Statement supplied to us by Derek Calrow OBE

As the principal benefactors who  enabled  the purchase of the Bury FC Gigg Lane Stadium to take place, we express our great disappointment that due to a convoluted  voting system a minority of Bury FC Supporters have been able to veto the wishes of AFC Bury & the majority of Bury FC Supporters in merging the two groups of dedicated Shakers supporters to return football to Gigg Lane.

As benefactors, we will continue to give our support to achieve what the vast majority of Shakers, be they AFC Bury or Bury FC Supporters  wish for, namely League Football back at Gigg Lane.
