To put this into perspective, I did another word search in the impact assessment to find out how many times the word “Bury”, as in the town and the football club, was used. It is quite reasonable to refer to it, but with 11 references to success, nine of which are patently negative and the other two might be, “Bury” appears 17 times. In other words, one page in every four has a reference to Bury Football Club. That is why I say that the impact assessment is a justification for the Bill, because they do not set out to protect success. They instead refer to one of the major problems that the football industry has faced, and which has been tackled. But it is the repetition of one particular case that depresses me.
