Awful way to run the club, no real sympathy. The fans yes, I suppose I do but really they sit there and watch their club bring ruined (as with dare I say it Bury at the moment?), ride it whilst it is good and then get bleeding hearts when it fails.

The winding-up petition was brought by HM Revenue & Customs, which is thought to be owed £116,000.
Owner Andy Lonsdale had promised to invest £1m in the club, which was expelled from the Football Conference in June after failing to pay creditors.
But he was late to court and the judge was not satisfied there were sufficient funds.
Lonsdale's barristers said they had a statement that the money was in the bank but Mr Lonsdale said he was stuck in traffic and could not get to the court in time.
It was the tenth time he had been ordered to appear at the High Court in London
The winding-up order was issued moments after he was due, at just after 4:30pm.
Herefordshire Council said: "As Hereford United Football Club (1939) Limited is in the process of being wound up and a liquidator will be appointed, this action triggers the council's right as landlord to forfeit the leases.
"The council will now pursue this and seek to gain formal repossession of all three sites leased to the club.
"Once the ground has been secured, the council will consider the appropriate process for procuring a new tenant to ensure the continuation of football."
