Bury FC Statement

Sad and all too familiar news :(

I remember their fund-raising game in 2001 and how they rallied to our cause a few years ago.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Terrible news hope they get the backers they need.:eek:

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Just makes you wonder why all those silly FC United fans who go to Gigg Lane for their home games didn't adopt the Shakers instead. Happen they don't win enough to satisfy their thirst for glory. :rolleyes:

Best of luck to our friends down the road.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

I was sad when I saw that on Sky earlier, I can remember making a small donation when they were in a bad way before, think it was something to do with putting your name on a seat or somat

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Problem is too much t.v money washing around in the premier league, and not enough floating down to where the next young players are being brought on.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

You're right, football mirrors life. The greedy get greedier and the rest can sod off :mad:

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

They are asking for 10x £100k
I hope they find them....
How many Ilyas' can they find?
Thank God our Ilyas did not have to find £1 million!
Although he may have found a way, due to his absolute love of the club!

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Good Luck to the Shakers especially their fans they were at our side in hour of need and there are some Shakers fans coming over to stand alongside us in the Clayton End on Friday Night against Morecambe.

Very Best of Luck to Bury FC and their fight for survival.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

phil and gary neville use to visit Gigg Lane as children, they should ask them to help out.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Home to Oldham Saturday if any ones free????

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

This is terrible news. I sincerely wish Bury FC and its supporters success in its quest for survival.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

And isn't/wasn't their dad a director?
What Bury are looking for is pocket money to Phil & Gary.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

They still do go to Gigg Lane, their Father is club secretary

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

May have a trip down to the Oldham game on Saturday.

Soft spot for the shakers.

Hope they sort it.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

It's Jill, their mother, who is General Manager/Secretary!

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Could be good timing for Phil. Buy the club, install yourself as manager :)

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

he's put his notice in at Everton innit ....

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

One of my fav. away games, watching Stanley at Bury in the 50s. The player I used to love to hate was their half back Gordon Atherton, always tough and dangerous. Best wishes Bury, hope things work out.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Well the bitch whose political policy was built around this idea died this week, its a shame there is no hell or she would be burning now

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Sad news indeed :( All the best Shakers

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

It's a football thread not politics.

Very sad news for bury. Good club with great fans. Hope they can find a solution.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Show some respect. This is off subject and out of order

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Get a life

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Ya Mac but he says he wants to carry on at the top level:rolleyes:

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

one thing we agree on

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Would hope we as supporters and Stanley as a club can do something to help, whatever that might be.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

I can't believe that someone can be so crass & insensitive to post such a comment on a forum devoted to Accrington Stanley.
No matter your political affinity, this has no place on here!
Presumably the mods can ban this cretin, but could they also order a public flogging on Broadway?

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

So when's he start training with us?

He needs to be fully fit for August!!

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

how much money do they lose out on from relegation? (the difference between league 1 and 2?)

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

about £600k I think Davo, before you take into account smaller crowds, matchday revenue, loss of sponsorships etc

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

i thought the crowds went smaller when they went up to league 1?
Is it a psychological thing?
Fans prefer to watch a team challenge in a lower division than struggle in a high division?
We have suffered the same when you compare the attendances in the past few years with the conference winning season

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Including, strangely, the play-off season. No real surge even then. :(

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Best wishes to The Shakers in their fight for survival!:wave:

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Injuries on the pitch has hammered us and nothing seems to have gone our way. So many games we should have won and can not put the ball in the net. I like a few others have said that if BFC go to pot, then we will be adopting Accy as they are our 2nd club anyway.

By all accounts it is looking promising (as of today) we will have a club but we will need to bring in about 15 - 20 players which is a huge gamble because we have already started the clear out. Personally I cannot wait to have a pint in the crown and resume proper footie.

Whether we have a competitive budget and whether Blackwell and/or the board stays in place remains to be seen so we cannot plan ahead.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Only have 2 subs on the bench tonight sad times indeed

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Shakers will survive!!

Cannot wait for Gigg Lane again next season :)

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Hope thats the case smudge.

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Bury takeover completed today, Nice to have some good news, looking forward to 2 cracking derby's now next season.:)

Re: Bury FC statement re: financial difficulty
 

Nice to hear that our mates down the road are alive and well!
