They claim they were never more than a month in arrears in the last two and a half years.
What they don't say, is how much they've borrowed in that time, to remain so close to the financial precipice. |  |

IF we beat Bradford (v unlikely on current form) we will receive £96k in prize money and then a sell out crowd for the Hull game. Fingers and toes crossed!! |  | | |

Ha, think they mean postponements.
Of which they have had, erm, ONE! (v Barnsley on Boxing Day).
They also had the unexpected bonus of a third round FA Cup tie and the prize money for beating Dale which they didn't know about at the end of November.
More smoke, mirrors and complete bunkum. |  |

Obviously not the ideal situation to be in, and many Bury fans feel like the club is on a knife edge at times.
It's a double edged sword, in theory you speculate to accumulate or risk for reward etc...
Fans obviously like these big name signings playing for us (not that they are making much difference on the field anyway!) but at the same time these players don't come cheap, as a result we are put in a great(er) financial risk.
What can I do though? We are shite at the moment so it's even worse considering the money spent. But fans are inherently fickle, winning games and no one will complain. When it all goes tits up though people will immediately start pointing fingers.
You may disagree with me but if roles were reversed, would Dale fans not be "enjoying the ride" too? And would you expect the Bury messageboard to be littered with threads about Rochdale? [Post edited 17 Jan 2016 18:38]

No we wouldn't be enjoying the ride. Time and again we stress we prefer to have a club that only spends what it can afford. We'd like to maximise this by raising crowds and subsequently income.
Any argument about what threads should/shouldn't be on a messageboard are rendered pointless if you a) notice said threads, b) post on them. | |

End of the day it is a nothing story from December that has only just caught the eye of the media. We have paid this bill and next months in advance.
For what it's worth, even at our lowest ebb we have almost always been above Dale and have always had better crowds. So even if it does go tits up Dale fans won't really be able to laugh. | | | |

It's nothing of the kind.
It was a 'live case' as late as last Friday, or it wouldn't have been listed in Friday's gazette for a hearing in February. If it had been settled before Friday, it would have been withdrawn from publication.
Any business that so consistently fails to pay its' dues on time will only end up going one way. So, enjoy the ride. While it lasts. | |

Most Dale fans will agree with most of your points. However unlike the Bury board, under Mr Day, our board won't spend money we haven't got and we never have. If that means being in a lower division that's what Dale fans accept. The alternative is no football club. We have seen what happened to Stockport County who got promoted at our expense and look where they are now
Mr Day certainly talks a good game and may be the finest businessman around - but eventually bills and loans have to be repaid and the number of recent CCJ's at Gigg seems to indicate he will pay people when he feels like it - or when he is forced to in court. You don't need to be a finanical genius to see he will have to continue putting in a lot more money in or the club will go bust. FA Cup runs and selling promissing youth players will not happen every season
Nothing wrong in being ambitious but with the average wage bill in the Championship around 14 million pounds for Dale, Bury or Oldham (on crowds of under 5000) to be in the Championship would be a recipe for financial disaster as there is no way they can compete - as seen by recently promoted sides | | | |
| Giggle Lane on 19:44 - Jan 17 with 7187 views | dalestats |
The number of ‘smaller’ clubs (who Dale used to play regularly) who have chased the golden goose that is more money from Sky and won is miniscule.
Bournemouth with the help of their billionaire owner.
The number of clubs who have failed abysmally whether quickly or over a great deal of time is a great deal larger. Look at Stockport as mentioned, Hereford who bought a promotion through loans and then fell apart. The odds are for bury’s method is not great.
Saying that Yeovil, did it the correct way and promotion to the Championship has proven to be a disaster for them. So keep at it bury because the one guaranteed thing is that whether within 3months, 3 years or 13 years this method will come back to haunt you. | |

“Dale fans won’t be able to laugh”
I’d wet myself with laughter if you go bust and end up like Hereford United or Scarborough.

In the modern era, since the 2000s, haven't Dale have finished ahead of bury more times than not? I am not too sure about the crowds, but even if that's the case, position is more important. |  |

Last ten seasons from here:
http://european-football-statistics.co.uk/england.htm
Crowds: Equal, five seasons each for highest average.
Position: Dale finished higher in seven of the ten seasons.
Not that anyone really cares, buts stats are stats. | |
