The FIFA17-friendly rebranded EFL now has an "Official Home Improvement Partner". Oh fuck off.

The only connection between the two is that football is where I go so I don't have to spend Saturday afternoons doing DIY or in bloody shops for that matter.

I don't know, Jed would have bloody loved this 'In addition, all clubs across the Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two will have access to Wickes’ materials and products for in-house refurbishment projects' just think of the works he could have done with a ready supply of materials, we could have had unlicensed bars everywhere!  Cheesy

Edit - do we have to buy the materials or are they free, we could build a whole new ground from stuff obtained from Wickes'!

Bury have another winding up petition. I heard a Rochdale fan saying last night as well, that they are getting another dodgy high interest loan against their stadium. I don't fully understand how these things work, but it seems a bit dodgy and I know they've got a pretty checkered recent history with this kinda thing.

Must be shit or bust this season for them.

Edit, found this as well which seems to relate to them http://p2pindependentforum.com/thread/6743/football-stadium

Bury signed Ishmael Miller the other day who wouldn't have come cheap. It will all end badly for them.

They never learn. No doubt the buckets will be out soon and a prestigious friendly against Man Utd 1st team will follow.

Again.

You know you're in trouble when David Conn comes sniffing. Things might not be great atm but I'd rather have Lee Power than the likes of Bury's lot.

A good read this....what strikes is how their fans still seem to have faith in the owners, I guess because relatively speaking, things on the pitch are decent for them. Another eye opener is that they still seem to produce accounts.

Bury have been gambling for a few years now with short term high interest loans etc, it was always going to end in tears.

I haven't heard about Rochdale but it could well be.
