The Clarets Trust, of which I am a board member, was involved in a Zoom conversation last night with the CEO of BFC.

Re: How was/is your Football Disciplinary record?

Only 1 yellow card, after playing a variety of positions such as CB for about 12 years.
Should have had a ref when I handled the ball on the line at uni once, but a visiting supporter was ref!
The yellow came about ten years ago, in a teachers' game at the grand old age of 35 or so...unbelievable! :D

Re: Bury: Bringing Football Back (BBC1 11.50PM)

There was some pretty acrimonious feelings from those wishing Bury FC to carry on, as in at Gigg Lane, pay off the owner, towards those starting the AFC Bury club. It got quite unpleasant, from what I can make out. Documentary quite interesting.

That doesn't actually stop the ability to sell it though does it? I thought it just gives a period where the community is the preferred bidder.
