Bury FC

[Frank Lincoln]

The Football Association have confirmed that the name Bury Football Club can once again be used in competition, and a squad for the unified two clubs is ready to start the 2023/24 season in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division with football officially back at Gigg Lane.

This is great news for all at Bury and is a testament to the hard work of those people who refused to allow the club to die. I wish them all the best as they start on the long road back.

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

That's good to hear. Although I've never forgiven them for beating us 3-1 at Gigg Lane in the first game of the 88-89 season they were treated appallingly by ownership and the league so good luck to them

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Good luck to them. Going to be a long journey back to the football league

 

[Coffs Wolf]

Excellent news and the best of luck for them.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

My local team when I lived in Ramsbottom! I never went...

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Sounded like a good outcome in the end, albeit they are starting again low down. Club set up with a new constitution that guarantees fans have the final say. Merges the newly formed Bury AFC and the old club. More needs to be done to prevent these situations happening in the first place.

 

[Jefe]

Great news. I still remember Sky Sports' vile countdown clock towards their demise.

Good for them! How far down the structure is the league they are in?

 

[Flea]

Good news indeed.
Good luck to them!

I think they are level 9 in the pyramid, so they have got a long way to go to even get to national league level.

Always had a soft spot for Bury since watching us there in the sixties and a
lady Bury fan invited us back for tea

Gigg Lane was one of the first away grounds I visited (1966). Unfortunately we lost 2-1 (Ernie Hunt).

Surely Ramsbottom was your local team when you lived here.

I might make the effort to go to Gigg Lane but actually acre bottom is more appealing!

Ramsbottom cricket team was more my cup of tea! Back in the day in the Lancashire League, you could watch players like Viv Richards and Clive Lloyd a couple of hundred yards from where we lived.

Yes, a great watch, when I moved here another West Indies batsman was the pro, Keith Arthurton but like you I saw many fine test players across the Lancashire league.

James Anderson started his career in the Lancashire league, and he’s not done too badly..

 

[Polish Wolf]

Good for them, an old club with two FA Cup wins to their name

That was the biggest attendance, in the history of the League the club are in and they took on the side from the smallest ever town to have been in England’s top flight - when Glossop were there in 1899/1900.

A great story all round.

 

[Achilles Last Stand]

Glossop North End is bottom of the pack when looking at the top tier league history table.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

If my memory serves me correctly, back in Sept 1998, Bully's last goal, number 306 was v Bury in a 1-0 home win.

Yes correct, sir.

It is great that Bury fans have their football team back. It will take some time to get back to where they were, but at least they are back.

They were dead, but not Bury'd.

 

[Jamwolf]

With a bit of luck they can be back in Division 2 in 2035.
