If we cast our eyes 8 miles south-east we can see the floodlights at Manchester City, 8 miles to the south west and we can see the lights at Old Trafford, so I think it's fair to say that it's not easy to attract people to Gigg Lane don't you?

You and your fellow supporters - and indeed us long suffering Gulls fans and fans of other clubs like ours - are the real football supporters. Not Premier League Fantasy stuff. We have to have better eyesight than you lot to see any Premier floodlights. Our nearest Premier side is Southampton which is about 120 miles away ..... Argyle fans have been saying for about 300 years that they are potentially a Premier league side. If you promise to get the double over them, we'll promise to beat Rochdale in the Cup - okay ?

I say 'Burry' and 'Shrowsbury' .. I've got a Leeds accent. What is correct?

Probably not the Leeds accent :Oops:

It would appear that the west side of Yorkshire like Leeds and Huddersfield whom are closest to Lancashire say 'BURRY' but people like myself from North / South Yorkshire say 'BERRY' on the whole.

I mean it's not as if us having the correct pronounciation will help us on the pitch but i'm right anyway. :na:

It is also very interesting how you have mentioned Shrewsbury Gaz because I too say 'SHROWS' not 'SHREW' but for the 'bury' part of it I actually say 'BURRY' and not 'BERRY'.

So I say, SHROWSBURRY.

Which is odd because Bury to me is BERRY on it's own.

Also GLASTONBURY to me is GLASTONBERRY not GLASTONBURRY! sh*t!!!!!!!!!!! WTF IS GOING ON HERE?!!

All in all it's bloody weird and I've given myself a headache now.

i think you will find, that both are pronounced "sh*thouse".

A call to the club on 0871 221 1885 3 should tell you if it applys to Gulls fans or not.

Student and the great unwashed get in cheap, but no mention of a discount for Her Majesty's fighting men. I know this is going to sound VERY Daily Wail, but does anyone else think that's a bit off.

Not a Bury problem, of course, no suggestion of that kind, just something which occurred to me as I was reading this thread.

Matt.

I'm quite pleased to be paying a bit less than what I believe the price all seats in league 2 should be.

Well done Bury!

I will buy a programme and maybe light refreshments too now.

How DARE you call me and Wivel the great unwashed ...... !!

I was under the impression that was the appropriate collective for two curmudgeonly Torquay fans?

Now you're calling us bad tempered !! BA*TARD !!!! At our age, we've earned the right to be grumpy :na:

So what sort of numbers are we expecting to get up there tomorrow? I reckon 120 ish?

200ish I reckon. We had 72 of us there on a Tuesday night before so hopefully get around that for a Saturday match.
