  • Summary

  • In this episode, we hear the emotional stories of Bolton Wanderers and Bury, clubs that have both suffered financial problems over the past ten years.

    Our guests are:
    Yasmin Qureshi MP for Bolton South,
    James Frith MP for Bury North,
    Author and journalist David Conn,
    Martin Parnell from the Bolton Wanderers Supporters Trust,
    Mo Dickson, a member of the heritage committee at Bury AFC,
    and Fair Game CEO Niall Couper.

    David Conn reminds us that the founders of the Football League were concerned that clubs in the big cities would have a financial advantage, so the competition was set up on the principle of shared gate receipts, and that principle was in place for nearly 100 years, up to 1983.

    Follow Fair Game on X (yes, we still call it Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.

    And remember, you can register for the Fair Game Annual Conference 2025, which takes place 28-29 May at AFC Wimbledon.
