Hi Bill. I've noticed you're from and/or live in Blackpool. So I can fully understand your annoyance. Oyston = Scum. On behalf of the vast majority of Bury fans, can I apologise for a few teenage numbnuts.The same fans that had this banner against Blackpool? Nah, fuck them!
Karma has a way of biting you.
It wasn't so long ago the dickheads in our support had a banner that could have had us playing European football in an empty Ibrox!You could pick shit like that out from every team's fans in the whole of the UK.
Here's what you need to grasp. Don't let a few fans define your whole support.
You should know better than that after the bottle throwing ned at the Leverkusen game.
You've apologized for a few idiots,we all have a few in our support, the guy from Blackpool has made it clear he won't be helping, that's up to him.Apologies also for that banner. As R11 says it was just a handful of idiots remembering the day we got kicked around the town by a large group of Blackpool hooligans. No excuse though. 99% of us are genuine football fans and are extremely grateful for any donations for a new start. We won't be playing at Gigg Lane initially but hope to get back there one day ! Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts. UTS and WATP
Had seen this on the link you posted on the Bury board, wasn't the best weekend games wise, but glad you had a good time in the Bristol etc.Hey Bears. Another Bury fan here. I’m also on the Facebook page and put out a request for help for tickets a few months ago. Anyway, we got to the Livingston game that was put back 24 hrs due to storm Dennis. Had a great night out at Oswalds and The Bristol, met loads of fans and every one of you were so welcoming and supportive. I was also on The Gers TV a couple of days later with Sie & Sandra. I’m hoping to be on there again in the next few weeks with some exciting news.
Anyway, what can I say but thanks to everyone for all their support and sign ups to Bury AFC. As supporters, you are without doubt the best I have ever come across. There will be more to come between our two clubs in the next couple of weeks, and I hope we get the support you have shown so far. Hopefully a real affiliation can be formed between the two clubs.
UTS, WATP.
Hello Bears, lifelong Shaker here.
My first ever Bury game was in May 1993, aged just five years of age with my older brother and Grandad, it was the final game of the season and we lost 2-1 at home to Crewe. A week or so later we faced York City in the playoff semi final, a tie we would end up losing 1-0 over 2 legs.
Whilst on holiday in Wales during May half term I still remember watching the news story covering Rangers Scottish Cup final victory over Aberdeen, and the victory securing a domestic treble. Since then I always routed for Rangers in the SPL. Funnily enough I was in Wales again in Springbank 99 when Rod Wallace secured Rangers their next domestic treble.
I still remember those epic titanic title victories under McLeish, both won on the final day. Delighted as I was for Rangers I was also delighted to see the smug, arrogance of Celtic's 'biggest club in the world' fans put on its arse.
That treble under McLeish in 2003 also came as I left secondary school, a place I hated. In the same season a cash strapped Bury, just out of admin the previous summer made the league two playoffs. I followed Rangers Scottish LC progress very avidly on Channel Five that season, every Thursday night. A 3-2 win at Hibs stands out in my mind as does the 2-1 League Cup Final victory over Celtic.
I also recall Celtic's UEFA Cup run getting on my nerves that year. I watched the final in a bar at the Health club I was member of back then, I was the only one cheering when Porto scored the winner.
Anyway, Bury have always been the life and soul of my life. Financial struggles have never been far away (something Stewart Day's supporters used to use to defend him as he blatantly destroyed our football club before our very eyes). I remember 2002 when we were in administration and very nearly went to the wall, I was in year 10 at secondary school and the point of ridicule off many, many faces, mainly armchair United and City fans, I found myself in tears over the matter very often.
Going further back though, I remember as a child waking up on a Saturday and getting the instant buzz that I was going to Gigg Lane that day. I recall the cold nip of a Winter's afternoon as my toes felt like icecles, and only the scalding heat of my Grandad's flask of Coffee warming me up. Then there was the heat and excitement of August, turning up at the turnstiles, brimming with confidence and clad in the new Bury kit. Instead of coffee, ice pops.
Weather, conditions, clothing, it didn't matter, as long as I was there. Even now I can still capture the warm glow of the matchday feeling inside me, it was something I have always wanted my kids to live through.
So Stewart Day and Glenn Thomas. Christ I could write a novel on these two lying scumbags and it would not begin to cover what they did, the lies they told, the crap and excuses they gave for their actions. Not only have they destroyed a club and its history, they have destroyed people's lives. My fellow Shakers post above regarding the car park scheme and Capital Bridge, well believe me, it isn't even touching the surface on the things they did. But from the moment they came lying into town it had a huge effect on me and many other Bury fans. I couldn't actually enjoy supporting my club, not properly when I was well aware those crooks were pissing the club up the wall.
If you want me to summarise what level of scum Stewart Day is though, then take this in. He left the club in a mountain of debt, with a host of legal issues, no longer genuinely owning our own ground and in the hands of a dangerous, lying sociopath (current 'chairman' Steve Dale). Yet he still had the audacity to go on local radio and claim he'd left us in a stronger position than what he found us in and lied about writing off the debts. Before vanishing off the scene. Unbelievable!
The worst thing in all this is the fact I became a parent when my daughter was born in March, just as all this crap was kicking off. For all the pleasure and happiness it has brought, I have not been able to fully enjoy or embrace parenthood in the last year with this hanging over me.
I could write a new essay on the lying scum at the EFL or how our local newspaper fucked us over recently, but I have probably bored you all enough.
All I can do is end by saying thanks, from the bottom of my heart, the support your fans have shown through all of this has been off the scale. If a friendly can be organised between our clubs, even if it is just a Rangers Reserve team and you bring a 100 fans on a coach, then great I would love to share a beer with you all and regail on some great stories following your great club.
Up the Shakers and up the GersThink the title sceptic gave themselves was greatest fans in the world, which is true, because they have the ability to disguise themselves as empty green seats, they're 2cd best in size and it annoys them a tad , hoping everything will now take off for you guysHello Bears, lifelong Shaker here.

Looks like you already have mateAnd another for our MB.
I don't know how you guys keep up on here...it's like a full time job.
One of the benefits of only having 3000 supporters, instead of 3 million!
Edit: Bloody hell. I've just googled how many fans Rangers have worldwide and it's come up 20 million!!! It's on wiki so...?! But is that really true? No idea if the link will work but it's there in massive numbers and letters! Mental if true and can we borrow some?!
Top manSmall donation made, I wish them the best of luck.

Good post, echoedThat's me signed-up as a member, I look forward to taking an interest in the safeguarding of football in Bury going forward.
I like what community focussed clubs are all about, expecially when its done properly and it provides a welcome antidote to the circus that is top level football, a lot of the time.
I remember reading the Guardian articles especially, last year and could empathise, given what we had gone through a few years ago.
No love in required or anything like that, just a sense of solidarity from a football person to several others.
I played in a final on their ground(the bowl).FC Isle of Man away, next season will be a belter
As you sayNot far from this good wee market town.
Great to see lots of you refer to being from Lancashire.
Although we pronounce your Clubs name as Burry and not Berry...
Mon the Red Rose...We won the War
As you say
Bury, Lancashire.
Red Rose our symbol
Think we would bring a lot more than 100 fans mate,a friendly would be a good day out.
Thanks for your support. I don't think we will be back at Gigg for a couple of years yet but that has to be the long term goal.Donated, all the best Bury. Would be great to have a friendly/fundraiser down at Gigg Lane if you manage to get back in there once the current situation is over.
We always back our forces, not like the unwashed that have a song about Lee that mocked his murder, a club without shame.
Your post is now on our MB. I know I keep saying it but every time I come on here I get goose bumps!!!Was going to donate , but went for the membership , my middle boys first ever game , cracking wee day , great fans . Looked out for results after that . Good luck lads .
As you suggest Billy. Shameful.We always back our forces, not like the unwashed that have a song about Lee that mocked his murder, a club without shame.
I got mine as well. Its great to see Bears getting behind the Bury journeyGot my receipt for certificate of membership earlier.
Enjoying being a part of this, let's help take Bury right to the top
Thank you and all your fellow Gers. We’ve had nothing but lies and deceit from our owners for more years than I care to remember. But this thread, and the heartfelt support you have provided to us in both thought and deed has given me back my faith in football and those who understand that supporting your club, your team is in the blood.I got mine as well. Its great to see Bears getting behind the Bury journey
As you suggest Billy. Shameful.
Lee was (is) a local lad and his funeral was at Bury Parish Church. Thousands turned out for him.
RIP: Fusilier Lee Rigby
I'd have been the same, no Rangers no football for me, I'd probably have had an occasional look at English results, but Scottish football would have been dead to meCouple of questions for the Bury fans on here:
1) Have you been able to watch football this season, or has it been too difficult with what happened to your club? Asking because I’m unsure how I’d feel about watching a match, knowing that Rangers had been taken away from me and could no longer compete in a competition. I’d genuinely probably find another hobby, like shopping with the missus! *shudder*
2) I read that you had some loyal non-playing members of staff (one woman had worked for the club for over 40 years I’m sure). Are these people behind the Phoenix club idea, or are there any plans to get them involved?
All the best to you all!
Someone on the forum would probably have a picture of it, seen it on here a few times,Has somebody got the Rangers Lee Rigby flag picture that maybe Bury fans haven't seen?
