Claims supporters have got hold of the name, ground and history

This is likely to get very amusing

They can hardly afford to split the support

Bury FCSS (the non AFC lot) have seen their arse. They've mocked and abused the AFC group and sounded off about them being a fake club and 'purchased' Gigg Lane to get the 'real Bury' playing there again. Turns out they had no plan and never had the nous to get a team up and running.  They're now throwing themselves at AFC hoping for a merger. 

Gigg Lane isn't a feasible option, even with the promise of Govt/Council cash.  I'd not be surprised if AFC tell em to feck off and carry on with their own thing. 

Mental if they don’t merge but I suppose you’d have to be a bit mental to be a bury fan of any sort full stop.

Been said plenty of times but they couldn’t survive on being one. Becoming little factions, I suspect we won’t see them again.

Hasn't been for years. Needs massive improvements in facilities without the fan numbers through the door to fund it.

Those running AFC seem to have a long term plan and it doesn't involve Gigg. According to my dad's mate they've got land for a ground with space to build bigger facilities if the time ever arrises.

I went watching bury at Northwich a couple of weeks ago, they won 6-1 I think, lost count, whupped em.

anyway, they were singing “we only hate Bolton wanderers” n it made me laugh.

i won’t be singing that at Man Utd anymore even tho I still hate the stards! 😂

Just noticed this AFC Bury quietly going about their business 

Into the Quarter finals now of the FA Vase after beating Tring at the weekend (over 500 teams entered the competition) 

2 games away from the major cup final for teams of their level

Play Congleton away in the quarter finals 

 

 

Nothing like a good cup run to get the fans in. They can easy beat Cong.

 

That's not true. You don't apply to join the Counties, you apply  to join the step/level, and the FA allocate you. Is my understanding.

For those interested there is a good article about their application here, and towards the end of the article the statement from  AFC Bury is worth a read , (Point 5 seems to be the crux of the issue ) 

If my understanding is correct It appears Bury Fc have gone down this route in order to try to secure a £1 million government grant  to help them purchase Gigg Lane as  there needs to be a football team playing there and so long as they are at loggerheads with AFC Bury they are stuck between a rock and a hard place, and AFC Bury wont play at GiGG Lane without an agreed merger.

End of.

They’ve fucked it up n missed out on promotion from north west counties

however I think they’re planning on another vote to secure the merger n get back to gigg? 

They’ll keep voting until they get the right result. Much like the Jocks 👀 

There's a vote ongoing.

They got done by Vauxhall Motors "home" and away. I say home as they played at Mossley as the pitch at Radders was fucked. Anyone who has seen the pitch at Mossley will see the irony in that!

The North-West Counties next season is stacked. Glossop got relegated yesterday, Ramsbottom already down. Two giants at that level.

The pitch at Mossley was rough-as in my playing days. The players were fckg crackers, plus the fans were horrible. I'm assuming nothings changed.

There & Leek I genuinely felt scared that we might get attacked in the dressing rooms.

Leek is the best changing rooms I’ve seen, pretty timid compared to the worst places, Radcliffe for example. Stafford Rangers was bad, spitting during covid times. Workington sounded tasty yesterday.

Voted to merge. The right decision and as much as they hate us, I’d like to see them back.

I’m not sure we will but they’ve made the right choice I think.

Horrible shower of cunts, kicked off with Colls fans at Radcliffe, came to Colls pissed up trying to cause trouble ripped Bolton flags down, they deserve fuck all except a good kicking

I’d like to see them where they deserve to be, in the North West Counties. It’s such a poor league these days, Avro went straight through, same with Vauxhall Motors.

Can't say their disappearance has made one iota of difference, either way, to me as a Bolton fan.

Complete indifference. 

 

 

So this is a new club using the old name 

Hope they go pop again, soon

I'm really pleased about this, its right that Gigg Lane hosts Bury FC games and I hope they soon get back to a half decent level.  I get that a few of them hate BWFC, I don't care, its not those kids I'm pleased for.

A derby with wigan in a couple of seasons.
