A step into the unknown for us or the abyss? I have a feeling we are going to encounter people and places this season, that will be unique. And maybe the odd trip to Royston Vasey.Never heard of them before looking at table posted above.
Seems this place is full on mentally challenged central.

Good Afternoon all.
Another Bury AFC co-owner here
I haven't posted on this thread for a while but I get all the updates on Twitter and the email communication from the club is first class.
Last Saturday must have been some buzz with those 2 late goals, just a pity there wasnt more fans in the ground.
I do a bit of writing, here on FF. I'd be happy to do a report or an audio interview with one of you guys, no bother.

Never at any point has SD2 had your interest at heart, the fans club is definitely the one to back now, it's run by the fans, you know everything that is going on in the Bury afc, forever Bury should be backing you up now, SD2 is going to rip off the cash again, probably he'll give up rights to the club but rent the ground back at sky high ratesOh my goodness
I am embarrassed by Forever Bury
To start at the beginning, very 'simplified',
Bury FC has an 'official supporters group' called Forever Bury
Bury FC had a chairman, stewart day (SD1) who had a 5 year plan to get BFC to the Championship and recklessly borrowed money, mortgaging the football ground, Gigg Lane, beyond it's value and at exorbitant rates of interest. Meanwhile SD1 had a string of other companies, all called Mederco which were for building student accommodation and carparks - all gone bust and in administration to the costs of greater than £50M
SD1 magically sold Bury FC to the current owner, steve dale, SD2 for £1
So SD2 turned up, claiming he was looking forward to save Bury FC, stating he had recovered from luekemia and wanted to give the club a second chance and build up the youth academy.
At this point, Bury FC was in EFL League 2 but doing well.
SD2 stopped paying the players, the staff, the bills and it was discovered that he had liquidated his last 50 companies. His tactic of not paying at his previous companies meant people quit to find employment elsewhere. SD2 then mops up the riches of selling off the assets.
At a football club it is different though.
People stayed and played for the love of the club, indeed the players got Bury FC promoted to League 1, amazingly.
More amazingly, the groundsman Mike Curtis, still cuts the grass, even now, for no money. 18 months on. What a hero.
SD2 in his own words has no interest in football, never even knew Bury had a football team until he aquired them and it will be easy for him to walk away from Bury
SD2 never passed the fit and proper owner EFL test and didnt show proof of funds to run the club, especially as he had not paid anything for months
The new league season 2019 started, dale still not complying with the EFL got Bury FC expelled from the EFL, and because of this act he can not own or enter any football club in any league, so his continued ownership prevents Bury FC being in any league.
Forever Bury, the supporters body, hoped to save Bury FC, 1 by finding a new buyer, 2 by backing a self claimed bitcoin business man who was going to buy Bury FC out of liquidation, 3 as a last resort support a fan based group to raise a new Bury team, Bury AFC.
Well option 1 collapsed at the end with the hidden debts due to SD1 doing things like selling off car park spaces at the ground and other complications.
Option 2 was a no goer as bitcoin man really didnt have any money.
A consortium of Bury businessmen fans made a valiant attempt to buy Bury FC from SD2 but SD2 is not interested in selling
Also during this time, Winding Up Orders WUP were being fought off, HMRC and a long list of creditors trying to get what they are owed.
SD2 managed to manipulate a CVA payment agreement by his daughter's partner buying the mederco debt interest for £70k with a £7M claim against Bury FC. This gave SD1 control of the CVA.
The payment agreement was set up, staved off the WUP, then surprise surprise SD2 reneges and no payment is made so the CVA has collapsed, all creditors are owed the full amount. Also, the payments to obtain the mederco debt were also stopped.
Forever Bury are now trying to get the club off SD2, he bought it for £1 and all kinds of payments have disappeared, gate money, season ticket money, transfer fees all unaccounted for. No club accounts have been issued for years.
Today Forever Bury have announced they want to crowd fund a payment of £2.5M with no details about what this payment does. It raised £40 in the first 7 hours, two of the £10 donations made by SD2's daughter and partner.
Forever Bury have been invisible for the last year, claiming they have been working night and day to save Bury but cant say anything because of Non disclosure agreements.
Meanwhile, option 3 happened, over 300 Bury fans with skills and professional knowledge rose to the occasion to ensure that a football team would be playing in Bury this season.
Hats off to them, as volunteers they have made a massive achievement and Bury AFC are in the bottom tier of the football pyramid.
Coronavirus has prevented Bury FC being back in the WUP court. SD2 hangs on to Bury FC and is hoping with glee that Forever Bury pay him and then continue to pay him annual rent .
So i hope this information will assist.
For me Bury AFC, by the fans for the fans gets my vote.
