Approx. 500 Bury (AFC) fans watched a dull 4-1 defeat at Abbey Hey (Gorton, Manchester) in the FA Vase 3rd round on Saturday. 400 pre-sold and crowd announced as 650.

An ideal scenario but won’t happen. We have a CVA agreement that without any football cannot be met. We have an owner who refuses to put any money in (in fact he claims he is owed £7M in the CVA)... as soon as we fail a CVA agreement we will be liquidated at the courts, so that won’t be long...

I don’t think it’s done to offend, it’s just ignorance on the protocol of phoenix clubs.

We don’t know for definite if it’s to discuss Bury, do we? I’d bet it’s more to do with what happens next at Bolton.

A random Brazilian bloke taking over Bury F.C. at the 11th hour just sounds too dodgy. A quick google search of SJ Global, this apparent £500M company, returns nothing apart from a company with a HQ in Norwich with 2 employees.

You are my Bury, my only Bury, you make me happy, when skies are grey... you’ll never know just how much I love you, so please don’t take my Bury away...... :sad:

Let’s hope you win then.

I find it strange that Telford aren’t more well supported. Obviously AFC Telford are a phoenix of the original but even still, the town of Telford is the largest in Shropshire and there is no large competition near Telford, the nearest big clubs are Wolves or the Birmingham ones but even they’re...

Shrewsbury v Telford would be a good spectacle, 15 Miles between them at a guess and not played competitively in decades... It’s always those type of rarely seen rival fixtures that are the best I think, Stoke v Vale is another example.

Add Gillingham - Maidstone to the not included list also.

What about teams with no genuine rivals at all? Off the top of my head: Crawley Bournemouth Salford Coventry (?) - they seem to have something with Leicester but not very substantial, even Leicester could be considered a club without any genuine rival... Carlisle have loose ones with ones...

Still waiting for that fixture to happen, the bastards! In the same vein, Newcastle United vs Newcastle Town

Other rivalries that won’t have been mentioned because it doesn’t include non-league clubs: Shrewsbury - Telford and Hereford Yeovil - Weymouth Mansfield - Chesterfield and Notts County Rochdale - Stockport Stevenage - Barnet also a noticeable absence.

I don’t know if the Cowley’s would be enough to qualify someone as a rival? Even a loose one... Teams you hate and teams you consider rivals are completely different, or else Man U would be top of most clubs lists. I once knew a Leeds fan who hated QPR because of some personal issues with a...

Torquay? Yeovil (kind of)?
