“(Bury fan) Sorfleet told me that Bury are determined never to fall into the mire again, that they have to pay their way, work hard to attract more fans locally and not be on the lookout for some rich backer, a chimera which got them so deeply into trouble“
Quote from David Conn’s 2005 book Searching for the Soul of Football.
Excellent book for those who havent read it. Our friends from Meadow Lane also identified as early offenders who went on to make the same mistakes multiple times.
Really highlights how The FA andthe Football League have failed the game and its supporters over so long a period. The financial shenanigins of ex Magpie chairman Dunnett are remarkable....and he was Chairman of the Football League and local Labour MP as well.
