Read Leighanne, read and learn. This is a genuine review. Gordon is in overdrive... Some fantastically funny sound bites
Pre-season starts in earnest with visit to Stainton Park
It’s the time of the year when expectations amongst many are high, when hopes are raised and when supporters flock to Stainton Park to see a new look team, only this time — it’s different in so many ways.
Season ticket sales have gone through the roof, the positivity and that good feeling coming from Gigg Lane is nothing but good. The new look Shakers will be there for all to see with so many new faces, so many trialists and new faces within the Stainton Park board room to top it all off.
The revolution moves to the next step as Kevin Blackwell puts his side out for their first real test. Pre-season is two weeks old now, fitness levels are coming but there’s no better test than a good competitive game — and we know from previous years, that a competitive game is just what the lads will get.
For two players, the very fact they are kicking a ball again will be more than enough positives for their own reasons. Adam Lockwood and Shane Byrne will be involved after overcoming injury and illness over the last season and summer.
Five new faces will be on show, a new look side and shape. Gareth Roberts, Nathan Cameron, Andy Procter, Greg McDermott and Ashley Grimes will be joined by Euan Holden & Tom Soares — both well-known and now both with proper long term contracts.
Add to that the continental flair from French, Dutch and Belgian trialists — plus the odd German, Italian and a Brazilian — plus a handful of English lads — all on trial, all looking for a club and all keen to impress Kevin Blackwell.
This isn’t the Bury FC that took to the field 12 months ago — this is the NEW Bury FC, smarter, fitter, stronger and above all — still alive.
The result means nothing to Kevin Blackwell or his staff. It’s about getting minutes in, getting time on the pitch, bonding as a team and getting to know each other. They can live in each other’s pockets all they want — time in the team is a valuable lesson for all concerned.
Has the Shakers revolution stalled? It’s hardly got going yet, but the shake-up has begun. It’s rolling forward, at a fast rate of knots. Get it right off the field — it will be right on the field.
Expectation from fans is high — but the expectation from everyone at the club is higher and better.
Yes we are obsessed. Obsessed with the amusement you lot provide.

Oh, and this whole bit:

Gordon is a man caught up in the bullsh!t frenzy, which is not good when you're the media officer. Believing the hype like a toddler on tartrazine. If him and Comical Jonbury got together? Well. Move over Morecambe and Wise, is all that needs to be said.

At the age of 23, although still young for a keeper you would have expected him to have played at least one first team game for a club whether that be on loan or for his parent club. Lainton's never played one in his life.

Hey, I don't sign the cheques... I just laugh at those who do.
If you did at least they'd have a squad full of players from another country to match their boasts.... even if they would all be arriving down the M6/A1 rather than at Manchester Airport.

Oh come now, a smattering of Scots at best. I'm still an Englishman Every team needs a few nutters.
Is this the same Gordon who signed the document that gave Stewart Day first dibs on the land at giggle lane on that PDF legal document that went round earlier this season?
Yep. It is. bury propaganda officer extraordinaire. And the mongs swallow it hook line and sinker.
