Dr. Feelgood Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The Rat Brothers should be interested Shirley, instead of the Subbuteo, bog with a 5,000 capacity they use now. Frankly rescuing Bury should have been their principle aim. But no, it had to be an ego trip & a new ground, new club, new name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re talking about joining up with Sale RU and buying the AJ Bell Stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimron Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 It'll end up being housing, probably classed as a "brownfield" urban site so should go through planning relatively easily. I was afraid of something similar happening to us in our darkest hours... the reebok was the lead project to get Middlebrook through planning as a "sports & leisure" development. It has now served it's purpose and if the club went bump then the stadium could easily be taken down and redeveloped, it could be seen as an embarrassment to all the other traders on match days etc. and I'd imagine a lot of folk avoid shopping there on those days.

No chance. It can’t get rid of a few minutes rainfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 There's a very limited market for rectanglar, grass laid, stand surrounded sports venues. Like there's football, egg chasing and, well ...... there is no 'and' really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the talk is that it would only be Sale RU and Neville’s Pinkies with Salford RL turfed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Allegedly the lead plan is for the council to buy it and go down the community stadium route with AFC Bury as one of the tenants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
