Bury’s winding up order is heard tomorrow. By all accounts it is being uncontested by the club!
The result of that scenario is that they will fold.
Jesus!
Where have you seen that? No mention of it on BBC or local paper

Well that's what I would have thought, but Aubrey said he'd seen it said they wouldn't. Hence my question

Just on their message board. One of the more clued up posters said his interpretation of the winding up order was that it would go uncontested. Could have been Bury’s version of Reg, of course!

Adjourned until the 15th May. Between now and then they hope to settle the £277,000 they owe HMRC plus players/staff pay other outstanding debts.
This is against TV income (?) and gate receipts, new ST sales etc.
Mmmmm

Potentially this sounds like a never ending cycle of debt for them.

If for any reason they are placed in administration then they will be docked 12 points, leaving them on the same total as Swindon (59) but obviously with a far better goal difference.
That would open the play off race even more.
Straws clutched firmly.

From a selfish perspective I have an open bet on Lincoln, Mansfield and Franchise all being promoted so having these issues at Bury is helpful.
Of course I hope they get through it.

Oh absolutely, but a spanner in the works at this stage of the season cannot be good for them and could be very good for the rest of the chasing teams. Their board have missmanaged the club for several years now, sailing close to the wind on many occassions with weird loans based upon promotions etc with massive interest rates. It was only a matter of time before this sort of thing blew up in their faces.

Reading their reason for adjournment until 15th May is not pretty. Basically, their post season funds are going to be swallowed to cover this, which begs the question how will they fund ongoing expenses over the summer? I'd imagine a huge clear out of players is about to happen, so even if they survive unscathed by things such as Admin, they look likely to be a basket case for next season regardless of division. The owner is essentially saying as much in public.
