Non-League Bury AFC

[Peterdev]

Bury supporters have bought back their ground and are flying high in their division.
Great news for their fans.
Good luck to them and hope to see their fans back in the league they belong soon

Great news. They tend to beat us but hopefully we won’t meet for a while

Isn't there two Bury FC groups going all Judean Peoples Front with each other? Hopefully they can pull together and put the disaster of the last few years behind them.

How can they buy their ground for peanuts but we can’t buy ours for at least ten million or more ?

Because they didn't have to deal with Ka$$am?

An article mentioning Bury FC and Bury AFC...

New benefactor for Shakers wants to reconcile town rivals

THE key benefactor behind The Shakers revival deal has spoken of his ambitions to make Bury FC a sustainable club of which the borough can be proud,…

Hopefully they can patch up their differences.

I'd rather have bury in the football league ( a team that always best us ... mostly anyway ) than bloody Salford or Stevenage

 

[Big Ronaldo]

What an awful journey they have been on.
Fantastic that there are fans that care enough to put their money down and save the club from extinction. All power to them. Let’s hope they can claw their way back.

Wonder what the future will be for Bury AFC when the original Bury FC return to the pyramid...

The logic is that they should come together but the problem of individual egos have to be overcome.

Best of luck with that I say

"After Bury Football Club Supporters’ Society successfully rallied together to buy Gigg Lane, and the intellectual property, history and memorabilia of Bury Football Club out of administration, The Shakers are finally coming back after their tragic expulsion from the English Football League in 2019.

With the help of generous benefactors, the club is now in safe hands. Using the successful German model of 51:49 ownership, we (the Supporters’ Society) make up the 51% majority while the benefactors, Bury fans themselves, are the 49%."

Maybe its time for the 51:49 model to be mandatory? Reckon the EPL/FL will buy it?

Really hope they eventually get back to where they were - absolutely horrific few years for their fans.

That model is in place in Germany and has produced a one team league, no thanks.

Looks like the egos of FC Bury fans have stopped the club of Bury AFC joining with them tonight.

Sad

Presumably the club that has the ground will be regarded as the real Bury, there’s not a lot of point having the other one as well.

No the opposite.

Bury AFC are fan owned and get big crowds of the old Bury fans. Believe they played York City in the FA Cup the other day.

The people that own the ground, I have no idea what they have planned. The majority of the members of their association voted for Bury AFC to merge with them.

Remember when Bury were in the football league and got s**t crowds? I can’t see splitting in two helping that.

Doubt they will ever make it back to the Football league unless they get a rich benefactor.

I think it's like if we went bust and you had the fans create a new club v Kassam creating one. Really complex situation which needs resolving for the good of Bury.
