Just over 1700 at Rochdale last night as well. Even Accrington who are battling against relegation to the Conference pulled in 2000.

 

I really wouldn't care if Buckets and Rochdale went bang or plumetted out to the lower reaches of non league.

Bury will go bust sooner or later. Sooner the better for me.

 

A club stands no chance where the locals don't even refer to their own town as 'town'.

And when they do , I really dont think there is enough interest there for a phoenix club, like Aldershot, Newport etc.

is it possible for FC Utd to merge with Bury and have their league spot - but like Wimbledon becoming the MK Dons?

 

FC Utd have slowed down a bit and been promoted for 5 years with crowds now dipping, stuck in division 7 so imagine they'd jump at a chance like that and no one would even noticed if Bury dissapeared

I've wondered for a few years why this hasn't happened, both are pretty much non-entities who could only benefit from each other support

Aren't they having their own ground currently being built? There's an FC Utd fan at work who often talks of them but I've no interest and often switch off.

I seem to remember a few years ago, and am sure have seen this on other occasions, Bury offered discount tickets to any Utd season ticket holder who went to their play off semi V Shrewsbury, something like that

 

only thing was, it was on the same day as the manchester derby, stupid cunts

 

and they lost

Do they still have the turnstile in the cemetery wall? Their very existence reminds me of some seriously shite games and crap players like Wayne Entwistle and Tony Cunningham, both of whom ended up at Burnden for reasons that elude me to this day. Shay-kurs, Shay-kurs, rar,rar,rar.

 

TC didn't do too badly for us did he considering our level at the time?

FC United come over all principled when the Bury merger is mentioned, it would go against their ethics to replace another team apparently. Seems fine for them to cheer on the actual United still though? Speaking of Bury and Rochdale reminds me of a drunk we met at Rochdale away few years back. He told us that the police had graded the worse 5 derby matches in Britain for trouble as Manchester, Glasgow, Millwall West Ham, South Wales coast and... Rochdale v Bury. I'll have a pint of whatever he was drinking

I'd love to draw them away in the cup and see us take over that town.

 

Them or Preston away I hope for every year.

 

Id also like us to get them in the cup.

 

Play them one last time.

The trouble with Bury is they usually up their game by 100 per cent against us - results over the years show that. Four high scoring defeats at Burnden between 85 and 91 and, as they are very fond of pointing out, we've not beaten them at Gigg Lane since 1920 something in the league (we did win a league cup game there in 1993). I'd rather not give them a sniff of a game against us. I did enjoy us stuffing them 4-0 at the Reebok in 1998 though!
