Claims supporters have got hold of the name, ground and history

This is likely to get very amusing

They can hardly afford to split the support

get a lot more than a 1k without doubt to start with 

Averaged 1,327 last season so you'd think if they played at Gigg Lane its got to be more than that.

There's still a huge split between a lot of FC & AFC fans, with threats and abuse all over social media.  A merger is the only realistic way forward but there'll be a lot of bitterness to get over.

It was that sort of thing that I feared would happen if the unthinkable had happened and we were forced down that road

If we'd gone under, I'd have had no interest in any phoenix.

That'd just be me done with football.

I think this is what I was leaning towards 

I think it will be years before they get any we’re back even if they got. 2k a week that’s fuck all when you look at he likes of Wrexham and still couldn’t get up last season they will hit a non league level and float about

Why am I not surprised by this

With poor old Radcliffe Borough stuck in the middle

Jeez, what is wrong with these people ? (Yeah, I know, but apart from that).

Yeh there’s a huge amount of dislike between the 2. You’d think they would both see they struggled to support one club between them all a couple of years ago 

one lot has a ground 

the other has a team and league position

The club they purport to be fans of should be demoted from the league, or shut down.

They already have been! From what I can gather it's supporters of Bury FC (aka F*ck the Phoenix) who caused the trouble and are responsible for threats on social media etc.  They're urging for a No vote to the merger.  They own Gigg Lane but have no team and won't get 450K promised by the Council if they vote No.

The other lot, AFC, have a team that's thriving in the NW Counties and if merged could play at Gigg and have a reasonable attempt at getting back into the league.  All the antagonism they've faced from the other lot, I imagine may lead to many of them now voting No too.
