My mate has just told me, Bury are applying for the National league next season. He read in the paper. Has anyone got the link? If that's the case, should they not be playing in a much lower league?
They have been expelled from the EFL, therefore their natural next division is the Conference Premier. This can be rejected, but they may be accepted and placed in Conference North.
The club still exists, and apparently the debt of the ground (the mortgage) is currently up for sale, as the company owning it has gone into administration. This is the light at the end of the tunnel for them, as it might see them keep Gigg Lane, if they can somehow survive (their court hearings keep getting adjourned).
