Our neighbours..........

Very sad state of affairs.

A situation we only know too well.

Hopefully everything get's sorted.
 
very sad state of affairs but maybe the board have been paying wages beyond their means, a footy.com. blog reports that in april 2018 bury players were on an av. weekly wage of £2,400,

seems the above is true and the wages being nearly double near neighbour rochdale. all fans want success, but if they realised the possible cost of last seasons i doubt anyone would have wanted it.
 
The link has been updated since I posted it.....

Talking about our game.......... :(


"In addition, the EFL board, if not in possession of the necessary evidence by 12:00 on Friday, 2 August, will make a determination as to whether to suspend Bury's away fixture at Accrington Stanley."

thanks for tonight lads I had a great time and so did the fans that I was sat with at the front of the clayton. Nice to meet Rob at the Oaklea and were made welcome by all. By the way, the fans in the red and white stripped shirts were Bury fans, thats our new away kit and I got asked twice if I was a sunderland fan? LOL!!!

Thought it was great when you scored your second your player ran to the fans but actually ended up coming right up to about 10 Bury fans with us who gave him a great response I must add.

Anyway Id definately come back again if Bury werent playing. Good luck for the future and the pleasure was ours!!!

Remembered this and it seems like last week......
 
Like all of us, I'm hoping that the situation with Bolton and Bury is sorted out to the satisfaction of their fans.

I was surprised to read this in the Guardian:

If that does happen, the EFL board will then meet to review Bury’s overall situation and a possible expulsion from the league is among the options it could then consider. If that were to happen, the EFL clarified that League One would be played with 23 rather than 24 clubs and next season an extra club would be promoted from League Two.

I would have thought it would have been the other way round, with one fewer side being relegated from League One.

That would be sensible but dont forget,as well as useless the E.F.L. is stupid.
 
The EFL has now suspended our first home game due to Bury not being able to show that their finances have been sorted sufficiently to pay off creditors etc. The game will be re-arranged for a later date (assuming the club survive)
 
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 !
 
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.....................
