Terrible news, had everything crossed it would go ahead - looking grim for Bury, heartbreaking for their fans

From an informed ( well he tells me that he is !) Bury supporter, things on the executive side of the Club are really much worse than is currently being reported and are likely to deteriorate even further !.
Now if that is so then for everyone there the future must seem not only bleak, but also so heart-rending for everyone who has any affiliation with the Club

From the sidelines I can, remembering the good times watching games at Gigg Lane,
And less so when sitting in a Railway carriage at Bury Station when the footbridge there collapsed on top of us !, only watch again and hope that survival can be achieved and ensured for our friends at their ancient and proud Football Club.

ON BURY !.. ON TO SURVIVAL AND GREATER THINGS !

Great post my friend

Feeling really concerned and sorry for Bury and their fans, but also concerned that losing that game (surely a certain sellout) will be a kick in the financial coffers for us, coming after three months without any income to speak of.

Would have been a massive blow years ago, but things are better these days

Let us hope that 10 years down the line, Bury can say the same.....................

OSC have just posted on Facebook that next Saturday there will be a game between Stanley fans & Bury fans (12.30 kick off - venue to be confirmed).
Then after the game, from 3pm there's a barbecue, live band & disco behind the Clayton End - all proceeds to go to the Bury fans to help with their fight
Great gesture, well done to the organisers

Dont understand why it cannot? if had been Bury match it would have been.

Would imagine there is a massive difference between a professional game and a bit of a kickabout (not trying to run anybody/anything down, but that is what it is essentially)

We will have to wait and see, no matter where it is played, it is a great idea

Please post it on any ither forums you go on as well, solidarity between fans etc

The most ludicrous thing i’ve heard, if I heard it right, about Bury’s plight is that EFL, in its wisdom, has suggested that if Bury are thrown out (god forbid) then League 1 will only have 23 teams, but at the season’s end 4 will still be relegated and an extra club will be promoted for next season from League 2 (and presumably so on down the pyramids).
So the team who finishes 20th in L1, and would have escaped the drop normally, will be relegated, and some lucky club from L2 will get promoted.
Why would the EFL think it fair to punish a totally unconnected L1 club for Bury’s problems?
If that is a serious suggestion, then the EFL are bigger p*** artists than the sweet FA.

The E.F.L. is totally useless no idea at all imho.

Are there any details yet about the Stanley Fans v Bury Fans charity match intended for Saturday at 12.30pm?
Re; location, admission prices, other activities on the day etc.
