Hi all-lifelong Shaker (55) here. We are in a bit of a pickle, at Gigg Lane with our previous owner vastly over-spending and our new one proving 'difficult' to say the least. Suffice to say we have a winding up order deferred for 6 weeks today and hopefully will have a successful sale of the club in that period. Some time ago though there we did start a crowd funding appeal-link below! I've been watching Bury all my days, and have seen Bury play every club competitively, apart from Spurs, Arsenal, Aston Villa, West Ham, Derby and possibly Leeds (cup match early 70's, can't recall for the life of me if I went). We did have a two year spell in the 2nd tier, where we got to see a lot of sides we wouldn't usually play against including yourselves and I have seen Bury both at your old and new grounds and Gigg Lane. The last league encounters being 2002! If you can spread the word about our plight, or even help us out £5/£10's whatever it would be greatly appreciated. Link below and please note there is a 10% surcharge on any donations. www.gofundme.com/save-bury-football-clubThanks for your time. Phil.

I have an associate who is a Bury supporter who has been telling me a fair bit about this story. It's good for you that a local MP is involved, along with the Accrington Stanley chairman (who by my last conversation was trying to get involved), who has made some very sensible comments about your situation and also the fit and proper persons test.
Good luck but I fear for you. On the outside, I don't know how you settle this debt even with new owners and make yourselves competitive. Losing Ryan Lowe to Plymouth was a bitter blow too.
All the best.

The way that your owners have treated management and players is quite frankly disgusting. There was no effort to keep Ryan or Ste, who I know had really worked hard to get the team promoted. You'll never know what went on there and it's probably better that you don't. I hope you get some funding, as I came to watch a few games last season and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Good luck.

My local club, try and get down to Gigg Lane 4/5 times a season with the kids it's a decent club.
Shame what's going on, I hope they get through it.......

I am sure we are in the record books somewhere along the way due to Bury, most cup replays or similar
Best of luck

Some of the Bury fans I know are now making provisions for a new club starting again from the bottom of the non-league pyramid, they fear the worst......

Like any other business that goes under , football is no different Football is not like any other business. It's very different. That's the point. Clubs are part of the historic cultural heritage and an expression of local identity of their communities, in a way which just does not apply to other businesses. This is a call for much stronger regulation of the ownership, business planning and stewardship of those local assets by the FA, which is the governing body of football, and already regulates very strongly in certain areas.

The situation is very worrying, even more so than Bolton, and that's bad enough. But if it happens we will support the fans in starting a new fan-owned Bury, just as the fans of Wimbledon and others have done

This is horrible.
From the league's point of view they have to put the integrity of the competition first.
Expelling Bury can't be far away.
Horrible.

Seen it locally with Northwich Vics, bad owner, loss of ground, ground sharing at Stafford, the fans managed to keep the club alive
Hope Bury survive, but it looks bleak

Bolton aren’t far behind. That’s a club with a good number of premier league seasons and a recent FA Cup Semi Final😊 to its name Makes you wonder where we could be without the Coates family

Too much money stays in the top flight to pay inflated transfer fees and wages...when the bubble bursts... "Fit and proper" tests are clearly not working, or not being implemented properly Sort the above two issues...job done In the meantime teams like Bury and Bolton will probably disappear, and this cannot be right

Do you ( as your first post seemed to imply ) disagree that there needs to be stronger regulation in football to prevent these situations arising ?
