Bury Town 22:19 - Feb 18 with 6216 views | FrimleyBlue | Absolutely no idea how much of a positive effect this partnership would have but its a bit odd for nodge to partner with them over town isn't it? I guess open question to the forum.. is this a missed opportunity as such or not really something that town need to bother with. |  |

Bury Town on 22:49 - Feb 18 with 5030 views | TresBonne | Town have had a running partnership with them & Culford School for a number of years and I don't think it's achieved a great deal, except we signed Ben Haddoch and often send a lot of our youth on loan there for 1-3 months. I'm not sure if that partnership is still going after this, but I wouldn't imagine it affects a great deal even if it's now severed. |  | |  |

I think you'll find there's a tie in between Spurs and Culford School. Slightly ironic as when I was there we weren't allowed to play soccer! Ahhh those were the days. |  |

You're right, they switched over to partner with Spurs not long ago didn't they. I reckon that probably had a knock on effect re. Bury T. |  | |  |

Personally I take it as a total travesty that Culford are with Spurs, but even worse,, a hotbed of previous top players (Milts, Pope - ok so he didn't choose Town, and many local to Bury: R Wright, Scowy) is now in Sc*m hands. It feels like an annexation. |  |

I don't think it lasted very long if ti got up and running at all. Alan Lee was the instigator and I think he left the academy before it got set up. |  | |  |

I think anyone who has kids playing football in Suffolk will know we are still light years behind - it's just about ok in Ipswich but outside that it's still all Norwich. Norwich come looking for the best kids, whereas at Ipswich they still expect you to find them |  |

Joe, you've always got the news behind the academy scene, how much are we pushing to get the cat 1 going and bridging that gap. We've heard the noises but only in the past year of course and MA wasn't really that fussed about it when he came in. Are we actually trying or is it just words to keep the fans happy and they aren't really doing much to change things. |  |

Not quite, using their badge, their flag etc, surely they knew about it and should have squashed the idea. The community side might not care, but Bury Town have earned alot of money from town fans and town fans who own companies.. they will lose many of these now. And for non league clubs every penny helps. |  |

I'd say there is a lot to see. They used a Bury Town scarf in the promotion so someone must have known and serious words need to be had. Do they have a connection with the Community team? Lots of town fans would watch Bury when Ipswich are not playing, me for one, but if there is any connection with the scum then they won't have a penny of my money. Bury FC need to answer the point about their scarf in the publicity |  | |  |

Yeah its a load of bullox at frimley, we were 1 club with a senior side, we then had a ressies and an u18 side. However, seperate to that there was a frimley boys and girls group, of all ages of football upto and including u18s. Yes they were a separate affiliation, different name, etc etc However, they started using our facilities for games, and we became partners whilst mainaining their seperate affiliation, main reason being is they got more FA funding for being a seperate entity. Even their code of conducts use the Club Badge https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/files.pitchero.com%2Fclubs%2F87699%2F5eNmfQ1T [Post edited 20 Feb 12:53]

Indeed a clear connection and seems people are not communicating in the club. It's not a good look at all |  | |  |

Bury Town on 13:11 - Feb 20 with 2624 views | SaffronWaldenBlues | I'd be more worried about Spurs moving heavily into this region, than Norwich, we have always competed with Norwich for good young players and for the last 15 years they had the upper hand in this regard, but we occupy the same space, however, Spurs is setting up partnerships here and their appeal (and resources) are much better than Norwich. |  |

Bury Town on 13:24 - Feb 20 with 2565 views | BLUEBEAT | It is something Mark Ashton has to address. He has made a big point about this but doesn’t seem to have made any positive steps. At least Bury Town have responded, albeit in an ill thought out attempt to deflect. No noise from ITFC. Obviously not that bothered after all… I wonder if the local press will ask for comment? probably not. |  |

It's nowt to do with the link up really, nobody would really mind if it was any other club, and we know Town will always struggle against other clubs to get youth players, we know Norwich have been better at this than us for years. It's the principle that alot of Town fans would support Bury directly in attendance, or indirectly with cash because they're local and Suffolk and we're linked. A club boasting of its affiliation to our rivals, wrecks that link and now those Town fans will choose to support other clubs like Felixstowe & Walton instead. |  | |  |
