Ive taken this from another forum ,the situation Bury find themselves in sounds bad and certainly sounds not unlike one we may move into in the not to distant future...
Right, I feel that I have to some where, somehow express what I am currently feeling. Utter sheer disbelief that my football club could be wound up all because of £180,000.
Yeah, that’s right £180 grand. F*cking chump change when you compare the debt that some clubs in the Premier Greed is good league have. What’s £180,000? It probably wouldn’t even get you a semi in some parts of the country. But it’s what is bleeding my club of its very soul, slowly ebbing away everything we have tried to fight so hard to preserve.
This is no overnight thing, a few of you will be saying “Oh look, Bury in the shit again because they don’t learn from mistakes”, it’s not that. After going into administration in 2002 the club as a part of bargaining with creditors was tied into paying a CVA over the next four years. It saved our football club, but now it’s killing it.
There is at the time of writing 18 months to run on the CVA. £10,000 a month needs to be found and paid off each month as a result. Bury have to meet each instalment whilst also paying players wages, staff wages, the dreaded tax man (a pain in all our lives), all whilst living on some of the most pitiful f*cking attendances you could imagine a football league club could get.
Bury as a town is in what I like to call an unfortunate geographical position, too close to big city Manchester for its own good. Bury is a small Lancashire mill town with a population of just 80,000 -add another 20,000 for the residents of the small outskirts of the town who make up the Metropolitan borough of the town
