Could you forego eating or drinking for two hours if it meant you could get back to watching live football?

I was joking you would never get me eating a burger even if paid for it.

Stated on the newly formed BURY AFC website on Wednesday 8th. July 2020 :-

"A very brief word on BURY FC. We don’t yet know the fate of the club and it’s not in our hands, but there will be no celebrations should Bury FC be denied entry into a league, whatever we think of the rights or wrongs of it. A number of Bury fans still hold out hope for the old club and we respect that. We set Bury AFC up in the knowledge that saving Bury FC might not be possible, not because we wanted to see its demise. We all share the same common bond for the club and the town and we hope this will be restored again."

From the BBC Sport football webpage today :-

Bury await National League decision from Football Association.

Bury are likely to find out later this week whether they will be allowed into the National League system next season. Representatives from the club have been in discussions with the Football Association for a number of weeks. Information has been requested so the FA can be certain the Shakers meet the criteria required for entry into the competition. Only when that has been received will a decision be taken about where Bury should be placed.

There is a vacancy within the system because two teams - Barrow and either Harrogate or Notts County - will be promoted, with only one - Stevenage or Macclesfield - dependent on the EFL appeal into the latter club's most recent points deduction - coming down.

• 46 league fixtures will be scheduled in the National Division, and either 42 or 40 league fixtures will be scheduled in the North and South Divisions.

Yes, it's a case now of Bury FC or no Bury FC.

Bury FC were neither included in the FA list of 737 accepted clubs for the FA Cup nor the 447 accepted clubs for the FA Trophy. 

I wonder when we will see the announcement by the National Leaque regarding Bury FC.

Bury FC issued this statement a few minutes ago :-

Club Statement August 2020

Firstly, we apologise to our loyal Fans for not keeping you updated as we wanted, we were advised to not give the FA any reason to reject our application so we maintained silence.

Over 3 months ago, we submitted our application to the FA and furthermore our Lawyers requested a sit down to discuss the complexity of the Bury FC situation to avoid ambiguity and indeed lay to rest any concerns they may have. Some months later they acknowledged and with weeks to go till the deadline stated their willingness to have a conference call.

We had the call which was cordial, we requested a further meeting once matters had been digested and the committee advised they would come back to us, we heard nothing and our Lawyers prompted them as we were concerned having eroded 3 months to resolve any concerns, they were now eroding the last weeks which left no time to address very important matters that could affect our application.

On Tuesday we received an email outlining reasons not to allow our application, which turned out to be very matters we and our Lawyers had been trying to address with them for 3 months, none were an issue or a problem only time and the terms of their compliance were the governing factor.

In the future all these issues will be resolved and Bury FC will be back playing football at Gigg lane rest assured, our application for 21/22 season is being prepared now and will be chased monthly to avoid a repeat of this atrocity, lets hope because a further season has elapsed they don’t try to place us in tier 7, as leaving Division one we were supposed to get a high placing the following season as the demotion was the sentence

Also, to be clear about our Stadium, BURY FC own Gigg and it’s not for sale or is it being re-possessed.

Given Covid nothing is a given this season and Bury FC wants to wish all clubs well in these tying times, Football Clubs are the mainstay in many towns, they hopefully bring communities together and should be about the enjoyment of what happens on the pitch not the political subterfuge of the Governing bodies.

Clubs need support and help in these trying times, issuing point deductions like confetti, do they really believe that is the answer, there should be no rule books chiselled in stone in these testing times only survival tactics.

Many Clubs are on the brink of collapse and if Covid restrictions continue we will see a tsunami of Administrations and Receiverships, burying your head in the sand is not an option

Over the coming weeks we will advise of the goings on at Bury FC to secure its future.

Once again apologies for events but after 2O months of battling to save our Club we are more versed in the politics of Football than ever so better placed to face this war.
