Bury FC have been refused entry to the National league set up for the upcoming season. They were hoping to join the same league as the new fans owned club,NWCL,but are now in no mans land. This could spell the real end of this club. There are no staff or players, just Dale - and a humungous debt. So, there isn't really a club, not in any viable sense, at least. There's still the ground, of course, that must be worth a few bob. But, if memory serves, there was some skullduggery over that, with it being 'sold' to a company run my Dales' son-in-law, or something. Presumably to stop the creditors getting their hands on it? In a fit of outlandish originality, the new, fan-owned, club is called AFC Bury...

' Their 'stadium' has a capacity of 3,000, 25% of that is 750. And their average attendance is... No idea, but I'll bet Sword's pension on it being well under 750.

I would bet yours that it's under 350.. Unfair to take last season's figures, but the 2018-19 season was: Highest Whitstable 465
Lowest Phoenix Sports 162
Average About 260 which is what they got against Cray Wanderers

FC Romania fold: /photo/1 But may be continued by a new committee ( per the fast moving world of twitter ! ). Fc Romania have been saved by a Romanian businessman who has agreed to sponsor them to the tune of £750,000. Some good news in amongst all the bad.
