Not looking good for them then. Presumably their fans - and staff and players - are waiting for a miracle.
You not heard? Salford getting to the football league is a wonderful underdog story and has absolutely nothing to do with having **** loads of money pumped in.
Bury’s Sky Bet League One game against Gillingham this weekend has been suspended, the English Football League has announced. The Shakers, deducted 12 points for entering into a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), have been issued with a notice of withdrawal of membership by the EFL and their first three games of the campaign have already been postponed. “The EFL Board has suspended Bury FC’s fixture with Gillingham on Saturday August 17, 2019 as it has not received the outstanding evidence required by today’s 9am deadline.” The EFL added: “The EFL has made it clear that it cannot continue suspending fixtures indefinitely and the deadline of August 23 for withdrawal of membership remains in place. “However, the EFL remains committed to working with the club to try and find a successful conclusion.” Bury have vowed to fight for survival despite the looming threat of having their 125-year league membership terminated. Bury owner Steve Dale, who replaced Stewart Day in December 2018 after buying the debt-ridden club for £1, revealed on Monday he is ready to sell. The Shakers have received a bid and the senior staff want Dale to sell up. “Due to the agenda with the EFL, my health and recent events at the club I can confirm I am happy to pass the club on to the next custodian. For an agreed consideration and them being the right fit for Bury,” Dale told BBC Radio Manchester. Source; https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/bury-game-against-gillingham-suspended-153435120.html
I think looking at this they have until the 23rd August; https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49330590
Less than 2 weeks. I imagine that, beyond that point, it becomes impossible to reschedule all their fixtures
Nearly us just over a decade ago. Will never forget reading a statement from whatever the conference was called then saying how if we were expelled from FL then they'd be n happy to take us etc. Remember thinking yeah I bet you ****ing would
You bought the club for a quid last year and have taken them to the brink of extinction. Agreed consideration? Have your pound back and **** off, mate.
Nothing happened to them, they play in the national league north. A few old football league teams in there with them; York City, Chester City, Hereford, Southport, Kidderminster, Darlington. It's probably where Bury will end up, if they survive this.
Amazing how much the leagues have changed and the fate of clubs over the decades. I've seen all those teams play apart from Kidderminster, who I think we have never played.
United supporters are supposed to care about FCUoM but I personally don't give a ****. One or two mates got right into it but then I don't live up there anymore so get my fill of 'proper' football from Swansea City. Then they also got into the uber mega fab, you can't believe what you're seeing, premier league land and ruined it.
Technically it's Chester FC, Chester City no longer exist. But yeah most likely, though I'd hope they could get back to the FL with the phoenix club.
