch of cunts (and yes Eddie Davies does own it - but only because it's something worth owning ie something which thousands of people feel passionately about and cough up hundreds of pounds a year for the privilege) then fine... but plenty more don't want to be.

Yes, we do need to 'deal with it'. The contract is signed, the club can't get out of it without incurring some (I would imagine quite substantial) penalty. I'm not happy with the company or the amount we're getting but it's irrelevant now as there's no chance in hell of it being undone.

 

The issue for me is that the fans have known about this for a good while before it was signed/announced and a lot made it perfectly clear they were unhappy with it but the club went ahead and signed it anyway (after a week delay to see whether QQ were implicated in that bloke setting himself on fire)

You don't know whether this is true or not.

 

You can only be subjective when you deal with facts.

 

Opinion and hearsay aren't the grounds for legitimate complaint.

That wasn't my complaint, it was an aside

 

The club must have known damn well this would divide the fans and get us all sorts of unwanted media attention as payday loan companies are the current bogeyman. WIth that in mind, it's a spectacularly bad decision. Demanding it be undone is pointless now but it gives an indication of how shortsighted those running the club can be

So if that's your issue why don't you make your feelings known?

Of course this can be undone. As I said, the money is peanuts anyway - even in our hard up state we're paying average players this amount in a couple of months!

If several thousand fans vow not to buy a shirt and other merchandise and several hundred stop going altogether - and reading the comments and speaking to lots of people that's not an exaggeration - then they've lost much more than this deal brings in anyway. Plus all the negative publicity it's generated.

To some on here this seems like a massive over-reaction, except it's not just this... this is symptomatic of so much that's wrong in our game that we all moan about: changed kick off times, ticket prices that take the piss, players' wages that doubly take the piss... all in the biggest recession in anyone's lifetime.

The fact that a company which translates as 'fast buck' is now on our shirts makes the point better than a thousand posts.
